Omg...

2012-02-15T01:54:00.001+08:00

Omg... Dear actually proposed to me just now...

I was not expecting it at all! I was overwhelmed with surprises and too much was going on in my mind etc.. Plus he didn't exactly "propose" to me.. He merely asked whether I want the ring...

In the end I didn't accept his "proposal"...

At that moment, these were the opposing factors:
1) he didn't kneel
2) he didn't actually "propose", e.g the "will you marry me" etc.
3) it's Vday... And I dun like to lump special occasions into 1 day..
4) I wasn't expecting it and I wasn't ready
5) he killed the moment when he say if I dun wan it, then I wouldn't get it anymore.

I tot everything went so well tonight till the "proposal"..
A great surprise that he bought me flowers, n it's my favourite flower - tulips. A great dinner. He was awfully sweet.
But I just don't want to have a slip slop proposal which will be embedded in my memory forever..

Oh dear... Now I can't sleep...

Chicken overdosed

2012-01-19T00:22:00.001+08:00

Had a nice gathering with the CCC girls at beer market today.
We had so much fun n catching ups..
Wished we were still working together...

Anyway we ordered too much chicken wings during the happy hours and kinda over dosed on them... Note to self: dont be greedy next time.

A bunch of old men came to disturb us when we were abt to close the tab. Guess their mean age is ard 40. They kinda pissed me off when they acted so not on, and stingy too. Asked us to play darts with them but came up with so many stupid idea. We asked them to finish our chicken wings before we agree to play the darts once. Simply becoz we didn't want to waste food. But they negotiate for so long and end up saying if we lose we must eat the wings. Like duh! We paid for the wings!

Aly asked them to pay our tab if they lose, but they just kept quiet. Stingy losers. Our tab was merely $70+ n there were freaking 6 of them to share. Stingy!

In the end, they pissed me off with the wishy washy attitude. So my face was really black. The representative of the old men noticed and started to back off.

Seriously, if u are not good looking, at least be cool, or otherwise generous. If not, which stupid girl would wanna hang out with a bunch of losers who is almost old enough to be our dads.

Excited

2012-01-03T01:47:00.001+08:00

I m so tired right now but I m excited for tomorrow's first day of work at new company. Hope everything goes well!

Childish and unreasonable!!!

2011-12-27T19:35:00.002+08:00

I quarreled with my bf again!!

It started over a small issue...

He has been bugging me to go swimming with him and said that he will teach me how to swim. So today he bugged me again. I gave in and decided to accompany him for a swim.
I came down to the car park and found that his car was too near the Audi beside. Which means that I could not get in.

I saw that the driver of the Audi was still in his car, so I signaled him to drive out. But he purposely didn't want to drive out when he saw me coming and signaling.
I knew that he did it on purpose so that the Audi driver would have problem getting out of his car.

*So freaking childish!!*

Finally the Audi driver squeezed out of his car. Then I tried but I didn't want to squeeze in because I was carrying stuff. I opened the car door and asked him to drive out because I couldn't get in.
*Like as though he couldn't see that problem!!!*

He then drove out while I was sort of stuck between the 2 cars.
*See! He didn't even wait for me to walk out. What if he ran over my toes??*

When i got in, I impatiently asked why he didn't want to drive out.
Then he raised his voice saying that the Audi driver opened his door.
*But that's not the point! Point is: He should have drove out when he saw me and all these would not have happened. Why trouble the stranger and me???*

*Plus, Why raise his voice at me!!!!?*

I was supposed to accompany him to go swimming and he was supposed to teach me how to swim, but how am i going to let him teach when I am pissed?

So, when we got to the swimming complex gate I said I don't want to swim and he can go ahead without me.

Then he was very irritated and asked what was it that I want and why I refused to swim when we got to the swimming complex.
I said it's because he raised his voice, and I am not happy to go for a swim.
Upon hearing that, he said it was I who started the issue 1st.
And he raised his voice AGAIN at the swimming complex gate!!!
*WTF!*

I told him to lower his volume but he continued. I said I couldn't talk to him when his attitude is like that. So I walked away to the side, away from the crowd.
*He is not shameless, but I am! I don't like to create a scene in public!*

Then he just disappeared.

AGAIN he let me walk off without coming after me. What kind of boyfriend is this?????
I told him before to never let me walk off. Obviously I don't matter to him!!!

On Christmas day, I was already upset when he didn't even thought of celebrating. I gave him a card, he gave me nothing. He only want to make do by bringing me to buy my LONG BELATED birthday present which I had already told him the item and place to get it. (normal bf/gf would have went straight to get it)
Plus, I made the effort to dress up and make up, but he wore the clothing from yesterday and did not even shave.
After 3 years, I did not slack to at least look presentable when we go out, but he didn't bother.
Obviously taking me for granted.

So I forgive and forget the horrible Christmas, then today this!

I know he is going to say that I took him for granted as well because he woke up in the morning to drive me for health screening etc. But it was his idea to ask me accompany him to watch soccer in McDonald's for 4 hours yesterday night, then sleep over at his place, and he will send me to health screening today.
That's already a give and take.

I don't think I deserve to be treated like this and get over it by myself. He always expects me to get over it without even a apology. He will just wait till he is happy and then treat it as though nothing had happened.
That's not problem solved, that's problem archived and waiting for it to explode next time.

I feel unappreciated.

Bad phlebotomy skill

2011-12-27T12:18:00.001+08:00

I am sitting in the clinic waiting for my turn to see the doc. I have been waiting since 9 am...
Wonder how much longer must I wait..

Earlier the phlebotomist drew blood from my left arm .. She didn't do a good job. I saw the way she push the needle in and out of my arm, I knew it was a bad sign. To the extent that I felt giddy looking at her in action.
True enough, she told me that there's going to be a big blue black. And it will last at least a week.

=_____="

The incision site is slowly swelling. It felt tender and look bluish. =(
And it hurts a little when I stretch my arm...

I am trained in phlebotomy... Too bad I can't do it myself...

There's a lot of pple in the clinic today. I am exposing myself to highly contagious human beings... Hopefully my immune system is intact n present me from catching any bug from here...

Upsetted!!!

Bored n hungry...
Hates this yr's health screening to the max!!!!!

Alone

2011-11-30T17:46:00.001+08:00

Today I had to lunch alone. Because Min is on leave and Hua's manager is clinging onto her again..
I don't get it.. If she is anti-social, no one is gonna care. But why force her subordinate to eat with her? She doesn't have friends in office doesn't mean that others don't have friends as well.
Seriously, there are too many weirdos out in the society...
In school, birds of a feather flock together. But at work, it's like being trapped in a circus; even the bear has to dance with the crow...
😓

Anyway, it's no big deal to lunch alone. I am a grown up. I don't need to cling onto someone for every meal..
Plus, it's kinda peaceful to eat alone...

Boring & lazy Saturday

2011-11-26T14:43:00.001+08:00

It's Saturday but here I am, lazing at his place, nothing interesting to do, and wasting my life away...

I can feel the mould growing, spider webs forming and my brain stalling...
Gosh!!!
I need a life!!! It's freaking Saturday!!!

Change of diet

2011-11-02T18:47:00.001+08:00

I had a change of diet this week.
For the whole of this week, I am going to avoid starchy food.. Which means I do not take noodles, rice, bread or fries..
And it seems to be a good choice because I have lost abt 0.7kg in 3 days!
Reason that I am doing this is because I am going to Taiwan next week.. So I must lose the weight I gained from the Penang trip and then indulge in the awesome Taiwan food! 😊

I have been researching on the famous night markets food.. ❤
This weekend I shall spend my time planning the food itinerary..hohoho!

Happy with my phone

2011-10-31T18:45:00.001+08:00

Yeah I got my iPhone 4s !
I have been playing with it the entire afternoon 😍

Since its my 1st iPhone, I finally got to know how convenient it is to use the whatsapp!
So happy~

Just now I was irritated by dear.. He never hold the door for me ... Hrmp!!
Then after that he tried to get my attention by asking whether iPhone is fun...
That's not the way to apologise!!! N definitely not the way to get away when he did something not right!
Hate it when pole try to get away with things by just acting stupid or silly....
I shld not promote his bad behaviour!
Not a right way to treat a gf...

Planning...

2011-10-13T01:27:00.002+08:00

I am doing lotsa research on where to go, what to eat, where to club for my Taipei trip which is in early Nov.

Although I told Dear that he will be planning for this trip (like finally), but I still have to do my own research. I know Dear tooooooooo well. He will only be "stressed" for the few mins when I asked him abt the planning, then right after that, he will restore to the relax mode. For all the trips we have been to in the past 3 years, I have been the one sourcing and planning. His part was just to say "ok, let's go".
So, in order to ensure that my trip will be a fruitful one, I have to do the research as the back-up plan.

I really like those guys who will plan everything out and let the gf relax and go on a holiday. But seems like for my r/s, I am the planner. Or rather, I am so not a risk-taker, that I need to see things planned/done myself.

Having said all these, I must remind myself to get him to book the room for our trip. Otherwise, we might have to stay in some random hotel.

Totally Bloated...

2011-10-06T17:28:00.008+08:00

I am like so bloated that I would literally puke if someone poke my stomach now...
Plus, my tummy is so round that I look like a 5mth-pregnant woman...
The reason why I am so full was because we went for buffet lunch at Kushinbo just now..
It was a farewell lunch for Minnie, organised by another grp of colleagues.

I seriously did not eat a LOT, but I am still too full.. Maybe it was because I ate a lot for dinner yesterday and I should not have eat such heavy meal for lunch today..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So this was what happened last night:
My bro's bday is on Friday, but since my mum is not working yesterday, she suggested having dinner together with my bro. Dear and my bro's gf tagged along too.
Mum didn't want to have Chinese food (no rice, no noodles etc), and preferred western food. Therefore, I suggested Jack's Place at Jurong Safra.

Dear picked me up after work and headed straight to Jurong Safra. We were like 45mins early. Having waited so long for the rest to arrived, I was kinda bored and have already decided on the dish I wanted.
I was deciding between the ribeye (180gm) and the sirloin steak (250gm). Being a greedy woman, I chose the bigger steak and had it medium rare.
Dear had the crumbed chicken with fries, Bro had spring chicken with coleslaw and fries, and mum had the lamb chop and fish combo.

The food came and it surprises us...
I under-estimated the size of a 250gm steak... It was freaking huge and thick...
The steak was about 18cm wide and 3cm thick... =___="
*Burp!*
And since it's a skinny steak, it was quite chewy. But good that they really cooked it to medium rare (unlike some restaurants which always over-cooked the steak), so I didn't have a hard time cutting it. Mum doesn't eat beef (due to religious belief), so she can't try my food. I feed Dear the beef, he was alright with it, but found it a bit raw.. He is the kind of person who would order medium or medium well (the kind of pple who don't really know how to appreciate steak).
Anyway, I shared 1/4 of the steak with Dear and 1/8 to my bro.

Dear's crumbed chicken was of normal serving size and was actually quite yummy. I noticed that both Dear and the waiter didn't know how to pronounce the word "crumbed". When we were placing our orders, Dear said "I want the CRUMPLED chicken..."
I held my laughter...
And then, when the waiter served the dish, he said "Sir, here's the CRUMPLED chicken"...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAA..... They must have forgotten to iron the chicken so it's crumpled!!!!! LMAO...!

Bro's spring chicken was served. All 5 of us stared at it and started laughing...
It was the SMALLEST spring chicken we have ever seen! The whole chicken was merely the size of my bro's fist. Serious! I am not kidding nor exaggerating... The chicken or rather chick was really that small!
All of us started donating parts of our food to him otherwise he would be still hungry after that. His gf ordered the same steak (medium well) as me, so she shared it with him. I wonder how tough the meat was, since it was cooked to medium well.. Hmmm....

It was a heavy meal, because we ordered a set meal for our main course, so we had a soup, garlic bread, main course, dessert and coffee/tea. That meal would have lasted me for 1 whole day...

During the meal, mum was asking us to help her get a mp3 player. Since she was such a tech-idiot (I must have gotten that gene from her..), she doesn't know much abt a mp3 player. Her requirement is just to have a mp3 player with a screen so that she can search through the songs. She finds her current shuffle very not user friendly. So Dear asked her if she prefers the bigger sized mp3 (meaning ipod touch with bigger screen) or the smaller kind. Guess what mum replied...
She said that she don't mind the mp3 player to be big as long as she can see the list of her songs... Bro and me burst out laughing...
Bro explained to her that it doesn't mean a bigger sized mp3 = a lousier mp3. She thought that the concept is the same as a pager (if you have lived long enough to even know what a pager is..), that the bigger the pager, the lousier quality it is. Bro explained that the bigger the screen (as in ipod touch) means its more expensive.
Mum finally got enlightened...
=____="

After the meal, mum and bro went to JP to search for the mp3 player, while Dear and I headed back to Dear's place.
Feeling so sluggish, we just slack on the bed and watch TV.
Ch5 was showing Mr Bean's Holiday. I love that movie! I would laugh no matter how many times I have watched it.
I was quite surprised that Dear had not watched it before. Had he lived in the cave before he met me?
Hmm.. I wonder...
LOL...!

Anyway, since it was late, we only watched half the movie and he had to send me home. This is the reason why I choose bf who lives close to me. Imagine I had to travel across the island to meet him, or he has to drive an hr just to pick me etc...
I always asked Dear what would he do if I stay in the other side of the island. He said he would send me downstairs and I have to make my way home by myself...
Such an ass...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to today:

So this morning I decided to wake up slightly earlier to go to work. Since it was before 10am, I didn't call a cab because usually there would be a number of cabs available at that time. But today wasn't my lucky day. Not only there wasn't any cab, pple were snatching the available cabs from further up the road. Courtesy is a form of luxury in Singapore especially when it comes to transportation.
So in the end, I still have to call for a cab to get to work... This just sux...

I worked for a while, attended a teleconference, and then it's time for lunch! =) Lunch is always the best time of my entire day~
Mary made reservation at Kuishinbo at JP. Since it was kinda far, we called cabs to get there.
Seriously, it's been quite a while since we last have such heavy lunch...
I merely had 1 round of salmon sashimi, fried stuff, soup, some sushi, and desserts, I was feeling extremely bloated...
Guess my appetite has shrunk since we started the yogurt diet.. Well.. It's not a bad thing thou.. Eating less = lesser fat growth.. =)
Good for me..

What happened to iphone 5???

2011-10-05T17:32:00.001+08:00

I am so so so so so so so so so disappointed!!!

What happened to the legendary iPhone 5????????
How come it became iPhone 4s????????????
And it look exactly like iPhone 4 !!!! That's crap!!!

*SULK*

Sipping coffee in Starbucks

2011-10-04T15:49:00.002+08:00

It's mid afternoon and I am sipping coffee and blogging in Starbucks... This is the kind of life which I adore and dream of...

If you are wondering... Nope! I have not become a Tai Tai or anywhere along that line.. In fact, I am far from even being a trainee Tai Tai etc...
I am actually on half day leave and have just attended an interview in Science Park... So I have the rest of the afternoon off.
Since the company is just beside Dear's workplace, I shall just stay in the Starbucks and wait for him to finish work.

The interview was at 3, but I reached at 2.30pm. Like so freaking kiasu right??
I decided to play safe and leave office at 2.10pm and cab down. But who knows the trip was so short and I reached within 20 mins and so I just popped up at the company~
the interview was nothing like the usual ones i had. I was practically just smiling throughout the whole session. The interviewer explained that they are more of "selling" their company to people than people "selling" themselves to the company. It sounds pretty interesting to me. The fact that they are very frank, yet professional, makes me feel like wanting to join the company. I would love to work with people who are focused on work more than being hypocritical. I feel that team work is very impt in a company and if people are truthful to one another and work hard together, it would be very beneficial to both the company and the people.
Now that I think of it... The interview seems similiar to the one I had when I came to join the current company. James, the associate director then, also didn't ask me much questions. He also kept introducing the company and jobscope to me..

But I am glad that the interview was over and they will be getting back to me within this week. *excited!*

Plus, the recruiter just called me with another job opportunity! It sounds like a good opportunity. I told him that I am open to it and he will be sending me information abt the company.
=)

I am looking at the muffins and cakes in the display... They seem to be calling my name... Asking me to buy one and eat it...
But my conscious self told me that I should not do that because I am not hungry and those are a load full of calories!!
I need to shed fats before I head to Penang and Taiwan!!!

Anyway, earlier during lunch, I went to get spaghetti from TCC. It was the Mentaiko Spaghetti with Salmon Tataki. The pasta was cooked with Mentaiko, cream and garlic, and served with salmon tataki and a sunny side up. It was so yummy!!!!!
Good thing that ah hua has the discount card, so it has 15% off total bill. Plus it was take away, so it doesn't include service charge.
Although it kinda an expensive lunch, but it's sooooo worth it! Totally boost my morale for the interview!

I think tmr I shall have chicken soup. Time to cut down on the calories intake. Otherwise I will turn into a fat ball after those trips.

Excited!

2011-10-03T00:08:00.002+08:00

I am excited for my trip in Nov!!
I am going to Taipei again!

Jetstar had the Friday Sale tickets to Taipei @ only $271/return tix!
So worth it!
Therefore, me and Dear are going to Taipei in early Nov again~!
=)

This time round, I can guarantee that the weather will be very cooling. Unlike the trip we had last Aug (average temp was 34 Degree Celsius), Taipei is very cooling in Nov (average 24 Degree Celsius)!
=)

*Happy~!

Suddenly, I don't feel that excited for my Penang trip in end Oct anymore.. Haha..

I need to spend some time thinking of what kind of clothes to bring to Taipei~
*Excited*

what to do?

