la dama en el amor

a last minute decision

2011-10-22T20:27:00.002+08:00

my last day of service with scc was on the first day of F1. legs started to ache as we arranged for set up and guided some new staffs through their first event.

had the weekends by myself, getting ready for my first day at work in the new job the following monday when martin caught me on facebook inviting me over for his birthday.

the party was in brussels and i accepted it, prepared to get fired by my director for it was unethical of me to not inform him of such plans during the interview. then again this meeting was important for martin was family and i wanted to be there to support him through the storm.

it will all get better, i repeatedly inform him. and the sun will shine once again through those dark clouds.

got to the conrad in a breeze and started to walk the streets of brussels, shopping and having godiva, leonidas and neuhaus chocolates out of them boxes while i admire the environment and its people.

it started to get cold and the long bath got me set for a night out with martin. we went to have dinner and settled at a bar overlooking the streets, talking about life. he was great company, my 'ex-boss' and i could never thanked him enough for sponsoring the trip.

martin went back to work the next day and i was warmly greeted by Claudio at the hotel lobby. it has been five years. i was on a road trip with the germans in perth australia and claudio was the eldest among us. he was 25 and i was 21. they made my 21st birthday a memorable one with shots of jaigermeister that got us singing together in harmony. i still dont speak german.

we drove to paris and it was nice to chat about our adventures in oz. i still cant believe that he had the impression that i liked him though i must admit that he was fun to be with. always responsibly drunk, taking care of us, making me do all the crazy stuff no one could imagine. like jumping down a low cliff into the unknown sea and getting on an unstable platform that has been constantly worn off by the strong waves.

the trip was surprisingly short (maybe because we had so much to share) and we dropped off our bags for a walk in the city. walked by the seines and i was mesmerised by the notre dame cathedral. the lourve was a piece of art and then i fell in love at the eiffel. you could feel the romance in the air.

the night greeted me with so much love and we were entertained by the french girls sitting in front of us. it was then i decided this will not be my last. i loved the city too much.

made our way to germany. claudio was driving at speeds i believe any other sg girls would forego. it was insane but i got used to it as he constantly rambled about snails. his impatience was my favourite part of the trip.

bianca made us dinner when we got home. and her kids made the atmosphere merry. i love the way she would listen to my stories and always asking questions, showing me stuffs. a pity jet lag hit me at such timing as my head started to spin. i slipped in to bed falling asleep almost immediately. i'm planning to send some stuffs over in a way of apologising for ruining the almost perfect night.

claudio had so much to show and was stressing as the time we had seemed too short. i politely opted for a relax day out in stuttgart before we drove off to munich. we had german breakfast and i dig pretzels with hot cocoa. had a walk in the park and it was just nice to have the sun shining on me as the air grew colder.

stayed in for a film, keeping warm. it was my last night in germany before heading to dublin.

ran in straight to the car as the meter read 6 degrees. there was frost on the windshield. thank you claudio for taking time off to spend the week with me. he makes trips memorable and this is through experience. my second experience travelling with claudio. we will meet again. for sure.

dublin was cold and wet and i was greeted by cows at the terminal. the train ride to charleville was calm. it has been long since i have had time to myself. martin and the kids greeted me when i arrived and we had dinner together, watching pulp fiction after the kids went to bed.

so much has happened and i was greatly affected. it was such a pity and i wish there was something i could do to help. i knew somehow that my presence was some form of support as i almost called in to extend my stay.

his mum was such a joy. cheerful and insightful. it was a pleasure talking to her. it was there when i first had rice in a very long time. nv ate so much bread, pastry, cheese and wine in my whole life. it was easy to get used to it which was dangerous as it is quite difficult and expensive to have access to such cuisine back at home.

the cliffs of moher and the burrens were a sight, if not for the strong winds. many a times, i thought i could have been blown away. it was nice to be in the country, away from noise. drinking water out of the well which was very refreshing though having a smoke out in the backyard was almost impossible at this time of the year.

got to the city and watched a stand up comedy performance before calling it a night. i was to return home the next day.

it was a time i felt most confused. feeling excited to get home, able to wear shorts in the humidity. but it also felt sad for the time in europe was too short and i was so close to falling in love. it was also difficult to accept the reality of going back to work.

uploaded some pictures on my facebook wall. nothing can capture the moments i had in europe. i told myself in amsterdam five years ago that i will be back and now again i tell myself that this trip is not the last.

chikako watanabe
my fav vivi model

got myself a dosage of vivi while in malaysia for a day out with the yams.
i have been unwell for the past few days. diagnosed with anemia.
down with a fever and now with an irritated throat.

sigh...

i couldnt enjoy the aloe vera drink the owner of an infamous korean restaurant offered.
it tasted yummy until i had to swallow.
it was like forcing lil pebbles into a tiny hole gutter.
impossible.

missed a day out with arpita. here for the week and i feel so bad
for not even trying a kiss and bye.
gotta plan for a trip up to kl sometime in the next weeks.

well, i still enjoyed myself. bag 3 pairs of shorts. real pretty and spotted in vivi magazines.
plus i managed to get some party supplies for both jolene and my bday.

next is the gifts which will be based on the RSVP numbers.
too expensive for me to buy and hope that there will be a full turnout.

got some quotations for my bday cake but if you are one with the creativity,
please drop me an email at aisyahtan@gmail.com

i will provide the pictures of cake and specifications and
hopefully we can come to a favorable agreement.
smiles.

planning for bday party is the only thing that is keeping me sane.
work and school has been a chore.
there's so much to do that i can feel my body wearing out.
i have almost been depreciated of its useful life. :(

my head pounds just at the thought of it. maybe i need a break. a really long break. concentrate on school and not get all worked up easily.
even the doctors highlighted the stress level that could kill me.
in fact, it has already started on my crown.

experiencing hair loss.

H&M Satin Playsuit

I tried my best to stay away from shopping malls and blogshops during the GSS Season but I just could not resist the temptations!

As you know, the exchange rate is bliss at the moment. Plus the fact that there will be H&M in Singapore, I got my hands on them first through theskinnylatte

I have purchased from theskinnylatte before and when they say you will get it in 14 days, you will get it within 14 days upon verification of payment.

So hurry cause sales will continue while stocks lasts.
let her know you're a friend of Aisyah =)

bangkok trip

2010-11-20T22:52:00.002+08:00

Aisyah and Bran's BKK Halloween Trip 2010
decided to consolidate all in one post.
too many pics.

enjoy!

Bangkok Day 1

remember how much i missed home. well, we went back for the week and it has been way too long. took the evening flight of which i recommend to book your flights way in advance and get them at low. flight to and fro was $210 (insurance included) and with the important purchase of extra 15kg baggage whenever you decide to head to bangkok.

please please have some thai baht in small denominations and have them changed in singapore because the rates are better. well, maybe it's because i havent really found a good money changer in bangkok itself but the money changer in a lil corner of bencoolen does offer a good rate. sorry, i cant give the exact location but i do know how to get there. otherwise, try the money changer in lot one shopping centre itself.
yeah it was also recommended by a taxi driver uncle while on my way home one night. the current rate being S$1 to 22.8 baht. this gives you a huge serving of phad thai by the way.

make sure to have the currency in small denominations. cause as soon as you reach bangkok, i'd say to take their metered taxi to your hotel through the expressway. you will have to provide money to the driver for expressway toll which is no more than S$5 depending on how many tolls you go through.

don't worry about communication. the taxi drivers at the airport can speak english. however, print out your hotel details with address to avoid any miscommunication.

we stayed at dang derm hotel on khao san road. for 2, you pay 1100 baht (est S$48) per night. It has hot water shower, air con, hair dryer, fridge, tv with english channels (incl channel news asia), a safe to store your valuables, rooftop swimming pool and english breakfast! the room is of traditional thai concept. plus their service is just fab.
(Click to view)

khao san is a street that never sleeps. it is filled with foreigners. the thais call this street a farang zoo. farang meaning foreigner.
i pass off as a thai always. nothing against it cause i love it! =)

bran was a lil hungry so i brought him to macdonalds cause here in bangkok, they have pork burgers! they pour a generous sprinkle of salt on your fries and it is so unhealthy but tasty. ice ovaltine are my all time fav and bran was much satisfied.

it was bran's first day off so we had an early night (still at 11pm thai time). bangkok is an hour behind singapore by the way.

i wish i could go on but we have the R7s event tmr so i better turn in now. but will update with my fav places to go soon. we didnt really take a lot of pictures cause our hands were too full. ;)

xoxo

Bangkok Day 2

woke up early for breakfast at the hotel and made our way to the wholesale garment exporter. i hear that all from thailand gets their stocks from here.

you have to try the tuk tuks but be prepared to do some bargaining. they charge way more than the taxis but you will never have to worry about getting stuck in a jam. they're excellent drivers with the ability to weave in and out of traffic.

(Bobae tower)
Thailand garment wholesaler
the boys' t-shirt costs me 60 baht each with a minimum purchase of 6 pieces
that's about S$3 per t shirt

oh, when travelling to bangkok. bring empty luggage. everything can be bought in the city itself.

we went on for hours and our arms and legs finally gave way.
bran went for a foot massage while i did my nails.
i love their manicurists. i chose the classic french manicure and pedicure.
they got me seated and had hot stones massage for my feet and hot towel wrap for my arms. truly energizing.

then we headed off for our dental appointment at (Bangkok Smile Dental)
look for Dr. Thanakorn Chanchucherd
he is just amazing. i had scaling and polishing, experiencing no pain or discomfort at all. i would have had my braces done in bangkok if i could. it costs about S$2000 cheaper than in singapore.

stock up on dental wax cause each box costs about S$1

and i saw so many thai teens in braces
i felt so normal. =)

had a quick walk to (Gaysorn Plaza)
your one stop luxury shopping mall

by then my back was hurting so bad cause of the shopping bags. we brought our two empty duffel bags out and had them stuffed with all the loot we got.

this is just day 1 of shopping. imagine that. lol

anyway, you have to watch muay thai when in thailand.
and the best place to go, i recommend (Lumpini Boxing Stadium)
check out their website for match times

forget about paying so much for the seats near the ring.
the excitement is at the back where all the bettings are done.
put your money on the fav. the locals would be most happy to let you know their fav.

it was late but like said, khao san is a street which never sleeps so we had a quick walk finding supper before heading back to the hotel.

shall share with you where i get all my accessories in the next post.

xoxo

Bangkok Day 3
the one place for your buys of accessories, bags and shoes is at yaowarat, chinatown, bangkok

that samurai sword is an umbrella in disguiseand no, i didnt allow bran to get it cause we'll just get held back at the checks for sure

we gave way to more vehicles than ppl. lol.yes, vehicles go on walkway.

my belly stud would costs heaps in singapore but i bought them at S$1 each in thailand. =)happinesss
and yes, if you did hear of the floodings in thailand, it did happen but not in all areas. during our week's stay, we only went through a road of it while cabbing back to our hotel.

they carry supplies by making some make shift kinda boats
i love a&w. it's different from malaysia. go try it. especially that cheesy thingy. yum!

and these cute eggs are everywhere. have it with the soya sauce. S$1 for many many.

and then we head to platinum mall. it's a mega bugis street. only better. i bought my chanel lipstick, mac products and tons of clothes here

>

they costs me a lil over S$2 each ;)and guess what. i wont use it. lol. let me know which one's your fav. i'm feeling santa claus.
next time you're gg to thailand, hire me as your shopping tour guide pls. lolfanana, flights on you the next time i decide to go. the cheapest flight now is by tiger airways. hari raya haji special. just pay taxes. no kidding. it's S$0!
i have to rush posting the bangkok trip cause this is only day 3 of my trip and i have many other events to post. bear with me!!