2011-09-29T17:36:00.002+08:00

Just now a recruiter called me, asking if I am interested in taking up a Pharmacovigilance executive position. But after listening to the brief JD, it seems to be just a medical assistant. Which means a admin/logistics kinda position.
I asked if there is any sort of progression for that job because I don't want to join the company and ended up being stuck as a MA until I get my degree.
But if the company accepts diploma for DSA position then it will be a good opportunity for me to go over..
So I gotta wait for the recruiter to provide me with more information.

Anyway, earlier during lunch we went to Harry's Bar. It was a farewell lunch for Minnie since she is leaving soon. I am so going to miss her after she left... Such a good manager is hard to get in Singapore... Haiz.. I think a lot of managers in Sg are very anal. They like to eat snake and play tai chi but yet they expect a lot from their subordinates. Plus many are not that capable. They are promoted mainly based on luck and ass-kissing skills. =___="
Really appreciate that I met Stef and Minnie, whom I think are really good managers. I can learn so much from them.

Back to lunch, it's my first time eating in Harry's. I ordered the Steak Sandwich and it was good~
Although the steak was a little tough, the taste was still good. The bread was very yummy. Comparing the steak sandwich from Harry's and Cedele, I think Cedele's one is much better. Simply because Cedele's steak is very juicy and tender.

Tired...

2011-09-29T00:20:00.001+08:00

I feel so tired...
Have been sleeping only like 4 hrs everyday...

I hope weekend will come really soon.. maybe like tmr!!

F1 race in Singapore

2011-09-25T21:50:00.002+08:00

It's the day of the final F1 race in Singapore again...
I realized one thing which I will always end up doing when I watch the F1 race on TV... and that is.... Fall asleep.

Yep... I will fall asleep while watching the race cars going round and round and round... Making the monotonous zooming sound...
I slept so well that I only woke up after every 20 laps...
Now it's lap 57... And I am finally awake! =)

Dear said that i slept like log and couldn't even wake me to see the crash... I guess I am more interested in soccer match than F1...
Hahaha... Dear so nice... He just went to get me a Carlsberg beer which I was craving for before I dozed off...
I wish he will be so nice everyday and stop farting in my presence... His fart is so toxic that I guess I will get nose cancer from breathing it...
Grossest thing ever!!!!!

Update

2011-09-24T20:22:00.002+08:00

Just scrolled down my blog and saw the past entry which I wrote abt me jogging...
Hahahaha... No... I have not been jogging since late June... Especially after I came back from Bangkok, I have not been moving at all...
But I was glad that I didn't put on much weight from the Bangkok trip becoz I was quite well-behaved and didn't over eat when I was there. Plus my colleague taught me the yogurt diet which helped to bring my weight down.. =)

I noticed that I have a number of blog visitors from Msia, like Taiping and Ipoh... =)
And a few who leaves msg in non-English... I hope those are not msg that are scolding me.. Hahaha... Becoz I have no idea what languages they are and of coz not able to understand them.

Anyway... I have been sending out resumes in the past 2 days... I hope to get good news... I guess it's really time for me to change job... Stuck at the cross road again!!!
Haiz...
Maybe I should buy some TOTO and hope to win a million bucks... Then I will not have to worry abt my future!
Dear GOD, please listen to my this prayer!! thank you very much! Haha...

Lazy

2011-09-24T19:59:00.002+08:00

It's such a lazy Saturday...
I almost didn't want to wake up in the afternoon, until I rmb that I was going to Jushinjung for korean food.
Ever since I watched the Korean drama "Brilliant Legacy" on Ch U, I have been craving for Korean food. Their BBQ meat looks so yummy and the cold noodles looks interesting as well. So this time I was determined to try the cold noodles.

The last time I had Korean food in Jushinjung was when I brought my mum there for her bday dinner in dec last yr.
I like the place because they sell authentic Korean items and the staff would do the BBQ for us. (I will be blogging abt the restaurant in MyDailyMoo)

Me and Dear decided to have the lunch buffet since the price is more worth it. I really ordered the spicy cold noodles for the main dish. Hmmm... I didn't love it or hate it. It's tasted like vermicelli with Korean chili paste and beef stock. But Dear liked it. He said that it's appetizing to have the cold noodles with the piping hot BBQ chicken.

Anyway, after the lunch, I was so bloated till I could hardly breathe... I weighed myself when i woke up this afternoon, and I was 47.9kg. But after that meal.... I think I would be 50kg... Or at least like a 49.6 or so....
So I have decided to skip dinner for today..
I wouldn't want my baseline weight to bounce up tomorrow...

It just sux that I am not the kind of person who can eat without gaining weight... My metabolism rate is probably so low that I would grow fat even just by breathing...
I bet a lot of girls will agree with me on this....
Guys will nor understand the pain we are going thru... Just becoz their fat cells are naturally lesser than females.... And brain cells as well.. LOL!!

Good Morning~

2011-09-23T08:18:00.002+08:00

Good morning world~

omg.. it's been quite a while since I woke up so early in the morning...

I guess I must give myself a pat on my back to make it for a meeting at 8.

I am actually quite excited now because lunch might be at Capella Sentosa later =)

Hopefully the weather is good and the plan can be proceeded.

Gloomy but not because of the Haze

2011-09-20T16:55:00.002+08:00

Once again I am at the cross road.
Being uncertain of my future, which path to choose and what's best for me...

Because of certain selfish and no foresight people, I was abandoned in the quick sand, desperately hoping for a hand to reach out to me.
Feeling very unfair (though it's part and parcel of life), feeling unjust and feeling upset...
I wonder why some people could climb the C. ladder without much effort. Some even climbed without capability nor achievements. For those who are capable, who are working hard, gets left behind. I guess luck is just not with me.
I wonder how long can those people stay lucky.

Packing Up~

2011-08-16T17:55:00.002+08:00

It's 5.56pm and I am getting ready to leave office. I hope that the traffic isn't too bad otherwise it would take me another 35 - 45mins just to get to Bukit Batok from Jurong East.
Yes.. This is how lousy the public transport is during peak hours. The bus takes forever to come and when it arrives, it is too packed to take anymore passengers. After waiting for 2 - 3 buses, I will finally get to the Jurong East MRT station and then the train will be too packed to take me. So, I will have to wait 5 mins for the next or 2 more trains.
GOSH! It's only a 7 mins drive distance!

Watever... It will probably take another 5 - 10 years before the LTA will do anything to really improve the system.
Looking at how they build the extra track in JE but only opens for the morning peak but not during the evening peak hours... it just explains how smart and cost effective they are...

I only wish that this week would pass really quickly and then Dear will resume picking me up from work every evening.

Time now 6.03pm.
OFF WORK!

Wishes

2011-06-24T02:01:00.002+08:00

I just saw my wishes on my blog...

OMG! It's already June 2011 and I have yet to fulfil any of the wishes!!

My lasik has been postponed due to overseas trips, I still have not been to Korea and Japan, my Canon camera still lacks the extra batt, haven't get an Adidas jacket...

And I am going to be 26 in one month's time!!! Yet there is still no sign of me getting married anytime soon!!!

=_______="

I am such a procrastinator...

excited!

2011-06-24T01:48:00.002+08:00

I am excited!

Just finished packing my luggage.. or rather, I have just pre-packed my luggage...

I am sure I will be putting more stuff into it tomorrow.

I guess women are just like that. We can pack the whole wardrobe into the luggage for just a short trip.

Just my undies alone can take up so much space... =(

Friday's flight is at 7.10am.. So freaking early...

So that means I have to get to the airport by 5.30am.. and I have to wake up at 4.00am!!!

That's HELL!!

If only the SIA flight is at 8.10am instead.. Life would have been so much easier that way..

I am totally not a morning person...

Waking at 4am... I will look like a zombie with puffy face and eyes...

I guess for the sake of taking SIA flight, I shall sacrifice my beauty sleep...

I planned to "torture" the air stewardess by making a lot of requests through out the journey till I reach Bangkok.. Heehee...

Ok.. that's kinda childish...

Maybe I should just be good and watch the movies on demand...

Hmm.. 7 days in Bangkok..

I wonder how it would turn out...

Been there twice before, so I guess I should explore new places instead of revisiting the old ones..

Ok.. enough of my over-excitement for the trip..

I have been totally worn out for the past 2 days...

Simply because I have been sleeping at 3am everyday.. plus I went to jog 5km on Mon and Tues...

That could have killed me..

ME... jogging... I must have been mad...

All thanks to the influence from Jason and Dear...

Keep asking me to exercise...

Jogging is my most hated exercise ever... but now I am trying to stick to it..

It better let me lose some weight.. if not I will be so angry with myself..

New Blog!

2011-05-11T01:01:00.002+08:00

Yeah! My new blog is up and running!

Look out for it @ Mydailymoo.wordpress.com

So glad that I have achieved my target of the week =)

I must keep up the good work to blog there regularly~

Name for my new blog

2011-05-10T01:50:00.006+08:00

I started thinking of a name for my new blog..

Together with the help of Aly, Yuhua, & Dear, here are the shortlisted ones:

- My Daily Moo

- The Cow Stomach

- Cow Eats Grass

- In The Eye of The Cow

Why cows? hmm... all thanks to my obsession with cow.. hahha..

born in the year of cow... temper of a bull.. possession of "4 stomachs"...etc.

So far the highest vote is for My Daily Moo

Second highest is Cow Eats Grass.

I was on half day MC today.. =(

Had diarrhoea since last night...

I thought was the steamboat which I ate last night.. but apparently everyone else was fine..

So i guess was just my stomach...

Went to the doctor to get Loperamide HCl...

Felt better after that, so I went to work in the afternoon.

I am so not staying at home in this freaking hot weather especially when the air con is down.

The clinic is rather empty today.. I guess pple are going to work for the air con...

For the past 3 days, the weather has been 32-33 degrees Celsius...

It's melting me into lard...

Even sleeping in air con room, I did not use a blanket...

This is how bad the weather is...

Well.. if it rains tomorrow, I will go on a 3 days diet to repay the weather god.. if there really is a weather god...

A new blog??

2011-05-09T02:57:00.005+08:00

I was reading a few posts from last year...

Realised that this is a rather boring blog because it's all about me..

Well.. it did fulfill its purpose because I started this to replace my paper diary..

But it looks like I hadn't been blogging much either..

Most of the time I blog because I am frustrated, sad or I suddenly rmb that I had a blog..

Partly because this is not private... it's online.. so I don't feel too comfortable sharing everything in my life..

I was thinking of starting another blog..

It will be a blog which concentrates on two important parts of me:

- Food

- Travel

Sounds too common, but it's MY blog.. so who cares!

I have not think of the name of my new blog..

of cause it must not sound so cheesy like this current blog...

Plus, I have not decided to use blogspot or livejournal or others...

Alright!

Target of this week will be: to start my Food + Travel Blog and complete 1 entry!!

We shall see if SQ-the-biggest-procrastinator will ever achieve this little goal...

* Bleah*

GE.. Part of the May 2011..

2011-05-09T02:17:00.003+08:00

Well.. For the past 1 week all the media in Singapore has been "spam" by the general election activities...

To the extend that I am sick of it...

Can't really blame the citizens.. after all, it's the first time so many of them get to vote..

The sudden splurge of interests from the opposition parties did surprise me..

But spamming the news, twitter, facebook, yahoo, google and newspapers can be rather irritating...

My bf is one of the first-time-voters... and of cause he is hyper excited about it.. He is pro-opposition.. so he keeps watching the videos of their rallies and the negative comments on the ruling party...

Bores me out.. the entire week...

My friend asked me about my stand/view... I told him that I am neutral..

Explaining to him that there is pros and cons for both ruling and opposition parties..

I would disqualify my vote if I am supposed to vote.

Simply because the ruling party has done well in terms of the country's benefit, but has not done as well for curbing the social issues. As for the oppositions, they have yet done anything to prove themselves but have promised the citizens with a number of policies to deal with social issues.

To my surprise, my this friend started telling me off..

He started scolding the ruling party, saying that it's time for a change etc etc...

=_____=" I said,"the tactic which the oppositions use is to stir up the emotion of the citizens. If your emotion has been stirred up, your judgement will be bias"

And with that, he started saying that I am bias, and it's irony that I said I am neutral.. blah blah blah..

=___________="

I felt that there is no point continuing the conversation...

Politics is as sensitive as religion.. So to save our friendship, it's time to change the topic.

What I wanted to say was, there is no right or wrong to whom you support. Only time will tell if your belief is right or it has failed you...

Sigh...

From this incident, it just proved to me that whether one can think in an objective manner has nothing to do with age.

Finally the election is over. The opposition has won 6 out of the 87 seats. My area has a new MP and I hope he will be good.

And another weekend

2011-01-31T00:06:00.004+08:00

Nothing much for this weekend..

Friday was a slack off night...

I was too busy during work.. busy with all the archiving...

why must all the studies archive at the same time??

totally worn out...

so I more or less knocked out when I was watching TV at his place..

Dear woke me up ard 10pm to catch the american idol 11.

he asked wat I wanted to drink and poured me sprite..

then he teased that I have such good life... eat dinner, sleep, woke up and someone gets me drink..

hahaha... thank you my dear for the "good life" .. it would be even better if u can give me a massage... =)

and that's all for my friday...

Woke up late in the morning on saturday...

went to westmall foodcourt for breakfast...

breakfast was random dim sum and milo...

we were trapped in the mall cause of the heavy rain... so had to go coffee bean to slack off...

waited till the rain stopped and we head back home to change before going to bugis...

Dear pointed to me his ex-classmates who are together and married now...

he said that the lady was with one of his classmates in sch.. but now she married to the guy from the next class..

I saw the lady and the guy carrying the baby... oh my.. the lady is really auntie...

I bet that's how much damage a baby can do to a woman...

*goosebumps*

34 yrs old auntie...

I wonder how I would look like when I am 34...

*worried*

Reached bugis.. it was so freaking crowded..

anyway... the crowd there are sooo young... I suddenly felt so old...

it's 10 yrs since I was their age..

oh my... its the new year syndrome kicking in again...

After much effort squeezing through the crowd etc.. I got my self a outer wear ($15) and a new bag ($28.90)~

Then we went to have deserts and rojak at the hawker...

walked ard the old shopping mall... then to iluma, bugis junction.. before heading for roast duck rice at the coffee shop opposite the temple.

headed to the Mrt at 9.30pm... tired in my heels...

as usual the MRT station was packed... luckily I saw that the next train is 1 min away from the current one..

so i made dear wait for the next train...

I told him that from my experience in taking train, the next train will be empty and we will have seats.

he doubt me (as usual) in the beginning until the train approaches and we got seats!!

so I don't have to stand all the way back to jurong east in my heels~

*proud*

reached dear's place.. bathe.. watch tv... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Dear woke me up in the late morning again...

headed home to get passport before going to JB..

it was pouring from 12pm... so the custom was quite empty.. and we reached JB in just a while..

the chicken rice store was closed.. so we has KFC instead.

KFC was celebrating the 500th store opening so the combo meal comes with a KFC mug (with 24k gold plated wordings..)

the mug is unique~

We grabbed some DVDs before heading home...

we watched the new shaolin by andy lau and jacky wu, 172 hrs, and vantage point...

and that's all for my weekend...

tmr will be another busy day for archiving...

Jiayou!

a.F.f.e.C.t.E.d

2011-01-24T00:38:00.002+08:00

affected..

yes.. I am affected by dear's mood..

We quarreled yesterday.. Partially because of me being impatient, and partially because of him being defensive and refusing to give in..

Well.. we did resolve the issue yesterday..

but today he was moody...

He spent the whole day watching dvds.. hardly talked to me..

asked him wat's wrong, but he say nothing...

he said nothing to do so he is in his bored mood...

and I am affected by his mood..

I am easily affected by the emotion of the pple around me... not just my bf..

so when i see him in this state, it made me uncomfortable and turned moody as well..

I shall leave him alone... see if he gets better tomorrow..

It so easy to give up a r/s and yet so difficult to maintain one..

times and times I feel like giving up..

times when i over-looked his good.. and bite on his bad...

times when both of us take things for granted..

times when both of us get too hot-tempered...

times when I feel that this is it...

But every time after I cool down... think through the issue.. it wasn't that bad...

it's just need more communication...

The most important tool in all r/s...

To communicate...

uncertainty lies in front of me...

A Relaxed Off Day

2011-01-21T01:21:00.002+08:00

Took a day off from work today..

had been rather busy at work for the past 3 days.. all thanks to the archiving stuff..

Called ah yi at 10am but she was not at home. Then I called her again at 12pm and she said that she was alone at JP in the morning.

I told her that I will be cooking pasta to her place..

Recently I learnt how to cook Min's pasta which she made during her xmas party in dec..

It's super yummy.. the main ingredients are the sun-dried tomato and whipping cream.. =)

So I cooked a tub of pasta to ah yi's place in the afternoon.. Lele loves my pasta too~

Went to find dear in the evening with the remaining pasta for his dinner...

It was quite a big tub and I made him finished all of it... hahaa..

I said that I wanna make him fat again so that he wouldn't tease me..

He's been rather egoistic since he lost about 12 kg in the past 3 months...

I guess I really have to buck up this time.. shedding off 3-4 kg !

It's been nice being with dear for the past few months.. guess it's yr end so both of us are more relaxed, less tensed from work.. so lesser quarrels..

But he does get a bit annoying when he is slightly drunk or over-excited...

=________="

And other than him being a bit self-centered, he is nice to be with..

We bought a voucher from deal.com.sg to BKK .. The air tix (excluding airport tax) and 4D3N hotel stay @ only $188/person.

So now we are waiting for the travel agency to confirm our flights and travel dates..

It would be nice to go BKK again this yr~ Hopefully the weather doesn't get too warm and no more riot or protest please...

On the other hand, Min, Narene, Yuhua and I are planning to go Bali for a short getaway in April... But we are still sourcing for cheaper villa with private pool...

We missed out a good deal from airasia air tix to Bali... quite wasted... Hopefully jetstar has promo tix and we can settle on the trip soon...

Realli miss the tanning session and indomee feast... =)

Dear has started looking out for HDB again...

The next BTO is at Bukit Batok.. so Dear is keeping a lookout for it...

He has plans to get a 5-rm or EC... but the price must be reasonable and location is extremely important..

But he is planning all these without asking if I want to marry him!

I am not going to register for any BTO with him unless he proposed romantically..

However.. I still have doubts... I am not sure if he is really the one to spend my life with..

I mean... I love him, he is nice..etc.. but his temper and self-centered is an issue.. which may pose a potential threat to our relationship..

So I am really not confident in getting married at this moment...

I am getting old alrdy... 26 this yr..

suddenly I feel OLD... and kinda lost in my future...

I dunno wat job should I change to... I dunno if I wan to finish my degree in Biomed Sci.. or to get a different course degree....

*Lost*

But I like my days now seeing dear almost everyday after work and on weekends...

Love the sweetness in the relationship... Just not ready for changes...

Maybe that's what pple call "the comfort zone".

Again..

2010-11-01T00:14:00.003+08:00

Was with dear just now..

the whole afternoon he was doing his minutes.. so after i finished my online test, i played sims 3 till 7pm at night...

since we didn't get to talk for the entire afternoon, i tot we could spend some quality time together..

so i told dear that we hadn't talk for the entire day..

but he replied saying that i was playing game the whole day..

so i said coz he was writing his minutes so i played games to entertain myself.. *nothing wrong with it right?*

then he repeated saying that i also didn't accompany him...

i said he was writing his minutes the whole afternoon..

and then he replied with his attitude tone again.. saying "I write minutes cannot ah?"

*pissed*

wats is wrong with him and his attitude?

so i refused to talk to him anymore.. and he just ignored me as well..

then when he drove me home, he put on his attitude again...

watever!

i had enough of these...

enough of him being nice for a while and then show me attitude again...

i had enough of giving in to him alrdy..

since he don't know how to appreciate me.. then so be it..

*enough said*

2010-10-07T23:21:00.002+08:00

Dear just called me to check how I am...and chat with me for a while..

*Happy*

I had the sinus runny nose yesterday.. so I took half day mc to see doc...

Aly, Joyce, Min and Yuhua went to Oriental clinic with me during lunch time.

Then we had lunch at Char-Grill beside my house..

After that I went home to rest and fell asleep till 6.30pm... I didn't wake up till mama came home and woke me..

Ard 6.50pm, dear called me but I didn't notice...

Then 8+pm I called him twice but no answer.. and he din reply my sms as well...

Finally at 10+ he called.. saying that he went for soccer with colleagues and just ended the game..

He told me to drink more water and rest more..

This morning I dun feel well, so I took another day of MC and got fluxonase nasal spray from the doc. Quite ex.. the medical bill came up to $75...

Then went to JP to meet Eddie to know more abt the insurance policy..

Had dinner at pepper lunch~ before coming home to do project discussion with Lynnette and Angeline...

Sweet~

2010-09-28T00:37:00.002+08:00

I guessed it was due to the quarrel we had yesterday...

Dear is treating me very nicely today..

Was off from work since 6pm...

I messaged him at 5.50pm.. again at 6.35pm.. but he did not reply..

I thought he was busying at work, so I decided to leave the office and head home..

To my surprised, he was waiting for me at the office car park..

Dear told me that his phone had no batt so he couldn't call/msg me.. and he had reached since ard 6pm...

I told him that I was waiting for him in the office.. and apologized that I had made him wait for so long..

Surprisingly again.. Dear said no problem coz he didn't tell me that he phone had no batt and did not msg me that he had reached my workplace..

I wish we could be so polite and care for each other always...

Dear asked what I want for dinner, but since I wasn't hungry (I had a large cup of KOI in the afternoon! Thanks to Claire!) I said that I would accompany him while he eats.

Dear told me that he had bought a big kite... So sweet again!

Last time I complained that he don't go kite flying with me, he bought me the small butterfly kite..

Over the weekend I told him that I found a kite flying khaki and want to get a big cuttlefish kite for myself. Yesterday we went to Danga Bay to look for kite, but it was selling at a very high price, so I didn't get any..

And today he bought me the kite!

*Happy!*

Dear can be sweet at times~ That's the reason why I can't bring myself to lose him despite all the quarrels we had..

I asked him what design he bought, but he kept me in suspense.. until we reached his place and I immediately remove the kite from the bag to check it out..

It's a big eagle kite~!

Although not as big as the cuttlefish that I wanted, but it looks cool too~

I forgot to give Dear a hug and a kiss~

I will repay that on this weekend then~

Speaking of weekend, =(

I wouldn't be seeing Dear till Saturday...

That because I have school on Wed and friday and Sat morning...

Gonna miss him~

Hopefully Dear would fetch me on Friday? If not, then I will only get to see him on Sat afternoon...

Too much stuff..

2010-09-28T00:18:00.002+08:00

Too much stuff had happened~

Too lazy to blog...

Well had a small quarrel with Dear yesterday.

But it was quite dramatic, according to the girls..

Here it goes...

I told Dear that I wanted to go JB, so I had to go home to get my passport and ringgits.

I was carrying the clothes bag, shoe bag on one hand, and the other hand I had the 9 bottles of bird next and a bag on my shoulder.

I bet anyone seeing me with the load, would immediately offer to help..

But my beloved Dear assumed that I was doing fine and walked off first..

*pissed*

Since I barely have free hand to open the car door, I banged the stuff onto the car door, and then slammed the door after me...

Dear was pissed with all the banging on his car door.. so he opened the windows and turned on the music to a very loud volume.

*Attitude*

I asked why he refused to on the air con when its a hot afternoon. He showed me the attitude and speak in his angry tone. So that sparked off the quarrel in the car on the way back to my place...

We were practically yelling in the car coz the music was so loud and the windows are opened.

When we reached the carpark below my block, he got out of the car without helping me again.

I was fuming so I refused to get out of the car... I was sitting in the car, under the afternoon sun, with all the car windows closed.

Although it was getting warmer every second, I refused to get out..

Dear stood behind the car and checked out for me through the side mirrors...

Since he refused to give in, I shall remained in the car..

I guessed my patience (boost by the anger) and tolerance was good... I stayed in the car for about 30mins... enduring the heat and stuffiness in the car..

One thing that came into my mind was the news report abt a Taiwan kid being locked in the school bus and died of heat and dehydration.

Finally, Dear walked to the car and sat on the driver's seat.. The moment he opened the car door, the wind from outside gushed into the car.. A big sense of relieve for me...

By then sweats had broke out on my forehead and neck..

Dear (still angry) asked if I wanted to go up already (in the attitude tone)... I ignored him...

After a while, he asked the same question again, still with attitude but he toned down a bit...

So I turned to him and said why till then he still talk to me with such attitude. Why can't he coax me when I am angry...

Finally he realized it.. He toned down to the maximum and asked me (in the gentle manner) if I want to go now ... and he stretches to help me carry the heaviest bag...

Phew... issue solved...

He can be the nicest person on earth and also the meanest person on earth at times.. I just dun understand...

Would it be so sweet and lovely to be nice to the loved ones all the time?

zouk

2010-04-23T00:33:00.003+08:00

I am just too lazy to blog for the past 2 weeks...
So I shall slowly update bit by bit..

16 Apr 10
Went to Ice Cold Beer with Min and WanYi after work.
The 502 bus took super long to come and it was stuck in a jam all the way till Holland...
We only managed to reach Orchard ard 8pm... =(
Min showed us the way to Ice Cold Beer which was up a slope in a small alley...
The place was already very crowded and they don't entertain reservations for Friday nights..
So We went to the 2nd level and found a standing area beside the pool table.

The place is quite cozy and nicely decorated.
They were using rope and bucket to fetch drinks from level 1 for those that they don't have on the 2nd level.
we ordered budweiser beer coz the happy hours price is 2 for $12 (normal is 1 for $12), 6 chicken wings (they cut it into half) for $16, and a salami thin crust pizza $16.
The beer tastes like carlsberg. The chicken wings are good! I guessed it is marinated with shrimp paste and fried till crispy~ Yummy! Crispy on the outside and juicy inside~ Plus it's not too salty, so it goes really well with the beer.
As for the pizza, I could only say "Thumbs UP!" The crust is fantastic! Thin, crispy and tasty~ Salami is so savoury~

Janice joined us at ard 8.30pm, so we had the last order for budweisers.
At first Narene didn't want to come coz she broke up with her gf.. but then Min persuaded her out..
She was rather upset, so we tried to cheer her up.
We ordered the Ice Cold Beer Pizza (seafood) at $18 and I had Corona ($12) while Narene had 3 Hoegarden.
I was a little tipsy after the 1st bottle of budweiser down my empty stomach..
So after another 3 bottles, I was quite high and agreed without hesitation when Min suggested going to Zouk.
Wahaha.. I am so easily persuaded when I am tipsy..

We cabbed down to Zouk at ard 10.30pm and I didn't recgonise the way into the club coz I merely followed them all the way..
Paid my $25 cover charge and headed in to Velvet.
We sat at the reserved seats coz the club was still quite empty.. They ordered a round of apple shooters ($30) and 2 long island ice tea ($70). Narene paid with Citibank card so we had 1 for 1 drinks. The long island ice tea was sooo liqour-concentrated that we had to request for more mixer to be added...
Janice invited Niger and Min's friend, Clare, joined us..
We played games to finish the drinks so that we can head over to phuture. We made Narene drink a lot..

What happened in Phuture was a blur..
Narene intro the different clubs to me and she said I replied "OK" to all the 3 clubs..
But actually I don't rmb a single thing.. wahahaha...
So we danced in Phuture and I rmb pushing a guy off coz he placed his hand on Wanyi's back..
Then I rmb Niger trying to dancing with everyone and hugging everyone..
So whenever he place his hand on my waist or back, I will pretend to turn or move to push his hand away..
I cannot stand guys who flirt around when they already have a girlfriend!

I rmb accompanying Narene out to smoke a few times..
And once we were standing beside Joshua (The shuai actor of I not Stupid) and his "girl"
Then suddenly Narene went over and ask him if she had burnt her hair..
wahahhaha... comical!
Once, on the way back into the club, I saw a guy hugging Narene..
I was tipsy and the first thing that came to my mind was "why is the guy hugging Narene?"
So I went up and pushed the guy and asked why he hugged Narene... I rmb the guy yelling that he knew her for many years already..
Opps... Then someone (I rmb was Wanyi, thou she said she didn't) pulled me back.. and I just smile to the guy and said "sorry"
=_______=" What am I doing????! now that I recall, that guy was so much taller than me...

After that, while we were dancing, a fight broke out.. and one of the guy hit Min's shoulder...
I hugged Clare as she was beside me.. Then when I saw Min was hit, I hugged her and started yelling "F*** lah" to that guy...
But I think the guy didn't know as the bouncer had came in to chase them out..

We then danced till the club closes.. and head to Cuppage for prata...
After that Min dug Narene's throat to make her puke as she was too drunk...
Narene was more awake after she puked.
Min had to send Narene home, so I had to share cab with Niger since he stayed in Bukit Batok..
On the cab I chose to sleep than to talk to him..
Before he alighted, he passed me the money and said that he is joining us on the next Friday's party..
By the time I reached home, it was already 6am...
I feel like I am about to collapse.. so I quickly bathe and sleep...

Finally meet up with Joyce~!

2010-04-15T00:39:00.002+08:00

I met up with Joyce (Caizhi) today. She needs to exchange her iPhone with a dead pixel at M1 in Paragon and then to Bugis to buy EU Rail pass from STA.

The weather was like crazy! The sun was so bright and the temperature was about 34 degrees.

I could totally become a baked fish if I were to stand under the sun for 15 mins.

So I took a cab to Paragon so as to avoid the long bus/train journey and get baked by the sun while waiting.

I reached Paragon at about 1.45pm.

Found Joyce in the M1 shop counter.

There was 3 sets of iPhone on the counter and Joyce said that all 3 that they replaced were faulty too..

=_____="

*Is the manufacturing quality that BAD??*

Finally the lady came out with the 4th set, which did not have any scratches nor dead pixel.

But there was a small paint defect. Joyce decided to make do with that set coz she didn't want the person to end up opening all the remaining 6 sets left in the store.

Joyce commented that she felt like she is doing part time quality check for iPhones..

After getting her phone exchanged, we went to Din Tai Feng for Xiao Long Baos~

We couldn't decide on what to eat, and I felt like eating chinese and Jap..

So we decided to have appetizer in Din Tai Feng, and then head to a Jap place for main course!

*This is something which you can only do with your girlfriends~ Guys will never understand or do this*

Xiao Long Baos are yummy in Din Tai Feng Paragon branch~!

We finished all 10 of them in minutes~

Then we shared our juicy gossips and stories since we hadn't catch up for 1+ years..

I really missed spending time with Joyce!

After settling the bill, we headed to Sushi Tei in Taka.

There, we ordered Cha Soba, Ebi Tempura, Sea Urchin Gunkan, Salmon Mentai sushi, Salmon Sashimi and Chawanmushi~

It's my first time trying Sea Urchin! The virgin taste verdict was... it's good!

No fishy taste/smell, it's smooth like cream, orange like salmon, and it's sweet with a bit of sea taste.

I like it~ but it's ex..... $12 for 2 pcs of the Gunkan.

The Chawanmushi is smooth and fantastic~ and the tempura was perfect!

I just love Sushi Tei~~~

I could only say "Value for money!"

The meal was on me coz I wanted to give Joyce a treat before she flies off to Europe for 6mths' backpacking.

I think she is really brave to actually backpack ALONE to see Western Europe.

She quit her job for this as well.

But I do agree with her that it's a lifetime experience which you could only do it when you are still young and unmarried.

This gives me an inspiration to accomplish something like this before I get married as well.

I don't want to look back when I reached 40s and realised that my 20s were wasted with no achievement.

Life is not just about work-family-relationship.

I feel that there should be achievements other than work work work..

Ultimately you wouldn't reminisce about you being the Manager/Director/CEO of XXX, but rather what you have done when you were younger.

Things like sports/adventures/travels/competitions which enriched your life and makes it interesting.

Though Joyce will be spending quite a large sum of money on this trip, but both of us felt that it's worth it.

Money can earned/won at anytime of your life. But such experiences/chance don't come by everyday/anytime.

To me, Money spent is the actual fortune which I owned.

I don't see the point of saving a million dollars and couldn't spend much of it when you are old.

Pple may save it for retirement. But be realistic.. how many can live that old or that fit to enjoy all that they have earned.

I bet 60% of them die earlier than expected, get critically ill and then all the hard earned money just goes into the drain for medical bills (which includes suffering) or get left to the kids..

I don't believe in leaving money for the kids.

They have to lead their own life, achieve what they want and strive for their goals. Providing them money with no effort put in by them, is only going to make them weaker in each generations.

Saying all these doesn't imply that I will spend every single cent that I earned.

But rather, spend and save some at the same time. So if I were to die tomorrow, at least I have lived today to the fullest.

After the meal in Sushi Tei, we headed to Bugis to get her EU Rail pass.

By the time we reached Bugis, it was pouring like mad...

Roads were partially flooded and we had no umbrella with us.

No choice, we had to borrow an umbrella from Toast Box to cross to the road.

STA is located above the Apple strudel shop.

Sadly, STA does not accept Nets and if Joyce pays using credit card, there will be a 3% admin charge.

So poor Joyce had to brave the rain to Bugis Junction again to withdraw 700 bucks for the pass.

We stayed at STA till 6+pm when the rain got smaller.

Then we headed to NYDC to have some hot beverages to warm ourselves.

We both had hot chocolate with marshmallow and shared a Jamaica Banana cake.

The cake contains rum, fresh banana, dark chocolate and cream. YUMMY!

More juicy story sharing session as well~

It felt so great not having to work and enjoy the nice afternoon with my best friend (minus the heavy downpour part).

Then we parted, and I went to find Dear at his place.

Bought him Subway for his dinner and got him to bring me umbrella as it was still pouring heavily at Bukit Batok.

Later that night, Dragon asked Dear and Adrian out for coffee at the coffee shop near his place.

Dear wanted to return Dragon the PS2 but Dragon was reluctant and acted blur when Dear asked him how much he sold it to me previously.

Well, though he had never used the PS2 but it's not quite right to demand a refund since it was sold to me for 1 yr already.

But Dragon still did not return me the extra 50 bucks which I overpaid him that time and he promised to return it to me...

So Dear got Dragon to help him sell it off instead. It almost turn into a heated argument.. but luckily it didn't...

Haiz.. I wonder whats with pple and money...

Years of friendship/relationship could go into the drain just because of money...

No wonder Buddhism always says that Human is ignorant.

Human gets blinded by lust, power and money.

After millions of years, man sees no improvement in this issue, but got trapped deeper in it.

*Sigh*

Tired...

2010-04-06T23:32:00.003+08:00

Uber tired!!!

Had work and class today...
It totally drained all my energy off...

Ate cheese burger and iced milo during class...
Then tummy ache after the class ended...
When I reached JE MRT station, my tummy starts to ache again...
I thought I could bear with it till I reach home..
But then it got worse while I was waiting for bus...
=(
No choice, I had to rush to the toilet in the station...
Almost crap in my pants... =_______="
I bet it's mild food poisoning...
Must be the cheese burger and iced milo's fault...

Felt so weak after that...
I had to take bus back coz there weren't any cabs around..
=(
*poor me*

Microbiology

2010-04-05T23:41:00.003+08:00

Today is first lab session for this new module..
It's introduction to Microbiology..
I like this module but I hate it that I don't have exemptions to it...
A waste of money and time...