Bangkok Day 4
decided to sleep in till late and skip the complimentary american breakfast.brought bran to my favourite thai cooked meal stall just one street away.i love thai green curry

brought bran to the infamous MBK. it has almost everything you want.it is the one place where bran went nuts. lol

i bought tons of naraya stuff. i think almost everything in my room can be replaced with them. i even bought bedroom slippers. yes, it is to that extent.

we watched the last exorcism at MBK cinema. since we decided to spend haloween in bangkok this year.when watching a film in bangkok, you would have to stand and respect the king for a couple minutes before the show starts.a short film of the king will be shown on the big screen.what i love most of cinemas in bangkok is that they sell bbq popcorn. it's soo good.and this time i got a chupa chup lollipop and key chain too.

madame tussauds in thailand soon. exciting.the one wax museum i went to was in amsterdam but i nv got a chance to take good photos. i was alone, had to cam whore myself which i gave up halfway cause it looked too silly.

prepare to have extra cash and time to swim with the sharks in siam.definitely gonna do that with bran the next time i go back to bangkok.

we walked and shopped the whole of Patumwan area.decided to pit stop at central world for some proper boutique shopping

they had a skating rink in the mid of the mall and we were lucky to have caught a glimpse of a fashion show

went off to patpong for the evening to have a taste of the red light

ping pong show, tiger dance, whatever them farangs and thai call themit is in patpong area.bran freaked out and didnt wanna have a go at itit is fairly expensive but for the experience, it sure is worth the money.

we grabbed on them replicas cause they were too real.from bags to watches to sunglasses.prepare to haggle big time.

Bangkok Day 5
Day 5 we've been up too early and in bed too lateand frankly didnt miss sg one bit. loland today we tried to fit in by being local
alot of them spoke to us in thai, until we shook our head in confusionso it wasnt too difficult for us, to behave like one, really.

thai coffee and tea, yummy but i wont have a cup everyday cause it was too sweet

went to the local supermarket.found out that the girls love their cosmetic. they try on every new product. the thai girls love to hang out at watson and boots

we brought home some thai instant noodles and they were spicy!fanana would love it cause i could never finish a pack without sweating and chugging a litre of water. bottoms up!

got caught in the middle of a local tv series.

and to all who has an hour or two to spare in their visit to bangkok, please go watch a lil muay thai. visit the lumphini boxing stadium and forget about getting the seats near the ring. the fun is all at the back where the bettings are. the locals will be most happy to tell you their fav.

ok, a classic photo of a satisfied but super tired me. i love those coconut ice cream with fillings. best thing is they'll give you the cup of coconut water too for the whole deal of S$1.

and talking about insects. they fry them good and have them with soya sauce and pepper. it taste like your average potato chipsonly catch is you'll have shells stuck on your tongue and have to scrap them off.with your fingers, literally. to pull them out one by one.not even a cup of beer can help to get rid of that taste or feeling.

Bangkok Day 6
the typical american breakfastwe kinda miss it now. it's a breakfast buffet provided by dang derm hotelthe latest addition to the infamous khao san road

and again, i skipped over to naraya cause it was never enough

gave my phone a makeoverhead over to pantip plaza for your dose of ITa thai version of sim lim square, only better cause you can haggle nuts
we were suppose to have a day out at dreamworld. toss ourselves in the air and challenge gravity but somehow, after days of shopping, we just wanted to chill out and decided to give it a miss.
this december, alot of our friends were holding their wedding which made me decided to tailor our suits and dresses. the one place i best recommend is savile row.they make what you want. i just had to give them a rough idea of what i wanted, give my budget, do my fitting and my dress was sent to the hotel.

i love it!and if i need another dress, they accept pictures and will make them for you according to your fitting and deliver them to wherever you areprovided, you are of the same size from the last they've seen you.

i so appreciate the transport system singapore has although it burns my pocket too deep for a day's trip

and if you think sg girls are into korean, you shd see the thai. korean pop has dominated asia, i tell ya. they're everywhere

what i love about the train station. even after gg on platform through the ticket entrance, you can still find an atm and a newstand

spent the night shopping at pratunam. loves!

saw this lil pup by the street asking for donation. i dunno but they are alot of busking and homeless ppl, it is quite a sight. how i wish i had an endless supply of money. i think we'll all do the same.

bran cant get enough of the insect diet

Bangkok Day 7

the famous weekend market, Chatuchak. only open on weekends.it is a must go, they sell everything from your daily household items to apparels to even animals.
we decided to give it a skip since having gone to almost all the wholesale markets.
been to the weekend market before and if you can take the heat and getting lost, i guess it'll be a great experience for you

we spend the last day in bkk covering the whole of khao san area

nv leave bkk without having a bowl of tom yumthis street hawker i know selling seafood has a relatively good crowd everyday

even men in suits, policeman and tai tai were caught in the scene

i tried looking for thai tom yum soup base in the local supermarkets but it is rather difficult considering the wide variety and descriptions in a foreign language we do not understand.their tom yum rocks!!!after a good meal, we decided to stay in and watch 24 hours, the US TV series in our room, preparing for the big night

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
and so we spent our first overseas halloween together.

the thais are just brilliant.
the night was perfect.
we were even on the local news.

we love the guy's eyes.
it was pure creepy white

and she was my fav ghoul for the night.
a local ghoul

we disco out on the road.
our hearts pounding. there was no way we could sleep in early so we scared and entertain ourselves with street hawker food and great crowd

even the dog was playing dead

i bought cup corn from a corn seller zombie. lol
oh, they add milk to their cup corn.
i much prefer my corn to be salty. the sweetness was weird.

this lil girl was so pretty
she was of mixed race

one of the best halloween ever.
after the halloween at night safari sg last year, that is

woke up to the sound of techno. had a morning flight

waiting for our cab to the airporti bought a new suitcase and we had baggage way over the limit.my shoulders were aching for having to carry them on flight. i always check in all my bagsimpulsive purchases, really

still, i somehow managed to shop even at duty free. went crazy at the bobbi brown counter

photo of the end of the trip
check out the guy behind us

2010-09-04T08:48:00.004+08:00

things get so out of hand
that it seems almost impossible to stay calm

but i guess that's just part of the deal

i have learnt to appreciate
and forgive me for those hurtful words

bear in mind my feelings
that those reassurances are not necessary

missing you much

2010-08-28T18:30:00.006+08:00

As I grow in age, men would value us older women most of all. Here are just a few reasons why.

I will never wake my man in the middle of the night to ask, “What are you thinking?” I don’t care what he thinks.

I know myself well enough to be assured in who I am, what I am, what I want and from whom.

I would be more dignified. I would seldom have a screaming match with him at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if he deserves it, I won’t hesitate to shoot him if I can get away with it.

I would have the self-assurance to introduce him to my girl friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn’t trust the guy with other women. I couldn’t care less.

I get psychic as I age. He never has to confess his sins to me. I will know.

Once I get past a wrinkle or two, I am still far more sexier than my younger counterpart. My experience of lovemaking is honed and reciprocal and I've lived long enough to know how to please a man in ways my daughter could never dream of. (Young men, you have something to look forward to.)

Older women are forthright and honest. I’ll tell him right off if he's a jerk when he's acting like one.

Yes, I praise older women for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coifed babe of 50, there is a bald, paunchy relic in plain pants making a fool of himself with some 22 year old waitress.

for all my girls.
and we're not that old.. yet...

i thought bran looked quite cool about the truth last night in front of my girl friends.
the way he said our relationship was not perfect and how both had a lot to deal with

i'd say to stay with someone who can handle your bitch fits.
he has admitted to difficulties and would run off with some rich babe if it would mean to secure his future.

er.. well. i cant guarantee a fat pocket but i guess men do have expectations.

i think in this present time, i would just expect my man to be there for me when i need him.
to call and let me know that he was thinking of me.
to greet me with a hug after work
a grand meal at some posh place is just some plus point for a happy ending but does not have to happen frequently, really.

i hate how special events can be overpriced.
like when i was a florist and i was overcharging romeos on valentine day.
but it would be nice to hang out together on such days even if it means to lay the mat on the the green and have some home made sandwiches.

i know for many years, i've been told to be understanding that due to the nature of your job, you would have to be activated for duty.
but is a call so difficult to make?
i've been spending valentine's, christmas, new year by myself for years

that's the thing about men.
after years, they think that they dont have to put in as much effort as the last to keep the flame burning strong.

but dont get me wrong.
like said, being in a relationship is fun.
you'd realise how horrible your partner can get and how sweet he can be at times too

he'll take care of you when you're unwell and having a man to tend to you is totally different from getting the medical attention from your mum
it's really touching and you get well faster too.

anyway, i am so envious

what do i gotta do to have them?

alot of botox!

sigh.. how miserable

i'll take care of you
i promise

sorry

2010-08-24T22:41:00.002+08:00

they make sorry sound so harmless.

it is one of the hardest word to say
and if i do say it, it really means i wanna get over such unhappiness

i'm human and we all make mistakes
just gotta deal and make the best out of it

i'm one that might just walk away
take a breather, calm the mind before acting rash in the heat of anger
sometimes i do push the people i love
but i very much prefer you to stay put

prik thai

2010-08-22T01:48:00.002+08:00

the ending, a lil abrupt and exxagerating
but it's sad

how did the song get stuck to my head?
you wouldnt believe it but bran was singing the song too perfectly that i thought he was seeing some thai chick.

i just like how her song actually has a story to it.

anyway, i'm up with the minutes in hand.
this minutes will take just one weekend of every month
it is called a sacrifice but just once a month so ppl, pls understand why i turn down your invites on some weekend cause i really have to work from home.

i strike off heading to the beach cause apparently ppl say i look indian
not that i have anything against them but i'm beginning to doubt the once likeable skin color i have.

sigh..

cash deposit machine jam

2010-08-21T01:11:00.000+08:00

oh great!

the cash deposit machine went bonkers on me.
how lucky.