Yueting has exemption, so I have to do lab with another classmate named Amy.
This lab was rather easy... Just gram staining and cells identification...

I will be having classes for the entire week...
Maybe I will skip the Thursday's class...
See how bah...

Tired...

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

-Girlfriends-

I think my girlfriends are uber cute~

They just know what I am thinking at that moment...

That's so sweet and heart warming...

For example: I merely told Aly that I have got my rock. And immediately she knows what I am referring to! I don't even need to explain or put it in layman term! *Pleased*

And Ilona would know what I am thinking about when I start to stone or not responding to her in a conversation... Otherwise she would catch me not paying attention when I give generic responses...

That's so cool~ It's so fortunate to have someone to know and understand you...

Even my bf wouldn't be so sensitive to my moods or thoughts...

My 0.5 carat rock~

2010-04-05T00:39:00.007+08:00

Somehow I felt that this 2 weeks passed like months...
Everyday seems so long.. but weekends are just flying pass without me realising it..
*sulk* I wish that there is long weekend every week!

31 Mar 10 (Wed)
Dear pick me up after work..
He wanted to have dinner @ IMM Banquet, so we headed there from IBP.
Had chicken chop and fish & chips @ only $5.90 each.. and they were quite yummy.
Felt so bloated after the dinner...
I wanted to get mint leaves and lime for the Mohjito.. but mint leaves were sold out in Giant..
So I guess I could only make it on another day..

01 Apr 10 (Thursday)
Had a long day at work..
Though it was april's fool day, nobody had the mood to play any tricks...
I guess that's coz our mood were rather down due to Narene's case..
Only hope that her boss will wake up and stop his nonsense already..

After work, I went to sch to pay course fees...
Felt broke after that..
Dear came to meet me at Tiong Bahru, and we went to TB plaza to have dinner.
Wasn't very hungry, so I got myself a lotus rice and siew mai...

After dinner I reminded Dear abt the SK warehouse sale which starts today..
He wanted to head down but it was already 8+pm.. and that place closes at 9pm..
So he planned to go on Friday..
We went back to dear's place after he bought a mini plant from Giant to decorate his office desk..
Stayed over at his place.

02 Apr 10 (Friday)
Hip Hip Hooray~~ It's public holiday today~~!
Today is Good Friday~ So no work for today, and it contributes to a long weekend~~
I wanted to sleep till the sun shines on my butt.. but dear woke me up at around 12+pm...
He wanted to go to the Soo Kee warehouse sale.. So he woke me up saying that all the jewelleries would be sold out soon~

The Soo Kee warehouse sale is at Kaki Bukit Ave 1..
Rather far away.. =(
It's somewhere ulu in Eunos...
We forgot to check the map before leaving the house.. so when we reached Kaki Bukit, we didn't know which street or avenue to go to..
We tried asking the security guard but he didn't know as well..
So we tried our luck by walking down Kaki Bukit Ave and finally saw the Soo Kee signboard~

Soo Kee had this temporary tent outside it's building for the sale.
I was so glad that it has air con.. otherwise I would melt under the afternoon sun..
It was quite crowded already.. And some people had already bought their stuff..
We went in and the 1st showcase that greeted us was the engagement rings.
Those were priced between $499 - $1000+ (as advertised on the newspaper) ranging from 0.3 to 0.7 carat.
But those were without certificates.. So I walked to check out the other showcases.

The loose diamonds with GIA certs were at the last showcases.
I could hardly see them as there were so many people crowding around.
Some were purchasing, some were just there to obstruct...
I saw the 0.3 ct priced at $2k+ and the 0.4 ct at $3k - 4k+ ...
I felt that the prices were around the same as those in the showrooms...
Dear also felt that the prices weren't any lower...
Finally we managed to get close to the showcases and saw the 50% signboard.
One of the salesmen told us that the prices tagged were already discounted...
So I was quite disappointed and ready to leave...

Me and Dear walked around the place for a while before he decided to see the diamonds again..
This time round, another saleman informed us that the price tags were actually before-discount. Only those 0.9ct and above were tagged with the discounted price...
That got us excited~
=)

We chose the color D - E range, 0.4 - 0.5 ct and very good cut to compare..
The salesman asked for Dear's budget and helped him to narrow down the choices.
He said that between a VS2 and SI1 is quite minimal, and it's not quite possible to see with naked eyes.. but the price differs about $600+
I saw one with VVS2, 0.52 ct, color E and very good cut selling at $7k+
I told dear that I can compromise with a SI1 for a bigger carat, since it is not visible to naked eyes.
Then the salesman showed us one that fits our criteria. =)
Dear decided on that piece after asking for my opinion.

So it's time to choose the setting..
Dear thinks that it is easier for Soo Kee to do the setting since I am there and could to try the different bands on the spot.
Initially I wanted for a Rose Gold band.. but the salesman informed that the rose gold will make the diamond look yellow..
which would be quite a bad choice as the E color would look like a L.
So I agreed to have it on white gold.
I chose the thin band with size 11.
Soo Kee is using Hong Kong sizing, that's why my ring size is 11.
And it would take about 3-4 weeks for the ring ot be ready.
No rush in getting the ring, since my proposal is next year~

Both of us were contented after the ring is bought~
For me, I have no more worries that he might get the wrong ring.
For him, he does not have to crack his brain in chosing a right ring for me and at the same time saved 50% from the sales~

We then went to One Tampines to have late lunch.
Went to Manpuku and ate Boteyju and chicken cutlet omu~ Yumz yumz~
Night was movie session at Dear's place again.

03 Apr 10
Dear went to "Shao Mu" in the morning with his mum. He came home around 11am when I was still asleep.
He ate quite a lot of the food for praying so he don't need lunch already.
He wanted to go JB so I headed home to get my passport and Ringgits.
I packed fried rice for my lunch from Blk 494 Zi Char..
I ate the rice in his car.. The smell of the rice filled the entire car..
Too bad the rice was only fragrant.. but not yummy... and it had very little ingredients...
I am so not going back there to eat ever again...

Went Holiday Plaza to shop and was trapped there by the heavily rain...
While waiting, we had hot fudge sundae and ice cream cone from McDonalds...
I must comment that McD in Malaysia is sooo much cheaper than Sg~!
One meal costs only about SGD4 as compared to the SGD6.95 in Sg...
BOO to Sg McD...!

Next we went to City Square.
The 1st thing we had was the Shih Ling Fried Chicken Cutlet and Oyster Mee Sua~
They added sambal, black vinegar, parsley and white pepper to the Mee Sua which made it uber tasty!!
Me and Dear were almost fighting for the bowl of mee sua... hahaha..
The fried cutlet was not cut into pieces like how they did in Sg.. In Malaysia, they serve the entire cutlet in a paper bag.
We really enjoy chomping on the piping hot cripsy cutlet.
It's cripsy on the outside, and uber juicy on the inside.. yumz~~
They also retained some of the ribs bones in the cutlet (exactly like the Taiwan's style).
Love the chicken and the mee sua~~
That settled for our dinner.. Both of us were too bloated to have dinner.

Night time was MJ session with mum at home.

04 Apr 10
Had brunch at Blk 493 before we decided to pay Adrian and Lynne a visit.
Dear went Clementi to buy terrapins and fish to set free again..
This time I did not follow him as it was drizzling.. So I stayed in the car and played game..
Next we headed to Adrian's place.
His baby is so big already~
The little Kieran is so active and alert... And since he had grew so much, it's quite tiring to carry him after a while..
=P
I bought him a little polo tee but it seems too big for him at the moment. He will be able to wear it in a few months' time. =)

We send Dear's mum to the airport in the evening.
She is going to Korea for a 7 days trip with her sister's family.
She said that the tour package costs $1666 from Chan's Brothers.
I guess it's a more economy package as they were taking korean airline and it was not a direct flight to Korea.
***********************************************************************************
Baby helped me fixed my netbook and now the internet explorer is working fine..
Otherwise I wouldn't be able to blog now..

I will be having labs and classes from Monday till Saturday for this week..
Such a lousy timetable!!
I am monday blueing already!
I wouldn't be able to see baby till saturday... upsetted...
Gonna miss him lots!

Scheming old boss

2010-04-02T21:40:00.002+08:00

Well... there are so many scheming and useless managers and directors out there...
One of my colleague was made to resign just because she refused to be exploited by her director..
Fairness? I doubt there is any in this society...
Only the scheming and cunning will survive in the coporate society...
Coz all those up there are either blind or deaf to employ and promote those trash...

Planning

2010-03-31T02:43:00.003+08:00

Joyce is back from Japan~
She helped me buy a bottle of Bacardi from the duty free~
Costs me only $23~ So happy~ Now with my cocktail shaker, I can make Mohjito !
Min also helped me buy the truffle oil~~
Wow~ All the good stuff in my hands~ truffle + Mohjito~~ *Heavenly*

I asked Dear dear abt his marriage plan again.
Again he started to joke abt it etc.. Took me quite long to get him to talk seriously..
He still hoped to have baby immediately after marriage, so he kept asking when I can have a baby instead of telling me his planned wedding date.
I told him that it is not possible for me to get pregnant before year 2013 coz I would still be studying.
Hence the earliest we can have a baby is end of year 2013.

I told him again that I wanted to have 1-2 years of marriage life before planning for a baby.
He replied me the same way as well.. saying that we are already having the couple life now..
=P
I insist on the 1-2 yrs of marriage life coz we need to adapt to it before going on to the next stage of life..
Especially parenthood is a no joking matter.
Dear then finally said that we could get married this yr.. But there is not enough time to plan for wedding this yr!
We need to get auspicious dates, book venue, customary stuff, photo shoots etc etc...
So we came to an agreement that it would probably be end of next year (2011).

Then I asked when is he going to propose to me..
Hahaha... *I-am-such-an-impatient-girl*
Dear replied that he will propose when we want to get married.
I strongly objected to that idea, and said that we could not plan anything unless he proposes and ask for permission from my parents!
Finally he said that he will ask my parents 1st before he proposes to me in the beginning of next yr.
*Happy*

Being satisfied with the answer, I started to ask him abt my ring~ =P
I asked if he knew my ring size... He said "Size 3"!!
I was so anxious when I heard that! OMG... I have to do something before he gets me such a mini ring!
So I said that how could he still not know abt my ring size when I had printed the ring measuring ruler and guide for him!
Plus, I already know he is size 10!
Dear was laughing and he asked me to pass him the ruler.
He then joking tried to measure my little pinky and middle finger and thumb..
=______="
Finally he measured my ring finger. I thought I saw a little blush in his face...
He seemed kinda shy? happy? nervous? I am not too sure.. but it's definitely not the ego-look which he always carry.
Now he knows that I am ring size 6-6.5, so no reason to buy the wrong size~

Me, being an impatient person, immediately told him that I want my ring to be made of Rose Gold; the rose gold ring which I went to tried in Lee Hwa with Joyce.
He was surprized that I had secretly went to see the rings already.
I told him that I could fit 0.6 carat but I don't need such a big diamond, so I hope to get a 0.4 carat~
Again, he joked that he will get me a 0.1 carat...
I don't need a diamond with special cut. Just one with good color grade, 0.4+ carat, good clarity and round will do.

After listening to all my expectations, he asked me to write it down on a paper.
I refused and made him remember all that I listed.. =P
He joked that he will get a "Louse" Gold ring from Soo Kee...
*faintz* but I believed that he had remembered it in his heart~
I am so so excited now!
Hope that my proposal is a romantic one!

Things get better~

2010-03-29T01:00:00.007+08:00

Weekend was good~ Coz things got better between US again~

Friday 26Mar10

Went to work and had a happy day coz Ilona is back in office~
It's so nice to have a neighbour to talk to !
Really miss her a lot!

Dear agreed to go food hunting with me after work.
I went to his place after work coz he is heading home from Bugis and he didn't drive that day too.
I was still a little pissed with him when I saw him.. but after a while I cooled down..
Seeing him show enthusiasm in the food hunt made all my anger gone within seconds..
Guess that's my soft spot..

I showed him the map which I found online.
It's Sunset Grill & Bar, located in Piccadilly Road.
Actually it's at the Singapore Flying Club near Seletar Air Base.
I searched the GPS and surprisingly it has the bar's location.
So we set off from his place around 8pm.

The place was super ulu, as warned by Ilona, and parts of the road in the Seletar Camp did not have lights.
Although GPS showed us the way, we found some parts of the road were blocked and had to find alternative route in.
Finally, we saw 2 vehicles in front and I told dear to follow them.
My instinct told me that they were heading to the same destination as well~
=)
Sure enough, we reached a pitch dark place parked with lotsa cars.
Beside it was the flying club, so there were lotsa private planes.
We saw the lights and went over.
The Sunset Grill & Bar was packed with people~! wow...

Their service was prompt, so we got a table beside a huge tree.
The manager suggested that we order the appetizer first as it will take some time for them to prepare the food due to the crowd.
Bearing Ilona's warning in mind, I ordered the level 2 buffalo wings (half dozen).
Ilona mentioned that level 2 is very spicy, and level 3 was too spicy to enjoy the taste of the wings...
By the way, the price of the wings depends on the level as well. The higher the level, the pricier it is.
So level 2 is ard $18++ for half a dozen.

Then we ordered 2 glasses of Tiger beer ($5.50++ each) and a Fish & Chips ($15.50++) to share.
Dear was complaining that the food is too pricey for such an ulu location..
I tried to convince him that since there are so many people patronising such an ulu place, and there are more people queuing for seats, I bet the food is good.
We waited for quite some time before the beer arrived, and then followed by the buffalo wings.
Surprisingly, the buffalo wings were piping hot~ I could literally see the steam from the wings.

We were hungry already, so we tucked in to the wings.
Hmmm... well.. it wasn't spicy... I could have tried level 5 or 6 instead~
But since it's our 1st time there, we shall just enjoy the very mild spicy wings.
I must say that their wings are bigger than the ones in KPO, well marinated and the chilli sauce is good too.
The celery goes very well with the tar tar sauce. It sort of refreshes the mouth before you go for the 2nd wing.
Yum yum~

Dear finished all his 3 wings when I just started on my 2nd..
Finally, the fish & chips arrived.
Wow.. the portion is big!
The fish was about 25 cm long and 1 inch thick! The batter was rather thin and the fish is really fresh~
Too bad the batter turned soft after a while.. If they made it beer battered, it would be even better~
Due to the large serving and the beer, me and dear were so bloated after the meal~
The total bill was $45. I think it is reasonable and worth it~
So I will definitely go back to try their level 5 or 6 wings!

I did not take any photos of the place and food as it was quite dark and I didn't bring my camera along.
I will snap some picz if I go there again~

Sat 27Mar10

Woke up around 12pm today...
Went to West mall to have brunch @ the food court.
After which, we went to buy fish and terrapins to set them into the wild.
Dear wanted to do some good deeds, so he decided to "Fang Sheng" the terrapins.
He bought 8 terrapins ($24) while I bought $4 worth of little fish.
We went to Bukit Batok Nature Reserve and set the animals free into the huge pond.

After that we headed to JB~
I was happily playing with my netbook during the jam at the causeway..
Until this old Toyota Camry purposely cut into dear's lane in the custom.
The driver must have thought by doing that, he could cut the queue and made his way into the lane.
Dear couldn't be bothered giving way, since the driver was so abrupt, and continued driving.
Dear's side mirror knocked the Camry's mirror and flipped it outward.
This made the driver angry. He quickly caught up with us and blocked Dear's car.
This stupid act literally blocked the entire lane..

The woman (aka old hag) whom I assumed is in her forties, wind down the window, glared at us and forcefully adjusted the mirror back in place.
Well, we could be bothered with such unreasonable old hag so we ignored her.
This made her fumed into madness. She was waving her hand and scolding us.. Well.. I guess her anger had overwhelmed her brain so she didn't realised that we could hear nothing in our car.
She just made herself look ugly and embarrassed everyone else in the car.
Probably she thought that we would be afraid of her and apologise.. so that she could demand for money..
The other old man at the back seat also wind down the window to check if there is any damage to their car.
DUDE!
ME, being SK for 25 years, is no push over.
I was just glared at the old hag and showed her my black face. I purposely asked if they have any intention of moving off, if not just back off and stop blocking the entire lane. That would informed them that I am not at all apologetic and they should stop the nuisance already.
Well, she is OLD enough to know that creating a scene would only reflect how uncivilised she is (probably that's the fact), and how ignorant she is in terms of traffic rules.
And best of all, Me with no driving license, know that it's their problem if they intend to cut and squeeze into the lane abruptly.
Plus, it's only the mirror flipping outward! Oh COME ON! Move on! No damage done!
It's just your ego that you can't get over with, DUDE!
I am sorry that your husband's (I assumed) driving skills is so handicapped (even at his age already) and resulted in the flipping of the side mirror... *rolled eyes*
=______________="

Soon, the amused policeman came over to move the road block so that the old Camry could drive into the lane.
The car did drove off in the end. But Dear was quiet throughout the incident.
Guess he was angry? Couldn't be bothered? Thinking of who's fault it is?
The hot-tempered-ME was still cursing and swearing till we reached the middle of the causeway.

What's worse was that the old Camry went to the same petrol kiosk in JB...
The OLD HAG glared at me again..
You wanna fight? Bring it on! You OLD HAG don't mess with SK!
This time, I was pissed. So I rolled my eyes at her.
Well, I guess she didn't expect to receive such reaction, so she backed off and went off.
She must have thought that we youngsters would panicked and beg for forgiveness..
If what I thought was true, I would really pity her..
Such an OLD woman with such ignorance and childishness...
OLD HAG, if you have so much time to spent on this stupid incident, maybe you should spent the time on BOTOX instead.. It would be more beneficial...
Plus, I saw the boot of the car... It's full of dents!
So obviously the driver SUCKS! Can't blame us for not acting the way you wanted then~

Okay, incident over.
We went to Holiday plaza and dear had his hair cut.
His new hair cut looks good on him~ =)
I love guys with neat clean cut~
Next, we went Watson's to shop.
I bought tampons and eyeliner at a lower price! While dear got his hair spray.
Then we had dinner at Pizza Hut~
Yummy and cheap! 2 set meals @ only RM22.