now i have to wait till monday to get them cash out of the machine and deposit it into my account.
well, at least the officer on line was friendly and kept me calm on the whole matter.

it's been a long time since we had an office dinner
and a good one especially with adeline in high spirits

an unplanned last min dinner while ben was driving us home
looked at bran on my right and then bro on my left
asked adeline if she was keen and ben swerved to the left

there we were at the table waiting for the feast
and it was her treat! i love fridays
though i am now stuck with the minutes.

got this really cool effect on my iphone
martin was showing off the iphone 4

bran's got his name pen down at singtel and i'm anxiously waiting for the release of the version in white
did they consider manufacturing them in pink?

carnivore

2010-08-19T20:21:00.002+08:00

met martin at chijmes
and we had our fill at carnivore

brazilian churrasco
it was actually a very fun place for dinner
the passadors came non-stop to our tables, skewing all types of meat onto our plates

i would have had the camera snapping but i wasnt really in the mood to show off the singaporean girly spirit; taking pictures of every single detail.

www.carnivore.com.sg

had a round at hog's breath
it was just really nice to be with martin again.
he's one happy irish lad

and bran could fit in comfortably

martin suggested another night out next wed
and guess what, i'm totally bringing him up on the stage of boiler room. ;)
i'll take pictures
he's so not coming back to singapore to visit me...

i promise to visit the hayes in ireland and that's booked for the next year.
storing my annual leave and starting a globe trotting fund
please donate!

lol

had rochor you char kway; midnight snack
never fails to give a good night sleep after

how's the fasting month working out for you?
my mum's constantly stuffing me with great home cooked meals
and bran doubles my usual intake to make up for the lost
tsk tsk...

i'm already digging into the cookie jars
i love pineapple tarts!

my body, a vessel
my heart, your pain

wake up

2010-08-17T23:15:00.002+08:00

'how to make an ugly girl beautiful'
got a flask for bran from one them sprees online

said, "i dont need one cause you're gorgeous"

found it cheesy but it made me smile

some memories i found while clearing the picture folder

s**t, i guess i did put on
sigh..
this sucks

anyway, met up with bhav and i swear she has shrunk a lot more than the last.
we went on for hours.
guess that's how long we havent met
and yes, i have plans to see her next.
it's only fair.

wanna know her secret?

it's all hard work, babes!
that sexy figure means alot of exercises and diet
she's happy and i was all laughs after she told me she gets free coffee at starbucks now. lol
shopping with her is gonna be all fun now and i cant wait!

i dont wanna make you cry no more

why

2010-08-16T19:06:00.005+08:00

we used to have arguments that tend to get heated too easily.
the things you do and say scares me sometimes, it hurts
i dont mind read and you got me all confused.

i get up every morning with bed hair
love it when i see you within reach
i wish time stood still while i pull myself closer into your arms

life relationships is not like those happily ever after fairytale
when will my prince come..

i'm losing faith

your unhappiness makes you poor

after

2010-08-07T22:46:00.000+08:00

i'm not one for planning but i really cant wait to go back home.
i know, i have alot of homes.

we went head on because of this matter.
oh how we hated each other
took a day to cool off the heat

Cruel Love;
they say there is nothing else you could wish for as long as you are in love.
but people tend to expect alot from those they love.
they say pride does not matter when you are in love,
but many break up because their self-esteem got hurt.
love was bestowed upon us as the biggest punishment for greed.

sometimes i wonder if i have done something so much as to regret till this very day
if i have hurt you in any way, please forgive me

i am a coward
i dont express myself well

i have my disappointments
and i throw my tantrums easily

but the key to cool off this hothead;
a hug
and the words, 'i love you'
it drops the temperature almost instantly
and i swear you get this perfect girl in front of you

works in almost every situation
tried and tested

i have to get breakfast for bran tomorrow.
i dunno but i think i'll make a great partner

i just need to learn how to cook
i know the basics not unlike before
i'm talking about beef rendang, chilli crab and really good chicken curry.
using fresh ingredients. instant is no kick.

bran doesnt like cooking but he swipes whatever i cook.
i take it that it tastes good which i am confident it does ok!

oh yeah, bto is up for two areas in the west.
just a gentle reminder.
i decided to skip this round of selection.
a lil too inconvenient an area

and, work has gone on a bright side
all thanks to proper guidance
first paper set to schedule in june 2011
it will be a struggle but i look forward to the favourable outcome.
decided not to take up the sponsorship

let her know how you feel
before it's too late.
whatever you do, please dont regret

travel

2010-08-05T23:49:00.003+08:00

the reason why i very much prefer to travel on my own is because there will be no compromise.
i can choose to do anything or go anywhere without anyone's permission.
all in all, i am practically free
though i'll just kick myself if anything goes wrong or maybe blame the cabbie for taking the longer route.

but things worked out well after a tornado of emotions
we've set on the dates, submitted the forms, applied for leave..
so now we wait and fill up the shopping fund till the time arrives

i tore my ligament
got 2 days mc to have it rest and massaged.
bran just gave a painful reflexology
and i think the bandage is a lil too tight.

limp to work now cause i chucked the mc in my drawer and decided to be stubborn

2010-08-01T00:05:00.004+08:00

swell

learn to appreciate
before it's too late

the film left me with puffy eyes
i'm not one for romance
but this would really be worth your time

do you really think time will always be by your side?
what if she leaves and never come back?

it's your choice
______________________________________________________________

i attended a bobbi brown girls' out party friday night
the gorgeous, wine and champagne
and not forgetting the wonderful treats from bakerzin that made me skip dinner

make-up sure does wonders
the guys wont get it
but i know for sure how it is one good confidence booster

i believe in presentation
i dont want ppl to remember me as the weary looking girl
well, not when i am still of age

plus i am not a natural beauty
i battle with skin problems since i was 15 and unfortunately still counting

anyway, ms renae (http://www.renae-paul.com/) was up that night sharing with us on metaphysics learning.
numerology; your number and romance

basically, i would be able to find out if i am with my perfect match.
the numbers obtained from a calculation of my date of birth can also say alot about myself.

according to the calculation, i found out that my life path number is 4

Your Life-Path number is probably the most influential numerological aspect to be considered. This number is determined by your birth date and represents who you are at this time. It indicates specific traits that are present and will likely be active and influential throughout your lifetime. It is the overall number that determines much of what will be important to you and how you will handle things as they come.

If your Life-Path number is FOUR, it’s good to recognize that it’s strongly connected to the element of Earth from which it gains its strength and profound sense of reality. FOUR’S can be seen as the cornerstones of our society with their innate sense of dedication, hardworking ethics and standards of excellence.

Those with a FOUR Life-Path are generally the most trustworthy, practical and down-to-earth people there are. Organization and planning will come easily. Once a FOUR sets their mind to something, hell will freeze over before they leave it unfinished. Key qualities for a FOUR Life-Path number are order, service, steady growth, a foundation and struggle against limits.

It is common for others to misunderstand a FOUR - especially when it comes to your tenacity. A FOUR can have the kind of willpower that is limitless. At times, you can appear obsessive and unyielding - even when you’re wrong. While a FOUR makes an excellent business partner, friendships are another story. These will likely be limited, however, once formed you will be a loyal and dedicated friend for life. People know they can depend on you once you’ve made a commitment to them in both your work and personal life.

FOURS will thrive in environments where patience and perseverance are key. It can be important though, to keep the bigger picture in mind. Missed opportunities may occur if you’re too focused on the details of something.

The life purpose for a FOUR is often to learn how to take orders and to carry them out with the same dedication they would if the direction came from themselves. Head strong and set in their ways, FOURS can have difficulty if they don’t agree with superiors.

Because of the FOUR’S dogmatic approach to most everything, challenges can develop. Emotional repression, misunderstanding with others, intolerance for superficial people and a lack of tact can all create trouble for the FOUR. A healthy balance between work and play may go a long ways to alleviating such situations.

PRETTY TRUE!
i have to admit that i am very inclined to the negative side though
the report is an interpretation to provide insight and guidance
so hopefully i may achieve a balance in due time
and i will start by not being blunt.
my mind tends to speak without thought...

as for the romance report;
The compatibility of a person with another is based on his birth number.
There are certain numbers, which are compatible and match ideally with some numbers. These numbers are classified as natural match, compatible, neutral and challenge number.

my perfect, natural match are of life path numbers 2, 4 and 8.
brandon has a destiny number of 6
but we were identified as a compatible match.

according to ms renae, compatible number are numbers in Numerology that I can get along with, but I may have to explain my actions to each other from time to time. A compatible number will enjoy my company, and be willing to work things out if the relationship goes off track.

jeez...

Four and Six reads: A good match. Comfortable and stable. Don't be stingy with your affection!

double jeez...

it's never easy for me to express matters of the heart

the brackets broke.
got my braces fixed
now my mouth hurts hell

last

2010-07-28T23:51:00.002+08:00

just got home and thought i'd take some time to pen some stuffs down.

had a couple at deli with tris
probably the last until a very long time.

we went on about how time flew and how deli was a fav especially during the new year.
great chill out venue
hands down with good company
i still wish things werent too complicated

yeap, we miss you kid!

and no, we are not drunk
well, at least i am not

geez, i feel bloated
got a morning meeting tmr
havent done with the month's minutes
and my bro is on with the turntable

we have a dj in the house now
his new toy.

glad it dont sound all that bad.

eurgh..
i'm calling it a night
got the alarm set at 0530hrs.
i know..
it's crazy
someone used to tell me that too.

really appreciate the friendship we had
you will always be miss world

tough

2010-07-26T21:56:00.007+08:00

sometimes i think i might be pushing too hard
i never try to understand

i have a friend, a really gorgeous friend.
she never had a boyfriend
so i said, "it's impossible for you to be single"
"maybe there's something wrong with me" she sighed

there's nothing wrong with her!?
she's tall, slim, loud and funny like beyonce.

she's with someone this year. like finally..
came in as a shocker but i say, that guy is one lucky chap.
a brave one too.

the rose is taken.
too bad for all you guys out there who's just been oogling at her from a distance.
why dont guys just come forth and express the attractions they have?
the girls are doing the favour now.
just like how bran was approached by this random girl while out shopping.
unreal...

nope bran, that's not suppose to indirectly hint that i should better appreciate your presence. (-_-)"

spent the weekend at raz's engagement gathering and we had a good two hours of chitty chat
why do you have to reserve the girl?!

no way will i get reserved.
firstly, it is a waste of money.
secondly, it is so stressful!
and lastly; there is no way i am gg out of options. lol

well, maybe in time to come.
quoting what my boss once said to me;
"you're not getting any younger"

which is why, i am investing on myself.
i always wanted to be a hot mama.

like victoria beckham

oh darn it, i wish i was her.

well, at least the part where she has beckham. ;)

__________________________________________________________________

i never really believe in these horoscope readings or whatnot but sometimes, they just trigger something so true.
a friend sent to me the compatibility between a Sagittarius woman and Taurus man.