Why?

2010-03-26T00:06:00.003+08:00

I wonder...
Y can't things be fair??
Things just can't be fair.. isn't it?

Why must I be expected to do stuff which he himself can't...
Why can't he put himself in my shoes? I don't like it..

I appreciate that he always fetch me home..
So I made an effort to give him a ride today so that he doesn't have to squeeze in the train from Bugis..
But why a nice day would turn out this way??
What did I do to deserve this??
But why am I the only one who keeps questioning myself??
He doesn't think so much, does he?
Nothing but life and death matters to him anyway...
So why I am caring so much??
Why am I putting in so much effort for??
I hate it that way..
But still.. I love him.. Don't I? That's why I do all this for...
Leaving all the hurt and upset in this blog.. and hope for things to get well tmr...

Dear god.. pls make things work...
it upsets me when I see that he don't seem to treasure me..
Why is it that things got so well in the past few days but suddenly all jump back to zero again...?
I am so scared.. so scared that things would turn out the way I hope it would..

I wanna to be with him forever..
But does he wan it that way too?
If he does, why can't he treat me as his precious one? Why can't he give in to me first whenever we quarrel?
Or rather prevent the quarrel from happening right at the 1st place?
I don't get it...
I don't understand him...

I am so scared that one day I might just escape again...
Dear god, pls help me..
I really hope things will go well between us...
Like a lovely dovey couple...
No more quarrels...

*tired*

It ended up as a lousy day...
1st with menses cramp.. and now this...

I only hope that he will msg/call me tmr 1st...
It's fat hope right?
haiz...
What have I done to deserve this...?

New Bento Creation

2010-03-24T00:54:00.008+08:00

Took MC to stay at home today...
All thanks to the UTI..
Well.. at least it's better now..

Since I was free today, I decided to try making a bento for baby and papa~
I had the idea of creating a mushroom-shaped rice (the mushroom from Mario land).
Then I will fill up the rest of the space with greens, scrambled egg, meat patty and bacon-wrapped enoki.

I went to the supermarket to get 200g of fresh minced pork. I hated frozen meat coz they somehow have a porky stench.. so I insist on using fresh meat.
I couldn't get broccoli, so I replaced it with pea shoots.
Bought bacon as well. I chose the back bacon instead of streaky bacon coz they are less fatty.

Ok. Once home, I marinated the minced pork with these seasonings:
-Light soya sauce
-Dark soya sauce
-Sesame oil
-Coarse Black pepper
-Corn flour
Then I put the meat into the fridge to chill for 2 hrs.

Cooked the Japanese rice with more water this time. (I added too little water last time)
=)
Finally I get my fluffy white rice~
I mixed sakura powder (actually it's sweet fish flakes from the Jap store) to part of the rice to create the pink rice effect.
The other portion of the rice I left them white.
I scrambled 2 eggs with some fresh milk and salt.
Then I rolled the enoki in a piece of bacon and secure the roll with toothpick and season with a bit of black pepper.
No salt was added as the bacon was already salty.
Put it into the oven toaster for 2.5 mins.
Next I stir fry the pea sprouts with scallions and oyster sauce.
Finally I took out the marinated minced meat from the fridge.
I stir some chopped fried red onions with olive oil.
After it is fragant, I remove it from the heat and mixed it into the minced meat.
I divided the meat into 6 portions and tossed them in my hands to create the patty.
Make a dent in the middle of the patty to ensure even cooking.
Heat olive oil in the pan, and pan fry the patty till both sides are browned.
Add some water (approx. 15ml) into the pan and cover the lid to steam the patty.
This will "lock" the juice in the patty and prevent charred patty with the middle portion uncooked.

Once done, I arrange the items into the bento box~
Lastly, put some mayo onto the meat patty for the final touch.
=)
Yummy!
Baby commented that the presentation was pretty~
And he gobbled the whole bento within 10 mins~
=)
He said that the bacon with enoki and meat patty is really yummy!
*Happy* & *Proud*

With his compliment, I shall experiment on another bento over this weekend~
=)

Feeling Blissed~

2010-03-23T00:53:00.005+08:00

Went to look for dear dear after work today~
Before that I went to the west mall library to source for travel guides on Hong Kong and Taiwan..
But books in that library are very limited.. so I went to popular bookshop to buy one instead.
I got myself a travel guide to Taiwan @ $16+.. Find it quite useful ~

After getting the book, I headed to MOS to get a MOS cheese burger and fries.
It's been years since I last had MOS cheese burger.. Missed it a lot!
Dear messaged me to go west mall for dinner as he had just got back from his training in Bugis.
But since I had already packed my dinner, he decided to buy bread from breadtalk.
I was stoning while waiting for dear dear and my food.. to the extent that I didn't noticed him walking towards me.. It was until he reached right in front of me, then I realised it.. hahaha...
*Stoned*

Once back to his place, I hurried to bath and dry my hair before I indulge in my yummy dinner~
I love to dip the chunky fries into the MOS burger's meat sauce~ Love the fries with MOS ketchup and chilli sauce as well~
I offered dear one bite of my burger... and he took such a gigantic bite!! I saw 1/4 of my burger gone.. and the meat sauce was all over his cheek...
=_____________="
so greedy... like a small boy boy... cute ~
I guess he likes the burger.. coz he hadn't tried it before.
I noticed him eyeing at my burger after that.. haha.. so I offered him a small bite this time~

For me, I love ALL the regular food items sold in MOS Singapore~
Here's the ranking of my favorites:
1) Ebi Rice burger
2) Chilli Dog or Yakiniku Rice Burger (provided the crew did not over cook the beef)
3) MOS burger series (w cheese or spicy)

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

Later the night I told baby that I am very happy recently~
He asked me why..
I told him it's because he has been treating me nicely and doting on me~ So I am happy~
He smiled.
I added that if he could fart lesser than I would be even happier~
Hahaha...
He said that he can't control that.. haha... well I told him to eat less onions and beans~

Love him lots!

He has been quite enthu in the HK trip and offered to help in the itinerary planning~
So glad that he is helping~~!
=)

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

I think I have gotten UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)...
=____________="
There's a burning sensation when I pee..
And I had the urgent urination feeling, but little amount of urine was passed out each time..
Frequency of urination has also increased...
So based on my knowledge... 99% confirmed that I am having UTI...

UTI is quite common in females...
Almost all female will contract UTI once in their entire life...
Males are lucky.. because their urinary tract is so much longer and hence quite uncommon for them to contract UTI...
=(

I think I will consult a doctor for antibiotics if it doesn't get better by tmr.

UTI BEGONE!

Bento Experiment

2010-03-22T02:39:00.004+08:00

Aly, Yuhua and Me have been rather into Bento making recently..
So we went to Daiso a couple of times to get the ingredients and stationery.

I decided to make a onigiri bento on Sat (20Mar10) for me and baby to eat~
And this is how it turns out:

I made the bear seaweed from the seaweed cutter:
This is seaweed from Daiso. I added black sesame and sesame oil to add extra flavor to it.

This vegetarian bento set is for mama~

Learning point from this bento experiment:
1) The rice I bought was "old" rice, so next time I will need to add more water when I cook it
2) One of the onigiri mixture is very salty, so I should add lesser of it
3) I should find out how to make a chick out of the hard boiled egg
4) The onigiri with corn tastes good but I need to experiment more flavors for my onigiri. (etc. mayo ham, peppered tuna flakes, bonito flakes etc.)
5) Buy fresh cherry tomatoes
6) New Moon taiwan sausages really goes well with the rice

Next bento experiment shall be scheduled soon!

Crystal Jade Steamboat

2010-03-22T02:10:00.007+08:00

The girls decided to have a outing again~
This time round we went to the Crystal Jade steamboat @ Holland V on 17Mar10

They have 3 dining slots: 5-8pm, 8.15 - 10pm, 10.15 - 1am
All 3 slots have different pricing.
So we took the 8.15 - 10pm slot @ $19.80++
We have Narene, Wanyi, Joyce, Alyssa, Min, Yuhua, and Janice. Ilona had flu so she couldn't join us.

The food is not bad~
I love the prawns which they put on skewers. It makes them easier to peel.
Of coz we had lotsa beef, pork and my fav, Tang Hoon~
They have sesame paste and I love the taste of beef with it~
Dipping the beef in vinegar with chilli also enhances the taste~
I love the mala soup base~ While the girls who can't eat spicy food enjoyed the pork bone soup..
I didn't like the pork bone soup as it has a very porky taste...
This normal occurs when they didn't pre-blanch the bones before they boil the soup or they didn't add spices to cover the pork smell..

What makes the steamboat attractive is that they serves unlimited xiao long bao!!
Plus unlimited drinks (e.g home cooked barley, coke, tea etc.) are included as well~
We 8 girls cleared 18 baskets of xiao long baos! And narene and Min munched on the fried mantou~
Yumz~

I am sure I will make another visit there soon!

Happy for Joyce

2010-03-18T23:55:00.000+08:00

Joyce is now officially "certified' to grow fat and gain weight..

She went for pregnancy test yesterday morning, and was tested positive!

Congrats!! It's quite fast though~ She was only married in Jan this year and now she is pregnant!

And by Dec this year, there will be a little baby for me to pinch!! =P

She said that Travis was over the moon when he knew that she was pregnant. =)

Travis actually panicked when joyce showed him the test kit and said that it is positive.

It's quite amusing to see guys who had always acted so manly, to suddenly get nervous and the joy exploding on their faces..

It reminds me of the Dads I saw in KK hospital. They were pushing newborn in the trolley so gently and carefully as though they were handling activated bomb...

I wonder why can't guys be always so gentle, attentive and caring.. Must they only show it only 3 times in their entire life??

If you wonder which 3 times in their lives, they are:

1) When they first got a girlfriend

2) On the day of marriage

3) When they have their 1st newborn (subsequent babies will not get such good and attentive treatment...)

Well.. of coz there are exceptions in this world, but generally guys behave like that...

Probably it's the Y-chromosome thing..

According to my theory: since the Y-chromosome does not carry much genetic information, so the XY gene is obviously more inferior to the XX genes. And which is why guys tends to be "stupid", insensitive, slower in detecting emotional changes etc.

Ultimately, when it comes to babies, their only contribution is the minute, haploid, protein-filled, sperm...

The rest of the responsibilities and sufferings come from the mother.

So guys, stop wondering why kids are more attached to the mothers. It's time to take actions.

Back to Joyce, it's good to see that she is happy with the pregnancy.

She is willing to give up things just for the family. For this baby, she will have to give up the trip to Hong Kong and London.

Oh my.. I would never do that. Maybe I am not THAT family-orientated.

To me, I would rather accomplished my goals and targets (e.g visit places which I had not gone before) before I settle down to be a mum.

Life will never be the same after the little life is born. It's a lifetime commitment to have a kid, and there is no turning back.

Same as getting a husband, it's a lifetime choice as well.

I wouldn't want to marry a husband who don't see me as the priority part of his life.

I don't want a husband who would disrespect me, or cheat on me, or be rude to me.

I want a husband who can be soul mate, my best friend, my love one and my child's great dad.

Probably due to my idealist character, I feel that there is a limit to how much I can compromise, and I believe that we should have equal treatment to each other.

So if my husband/bf gives me crap, he better be prepared to receive a whole load of shit from me.

And my patience limit is already quite generous, so if he is able to push it off the limit, I would "abandon ship" when he least expected it.

Being such an idealist (probably not a very good thing), I only wish to have a loving relationship forever.

I am not materialistic, all I want is the emotional support and the love, attention, care and concern.

The so called "Tender loving care" !

If my bf can fulfil these criteria, I am so going to stick to him forever!

Stressed

2010-03-17T17:11:00.000+08:00

Was feeling uber stressed out for these 2 days...
There are 2 lab reports that were required to be handed in on 16 mar... and the worst was that all the questions look greek to me...
I stayed up till 3am on monday trying to figure out what exactly the questions are referring to...
But failed...
So I gave up.. thinking that I will hand in the reports one day later and check out with yueting on how to do them...

Lab on tuesday night was stressed as well..
As usual the lab lecturer wanted us to do the experiment at the fastest speed... This lab was on yeast and ether... the smell of the ether was really stingy to the nose...
We ended the lab at 8.15pm.. which was pretty early...
So after I packed up, I asked yueting about the reports..
As soon as I saw her reports... I knew that I will never be able to complete them... There are freaking too many formulas...
So in my mind, I planned to stay up the entire night just to figure out and complete them..

Feeling totally stressed out, including the office archiving work which I have to complete by this friday, I felt totally drained.. Luckily I need not go for monitoring this week.. otherwise I might not be able to cope..
So I asked baby to fetch me from sch...
Waited 15 mins for him to arrive while I stoned outside the sch...
After I got into his car, I just laid back and stoned...

Baby noticed that somethind was not right, so he asked me what's wrong..
I replied "nothing".. coz I was too drained to want to explain...
He was not convinced so he asked why I was so quiet..if I was hungry etc..
I replied "nothing"...

When we reached his place, I went straight to bath...
I needed to feel refreshed...
During the shower, I figured that I will not be able to produce a good report even if I stayed up the entire night.. and I believed that 2 reports should be weigh much percentage in the total module score..
So might as well I just skipped these 2 reports and work harder on the remaining 3...
I felt much better after making this decision..
Although this may seem so loser... but I guess that what I could do now..

After the bath, I grabbed the water bottle and dark chocolate from the side table...
Found a spot on his bed and started munching the dark chocolate..
Comfort food is so much in need at that moment...
Baby saw that I was so quiet, so he suggested watching a HongKong comedy...
He made me sit beside him and hugged me while we watched the movie..

I felt so much better after a while..
Really grateful to baby who showed care and comfort me when I most needed him..
*hugz*

New Camera - Canon Ixus 100 IS

2010-03-16T01:00:00.003+08:00

Went to Singtel Hello shop on last Friday to sign Broadband on Mobile..
They have a promo now for the IT show period..
I signed the 4mbps @ $51/mth and it comes with a Samsung while N150 netbook...
=)
Sounds not bad~ and it comes with a web cam as well..
Can't wait for it to be ready for redemption!

Went to the IT show on Sat afternoon.. before that baby drove me to Bukit Merah for lunch..
His temp office is located there, and he finds the food there quite yummy..
I had the Crispy Chicken Lor Mee and its not bad~ Too bad I forgot to take a photo of the food..
Baby had the Nasi Lemak, not bad too.. the rice is very fragrant~
Back to the IT show... Suntec was practically flooded with pple..
It took us 15 mins just to get to the 4th level...
5mins to reach the Canon booth.. only to find that they don't sell ixus 100 there..
Such a wasted trip...
So another 15mins to get out of suntec...

One comment for the IT show... "Chaotic"
=___________="
Pple are just kiasu... bringing kids to add on to the human traffic...
Out of 100 pple there, only abt 15 pple purchased...
The rest are the obstructions...
*Irritated*
I will nvr go to the IT show ever again...

I got baby to drive me to Sim Lim square...
Thank goodness that they still sell Ixus 100~
I went to 4 shops to check out the prices..
1st shop quoted $365, 2nd was $350, 3rd was $329 and last was $330..
So I decided on the 3rd shop.. named Song Brothers
The guy refused to throw in more freebies.. I guess coz Baby wasn't very polite to him...
If its me and my girls, we would be able to get more freebies~~
So the camera comes with a canon case and 1 8GB memory card.
I got the gold colored camera~
Loved it!!

After seeing the effects and functions of the camera, baby was quite interested in it as well..
and prompted me to try out the camera...
*smirk* I had already told him that a proper camera is essential~! Now then he believes me..
Now I can take as many photos as I like~ and then edit them in Photo Scape~! The program that includes lomo effect as well!

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

Last tues' conflict was resolved on wed..
We came to an agreement that he should not raise his voice at me and then I will listen to what he has to say...
He is just so like me...
Behaving so much like me...
Throwing tantrum like me...
Saying pple stupid.. like how I always do...
But he is more self-centered as compared to me...
So we tend to be logger heads when our views clash...

I know that he did cared for me.. but just not the way I want it...
So at times I dun feel his love..
My love language is more of the words of affirmation and physical touch..
But his love language is act of service...
Well... we will work things out...
As long as I know he loves me~
=)

He raised his voice...

2010-03-09T17:09:00.000+08:00

Upsetted...

He raised his voice at me again...
I wonder how many times must I tell him that I hate pple raising their voices at me.. especially him!
He, whom I love, shouldn't be the one to be hurting me...
He, who is my boyfriend, should be understanding towards me...
But why is He, the one who is supposed to love me, is the one who raised his voice at me yet again...

He didn't lower his voice when I asked him to..
Instead, he shouted at me...
I wonder how many times must he hurt me...
How long does it takes to let him understand and care for me...
I believed that I am so much more understanding and accomodating than other girls out there...
But why doesn't he realise this? Why doesn't he appreciate this?
Must he take all my love for granted?

Sometimes I felt so exhausted... Trying to explain to him... letting him know how I feel..
How I wish I could be like all other girls, to just throw their temper as and when they like.. but their bf will still give in to them...
I only wish to have a caring and loving bf to pamper me...
Is it a lot to ask for?

A bf who will greet me "good morning" and "good night" everyday...
A bf who will notice that I had a bad day and then try to cheer me up..
A bf who will give me surprizes once in a while..
A bf who knows that I love to glaze at stars and fly a kite...
A bf who will apologise and make up to me when I am angry...
A bf who would share his happiness and unhappiness with me...
A bf who will show me respect and never ever raise his voice at me...

Please don't keep keep making me upset...
I don't like the feeling that other guys are more caring and sweet than my bf...
It makes me feel more upset in this way...
Times when he keep repeatedly do things that I don't like, I felt very exhausted in the relationship...
Times I felt like maybe I should stop torturing myself... and give up like how I used to do it...
But I don't want to keep changing bf... Which is why I don't want to give him up...

I felt that he is different.. and I love him...
But I really don't like my loved one hurting me...
I like the way he makes me smile.. the crappy stuff that he does to entertain me..
I like the way he protects me in a crowded place..
I like the way he listens to me complaining abt things that spoils my day...
I like the way he made me feel that I am important to him when he pays attention to me...
I like it when he hugs and cuddle me...

Why can't he be nice always?
Why must he choose to hurt me at times?
Doesn't he knows that he is hurting my feelings, and why doesn't he feel the pain that I am going through?

My weird boyfriend

2010-03-08T01:34:00.002+08:00

Sometimes I must admit that my boyfriend is weird...

Weird... as in the way he react.. the way he treats me...
So unusual..

For example, when he made me angry, or we quarrelled, we will not talk to each other..
After a while when he cools down, he will try to do funny things/actions or talk funny stuff to get my attention.. Probably hoping that I had also cooled down and will respond to his funny acts..
But.. little did he realize that I take a longer time to cool down or I need him to apologize to me if he made me angry...
He always think that everything will be fine after a while of cold war..
But for me, I believed that we should talk and solve the issue instead of just letting it pass.. It's unhealthy for the relationship.. And things will build up eventually..

So here's the weird part of him...

After his failed attempt to get my attention or tried to test the water to see if I had cooled down, he would get angry...
Probably angry that I am still angry or his failed attempt to "cheer" me up with his funny acts..
Then he will throw temper and do irritating things like switching the channel of the TV (if we are watching) or walk away...
All these acts which will almost 100% irritate me more, resulted in me being angry with his weird behaviour instead of the original issue..
Then after a while, he will try his weird acts again to re-test the water... and the cycle goes on..

=______________="

Unless I give in and respond to him or I break the ice, the cold war will not end..
I had told him many times that if I am upset or angry, he could cheer me up by giving me a hug or kiss, or at least give in to me first and apologise...
I am no a unreasonable person.. I will definitely apologise if it's my fault..
He is just so stubborn to refuse to do so...
If I can learn that's his way of breaking the ice, why can't he learn that I need his hug and kiss to cheer me up?

My boyfriend is just weird...
To a extent that sometimes I find it adorable (coz it's like a kid throwing tantrum), but sometimes I find it so uber annoying...

What to do? His is my boyfriend... and I love him...
So I will learn to love his flaws and hopefully he will learn to give in to me more..

Just hope he will treasure me more than money...

Camera

2010-03-07T14:01:00.002+08:00

I have been wanting to buy a camera since 2008...
But till now I hadn't get 1 yet...
It's either I don't like the available design, or it's out of budget..
Aly and the others encouraged me to get a DSLR.. but then I think that now it's not the time for me to get a DSLR..
firstly, the price is out of budget.
Secondly, I don't like bulky stuff...
Thirdly, DSLR is hard to maintain..
Fourth, DSLR needs a lot of time to experiment and learn... which I don't have the time now to do so..
Therefore, I will only get a DSLR after I graduate~

For now, I am aiming for a compact digital camera.
I only look at canon cameras coz I think that canon cameras are of better quality..
Other brands may have more functions etc.. but somehow they will have the cons which I totally dislike..
For example samsung, I hated it's color...
Sony is sucky in all ways.. especially shutter speed..

Recently canon has a new model Ixus 105 is..
It's a slight upgrade to the canon Ixus 95 is..
I hated ixus 95 coz of it's casing... it's too plastic... and the paint will probably come off within months.. but it's shutter speed is good.
For Ixus 100, the casing is good.. but the shutter speed sucks...
Now for Ixus 105, I hadn't try it out.. So I am planning to go to Courts to see the design and the functions of the model..

People with no moral..

2010-03-05T10:37:00.003+08:00

Was pissed...

Damn pissed...

Wonder why does such pple even exist on earth... They existence on earth only serve to be a trash or pollution...
pple with no moral..
Educated pple with no moral... making their doings more sinned...

This is what happened...
I was waiting for cab in the morning...
Seeing that it's the shift changing period, there will be very few cabs around, I decided to call a cab..
The operator informed that the cab (no. 8086) will arrive in 5 -7 mins..
After 10 mins, the cab still didn't arrive, so I called comfort Cab again.. only to realise that there is no more cab booking under my name...
Puzzled...
So I called for another cab.. which will take 7 - 10 mins to arrive...

Just after I hang up the phone, I saw the cab (8086) drive pass with a fat woman in it...
DAMN! That woman must have stolen my on-call cab!!
Because if the cab uncle cancels my booking, the operator will call to inform and replace another cab for me!!
But my booking just disappeared!
So the only reason is that fatso pretended to be me and got onto the cab from another side of the road!!!
Bloody hell!
I wonder if she has been brought up by a pig or what!?! No moral at all!!!
I was so pissed...

I wouldn't blame the cab uncle coz he wouldn't know how I look like...
So it's all the fatso!!!

What made things worse was the 2nd cab didn't come... The operator called me to inform that they will replace another cab for me...
DAMN!
So I was pissed and I decided to cancel all the booking...

Thanks to pple with no moral.. It spoilt my morning@!

Big fat fingers

2010-03-04T00:06:00.002+08:00

This afternoon me, Joyce, Aly and Yuhua went IMM for lunch
Ate at the 7 storey hainan cafe~ The ipoh horfun is not bad~

Later me pulled Joyce to Lee Hwa to check out the diamond rings~~
Hehehe... 1st time trying!!
Saw the destiny range and tried out the 0.41, 0.47 and 0.6 carats rings
WOW~~~ VVS1 ranges are just beautiful~~~!

Thanks to my big fat fingers (joyce said that it's an advantage), the 0.41 carat looks so small on my finger~~
Hohoho... so I tried the 0.47... still small...
So the nice lady showed me the 0.6 carat..
WOOOOOOOOOOOO~~
Cool~! It fits nicely on my finger~~~
but.. the price shot up to 13K !! *faintz*
I think its too ex for a proposal ring.. I rather use the 13K to buy solid gold bars~~ wahaha~~

I saw the new design from Lee Hwa...
It has the diamond on the Rose gold ring~~
I LIKE!!!
It's unique as compared to the typical white gold ring~~
I soooo love the ROSE gold ring~~!

I wonder if he knows...

Felt Loved

2010-03-03T00:17:00.002+08:00

Today I felt loved~

No work today, so spent the afternoon watching 海派甜心 and sourcing for hotels in Macau..
I did found a few nice ones but I will research more before deciding..
=)

My head is filled with dim sum and Portuguese egg tarts~~!
hehehe..
*eating yu sheng now* mama brought 2 sets of yu sheng back home.. so my everyday dinner is self-mixed yu sheng~~ hahhaa... can't get the CNY off me..

Weather nowdays are so freaking hot...
35 degrees...
I am so going to melt under the heat...

Went to sch for lab in the evening..
Lab was tough... coz the lecturer is so like YY...
He keeps ordering us ard.. making us so super stressed...
Booooooo........ I am going to give him a bad rate in the feedback form!

Baby msg me ard 9.20pm asking me when I off from sch..
=)
So happy that he is fetching me!~
Used to take it for granted that he should fetch me home from sch..
But then I realised that it's tiring for him to drive to and fro when he could only got home ard 7pm...
So I thanked him for fetching me~
And I felt loved that he came to fetch me without having me to ask him...
=)
*hugz*

Baby told me that he will be registering for the Sep intake of the Feng Shui class..
In this case he will not miss any lessons due to the travel~

Holiday Plans

2010-03-02T01:01:00.002+08:00

I am interested in going to HK since 2009 and finally I made up the mind to go!

I told baby that I will treat him to HK for his bday and then he can treat me to Taiwan (since he is dying to go there) for my birthday!
So I went to check Jetstar and it happened to have a promo!

It cost only $319 to Taipei and $223 to Macau~
So we decided to go Macau + HK in Jun and Taiwan in Aug.
We booked 05 - 12 Jun for HK and 05 - 14 Aug for Taiwan via Jetstar.

Being uber excited abt the HK trip, I was practically spending the whole of today researching on the places of interests in HK and the various hotels..
Basically I decided to Lantau island, Ocean Park, Madame Tussauds, The Peak and Women Street.
Baby is agreeable to that~ But detailed itinerary is still pending for more research.. especially for the macau part..

Baby wanted to sign up for the April in take for SP's feng shui course which will commerce on 13 Apr... So today he asked if we could go HK in first week of April instead...
Well.. I will check with jetstar to see if the dates could be amended...
I only worry that I will be damn broke coz I am paying sch fees this month...
See how it goes bah~

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

Went for baby's colleague's house warming on Saturday..
It's in Yishun blk 232, somewhere near Joyce's house and North point..
It's the old 5-room flat at level 12..
OMG.. it's damn spacious for HDB!! 120+ sq metre!!
Wat's best was.. the colleague bought the house just before the housing boom..
So he bought that re-sale flat for only $330k... So freaking worth it!
A regular BTO 4-room flat (93 sqm) cost $280k alrdy!
Wat a lucky couple!

I told baby no point rushing to buy a flat especially with the housing boom now..
It's just the bubble effect...
When things get settled down and the trend dies off, the prices will drop back to the norm...
plus I seriously hated the BTO flats... It's so freaking small!! and the design sucks!!
I wonder who's the bunch of idiots designing the new flats... must be some toads in the well... who don't think in the perspectives of housewives...

Earlier that morning I had a nightmare...
I told baby abt it...
I dreamt that baby came to propose to me with a tiny winy diamond embedded in a trilogy ring... which I totally don't like!!
Baby laughed at me when he heard that...
He said that tiny winy diamond is good enough...
=__________="
He asked wat design I don't like..
Then I told him there are many designs e.g 3 claws, 4 claws 5 claws.. how high they set the diamond, how thick the ring etc...
Then baby said " So you like the 4 claws one lah.."
I told him yes.
*end of conversation*

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

But recently had another quarrel with him...
Coz he purposely made me angry.. He tot it was amusing...
=___________="
In the end I pointed out that he started it and made him apologise nicely...

Wonder what's in his head..
He was very caring on Sat at his friend's house... Then provoke me at home.. then today he is so caring again...
I wonder if Gemini are like that.. Split personality... Bi-polar?!?!?!
Maybe...
But love him still~ especially when he is nice.. =)

Baby, pls be GOOD always!

Puzzled

2010-02-25T00:08:00.002+08:00

Why do pple always make weird choices???

Why do I give up one that loves me more .. and choose one that don't love me as much as I do??

Why do other men care more than the one that is supposed to care...??

Why is it that the person knows what I like and love but just refused to do/show it...??

Why must I always have to guess if he really have me in his heart??

Why doesn't he says he loves me??

Why doesn't he call me dear??

Why can't he understand my feelings?

Why can't he understand that I complain becoz I wan the relationship to improve??

Why doesn't he understand that communication is the main tool that keeps relationship alive??

Why does he have to keep things to himself??

Why isn't he speaking my love language???

Why can't he put me as priority??

Why must he say hurtful things when we quarrel??

Why didn't he see that it hurts me a lot??

And..

Why do I still love him despite of all these??

CNY

2010-02-19T02:03:00.008+08:00

It's CNY!!!

Chinese New YEar is my favourite!!
It just makes me feel so happy everyday during the CNY~~
It the time when we have gatherings, meeting a lot of relatives, gambling, drinking, eating and getting angbaos!
I am just so happy~

Went for groceries shopping on 12 Feb 10~
Company last minute announced that it's half day for all, so I went off at ard 12.30pm
Headed to IMM with Yenyi and a new ISIS colleague and had lunch @ the banquet..
We ate the prata... It was highly over-priced and rubbery... Didn't enjoy it.. Probably was due to the crowd so the cooking time was shortened...

After that I met ShuZhen on my way to Giant.. It's been years since I last saw her..
So glad that she still remembers me!
I had always admire her as the friendly senior in Sec sch.. and the girl who could carry the whole drum set by herself up 4 storeys..! Power!

Giant was so packed with pple... =____="
All the last minute shopping I guess...
I went to get the enoki (3 pkt for 98 cents!!).. and the super auntie me squated in front of the cold shelf trying to reach for the fresh-looking enoki that was hidden inside...
*Auntie-fied!*

When I pushed the trolley past the durian section, the seller was trying to get my attention by shouting "You are the best!" in mandarin... =____="
*Ignored*
Then I bought Kanimi, Shabu shabu pork, egg tofu, luncheon meat, prawns for making dumplings, hotdogs, quail eggs and taiwan meatballs~

All cost me only $57!

The queue was freaking long.... and I queued for almost 40-45mins before I get to pay the stuff...
Baby could not get a parking lot coz IMM was FULL... OMG...
He waited for me at the carpark drop off point.
Sweatz... Its tiring to shop during CNY...

Had reunion dinner on 13 Feb 10~
Bro's gf and Baby joined us for the steamboat~
We borrowed Ahyi's induction plate to cook the steamboat. Guess the voltage was a bit too high, so at a point of time it tripped the circuit... But we managed to solve the problem..
The food was yummy~~ and I kinda over ate~~ haha...
After dinner we played mahjong till 3+am~~ So tiring!
Baby went home after that.

14Feb10

Was slacking at home the whole day..
Didn't join baby for the visiting at his auntie's place... Glad that I didn't coz he played mahjong till late night..
Went to LaoGu's place in JW st 91 for visiting in the evening.

Later that night we played mahjong with mama till 4.30am~
Coz bro win quite a lot (I lost $33 =( so unlucky..) so we decided to go Mac for breakfast.
Surprizingly Mac was quite occupied~ So many night owls hanging out there~
Bro and his gf ate the new big breakfast set.. it consist of the big breakfast items plus 2 hotcakes.. Quite ex.. It cost $7+ per set... Mac is really earning a lot!!

15 Feb 10

Woke up ard 9+am.. only had 3+ hrs of sleep...
Went straight to buy TOTO coz it's the 5Mil draw day~
After that went to Auntie Janette's place at Fajar.. I won quite a lot from playing black jack~
=)
And Janette's son is quite shuai~~ and his build looks like a commando.. haha..

The 2nd house visit was at JW st25... After that I headed to Baby's place to bai nian..
By then I was totally exhausted... So tired and sleepy...
I watched baby play mahjong for a while then I went to his room to rest...
He only finished his game at 6am in the morning.. I wonder how they managed to play for whoel 12 hrs... tsk tsk tsk...

17 Feb 10

Didn't go to work today...
Ah gong and popo came to my house yesterday.
So we will have dinner at Ahyi's house today.
I accompanied ahyi and uncle to JP to buy the ingredients.
Popo came along too.. coz she wants to shop!! haha.. as usual..
We went Ayam Penyet RIA for lunch... The food is yummy! especially the sambal belachan~!

Dinner was steamboat~
Baby came too.. He refused to call "Ahyi" so ahyi forced him to greet her.. haha..
He thought that ah yi is only 10 yrs older, so its kinda weird to greet her that way...
But he called popo and ah gong~ hahha..

Played mahjong with elaine, mama and baby using the mini mahjong...
Really gotta play delicately.. hahha otherwise the tiles will "fly" off..
After that baby sent me and my parents home before he went home..

18 Feb 10

After work, Me, Narene and Min went back to my house to change and then head to JE sports complex for badminton..

Yuhua and baby joined us there... It was quite tiring coz it's been so long since I last played badminton... We had a great game~~ So hoping that we can play again next week~

2010-02-12T01:44:00.004+08:00

Here's the Feb 10 entries~

Baby has been asking me when I graduate from UWA recently.. He kept repeating his question when I refused to tell him..
He has been looking out for BTO/resale HDB location and prices... asking his friends on costs of wedding and banquet etc...
I bet he is planning something...
I told Joyce Siew and Aly abt it... and both of them confirmed that baby must be planning something...

So after gathering all these "intel", we came to a conclusion that baby might be planning to ask for my hand after I graduate... which is going to be in year 2013!!
No way!!
My target marriage age is 26!! I don't want to be an OLD bride... So I thought that I must do something abt it...

Finally, after lotsa discussion with the two ladies, I decided to confront baby...

So on 7Feb10, while he drives me home from BB, I asked him " When are you marrying me?"
I bet he was surprized by the sudden question.. so he laughed... =____="

Baby: When you graduate loh.. When u graduate??
Me: huh... so long... I will graduate when I am 50 yrs old...
Baby: *laughed again* Why 50? Why so stupid? If you haven't graduate, how to get married?"
Me: but by then I very old liao! I don't want... before grad also can marry mah.."
Baby: *laughed* then when you go find see where got houses loh.. if not where you wan to stay?
Me: huh.. houses will take very long to build leh...
*silence*
Baby: you haven't grad, if want to have baby how?
Me: Marry first, baby wait till after I graduate lah...
Baby: Marry liao then I wan baby mah..
Me: NO... marry liao must have 1-2 yrs couple life before planning for baby...
Baby: Now already couple life liao mah...
Me: NO... It's different...
*End of conversation*

So I didn't get an answer... But I confirmed that he was really up to something...

Back in office the next day, I bombarded Aly with the information..
Then I came to a conclusion that I only want to get married by 26 coz I don't want to be an OLD bride... but I am totally not prepared for marriage or marriage life...