When Taurus and Sagittarius form a friendship, they both need to give each other time to learn about the energy of the friendship. Both friends have a great deal to gain from knowing each other! While Sagittarius thrives on variety and novelty, Taurus is often content with security and tradition. Early in their association, Taurus may want more than Sagittarius is ready to give, but if Taurus is willing to be patient, Sagittarius will learn to appreciate the comforts of their friendship. Taurus and Sagittarius have different approaches to life; Taurus is more sedate and practical, and Sagittarius is the restless explorer. It can be hard for Sagittarius to accept the down-to-earth, fixed approach of Taurus. It might be difficult for Taurus to accept the Sagittarius restlessness. Taurus can offer Sagittarius a secure base and keep them on track with their dreams and ambitions. Sagittarius can help Taurus add variety and fun, bringing new stimulation into each day.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. Venus is about love, beauty and luxury. Jupiter is philosophy, higher learning, expansion, optimism, luck and travel. Together this combination of beauty and expansion, masculine and feminine energy is why they admire and sustain one another.

Taurus is an Earth Sign, and Sagittarius is a Fire Sign. Sagittarius wants space to move, while Taurus wishes for security and stability. Sagittarius initiates projects from pure feeling and impulse, while Taurus is more practical. Although each of these friends may find it difficult to understand where the other is coming from, when they work together they make an excellent team because of their complementary approaches. They will not always be in accordance about every issue. As long as they reassure each other that the friendship is important to both of them, their conflicts can usually be resolved.

Taurus is a Fixed Sign, and Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign. Taurus tends to be down-to-earth and focused on one project at a time, Sagittarius likes variety, and thus has different motivations. Sagittarius likes to move from project to project as the feeling takes them. If Sagittarius sees the benefit of Taurus’ undertakings, then they will be more than willing to participate. In turn, Taurus needs to give Sagittarius the freedom to enjoy other things, too. Taurus can help Sagittarius realize their ideas and visions — even if Sagittarius has moved on; Sagittarius can show Taurus that flexibility is sometimes better than a set path and a Fixed determination. The best aspect of the Taurus-Sagittarius friendship is the new perspective they can give each other once each friend becomes familiar with the other’s differences. They make a wonderful team once they open themselves to each other. As long as they communicate with one another and appreciate their differences, theirs will be a stable and happy friendship.

i dont think i have achieved that in the 10 years i have known bran.
but one thing's for sure, he is very very patient.
i have to finally agree with bran that no one can ever take my temper
it's sad cause i'm really nice and fun to be with even though at times, you'd wish i shut up.

oh well.

anyway, we had a chance at taste paradise.
they serve prawns as pickles!

food and service were just perfect.
book in advance and get your tables near the windows.

but bran thinks nothing beats shutters.
it's his fav rest.
i guess it's cause it's never crowded.
and they serve crab with all the meat in its head.
no need for a fight with the pincers

bran's on flight now. away..
we finally expressed some concern
which is healthy

all the rave on this hot seller.

i had a sniff at it while walking pass one of them roadshow and it made me dreamy...
now i have it, thanks to bran =)

the pair is gonna cost me a few hundred or a thousand maybe
the one that got him bragging non-stop since leaving the Dior boutique

he deserves it

i know that spending time together hasnt been easily achievable like before
he knows my temper and i made the past months emotionally unbearable for any.

said he would give me anything just to see me happy
even if it means to be away

but it hasnt been easy and i understand how it feels

minutes

2010-07-11T23:03:00.002+08:00

i'm stuck here
instead of having a nice afternoon playing guitar heroes.
of which, i am so sorry. i really have to finish my work
but i promise to go for raz's engagement.

so i will see you girls there.
happy bday nad. i hope you had a blast.

anyway, i'm not even 50% done with my work and that means i cant watch the finals too.
how depressing.

and no one is staying up with me.
not even bran
said he rather sleep

well, at least my mum is nice enough to have cut some strawberries for me

sianz..

i wish someone would do it for me
or at least accompany me.

there used to be someone so sweet
well, used to...

looking forward to what ben got for me
he's back from overseas and i did say i like that tre'sor in love parfum.

i know i havent been myself lately
i dunno how you deal with it but you're doing great
the bond was short but strong
so time will tell when the likes of it disappears

hold on to it if you must and if it's meant to be,
it'll be yours forever.

work

2010-07-06T21:13:00.003+08:00

work's never a bore
the lil squabbles turn nasty
comments which just cracks me up nuts

anyway, i have cuts in mouth
they say i get agitated too easily
so they call me

jaws

(-_-)"

i dunno if i should bawl alongside or just burn in fury

wahahahahahahahah!!

it's too funny to get angry with, really

i was reminded about F1
the uniform dont fit good!
2 more months

korean bbq

2010-07-05T21:26:00.011+08:00

7/8 of my wardrobe is black.
black widow is my nick at work.
works well with the temper too

finally had korean bbq at bukit timah

they give this six must haves
it's like side dish
not a very big fan of kimchi

and surprisingly those thin flat metal chopsticks are easier to use =)

bul go gi is heaven
i love meat

wrap it with veg
and

stuff it in your mouth

deok bok ki came in a huge portion.

i'm glad every action to come to this day was no waste

lomo

lomo
love the photography apps available

watched 'the road' and have been on the phone since morning.

vien's bday party today and i've been trying to get everything together.
the plan is to go, get stuff settled and leave.
probably a drink just to say hi at most

not a good idea to get wasted when you're alone.
makes you look too emotional.

2010-06-23T19:00:00.001+08:00

"he dont make me happy"

why?
are you surprised?

the fact that i am happy does not depend on him
i make the choice to be happy in every moment of my life.

divorce the only solution?
it is just the easiest way, if you ask me.
but if it makes you happy

to truly love is difficult
cause it means to forgive unconditionally, to like, to take the experiences or circumstances as they are, facing them together...

honestly, i could never do that
he is one who has truly loved and it hurts to know how much damage was inflicted

whether out of pity or guilt, i would forever be in debt
a symbol represents; in memory of your undying love.

then they ask, about the honeymoon

there was never a rebound
it was the sweetest, most innocent experience of my life
of course, there was the squabbles but it just made everything special

i have a temper, dont i?
i am grateful
to all who have tolerated this spoilt lil brat

my colleagues have noticed the seemingly active volcano turned dormant
i guess there will come a time for all to tone down and learn how to relax

looking forward to the spa session yih shy sponsored

the thing i like about having girlfriends
they really know how to make you happy

i have to stay late.
at work.

sneeze

2010-06-22T05:04:00.002+08:00

i'm up early.
woke up looking for my cell
which, by the way, fell under my bed

was downloading the time traveller's wife

if i had a choice to turn back time,
i would never change a thing.
i have no regrets
count yourself unlucky to have met me, instead

i ask myself everyday.
is this what i need or want?
used that phrase in every decision making

i have to stop beating myself

everything i ever need, i have
but i want more

am i being greedy?
is it all right?

this is why i am living in unhappiness

cause

you cant always have what you want

snow dropped me a msg to invite me for a spa session and i'm so glad i went.
like she said, there's nothing to lose. it was on her.

went to *(Body Contours)* at Royal Building, Raffles.

i love the grape mask. it smelled like bubblegum!

next up, she's bringing me to true fitness.
about time, i go for a proper gym session...

the bulge exists and it's always on the same thing every month.
period.
i know.
i'm in denial

yours truly

gg grocery shopping with my lil bro and meeting yj for a jog later evening

shoes

2010-06-01T17:43:00.007+08:00

i can only pick one...

(-_-)"

kichi

2010-05-30T01:06:00.015+08:00

guess who she's oogling at now?

well, actually it wasnt just now but ever since i watch Ma Yoo Hee last year. he's a stud and only 29! jeez.. probably one of the reason why i have loads of korean dvds

currently watching east of eden
the best thing to do when you have so much time is to have a gd show full of good looking ppl. lol but this show is killing me. 56 episodes with an episode clocking in a lil over one hour of my night. *i watch at least 5 episodes whenever i decide to be a room dweller*
i would slap a mask while watching but no point really. cause you'll end up crying
they're so good at making you emotional. if you think you sacrifice alot, please do me a favour. shove korean dvds into your player.

you'll realise that your life aint that bad

awww... he's such an eye candy.
i understand why tris goes nuts over koreans. she's already shared with me a few other shows when i'm barely done with the current.

how can you love someone who doesnt have feelings for you?
can you live with the fact that she thinks of someone else other than you?

spent the weekend starting with a steamboat buffet at Kichi Kichi
adeline brought me to the first express rotary hotpot

you choose your soup, pick the ingredients from the belt and start cooking.
i'm not a big fan of cooking my dinner but this was an experience

me and adeline probably swipe 50 plates at the very least. we were chomping for hours
try the mushroom for a start or sze chuan soup if you're into spicy

we even had chocolate fondue for desert. i was so stuffed when i left. they will be opening an outlet at taka of which, we have already decided to be at the opening week.

the restaurant manager is our dear friend plus the general manager is young. ;) lol
well, adeline just pointed him out from far and commented that he was young.

all aside, we locals have our own fair share of hotties like...
.
.
.
my brother! :p
ok that was just too random. i found the pic in my phone

anyway, you have to go watch prince of persia. i didnt sleep through it. =)

it's after 2 am and i have to meet fang later for dinner
i know there's still time but
i have to jog and finish my report before settling for that nice dinner
just bought another pair of boots and a new jacket.

that reminds me, i need to make payments for my impulse purchases

give me the strength
to go on...

him

2010-05-28T19:00:00.001+08:00

i dont know how you can live in self-denial

i cant keep up with this act so please dont make me feel akward
i will cut you off if need be.

2010-05-27T09:28:00.003+08:00

i had my tresses tamed at *(Phyto Hair Salon)*

'Losing about 50 strands of hair a day is part of the regular functioning and life cycle of the scalp. Beyond that, hair loss is considered excessive and requires treatment. PHYTO has formulated the best-selling and award winning range to treat women's hair loss with 85% success'

Kelvin, the only male hairstylist in the Wheelock outlet, helped me create a warm dark chestnut colour and had this ampoule massaged onto my scalp so that i wont get that stingy feeling when the colouring agent gets to the scalp. the experience of not having to go through that sensitive feeling was just delightful.

i remember feeling all upset some two years back cause of hairloss but got it all treated at *(Trichokare)*
Now i just hop from salon to salon.
I dont really have a favourite cause they're all the same, just their services

as soon as you identify excessive hair loss, please please get them treated.
wash your hair regularly and change your shampoo to suit your hair needs. never stick to one.
the key is to massage your scalp so as to promote hair growth
have your scalp check at least every 6 months and treat your hair to a spa every 6 weeks.

i'm not spoilt, just being girly
i had 6 inches trimmed off and my hair is still long.
i had no idea how long it was until now
at least it dont look like hay after the cut; dry and frizzy ends away

as for hair removal, i do my waxing at an indian salon.
like what dips once said, "we have so much hair that only our people knows best on how to get rid of them"

lol

i really like *(Rupinis)*
but stopped visiting cause it was always way too crowded and settled down at a salon near home
however, rupinis just opened another outlet at central and i'm loving it cause it's so exclusive and close to work. no more waiting time and more personalised service

gonna bring yih shy over for a bollywood baby. =)

anyway, here's what you should do this long weekend.
splurge on designer!
Gucci, Coach, Kate Spade & Marc by Marc Jacobs on sale, brought to you by Haute Avenue!