I couldn't settle without having a proper answer.. so on 10Feb10 I asked him again...
Me: When are you marrying me?
Baby: *laughed again* When marry you? When you want to marry me?
Me: Seriously! You have never tell me abt your plans!
Baby: What's your plan?
Me: NO.. I asked you the question 1st! So you have to tell me abt your plan 1st!
*after a long "arguement" on who to say the plan 1st*
Baby: Next year marry you
Me: Next year? when? whats your PLAN? you cannot decide everything by yourself and not discuss with me..
Baby: Next year get married.. when are you graduating? What's your plan?
Me: Don't joke already... Tell me!
Baby: I told you already.. next year marry you. then what's your plan?
Me: ok.. My plan is to get married either next yr or the yr after.. coz both have special dates like 11/11/11 and 12/12/12..
Baby: then this yr loh! this yr has 10/10/10.
Me: NO!! this yr too fast liao! don't you know wedding needs a long time to plan!
Baby: then next yr loh.. on 11/11/11
Me: But that day surely a lot of pple will wan to get married also... then it will be very hard to get that day
Baby: Then you 12 mid night start clicking on the website loh.
Me: Why only me?? you also must plan mah! How can end up only me doing all the planning
Baby: we both plan..
Me: ok.. my plan is marry maybe next yr, then have baby in 2013, have a snake baby.. coz by then I grad liao
Baby: No.. Dragon baby is better, very good yr for the baby and very Heng...
Me: NO! coz I will still be studying.. how can have baby?? later I don't feel well how to go to sch or take examz? then I pregnant how to go to sch? Later I get stressed and miscarriage how??
Baby: See Lynn also can do it.. she also study when she is pregnant..
Me: That's her... I don't want.. Snake baby is good... Then 2 or 3 yrs later have another baby.. I wan 2 babies.. How many kids do u want?
Baby: Ya.. 2 is good enough... Dragon baby is better
Me: No...
Me: Then how come you are so sure that I will marry you?? You nvr asked me before...
Baby: Wah!! So haolian ah!
*laughed*
Me: Of coz! What if I say no leh?
Baby: but you already keep asking when I wan to marry you mah
Me: I ask for fun only..
Baby: Wah!

2nd part of the conversation...

Me: But then I am not ready for marriage leh...
Baby: You have 2 yrs to get ready.. So start getting ready from today lah..
Me: No.. You see.. I will miss my cosy bed.. and cosy room..
Baby: Then how? what you want me to do? You stay in your house and I stay in my house loh..
Me: Can move in to my house??
Baby: Your bed so small...
Me: No lah.. you see.. married liao everything will change.. See.. I will have to Cook, wash clothes.. now I don't even wash my own clothes.. then next time still have to wash your stinky clothes too! I don't do housework also... and I don't know how to hang the clothes out on bamboo poles.. and I will have to tolerate your fart everyday!!!!!
Baby: cooking is only on weekends mah, I don't eat dinner everyday.. Wash clothes can all dump into the washing machines... U don't clean then how? die liao loh.. Hang clothes can install those pulley type so you don't need to use the bamboo poles.. Next time got house then I fart in the living room hahahaha...
Me: Ok lah.. Housework YOU DO! Then all settled already!! =)
Baby: WAH!
Me: Then ROM and customary settle together on the same day?
Baby: Yep. So would be so troublesome.
Me: But it will be very rush! Coz customary will take up the whole morning and half the afternoon...
Baby: Sure can manage one lah..
Me: But all the wedding photo shoots must book early etc.. And I don't want banquet..
Baby: Don't want banquet even better, use the money for honeymoon..
Me: But must have reception
Baby: Isn't it the same?? It's just changing from dinner to lunch.. How many table you want to hold? Or buffet style ah?
Me: No.. Like a reception for the relatives and close friends only.. don't know lah...
Baby: Aiyah.. Got 2 years to think abt it...
*silence*
Me: Then you haven't plan my proposal !! Don't you dare ask me to go buy HDB and that's it hor!
Baby: *laugh* but all my friends also asked that only.. You see Adrian and Dragon...
Me: NOPE! That's their business... If you ask me that I will surely box you in the face and ask you to redo the proposal... and I don't want those boring dinner cum proposal type hor... I want romantic one...
Baby: Wah! Ask for so much... You give me some ideas lah..Jump down on parachute can?? or dive into shark aquarium?? *laugh*
Me: No... YOU go and plan.. As long as it is very romantic one! And my ring leh??? You don't know my ring size!!
Baby: Wah.! Aiyah.. Joyce's ring size is 4, then yours is 5 or 6 loh.. I thought you say your fingers very slim..
Me: No!! My fingers are fat! So you must find out my ring size, don't later buy the wrong size! And then you haben decide how big my diamond is...!
Baby: How big you want? I think this size can liao.. *pointing to the tiny hole on the cushion zip*
Me: HUH! That's only like 0.1 carat!! My fingers are very fat so I can fit a BIGGER diamond... Cannot buy too small or else will have to use a magnifying glass to see the diamond!!
Baby: Wah~
Me: And don't buy from Taka or Citigems ok! Theirs are man-made diamonds... No value de... Must buy those with certificate one!
Baby: Wah ask for so much...~
Me: You know how to buy diamond not?? Do you know the 4Cs to look at?? Don't try to bluff me with a yellowish diamond hor... I pro in seeing diamond one ok...
Baby: I know how to choose lah.. Wah...Very pro ah...
Me: Heh Heh Heh...
*Smile* *hugz*

CNY Mood

2010-02-12T01:14:00.002+08:00

Its been so long since I last blogged!!

There are ups and downs between me and baby since Oct till Dec 09.. Quite upset about it then~~
But after the visit to butter fact in Dec with the CCC, we got along quite well.. Maybe was due to the serious talk we had prior to it..
But anyway, we had a great Dec 09~

Baby is now paying more attention to my mood and feelings~ So glad that he did so~
And he is more accomodating to me. We both took a weeks off during the last week of Dec and spent everyday together~ That was really great!
We had all the time to ourselves and enjoyed each other's company..

We celebrated xmas in Vivo~ we settled with a steamboat buffet coz the other restaurants were too packed..
New year eve was at Elaine's place where we had BBQ~
*Happy*

2010 is going to be a good good year for me~ I hope!
Jan 2010 was really an evenful month~

Had dinner with Mama and dear @ Kushinbo JP to celebrate mama's belated bday on 03Jan10..
The food was really yummy! Esp the snow crab~~ Baby saw that I am lousy in cracking the shells and offered to extract all the crab meat for me.. =)

Went brussels sprout with the CCC (including Min, Narene and Wanyi now)..
Had lotsa good food and fun there!
Really enjoyed the company~ (minus someone "J"...)

Baby is still into his regular soccer, and I am still his only supporter... =)
He also picked up air gun as his new hobby.. He encourages me to join too.. but I am still considering..

Adrian and Lynn had given birth on 28 Dec 09 to a baby boy "Kieran"
I was a bit upset that the name "kieran" was taken... I had always wanted to name my future baby boy as "Kieron".. So if I were to have a baby boy next time, I would need to find him another name...
=(
But baby Kieran is really cute~

Mama won 4D and treated me and baby to Zhou's Kitchen.
But the food is soso only.. we should have gone to Dian Xiao Er instead...
Hope that mama will win 4D again! =)

Joyce's wedding was held on 17 Jan 10. We were the Jiemeis~
It was really tiring to be the jiemei but we had fun!
One thing that I decided on that day was that I will NOT hold a banquet for my wedding in the future...
It's just too troublesome! Plus pple are more into the food than celebrating for my Big day...

Went Chinatown on 30Jan10... It was freaking crowded!!
I don't understand why must pple crowd around the stall for those free sampling of CNY snacks..
It's not like they have not tasted it before.. So freaking greedy..
Didn't hang ard there for long as it was way too crowded...
I was literally being pushed around and baby had to protect me while we walk..
Can't wait for CNY!

Not happy...

2009-10-20T00:32:00.002+08:00

I am feeling emo again...
coz I think he don't treat me seriously...
I don't like it when I am asking him a serious question, he just gave me lame answers or start making funny comments or actions...
I seriously don't like it...
He doesn't stop when I told him that I am asking him something serious..
argh.. it pissed me off.. really...

If he doesn't treat me seriously, then forget it...
I would waste my breath on him anymore..
I am so sick of giving in to him already...
It's time that he starts giving in to me or rather listening to my thoughts and feelings...

Why is it that guys deteriorate rapidly after courtship?
It sux!
If they think that there is no need to please the girl anymore since they are already together, then I think they deserved to dumped..
It takes effort from both parties to build the relationship.. so if their peanut brain still don't understand this after 32 yrs, I have nothing to say...

It just sux!!

It sux that the guy u love is not taking u seriously...
It sux that the guy knows what u like and what u want, but still not doing so...
It sux that whenever you tell them a problem, they just say that you think too much...
It sux that other guys know you and please you more than he does...
It just sux!

I don't like the feeling of being insecure...

So if you can't love me that much, then don't waste my love and my chance of being loved by someone else...

Weekend again~

2009-08-17T01:14:00.003+08:00

15 Aug 09

Such a rainy Saturday...
Felt so sleepy and lethagic..

Went to Leraine's (Dragon's daughter) 1st bday party @ Blue Horizon Condo in West Coast.
I had always wanted to take a look in the blue condo since many years ago, and finally I had the chance to do so~
But the interior of the condo doesn't really appeal to me..
Nothing fantastic... I think the Kovan Melody's design is nicer~ At least the pool layout is fantastic in Kovan Melody~

After arriving the poolside party, me and baby joined Adrian and Lynn~ Dragon was busy entertaining the guests and Leraine had yet to arrive~
Soon the place was flooded with kids and babies...
Suddenly it looked like childcare centre... =____="
*stressed*
I seriously can't stand many kids hovering around me...
Lynn was 5 mths pregnant and she enjoyed looking at the babies especially the boys.. Coz she was expecting a baby boy, so she paid more attention to how the baby boys are dressed..

Lynn's tummy looked pretty small for a 5 mth.. looks more like a 3 mth pregnancy, but since she is skinny in nature, so I guess that's why the tummy is small too..
Lynn said that she did want to over eat coz it would be easier to undergo natural birth if the baby isn't too big..
=)
It would be 4 more months and the baby would be born!
*excited for her*

It started to pour heavily after a while... and when the rain stopped, we had Leraine's cake cutting ceremony~
I bet she didn't know what's going on since she is only 1 years old.. =)
Her cake (castle design) is beautiful~

After the party, we went back to baby's place to play games..
He played his xbox while I play Sorority Life on Facebook.
I am so addicted to Sorority life!! hahaa...
Too bad my Sims 3 is not working.. otherwise I would be playing it from morning till night!
Adrian said that I need to do something to the crack file.. well.. I shall wait for baby to help me with it..
=)

16 Aug 09

It's 16 Aug already! I am going to have my 1st test on 20 Aug...
Well I guess I had better start studying!
Too bad I have monitoring on 19 and 20 Aug...
Surely I will be damn tired!

Today is another lazy rainy day...
Had Mutabak for brunch with baby at Bukit Batok..
Then head back to his place to play games again~
Only went to Farmart to meet Adrian and Lynn for prawning~
Surprizingly, they are interested in trying out prawning =)
So we prawned for 2 hrs... I caught 11 while Adrian and Lynn caught only 2~

It started to rain, so we stopped prawning and headed for dinner at the stall beside the prawn farm.
Had bbq chicken wings ($1/each), stingray ($12) and kangkong ($9) for dinner~ Yumz yumz~~
Finally the rain stopped...
We didn't continue to prawn, so we parted and went home again..
What a lazy day...

We end the day with more games and TV...
I hope next weekend we could go K Lunch~ That's if I could wake up on time.. *Fingers crossed*

My Melaka Trip 08-10 Aug 09

2009-08-14T00:38:00.028+08:00

08 Aug 09

I set my alarm clock at 7am.. but I only woke up after baby called me at 7.40am..
He said that he's coming over to pick me up..
=___="
So I quickly rushed to wash up and bath and pack my bag.. (I hadn't pack my bag coz I was slacking the previous night. =P)

Finally I lugged my pillow, bag and sling bag down to meet baby at 8.20am.
Serene said that she did not have spare pillow so I had to bring my pink fluffy pillow over~
=)
Bought bread toast and iced Milo & hot coffee before heading off to the 2nd link.

It was a nightmare at the Tuas causeway.. We were stuck in the jam for 3 hrs!!
I slept for 1 hr and were still in the jam! Poor baby had to endure the entire 3 hrs jam.. hohoho.. I felt fortunate to be able to sleep through 1/3 of the jam... =P

I was woken by the noise of plastic bags... Then baby told me that he seriously need to pee...
We are in the middle of the jam.. in the middle of the Tuas-JB causeway where no toilet available...
Well... he did managed to clear his bladder.. which I am not going to further elaborate...
=______=" Felt so caveman...

Finally at 12pm, we reach Bukit Indah to pick Serene up~
And that's another 2+ hours drive to Melaka..
I was happily chatting with Serene for 1 hr before I fell asleep again~
Reached Melaka at 3pm and rested for a while at Serene's place.

Her friend Loyd came over to join us to the shopping mall.

This was the first time I experience Serene's driving skill.. Haha..
I would say that it's not bad but she is one angsty driver... So much like baby...
Even Loyd agrees with me that she is angsty when she drives..

She would scold any driver that cuts her lane, not giving way to her etc...
=P

Well, being the passenger, we have lotsa free time to take photos~

This is what baby was posing when I tried to take a photo of him...
So gayish!

From this picture... It really shows that baby has short fingers!!
hahhaa.. so cute...

The roads at Melaka are narrow.. and most of them are one-way..
It's really a pain to find parking lots in Melaka.. This is so rare in Malaysia...
And we only managed to find a parking lot at 4+pm..
We then split up to do our own shopping as Serene and Loyd wanted to catch a movie.
Me and baby had coffee and donuts.

The donuts are pretty~ but they taste normal..
Nothing exciting about it.. haha..

After which, me and baby decided to take a look at their cinema..
It's the Golden Screen Cinema and they were showing GI Joe at 5pm. Tickets are priced at RM10 only!
It was already 5.05pm, so we quickly bought the tickets and went into the cinema..

I am quite surprised that the theatre is new and clean.. So unlike of the one I visited last time..
The seats are comfortable~
Unlike those in Singapore, the seats are not so upright. We totally enjoyed the movie!

After that we decided to have dinner at a Satay Lok Lok place. It is a recommended item to try in Melaka~

We went to this place named Ban Lee Siang coz the most popular place named Capitol was totally flooded with pple..
And there was a long queue outside the shop..
This place was also crowded but we could still get a seat within 5 mins.

Love the satay sauce!!

The non-coloured sticks are RM0.50 and the red sticks are RM0.60~!
They have quite a variety of food items to choose from~
The total cost for the lok lok meal + drinks was only Rm49.70.
That works out to only about $5.11/person!!
How I wish they have this in JB too~!
Well definitely not in Singapore.. coz it would cost a bomb to eat lok lok in Singapore... =(

The weather is really warm in Melaka.. 33 degrees Celsius... We were perspiring after the meal~

After that we went to Jonker Street.. But nothing much there.. It's so much like our Chinatown in Singapore.. So I didn't really buy much from that place.. The local products sold at the "San Shu Gong" shop were freaking over-priced!!
I saw sooooo many Singaporean tourists carrying baskets full of the local products.. Well.. that's why I say it's a shop for tourists only...
I would rather ask my ah gong to help me get them from Batu Pahat instead.. I would save at least 30-40% of the cost...

As the weather was really warm, we headed for cendol after walking to the end of the Jonker street~
Yumz~~~ The Cendol was covered with Gula Malacca (coconut sugar) and tasted soo yummy!
Enjoyed the dessert a lot~

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

09 Aug 09

I didn't know what time we woke up coz Serene's place did not have a clock..
As I was craving for the chicken rice ball, Serene brought us to the shop near her place.
She said that the food is nicer and cheaper compared to the shops in Jonker Street (tourists' attraction area)

We ordered half a chicken and 20 rice balls.
The chicken meat was tender and smooth~ Very nicely cooked and seasoned.

The rice balls are small, equivalent to the size of a fish ball~
The rice tasted very Q and I

believed it could bounce if I were to throw it on the table~
=P

What's really good abt the chicken rice is that both the chicken and the rice are not oily!
The typical Hainan Chicken Rice we had in Singapore tends to be very oily..
For the Melaka Chicken Rice, we feel satisfied after eating it instead of the normal greasy feeling.

The chilli sauce is good too! No garlic was added to the chilli sauce so we didn't have bad garlic breath after eating it. =)
The whole meal + drinks only cost us abt RM14 !!

I kept asking Serene why she didn't grew fat after staying in Melaka for so long~ haha..
She said that she grew real fat in the intial stage but after 1+ yrs of Melaka food, she slowly grew bored of it already~

We went to GSC again to watch movie~ This time we watched " On His Majesty's Secret Order".
It's a Hong Kong Comedy which left us laughing till our stomach hurts~ =)
I don't mind watching it again!

Went to Mahkota Parade to shop and I bought a top from "Kitchen" at only RM53.

Then we went to the Eye on Malaysia.

The ride cost RM10 for Malaysians (MyKad is required for identification purposes), and RM20 for non-locals. So baby was the foreigner!
It was Serene's first time trying out the Ferris Wheel after it was moved from KL to Melaka not too long ago.
The weather was really hot but luckily the ferris wheel cabin is air-conditioned~
So we could see lotsa water condensation on the glass of the cabin.