Date: 29 May 2010
Time: 9am - 8pm
Venue: Shenton Room @ M Hotel, 81 Anson Road

* Cash & Nets only. Only small purses allowed into sales venue.

i have that tiny F1 uniform displayed and three months to fit in it

stop

2010-05-24T23:38:00.003+08:00

i wish you will stop harping
about how pathetic your life is

i like how things have turned out
so live with it, please.

dr lee just made my day
even if it means to wait a month
i'm leaving the face to her hands

let the wonders of science show itself

getting used to the discomfort and i cant wait to see dr tang
my life revolves around doctors now.
i fell in love with them =)

met up with yih shy and she was an angel
supporting my every choice
and openly praying for my day to turn out perfect

i hate it when ppl feel sad for me
pls text me with the phrase, 'I MISS YOU, BABE!'
and then start troubling me with your boy girl problems
cause you know how good an advisor i am ;)

took a day off this week.
had the sniffles but all's better now
gonna hit the salon and have girly time
new hair, a massage and movie dates please!!!

xoxo

fever

2010-05-20T07:34:00.003+08:00

having a fever now.
sitting, thinking if i should take that slip or just ignore it and head behind the monitor

stuff myself with cakes. i believe it is the cause of my irritated throat
once the gap closes in, i wan a big juicy steak.

the frozen heart will melt and throb once again
just give it some time please

...it wont be easy...

2010-05-18T21:51:00.002+08:00

maybe all i needed was a lil spa session.

hopefully we can watch both shrek 3 and prince of persia

got a day's off to clear by this month.

i just prefer it that way

birthday girls

2010-05-16T22:36:00.008+08:00

i used to live the life wanting to be happy all day everyday.
now whatever that makes you feel at ease, i'll sacrifice that happiness i yearn

someone pls remind me why i'm going through the pain.

perfection, syah.
perfection.

turn the lights off
hold me close and never let go

quits

2010-05-14T12:58:00.003+08:00

not ready to call it quits

one last shot.
sitting back to watch my life run on its own

the flower's dead, just painted red

if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

got a cut on my upper lip. :(

my diet for the past week;
breakfast: cakes
lunch: ice cream
dinner: porridge
everyday......

i still stuff myself with pringles despite the pain.
my upper jaw is so tender now. hurts so bad

ben reckons that i will turn rollie ollie pollie

cant make that come true so every weekend, i will go for jogs and swims.
sorry dips. no botak jones, no beach dates but i promise to crash and have girly time with you.

might be sent for studies.
i hate school but thank god for career, i will always have something to look forward to.

2010-05-11T15:37:00.002+08:00

2010-05-03T14:26:00.002+08:00

why must everything end on a bad note?

i'll know who appreciates me more
and when that time comes, i hope it stays that way.

what i need

2010-04-04T22:20:00.004+08:00

treat her like a queen

shower her with all the love
one day he will take her away and you'll blame no one but yourself

for forgetting to say good night.
for not sharing how much you miss her.

why won't you speak up?
i don't understand and i will give up
the doors were open but you chose to turn away

she seeks for that sanctuary
where she feels at ease

it was an awesome film despite the absurd ratings some blind critics gave.
and you gotta admit
megan fox is totally hot

she's 23 and she thinks she scares men.
some girls just don't have to try hard

word is she might be the next Wonderwoman

a true wonder

anyway, we rushed off to the club for vivien and kang wei's bday party and i must say, the boys have truly enjoyed themselves.
they were extremely gay.

i can't believe joanne was there as we groove to the tracks of michael jackson.
rest in peace

it's tough going on public but we believe the wait will be worth.

since we dont ride, we took the opportunity to have a few drinks at fang's.

fang got me loots from my want list and they were loves!
so are you, fang!!!
really appreciate your help.

even desmond, her husband got bran something and it's so kawaii.
hearted print boxers.
bran's a lil shy but he adores it. heee...

anyway, after dinner with the Swiss Sweets, we went out with the couple to watch Terminator Salvation.
it's been a long time since we watched a midnight movie and boy, is our age taking its toll.
we were all so sleepy but the show was too intense,
we barely winked.
One of bran's fav actor, Christian who also starred in 'Batman'

we have another movie date with fang and desmond.
cant wait.
i just still cant believe desmond prioritize a one year old kid cake cutting for our meet up.
lying to him on the movie time was no sin. wahahaha!!

i know the studded heels are way cool.
i love it too.
i'm clearing out my shoe wardrobe for a new collection so watch out for them.

my eyes are super swollen now.
we just watch the last episode of 'A Litre of Tears'
i look a disaster

2009-05-23T09:24:00.005+08:00

forever 21 tunic, osmose jeans jacket, forever 21 zipper leggings, gladiator heels, christian dior saddle, faceted bracelets

that's the last of the black gladiators.
the glue wore out and the heels would just give way anytime.
being the typical singaporean, i'm glad i bought two pairs at that time.
gonna start abusing the new brown gladiators now.

i remember how i started loving the good ol' samaritan shops in Australia.
it's where i got the osmose jeans jacket for AU$1.
i hope glads would be able to find bomber jackets for me and bran while she's there.

Juliet's Extravagant will be having a sale soon so best look out for the bargains
i bought the heels online and they didnt fit me well.
on top of that two of my fav heels gave way.
so bran gave me $500 to get myself a pair of heels.
criteria: it has to be a good and comfortable pair.
i think there's a catch to this kind action.
i'm still wondering why he's being so nice. hmmmm....

bran love

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA

she's half a century!!!

last year, i got her a coach
and she didnt really fancy it, sadly.
so this year, we decided to let her choose her bday gift

when she said she wanted a watch, i was super relieved.
hahaha!!!
but still when we got to the ?Guess boutique, she picked out a super fancy gold diamond rimmed GG.
headache, i tell you.

then i remembered how someday never came for some people.
dont wait for that someday.
if she wants it, give it before it's too late.

like why we save every drop of that Gucci parfum?
what if one day you never get to use it?

so don't scrimp and save for that someday.
live life to the fullest.

we had lunch/dinner at Earle Swensen's
Went shopping for her watch which was below my budgeted $500.
she even bought a chanel inspired quilted bag from Topshop. =)

and i found the stud boots at ZARA but they didnt have my size!?
if only they had them cause bran said he will get them for me if we cld find 'em.
it was a whooping $300. aldo didnt have it either.
which is a good thing cause i have no clue what to get him for his bday next week

oh well...
i did find the key necklace on my want list.
got this cutie from F21
loves~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAK

The Birthday Girl

She was all dressed up to go out when we were waiting outside.
all dolled up and ready to party, she was invited back in to her house for the bash.

hmmmm..
it was mango cake.
MANGo0o0o0o0o0o~
tsk...
if i get mango cake as my bday cake, i'll forcefully stuff it down your throat.
just to make sure it slides down.... smoothly~
lol!

the karaoke session was not too fantastic.
fana was shy.
totally not herself.
loud, mean teacher saying she's shy~
very contradicting, aye...

we had fun,
it was a successful surprise
yes fanana, cover them.
tsk...

it's huge la!
not jealous, just the temptation to burst and deflate 'em.
wyd, that picture is just so wrong ah.
o_0"

now i think
what to do for bran

shopping lists

2009-04-30T02:09:00.002+08:00

it costs me $10!!
heee...

i also found a black jewel bracelet and pyramid faceted bangle at far east which were at 2 for $10!
there was my black leggings which was also at $10 and cause you once said how 'too skinny' my legs were when i wear leggings,
i fatten them up with the ASOS leg warmers i just bought online.

ASOS leg warmers
super warm, these cuties.

everything except the bag and shoes were at $10 each.
the beauty of a great bargain.

anyway i hear my dear friends are going to bangkok.

asos orders

2009-04-26T12:37:00.002+08:00

my ASOS orders are in! i wanted the high waisted shorts real bad but it went oos.
that aside, i really appreciate carol's help in getting asos for me.
shipping is a killer, that's for sure but sometimes a bargain comes in your way =)

some of my impulse purchases

Stud and Chain Detail Belt.
i figure it will still be in its packaging until i really need it. =)

and this metal plaited bracelet is a beau but way too big for me, sadly

bran chose this colorblock seam top and it's love! heee....
i dont know what's wrong with me and online shopping cause i buy too much, really.
that reminds me, i've sent some of you girls and email regarding Charlotte Russe and F21 orders.
they should arrive in a week or so

anyway, cause i was so happy with my loot, i brought bran out for japanese.
he paid for my asos despite the costs.
been pondering on what to do or get for his bday. sigh.....
any ideas?

HOW TO DEAL WITH JEALOUS CO WORKERS

Easy.

Ignore them (esp if they are not worth being friends with)
stupid pathetic fools.
i forgive all of them anyway.
i understand it is difficult cause they've played a huge role in your life but seriously you have to let it go.
otherwise you'll be a knucklehead just like them.

however, if IT is your boss, things may be a lil more different.
if they are smart, they would realise that despite your hard work and A+ work attitude, getting jealous is pointless.
the problem lies with them, knuckleheads.
but if they dont, realise, then YOU have to, sadly, smile and acknowledge their stupidity.
hang in there and take in the crap, really.

if it comes to the point where you cannot handle such lowlife, then quit.
what's the point of being there with the animals?
you're not hard up for the job, babe.
someone else, i guarantee, will appreciate your expertise.
dont stay there for the sake of some good colleagues.
they may be there for you but they cant always pat your back

in any case, just do your work and keep convo to a minimal.
been through it, done that and am pleased with the results.
i'm just real lucky.

i gotta browse through ASOS again.
need to send in my orders.
next time, darls..

From Thailand to Portugal! weeee!!!

oh, you get these analysis as members of the bloggers' community. cool, right? ;)

in addition, nuffnang has some really cool adverts which will appear on my left side of the blog screen as you scroll down towards 'Links'
They are now having travel promos and i'm so tempted to go back to OZ again!!

anyway, i found out that i have blog followers! love ya'all too!
apologies if i dont write everyday.
(P.S. click on the icon, 'Follow Blog' at the top of the page)

been tied down to work lately...

of which....

i almost consulted Dr. Stacie L. L. Morgan, a strategy consultant, international speaker, and author.

cause i will always be puzzled of why people get jealous???
but her notes were useful enough. need help to kick them out of my life though

DR. STACIE'S STRATEGIES
Balancing Tomorrow's Jealousy, Today - at Work

Admit jealous feelings and deal with your fear, so that you can avoid being jealous towards a co-worker
"Stop being a bloody coward and admit you're insecure, bitch"

Jealousy, unfortunately, hurts everyone on the job. It derails the person experiencing the jealousy, preventing them from realizing their own path and potential. Jealousy hurts and alienates those whom are its objects. And it can decimate job satisfaction, motivation, and productivity.
"Omg! I was alienated because of your mental disorder! Freak..."

Believe it or not, you feel jealous cause you're scared
"Idiot.. Scared of what?!"

For more information, send her an e-mail, stacie@balancedmanagement.com or visit her site, www.balancedmanagement.com
"I think you need serious help... so please.."

The most obvious jealous coworker can be easily identified, as he will single you out for competition in any and every endeavor you undertake. The more subtle enemy often waits for the opportune time to BADMOUTH you for every failure or mistake you may make; he is the most dangerous of the two.
-(AskMen.com)
"You should really know who you are .. unless you're the shameless type too"

awww~ i wanted to let you girls in on how to handle those bitches but the clock reads close to midnight and i need the rest.
next time, i promise..

hang in there ok!
dont give up unless you get an opportunity to achieve better prospects. ;)

first day of work =)

2009-04-20T11:38:00.005+08:00

vien got her curls turn straight.
sexy la. still want to makeover for what?
heee...

i like how she plays with colors
and yes i love my wedges

anyway, i'm getting my shopping list ready.
enjoy yourself while you're at it.
babe, you know the bangles i'm wearing.
i got them at 20 bahts the last time i was there.

send you the list of cheap hunts too

THE LOVES

i fell in love with this coach madison sabrina when i was out with my colleagues.
we were just walking pass the boutique on our way to the taxi stand after lunch
pheweet.. it was all loves. awww~

based on original sources, hayden was spotted with a new hairdo in California but what really caught my attention was her bag!
Sabrina from the Madison collection.
it's so pretty...

even Isla Fisher, star of the film, Confessions of a Shoppaholic, has her hands on the lovely piece

I almost got it when i was at the Coach boutique, Raffles City until Vien said it was just a-okay.
so i left it there on the shelves and walked away.
and it's a darn good thing i did so cause while we made our way to Marina Square, i saw an inspired piece by Charles & Keith.
It's the very piece i wanted a month ago!

They had it in all colors in the Citilink outlet, black white and tan.

Initially, i wanted the white but Joanne said it was too white.
it would have been a classic treasure if they had them in ivory but heck, i settle on the tan.
i couldnt wait for May, got it spot on and thanks to joanne who brought her member's card too =)
i saved $900 that day! weeee!!!

anyway while browsing through the web, i saw tons of celebs donning the look.
now tell me it wasnt silly.

will you go for it?

i don't really review the films i watch but since requested and for the fact that it was a truly remarkable piece

after fang and desmond left, we headed to Marina to catch a show.
this month's selection of movies were all good, from Knowing to Fast and Furious.
cause vien and kangwei had watched almost all, we were left with 'Taken'
they hesistated but decided to join me and bran for the Sunday night movie

and it's a good thing we all went ahead.

Liam Neeson who plays Bryan Mills, a seemingly overprotective father in the eyes of his daughter faces the worst 96 hours of his life. His daughter was kidnapped in broad daylight just moments after reaching her holiday destination, Paris. As a former government operative, a "preventor", his awareness of the possible dangers his daughter may faced turns to reality.

Kim Mills, his daughter, managed to call him before being taken away and with that last conversation he had with his daughter, the search begins.
He cleverly puts all the evidence into place and finds out that the unknown assailants were human trafficking young women travellers.

The nightmare begins as his search brings him into the underworld, closer to his daughter where innocent young women were drugged and forced to be slaves to the sexual desires.

The show puts you to the edge of your seat and i kept grabbing vien and bran's hands in fear of what will happen next.

his daughter was sold at 500 thousand euros but i wont tell you how the film ended.
go watch it!
it may seem a lil far-fetched but it's still a thumbs up =)

by the way, Liam Neeson is no noob.
he was given the honors to say, "May the force be with you"
sounds familiar?
yeap, he's the first person in Star Wars to say that infamous phrase ;)

The end of chapter one.
hee.. and i'm happy.
happy to have made super friends, i meant
there weren't many but it made a difference

Life in Singapore Polo Club.

Christmas Party

Gift Exchange

Launch of the Staff Lounge.

i think it was a good idea.
getting cooped up in the office for a while too long is just so unhealthy sometimes

Extraordinary General Meeting
yes, i had my back taken

Annual General Meeting

And my first, last event in SPC

SPC Family Day- Equestravaganza

With Aestee trying out Archery.
She's never doubted me since day one.
i love her to bits.
glad to have a neighbour, my primary school mate as the best colleague ever.
such a small world, really.

all pictures taken randomly, i tell you
but i did score a bullseye on my second try. hee...

oh cause bran left me some tickets he bought, we got dining vouchers.
so lucky =)

Vien came down and got a caricature for herself.

Joanne had one for herself too.
The one missing would be Li Fang. Tsk...

Shaf and boy came down too.
but i dont got any pictures of them.
Thanks for coming to the fair, ya'all

Swiss Sweets

And so, these were taken on the last few days of my service.
Time sure pass pretty fast
i know it seemed silly to leave but seriously, i cant stand emotional people.
i think they shd just lock themselves and seek forgiveness from the Great One.

i'm really not hard up for any of these.
i said i was gonna join SAFRA but it all seemed a lil blur to me at that time.
of which, those interested in accounting, please let me know.
i'll pull you in cause the FM is super nice though i have not had a chance to work with her.
so sorry to have pulled out in such a short notice.

anyway, here they are

my Finance Department
like i said, so much has happened.
we probably started out wrong but if in the end, all's good,
that's all that matters
thank you for the farewell gift =)

Shim and Iliza

the most patient of all.
i respect this lady.
may you be blessed with everything sweet and nice and pretty =)

i missed auntie Ann by a teeny bit.
and Harjit too.
They make me smile without fail.
even when i've had the worst days.
i always go back smiling, laughing sometimes
such carefree life
why brood over the ugly and mean?

harris has an issue.
of the tens of photos he took for us, these were the only two visible.

i was suppose to meet the GM before i went back so i gave him a call and lucky me, he was still in the premises.
he was my pillar of strength, made me patient and even comfort me when i totally lost it.
always telling me that if it was not an issue to him , why shd i fret about it?

he's a great listener, you gotta agree.
you could go in and talk to him about almost everything.
yes, i told him about the people who've caused me such misery but at the end of the day, just forget about it.
sometimes, it's best to keep quiet cause the one who makes most noise is slapping oneself in their own face.
the matter will just die down cause it's not even an issue to begin with.

i'm still young and i can afford to fly to a much greener place.
please be nice for once in your life. i promise god will save you from the devil.

every office will have their own witch, mostly stupidly sly
it's just how you can handle the days
overall, i like it =)

spent my day with the lil one

and the evening with Fanana

we went to Haji Lane and found some really nice nifty stores =)

fanana did it again!
she asked for a TALL and the lady gave her 1 litre of mineral water!
hahaha!!
super darn funny!
we had hummus and the beef wrap.
all other turkish food seemed too funny, almost inedible at the thought of it. lol!

we were talking about work and future plans.
bran and i got a letter from HDB for a chance to choose our home. =)
so my new job would be good.
at least give us a higher chance. no guarantee though. it's all luck. and we're lucky to get to stage two for now

told fanana to get hitched soon
she probably has someone in mind.
it must be the teacher who gave her a lil something on friendship day
o0o0o0o~

okok, i wont embarrass her no more.
but i'll give you a picture of how he looks like

SCROLL DOWN

okok, i was kidding, fanana

march bday

2009-04-11T22:14:00.001+08:00

so much to do in such a short time.
last month was spent celebrating the two ladies' birthday.

fang had a birthday bash at chevrons and the theme was like said before, pyjamas!
i went in really late, almost midnight cause i was caught up at work.
and it had to pour, so i had a lil rest before heading down and went in the most comfortable clothes ever.

the winner of the best dressed was joanne.
she was all moo.
from her pjs, to her bag and her slippers.
she even had her nails painted moo!

WINNER!

i didnt really have a theme but i sure did go as warm and cuddly.
the weather worked well with my outfit too.
i had my von dutch winter jacket and uggs i got from australia.

Uggs are not UGG-ly
they're the sweetest creation ever.

vanessa has them in a darker shade than mine
and i had them in cowboy style

it's love at first sight when i moved to OZ for a year.
made of sheep skin, it sure keeps you warm.
i may like the color pink but thank god, i'm not all crazy about pink uggs.
they're a killa for my wallet.

bran thinks they look funny.
i never really wear them out ever since i got back to sg cause it's just not fashion in sg.
more like silly to don them.

but if you like ticking those douche bags who think your fashion is just wrong, wear them with shorts or a mini.
work it, girl!

check out www.igotuggs.com to understand the beauty of these sweet creations
she'll teach you how to identify the fakes too if you're into brands.

besides, i think it could be a hit sometime soon cause vien told me that they're selling it in cotton on body.
*crosses finger*
cause then i can wear them out without bran bragging about how weird it looks like.

dont get me wrong but bran is not against my fashion
in fact, he put my wardrobe together ever since i threw everything out last year and he didnt force me to throw them uggs out.

i had to dump my off shoulders though cause he thinks it's not sexy at all!
oh well~
i rather keep my uggs, anyway.

enough said, here are some grp photos

the Swiss Sweets and partners.
bran had to work, unfortunately

vien shd have don her uggs too. it'd have match her pink polka dot nightie.
maybe i shd have an uggs party.. hmmm....

the birhday girl with her yummilicious cake and friends

me and the best dressed lady

girlfriends with may who is too honest.*chuckles*

Swiss Sweets.
i love how i came up with that name for us.
and it's all cause you came for my party after having lost contact for years.
they're the bestest girlfriends ever!

THEN
it was fanana's surprise party

yes, she was surprised.
i was late as always. i just dont have a sense of urgency when it comes to birthday
and guess what, i ruined the surprise, again.
fanana knew there was a surprise for her cause i spat out a detail.
haiz...

still, she was surprised,so heck..

and then this was caught on camera.
i seriously think she has issues.
her emotions can just change in seconds.
i blame it on the cake. it had too many hearts which is so not her.
it would have been better if the cake was all flowery and neon. eeeeeeeee! but that's her la.
vintage and bright

we had sheesha which was the one reason bran accompanied me.
i told bran we're going to bussorah street or whatever it's called.
and i had to bribe him with sheesha cause he wasnt really into the mat and minah's infested place.
the streets were filled with them but they didnt do too much of a harm except to hurt my eyes a lil.
i gotta admit though, that some of them were pretty fashionable. should have got my camera to snap some daring outfits.

which reminds me

i was all inspired by victoria beckham that night
i had my over the knee socks with oxford heels and all black long sleeve mini
no dips, i'm not all into black, just that one night though ;)
i have red, blue and even green in my wardrobe ok.

i remember wearing out like that once to work and someone thought i had boots on.
is boots even allowed cause i have a whole wardrobe of boots! i like being outstanding.
i know sometimes it's my bad cause some ppl actually get all red eye for nothing

one piece of advice:
you're still young so go on and try the ridiculous
you never know it might just work for you.
at least give me a chance to comment on your great sense of fashion.

FYI, i'm not trying hard to be all pretty.
it's just me feeling confident in the clothes i wear and that's all that matters.
no harm donning the outrageous now while i still can.
imagine at 60, wearing tights!
now that's awful
so do it while you still can before it's too late

shaf, who apparently recommended the venue.
the food was good.
we ordered western in a turkish cafe
lol!
i didnt wanna take the risk cause if the food's bad, bran would give me faces.

the darlings.
i was leaning on something real soft and i was 100% sure it was nad's boobies but she said,
"sorry sha, that was my tummy. "
wahahahaha! hilarious

i still think it was your boobs

outside the cafe
i love wyd's shoes. i wan them!
and love the new hairdo liyana has though it isnt a match for nad's wild curls.
we're all jealous of your natural curls, nad.
evne though we know it's a difficult bunch to handle

i'm not too sure what i told nad but i love the classic look!

bran looking pretty satisfied.
said our goodbyes to some of them girls and went on a ride in shak's white beauty to orchard for some kbox but to our dismay, the next earliest session was after midnight.
not good news cause fanana wasnt feeling too well so we decided on coffee.
i really wanted to go to the arcade. i love arcades. i know it's a shame. for my age but who cares.
deal with it, woman!

on the way for some coffee.
fanana knows not to order a TALL

happy birthday fanana!
i owe you a present
and it's gotta be on haji lane.
you either get something you really wan or i'll get you those checkered pant
jajaja!

counting on days ppl!
let you in on the family day we had at SPC soon

C&K warehouse sale

2009-03-28T13:43:00.002+08:00

Havent had time to blog.
So we'll start with the IT fair.
It was madness
First day, I went with my Swiss Sweets and Suntec was just packed.
Got in on the Burberry Sale they had on the same day and came out with nothing.
I love the studded gladiators which had a $700 sale price tag. :S
'that' was on sale and with that price, it really didnt feel like it was on sale.
For Burberry, no way.
if it was Christian Dior or Chanel, I would have considered. so bran, you're saved!!!

And they had no signature bags, so we all left in misery but with money in our pockets!! weeee!!!

Oh, we had dinner at some teahouse and it was ridiculous.
For a plate of fried rice, some prawns, duck and tofu, we forked out way too much.
we blacklist that tea house.

vien and I were in black shiny leggings. so much for fashion, aye.
but i love leggings!

I wouldnt mind franchising Lindsay's new fashion line of leggings.
Not anyone can look good in those tights.
If i gave you a pair of high shine leggings, you think you can pull it off?!

Eeeeee, you probably look a disaster.

so dont comment on my dressing sense cause you're probably jealous...
everyone has their own style
if you can pull it off then good for you but if you cant, i'll just keep my mouth shut if i were you.

oh heck, i'm glad i dont have to see your spooky face. you look worse than Ju-On.

At least i like her hair better and she's got better skin

Anyway, bran got a heavy duty laptop.
just for games and movies!
Prison break!!!
weee!!! it was a great bargain at the fair

Last day was spent with Lionel.
All we did was buy nothing and squeeze!
it was jam-packed.
Worse than the Charles & Keith warehouse sale.
Aestee bought 11 pairs of shoes and I went off the next day with my Swiss Sweets right after hearing it.
I love my white wedges!
Got it for a mere $9!

I cant believe you wanted to go back in again after 11 pairs. heee....
Next year ah?
and bring me with you le!

Met Farhana and she's damn hilarious.
We got lost and I didnt want to ruin my wedges by stomping on them or even tripping cause it had rained earlier.

so we strolled and made faces

got in on the Mosaic Festival when Yuna was on stage.
Just in time.
For once, I have to agree with Farhana that Yuna was awesome!

She's a tudung!
Her voice is magical.
Respect, girl!

You must have read Farhana's blog on how we actually got a 'special' photo shot with the band.
I'm not doing you anymore favours ah. :p

Okok, i'm late for Fanana's surprise party
Peace out!
i love her shoes too, Fanana!

2009-03-01T13:15:00.002+08:00

Moments before driving off.
See.. Joanne has her seat belt on even before the engine started.
that's how gd a driver you are, vien. *chuckles*
and fang's body language. wahahah!!!

okok, next up: joanne's turn to drive ya.
no need for me and fang to take up the license

i'm glad i was able to meet vamy before she flew off.
apologies but i've been on a tight schedule and am still waiting for the dust to settle.

we had dinner, did a lil shopping..

realised fanana seems pretty emotional.
who wouldn't?! esp when you find out your future is set to handle kids.
i wont blame the kids if they sleep through her class though.
cause i would! lol!

it was a short meeting, spending the night drinking coffee.
fanana's become a lil block wood when she asked for a seemingly small cup of coffee which was actually a TALL cup. did you sleep that night?!
i doubt you were cause you were still asking me if i could send camy off or hang out the night before.

sorry camy, i wasn't able to enjoy your company before you left cause i was caught up at work and had to handle some home issues altogether. sigh....

i just hope things dont go bad in the end.
worrying yet hoping each day pass by with no disappointment.

anyway, i have another dress up party this coming march so...

who's gonna be the stylist?
amy went through the 'trouble' searching and shopping with me.
i promise if you help me, i'll make sure you're wearing flats. =)

the theme for the birthday party is

PYJAMAS!

great....
the winning prize better be good.
i dont have much time so like before, mail/text me on places where i can get really cool pyjamas!
not that i know if there's any....

Joy in our life;
the boy who calms our fear

Sorry for the long hiatus
Some pieces are on for trades so quick get them

CNY 2009

2009-02-07T21:49:00.007+08:00

CNY celebrations were quiet on my side this year.
However, the hong baos did came rolling in. =)

weheld this pose in reminiscence of high school days

joanne's creation =)

The celebrations eventually started when the Swiss Sweets came out to play!
Started out at Vien's place.
The last time I actually set foot was 5 years ago?
Yes, i cant even remember Ruby actually existed.
Omg, what breed was she again?!

Anyway, it started out slow.. hot sunday afternoon.
des sleeping
kw sleeping

nope! only joanne's boi boi didnt zzzzzz

and then after much 'cleaning' (fang's expertise), we decided to work out with $$$$$!!!
hahah!!
what's CNY without cards or mahjong?!

so we had many newbies with lots of beginner's luck on the table.
which was probably most upsetting for the guys. lol!

wait....
maybe it's cause of the Year of the OX
i googled some info and finalize the do's and don'ts for us

Your sign is Ox.

Finally! By January 26, when the Chinese new year begins, you will know for sure that steady plodding really does win the race. At last you find yourself here in your own very own year. This year offers a major chance to make a big difference in your life now and for the next dozen years. The year itself usually runs relatively sedately along without too many political or social hitches. But in your case, if in an Ox year you don’t jump at the chance to implement adjustments in your point of view and lifestyle, you may end up barging into a mudslide of majestic proportion. You’re not one to unduly upset apple carts. Normally, your job is to pull them. This year, it’s time to give that cart a good shove and let all the apples roll into the road. Then take a good look at which are the choicest picks, gather them. Then make a plan to use the best apples to improve your life. Build a house. Take a trip around the world. Buy an island or an abandoned hamlet in Croatia. The message? In Ox years, take charge of your existence and make it different from what has gone before. You are sometimes reluctant to grab change by the throat and run with it. This year, either you do so or you will be condemned to slog and drudge for 12 more years without making any real progress.

You will be called upon over and over again this year to lead the pack, to make sweeping decisions for the communal good and to find ways to solve problems nobody (really no one) has been obliged to solve before. Although at first, these responsibilities may seem overwhelming. By the month of March, you should have everything more or less under control.

One of the good things about being an Ox person is that you know how to dream up schemes and plans as well as to follow through on them. You are a hands-on sort of guy or woman and you are not afraid of challenge. Only hitch is you sometimes lack imagination and fail to grasp subtleties in crucial situations. Like a gifted general, you lead with aplomb and inspire obedience. But you must surround yourself with men and women shrewder than yourself who can advise you in matters of strategy and tactical approach. It is said that Oxen are sometimes clumsy. Well, they are. All the more reason to master the art of delegating to fancier dancers who never miss-step but who wouldn't know how to lead a donkey by a rope. You are the leader. Take hold of that role this year. Your willingness to be looked up to and respected for your qualities of stability and wisdom can bring about major changes in your life and the lives of those who revere you.

There is but one word to describe your love life in 2009. STABLE. It won't be an exciting time full of passionate kisses and first meetings complete with rushes of adrenalin and pounding heartbeats. This is your year to plan the next 12. Dalliances are simply not on the docket. For one, you won't have time. For another, you daren't get off the projected track. And for a third, if you decided now to begin cheating on your significant other, you would be committing a crime against all you have built together. Infidelity now might also set a pattern for the next 12 years. You would be mad to veer off into the sunset with some part time floozie or muscly nitwit ( just for the fun of it ) at this critical moment in the development of your existence.

By November of 2009, you will be feeling more chipper than you have in a long time .Not only will your health be tip top, but your immediate family life will have settled down and order once again prevail in the household. There may be a wedding or a celebration in late Fall where you will be asked to give a speech or
make a toast to someone you are not exactly mad about. Be gracious enough to accept the offer. But limit your comments to whatever positive aspects of the person you are able to scrape off the bottoms of your hooves. In 2009, in general, you will be admired for your ability to wield an iron hand with diplomacy.

The above reading is only the general forecast for your animal sign.

Happy OX Year!!

So we
played a few rounds before finally setting out for dinner.
since the group was huge (well, not exactly), we decided to split up.
the girls to go in vien's hands and the boy's with kw.
she's dangerous.
next time, i think i rather go on the bike.
suddenly it seems the bike is safer than the car.
*joking!*

oh ya, not forgetting
PICTURES AT VIEN'S

Caught posing.

I love random-ness!

They're too white.

lol!
i just realised i didnt take a photo with joanne!!!!!
omg! please tell me i did, fang!
P.S. you're the only one who hasnt distributed photos (=_=)

er.........
so kawaii!!
wahahaha!
wth is fang doing?

we were just talking about our school mates.
how benny actually was a vain pot
who has become what
and whatnot.

until we had a split second bump with hwee boon!
the shocked (more surprised, actually) expression to see us all.
he dont recognise me!!!

i also found out joanne was not my classmate and am so happy that we've become so close despite the distance. =)
a great friend indeed.
one who has tolerated my nonsense, my temper.
thank you all!

whatever~
i was all smiles when joanne's mum still remembers my name!
did you say all bad things about me so much so that she actually and surprisingly still recognises me?!

how come she dont know vivien.
she was a naughty girl!

we went through some photo albums over at anne's and i am so so impressed you have album pages of us!
awwwww~~~
so touched..

before the mood went down, we decided to 'earn some more money'
lol!
anne's father had a table set up just for playing. =)

took a cab home with my winning. heee...

what i call

TRUE FRIENDS

Despite any hardships, i'm glad i can always fall back on you girls.
May our friendship last.

i dont have many friends.
may have told me that i dont know how to treasure friendship.
that i'm never there for them

as difficult as it may for you to get along with me,
my silence proves all wrong.
i care and am glad that my Swiss Sweets have seen that through before giving up.
that's enough for me to have 3 great friends in this life.

blogging could get you in trouble?

2009-01-25T23:19:00.004+08:00

I feel a need for some painful pleasure.
i'm a quiet person and i used piercing as an excuse since high school;
simply cause the pain makes everything go away.
i'd prefer walking in the hail storm again than any of these.
send me pictures of them blooming tulips please....
i miss europe and your warm smile too much..

i finally took time to read other nuffnangers' blog and realized that bloggers all suffer much critism before getting a fan base.
the fans would usually be friends and then comes friends of friends before you actually get blog hoppers who go all nosy about your life.
they make life so dfficult for you till it actually gets out of hand.

a blog is basically a place where an individual can express his/her feelings freely, be it personal or political, religious or even a professional view.
most blogs allow all including the anonymous to leave a comment but seriously, if you dont like what you read, why come back and hurt yourself.
just leave us alone.

using someone's blog entry to support your argument is just so wrong unless you're asking for trouble.
it's not on solid grounds to begin an argument in the first place since it's not your view.

oh well...
the one person i wish i could speak to would be fauzi rasull cause

I'M IN NEED OF A BITCHING QUEEN!

i have to agree that you should never judge a person by hearing what others say until you actually meet and get to know them personally.
in what state of mind would you actually believe whatever ppl say!?

dont you have a mind or even a brain of your own?
must others be your eyes and ears?!

for crying out loud;
I'M OBVIOUSLY ON THE VERGE OF GETTING A BITCH FIT!

i am who i am.
if you dont know me, come by and say hello for a start.
i dont bite. -_-"

yoga...
i'm on it now.
breathes in peace...
breathes out hatred....

as promised;
here's what the Swiss Sweets got me.
random, random..

was pretty shocked with what joanne gave but i love them, no doubt ;)

love the color, fang :)

typical vien.
she gave me sanitary napkins!
lol! they're marshmallows ah~
i'll post pictures of the content when i can finally stomach the idea of eating pads.
heee...

Beach Outing

2009-01-24T17:39:00.000+08:00

i remember how we used to hit the beach every weekend to de stress during our pre university days.
and guess what, we should do it every week again cause hearing a frog croak everyday is too much of a nuisance.
like seriously..

i need a good tan
so does bran.
it looks like he has a t shirt on even when he's without one.
tsk.. tsk..

and liana! let's shop for a belly stud.
omg!
i havent changed like for more than 10 years!

it stinks, doesn't it? lol

Anyway, All F21 and Charlotte Russe shipments are in so do contact me for collection.
Hope to see my Swiss Sweets tomorrow for CNY celebrations. weeeee!!!!!

to a particular someone:
i cant believe how many times you've read my journal cause your IP adresss is captured on my counter.
thanks to nuffnang for this great service.
read on cause i love you fans. =)

pretty regular timings, aye...
FYI, she left because she couldnt tolerate your twisted stories

he who bless me with patience;
just surrender all to him.
everything will be fine.

i may not be as pious in comparison but he who gives me strength
has been and will always be my pillar of strength and justice.

all things happen for a reason
and it's always for the best ;)

take it that way and lead a worry-free life.

Finally

2009-01-22T12:06:00.004+08:00

bhav carls juniors

2009-01-18T23:38:00.002+08:00

Bran thinks she went into a shrinking machine.
seee... no one actually believes till you see her with your own eyes.
freaking small bhav.
she came back just for the weekends.

anyway, we had carl's juniors and she ate a whole burger!
the burgers are humongous if you've not tried.
plus we had a big box of chilli cheese fries.
now take that as a diet! lol!

seriously, all i know;
she has proven the excuse, "It's all in the genes" wrong.
I've defied that phrase when i was some 60kg too.
i would have posted a picture of me when huge if i had one.

i was a stick turned balloon and back to a stick, i think..
also proves how stress plays a part. heee...
went all jolly when i was on a year long trip but back to the skinny frame when i got back.

sigh... was out for the afternoon with bhav and hanita
and then home with bran. the weekend feels so short, now that bran is on course :(

i like my job. it's interesting and challenging.
the down side of it is, ppl just cant see me work happily.

please dont bug me..
let me work in peace.
i have no time to entertain you.
dont you have work to do too cause you seem too free...
gossiping...

one piece of advice;
stop making a big fuss out of everything cause
god bless but your mouth will be full of ulcers;
for spreading such worthless gossips

please bless me with patience and understanding so that my life may be full of happiness

i miss you..
will definitely call when the tough gets going...

house/car

2009-01-10T21:44:00.002+08:00

despite the late night we had on friday because of bran's unpredictable work schedule...
he had to go back to work on his first off day!
he managed to get off earlier than expected but...
i was stuck in a traffic jam with Aestee.

oh oh! i cannot believe how clumsy i'm getting.
i was waving gdbye to Aestee as the bus left but missed my step and almost fell flat!
tsk...
i have concentration problems. or maybe i cant multi task anymore.
if someone text me, i can just walk straight not looking at traffic, reading the SMS!
and if i carry my beef ball noodle soup, i have to look either at my soup so that i wont spill them.
or i have to look at where i'm going but bring back half a bowl of soup to my table.

sigh....

anyway, as i was saying...
despite the late night, we woke up early morning and managed to make our way to HDB Hub!

yes! we're now in the hopes of getting a house of our own.
so exciting!!!
but it's a BTO and we have to wait four years even if the application is successful.

the chances are pretty low cause they've opened about 171 4-room flats and over 1000 applications have been sent in!
unbelievable but i desperately want it!
it's a new house and perfect cause it'll be just 5mins drive from my mum's house.
and i'll be 28, old enough to settle down =)

so HDB will send a mail out for shortlisted to go through a balloting exercise which would be in a month's time.
if we get it, we're thankful cause there's not always a BTO in CCK area
but
if we dont get it, i guess we'll just have to keep hunting.

we went to service the bike but even after, we had alot of time to kill.
so since applying the house is done,
we went in search for a new car!
bran really wants a SUZUKI SWIFT.
i dont know why but seriously he's like super enthu about it despite my numerous hints on a chevrolet or that sweet lexus...
so i'm going with the flow.

if anyone is selling a brand new SWIFT at $40,000 or below..
PLS CONTACT ME!!!

i'll take it if all's good after the test drive. =)

i finally got my free PSP slim in white!
wanna know how? ;)

new year

2009-01-08T15:02:00.001+08:00

while driving us out for lunch, we found out that her birthday was this friday.
i guess it's only right for me to get a bday gift for my boss since she did get one for me.
barely knew each other for one month then.
now i've become her lunch partner cause how can i possibly keep saying 'no' to her, right...

wasn't exactly a smart move at that point of time but i didnt think it was wrong.
'm just glad at least my colleagues are still talking to me.
they probably ignored me, thinking i would have burst their bubble.

how silly~

i'm not the sort to bitch though i know all of you call out 'Hey BITCH!' when you see me in town.
it's more like a "Hey Friend" term unless you really actually meant it! bitch~
but seriously; whatever i hear, i either keep it to myself or let it go.
what good does it do to whine all day, everyday...

which is why i know alot of people's secrets!
lol! i know yours!
and yours and yours and yours!
wahahah!

honestly, work's been good.
office politics is like a norm but then i feel blessed.
my collegues are uniquely funny.
plus, i tend to forgive and forget which has become quite a habit.
i hear alot of bad things said about myself but why keep the grudge?

why instill hatred in others?
hear something and then go tell the other party.
dunno what joy but i'm very grateful to have adopted a habit of shutting up.

anyway, i made my dear swiss sweets starve for a mere one hour cause we were suppose to meet at 6.30pm for dinner. heee...
was hunting, shopping for a bday gift and i finally grabbed a bag from mango.
good thing they were having a sale otherwise i would have burnt almost $200!

had japanese teppanyaki. dont think i wanna eat there anymore.
i rather have that orgasm duck. lol!

burberry's having a 70% sale at taka so..
AZRIN! go get that bag you wanted!

i was showered with gifts today!
Joanne gave me a topshop leopard print thong which came as a shock!
it matches the leopard print cami vien got me for xmas!
and fang gave bobbi brown lipgloss which is loves too!

vien is crazy. she's also nuts.
she gave me edible panty liners~
siao, right!?

heee... i will upload the pics when i get home this weekend.

been over at bran's for a few days which reminds me:
after we ended the swiss sweets meeting, bran managed to get me to the LAN gaming shop!
unbelievable but we played Battlefield and i killed 6 online gamers who were on the same team as me!
they probably despise me! tsk...

all for bran.
i'll play again. this time just as support, like totally not gonna fire a round unless the enemy's in my face.
he was happy and it made me happy though i felt like a fool. heee.....
the more you kill, the faster your promotion.
bran said i need 200 kills before leaving the private rank.
and i started off with a minus 6 cause of killing my own team mates! wth!

pictures from fang

bran's gotten used to the girls.
they're a real riot!!

li fang proudly showing her pink underwear!
and joanne looking pretty amazed with her gift. heee.. ;)

and my leopard print cami given by sassyvien!

heee.. now it's all on me. i havent got anything. how?
and i missed the night out on new year's eve too! darn it..
we have to go to boiler room together, hor...

i spent my new year's eve at work. yes, we had to do some audit.
it was fun though.
to make up for not meeting up with the swiss sweets,
we celebrated the new year with ann!

bran made a new friend!
Uncle Lawrence!! heee...
i havent seen him in a while though.

free flow of yummy food and drinks..
no.. no.. i had 'kek-huey' crysanthemum la...

happy new year ya'all!

i never really had a new year's resolution
just my commandment:
BE THANKFUL!!

Christmas is long over....
how i wish for a white christmas.
i miss making snow angels and throwing snow balls.