Enjoyed the 20 minutes ride~

Dinner was on a street near Jonker. Serene recommended the Wanton Mee~

The noodles is very Q and tastes good~ After mixing the chilli sauce, it tastes really yummy!
Wanton was not bad too~
I didn't know how much the meal cost as I forgot to ask baby after he paid the vendor.

We also ordered the Char Kway Tiao from the next stall as the waiting time for the wanton mee was really long.
Erm.. the char kway tiao smells really GOOD.. but the taste was so ordinary..
Quite disappointed with it~
The ones sold in Batu Pahat tasted 100X better!

We skipped the Lala stall as we were already very full. So we headed home early~
Serene had class at 8am the next day, so she needed her rest too~

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

10 Aug 09

Serene woke us up at 7am. Then we set off at 7.40am~
Had breakfast at the MacDonald's opposite the Melaka Zoo.

The Mac in Msia is really cheap~ Or rather Singapore's Mac is far too over-priced...
I seriously think that Mac should start distributing discount coupons again~

We ordered Sausage McMuffin with Egg Meal for only RM7.70 each.
The price is even much cheaper than a Happy Meal in Singapore! Argh.. This is so frustrating!
Guess that's why I seldom have Mac in Sg...

Happy with my breakfast~!

We reached JB at 10am~ So we went to Jusco at Tebrau City to shop, eat and watch another movie (Overheard)~
I think from now on, I will frequent Msia to watch movies... coz again... Sg's movie tickets are over-priced........ =________="

My week..

2009-08-06T23:30:00.000+08:00

This week passed so fast..
Nothing actually happened for this whole week..

Baby suggested to drive up to Malacca or KL this long weekend.
So I contacted Serene and asked to long bang her place for 1 night..
hohoho... so we will pick her up at JB then drive her back to Malacca~

Hopefully it will be a fun trip!
It's been so long since I last went to Malacca.. the last time I went was during the Sec4 Prom night in 2002..
And that was 7 years ago already!

So sian of being fat liao..
I want to be like Sec sch again!! I start to wonder where did my determination came from when I was in Sec sch..

Whatever...
I just want to lose 4 kgs...

My Bday Bangkok Trip - Day 3 & 4

2009-07-30T02:00:00.005+08:00

Day 3 - 19 Jul 09

Woke up slightly later coz we were too exhausted after 2 days of shopping from morning till night..
We had breakfast at the cafe again.
I was glad that they served bacon!! It's one of my fav. breakfast items~
Seeing the amount I ate everyday.. I bet I would have gained back all the weight that I lost prior to the trip...

Today's main attraction is Siam Ocean World!

First Stop
Siam Ocean World ( http://www.siamoceanworld.co.th/index.htm )

Being the kiasu, we headed to Siam Paragon from our hotel at 9.30pm. The journey from Chon Nonsi station to Siam station was a quick one, so we reached the place at 9.50am~
Siam Paragon wasn't even opened yet!
As it opens at 10am, we were the 2nd visitor of the day! *clapz clapz*

Here's some details of the Ocean World:
Location: Siam Paragon Basement 1 & 2
Nearest BTS: Siam Station
Opening Hours: 10am - 8pm (BKK time)
Admission Fee: 850 baht (inclusive of 1 free popcorn & drink, 1 Glass bottom boat ride, 1 entry to Sanyo 4D X-Venture show & 1 behind the scene entry); 950 baht (Additional 10 mins Dr. Fish foot spa on top of the basic admission package)

If I am not wrong, it's baby's first time to an aquarium~ He didn't even go to the Underwater World in Sentosa before..
He was really excited when he entered the Siam Ocean World =)
Baby kept asking me to take lots of pictures of the sea animals etc.. hehe.. so much like a child..

There was quite a collection of sea animals and they even had the preserved bodies of deep sea creatures!
I love the snow crabs~~! Though this may sound a bit cruel.. but I was hoping that I could get to taste one soon! =P
I am such a crab-lover... Such a carnivore!!

We went for the Dr. Fish foot spa. Our feet were cleaned by the attendants before we could place them into the circular jacuzzi.
The water is cool coz the fish would have died if the water temperature is any higher.
Within a few seconds, the fishes were surrounding our soles and started nibbling!
It was sooooooooooo itchy!!
Baby's face was in torment... hahaha...
After a while, I realised that there were very few fishes around baby's feet..
Whereas my feet were surrounded by so many fishes and a few big ones!
Well... this shows that wearing high heels everyday did gave me a lot of dead skins...
It's time for my pedicure soon!
Baby was laughing at me.. saying that me feet must be really dirty which is why the fishes love me so much...

Think I will visit a fish spa again when I return to Singapore~! A longer treatment next time!

We finished touring the whole place by 12pm and went for the glass bottom boat ride.
Life vests were provided. There are baits for sale to feed the fishes.
There were so many fishes swimming by our boat and we could even see the shark swim past our boat!
Cool!
Imagine the huge sharks (though quite harmless to humans) swimming underneath your feet..
=)

Watched the shark feeding show, but was a bit of disappointment.
apparently they did not have enough fish to feed the shark for the entire 5 mins show..
So the divers were just pushing the sharks away after 2 mins...
=(
*disappointed*

Second Stop
MBK - Hong Min (level 3)

After the aquarium tour, we headed to MBK for lunch~
We ordered:
- 3 dim sum
- Wanton mee (for baby)
- Century Egg Porridge (for me)
- Roasted Duck
- Stirred fried veggies
- Pan-fried Oyster Omelet (Me & Baby seriously love oyster omelet!)
- Iced Milk Tea

Total cost for the meal: 700+ baht (Cheap!)

Third Stop
Siam Centre + Siam Square

Nothing much for Siam Centre as it is just like any other shopping centres in Singapore, so we went to Siam Square instead.
Baby bought more tees there..
I bought a pair of heels at only 250 baht!
Love it lots!

Fourth Stop
Platinum Shopping Centre + Pratunam Market

We headed to Platinum via a cab. Platinum is also a place for buying cheap clothing and accessories!
I bought a nice deep blue dress @ 350 baht, and 2 belts @ 150 baht each.

After a while we could not longer walk any further, so I suggested that we need foot massage!!
So we went to Pratunam centre for foot massage.
It's 99 baht for 40 mins.
The massage was good and Baby & I soon dozed off..
Felt so much refreshed after the massage~

Headed back to hotel via tuk tuk after walking through the night market beside Baiyoke Sky Hotel.
Bathed and rested our feet again in the hotel before we went to Patpong again.

Fifth Stop
Patpong Night Market - Final shopping~!

Baby passed by a printing stall and bought another 5 tees... He had abt 20 tees already!!
After that we went to Coffee Society to relax.

Venue: Coffee Society ( http://www.coffeesociety.co.th )
Location: Silom
Opening Hours: 24-hrs

It is a 4-storey cafe. First story with normal tables and chairs, second storey with cushion seats and rectangular tables, third-storey with sofas and bean bags (something like Essential Brew in Singapore), fourth-storey is a mystery.. coz I didn't went up to see.. =P

Loved their banana smoothie, and ice blended mocha~~~ Their brownies and cakes are good too!
Felt totally relaxed and enjoyed the night in the cafe with my baby...

Day 4 - 20 Jul 09

Home Sweet Home

Our flight was at 12.35pm so we had our breakfast and set off to the airport at 9am.
It's a monday morning so we were so worried that we might be caught in the horrible BKK traffic jam...
Well, no jam!
We hired the hotel's private car @ 500 baht to the airport.
The driver uncle was so friendly and helpful, I can't help but to tip him.
Love BKK's friendliness!! I will miss it a lot!

After checking in, we headed to Black Canyon again!!
Had their Iced Coffee and I totally love it!!

That more or less sums up my BKK trip with my baby!
=)

My Bday Bangkok Trip - Day 2

2009-07-29T14:08:00.004+08:00

Day 2 - 18 Jul 09

Had a good night sleep.. Fully recharged for the second day!
I was glad that though the hotel is old and located beside a cemetery, we had a good sleep (no spooky things *touch wood!*)
We went to the 2nd floor to have our breakfast at the hotel cafe.
They didn't have a lot of variety like those international breakfast from the 5 stars hotel, but the food was not bad.
They offered:

Chinese
Porridge with chicken etc
Stir fried veggies
Stir fried meat
Salute potato

American
Bread Toast (with a choice of butter, jam or kaya)
Muffins
Cakes
Cream puffs
Eggs (Scrambled, omelet, sunny-side-up)
Hotdogs
Ham or Bacon (alternate days)
Pancake or French toast (alternate days)
Yogurt
Cereals
Fruits
Green Salad

Thai
Thai fried rice
Thai fried rice noodles

Of coz I had my scrambled eggs, hotdogs, pancake, fresh milk, orange juice and a toast.
We finished our breakfast around 9am and was ready to set off to Chatuchak!

First Stop
Chatuchak! (opens only on weekends from 9am - 5pm) consisting of abt 15000 stalls (according to wikipedia)

On our way to the BTS station, I saw this roadside stall selling bbq food.. The smell was good until I saw that they sell bbq whole frog...
OMG!
I really mean WHOLE Frog!
The head, eyes, skin, body and legs were all intact and was put to bbq on 2 sticks... *fainted*
I had goosebumps once I saw the frogs...
We then took BTS from Chon Nonsi Station (which was abt 10 mins walk from the hotel) and change to to another line at Siam station towards Mo chit Station.

It took abt 20 mins to reach chatuchak~
It was already crowded early in the morning~
So we started on our shopping spree~ from 10am - 3pm

The weather was really warm.. approx. 34 degrees celcius..
My previous visit to chatuchak was in early December so it was abt 27-28 degrees.. so much cooler than this visit!
I was almost dying of continuous perspiration... hahaha...

Things to buy in Chatuchuk:
- Tees (approx. bargained price 80 - 200 baht, depending on design, quality and your bargaining skill)
- Bags (Tote, handbags, sling bag, luggage, backpacks, etc) (approx. bargained price 199 - 399 baht, depending on sizes and designs)
- Slippers (approx. 199 baht)
- Belts
- Caps, hats
- Tops (approx. 150 - 399 baht)
- Bermudas (approx. 100 - 299 baht)

Tips for shopping in Chatuchak:
- Compare the prices among the shops.
- Do not look too enthu when buying otherwise the stall holder will be less willing to give you a good discount coz he/she knows that you will definitely buy it
- The stall holders normal offer a super high price e.g a Tee for 399 baht... so bargain for 100 - 180 baht. If failed to come to an agreed price, just reject politely and start walking off. 80% of the time, the stall holder will give in once they see you walk away. Well, we aren't there to pick up a fight, so just be polite to the stall holders and they will be more willing to agree to the bargained price. *Do not bring your "Yaya-Papaya" attitude over as it irks everyone..*
- Grab a map at the clock tower area, otherwise you will be so lost among the 15000 stalls... The map will show you which section sells what kind of products etc.
- Rest when necessary! You will be able to shop more when you have ample of short breaks.. Grab a cup of iced milk Tea (highly recommended) or some cold thai desserts inside chatuchak!
- Try the thai food for lunch at the food stalls. You will find authentic local food (approx. price 30 - 60 baht) and drinks (approx. 10 - 25 baht). They have english translations on the menu, so no worries if you don't understand thai. The food is relatively clean, but do expect a 5 star hotel cleanliness, if you want atas environment, then eat in atas hotel. So sick of seeing some tourists trying to act atas when they want to eat in chatuchak.. =___="

Baby bought quite a number of stuff to the extend that he wanted to buy a luggage to hold them.. It's a good idea that you get a luggage or those waterproof plastic carrier with wheels when you buy a lot of stuff there. You can save your hands from the heavy weight and simply drag the carrier/luggage.

We decided to take a cab back to our hotel (120 baht).. I could hardly walk any further coz my feet were so tired!
We dump the stuffs we bought and had a good bath.. The sun had left us all sweaty and smelly...
Felt so refreshed after a short rest and fresh clothes~
=)

Second Stop
MBK

Again we took the BTS to Siam Station. This is where a number of big shopping centres are located. For example, Siam Paragon, Siam centre, MBK, Siam square etc.
I bought a nice bag at a roadside stall on the way to MBK. It has a long strap, grey with gold zip and different compartments for my handphones etc. Bought it at 350 baht~ Not super cheap but really worth the money!
So happy that I have got my 2nd bag in BKK~! The first bag was from chatuchak, a brown draw-string bag to replace the worn out one that I bought from Taiwan 2 yrs ago~ *Happy!!*

Well, MBK is a big shopping centre with lotsa shops selling imitation goods. Not my cup of tea though.. I don't like to buy imitation bags (esp. the big brands like LV, Gucci, Agnes b etc) coz it's really embarrassing when someone noticed it..
I would rather buy the real goods when I can afford it~ =)

Had early dinner in a thai noodle restaurant coz I couldn't find the Hong Min Chinese restaurant which I visited in the previous trip.. The food wasn't fantastic.. but edible.. so was a bit disappointed after the meal..
We continued with our shopping, and baby was so tempted to buy the magic trick (D-lite) which costs 950 baht... Freaking ex!!
It was the magic trick that can make red/blue light appear/disappear on you finger tip..
I didn't let him buy it.. coz I think it's not worth it..

Bought 2 Abercrombie & Fitch tops from a factory outlet in MB.. Only 80 baht each! *So happy!*
After which we went up the the 3rd level in the B section.. It was then I saw Hong Min restaurant!! I told baby that I will bring him there for lunch tomorrow~
There is also a Hong Min restaurant at level 1 but the 2 restaurant sells different stuff.. and I prefer the one on the 3rd level near Burger King fast food.

We were tired by 7pm.. so we went to Starbucks for a drink and rest our feet~ Earlier, the cab driver lied to us that Pratunam Market is closed so he offered to drive us to Suan Lum Night Bazaar or Patpong Night Market.. But we refused coz we know that they are over-charging us for the fare. Plus the internet says that Suan Lum Night Bazaar has been closed down since 2008..
After buying my Ice blended Mocha, I asked the Starbucks guy if suan lum is still open. To my surprise, he said that it is open every night! So what's all the "closed down" hooha over the internet?????
So I learn another lesson... Internet research is essential before a trip, but the most accurate information always comes from the independent locals (when I say independent means you don't ask the cab drivers! Of coz they will say things that is to their advantage.. duh..)

Third Stop
Suan Lum (http://www.suanlum-nightbazaar.com/EN/maps.php)

We headed to Suan Lum by cab (100 baht). We shopped lane by lane coz Suan Lum is a big night market so by doing so, we will not miss out any stalls~
Baby noticed a stall selling magic tricks.. He stood there to watch the guy perform.. The guy will teach you how to perform the magic trick after you decided to buy and paid for the item.
In the end, after 45 mins of seeing and buying and coaching, baby bought 3 magic tricks (bite coin, magic sponge balls and prediction bicycle deck) @ 1000 baht. The guy gave him an additional magic trick (dice prediction) for free. So 4 tricks for 1000 baht.
And that finally pacified baby.. hahaha...
Guess he has entered the next interest phase.. From Feng Shui to magic... (Alyssa also told me that his bf is quite into magic recently..)
Is that the phase guys must go through when they reach their 30s???
*I wonder..*

Finally we reached the food area of Suan Lum. They have a huge food area with tons of tables and seats in the middle area, a huge stage at one end (live band performances) and 2 huge projection screen showing soccer match~
It's my favourite place~~~
The food is fantastic and the beer is super cheap, plus live band entertainment~! A good place to sit and relax after shopping for the whole day~

Baby ordered Tom Yum Goong, Thai pineapple seafood fried rice and oyster omelet! (approx. 45- 65 baht)
Food is delicious! The rice is so fragrant! and the big fat oyster in the egg~~ *droolz*
Baby had iced milk tea while I had the iced lemon tea... After one slip of baby's iced milk tea, I so so so so so regretted ordering the lemon tea!!
The iced milk tea aka my highly recommended drink in Thailand, so forget abt coconut juice.. its such a boring drink..
It taste so smooth~ so so so smooth~ and very well blended as they use the Teh Tarik method to blend the tea and milk.
I am sooooo going to miss the food from Thailand!! I wonder if Golden Mile sells Thai food of the same quality...

Went back to hotel via cab coz it was way past mid night.. *tired*

My Bday Bangkok Trip~!

2009-07-29T01:39:00.006+08:00

Finally I get some time to start blogging abt my Bangkok trip!
It's my bday present from baby! So touched~~!

So here's the general details abt my trip:
Duration: 17 - 20 Jul 09
Hotel: Unico Grande Silom (3 star)
Location of hotel: Silom
Room Rates: Executive room @ 1400 baht/night (booked via www.latestays.com)
Flight: Tiger Airways (6.35am)
Flight Rates: S$168/person (very ex for a budget plane.. =___=")
Trip type: Free & Easy
Luggage: One handbag + one luggage weighing 7kg
Cash brought: 11k baht
Currency Exchange rate: S$1 to 23.05 baht

Day 1 - 17 Jul 09

Photos at http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2517139&op=6&o=global&view=global&subj=620258925&id=531941490#/album.php?aid=108646&id=531941490

At first I suggested to camp over at T2 or T3 on 16 Jul since our flight is at 6.30am..
Being me (the "famous" sleepy head) will have great difficulty waking up at 4am..
But in the end was tired after work so decided to try waking at 4am instead..

Well, guess baby was over excited, he kept waking up in the middle of the night asking me what time it was...
I had set the alarm clock at 3.45am... so no worries!! Stop waking me up!! It's my beauty sleep before the big day!
Finally, all set at 4.30am.. I lugged my handbag + luggage while baby had his big bag pack...
I started having runny nose when I board the cab... Was so worried that I might get detained at the airport..
Coz nowadays, sneezing, runny nose, cough, fever are all the big TABOO...
Thanx to the over-reacted pple towards H1N1 (aka Hinnie...)

Reached the budget terminal, checked in and time for breakfast!
It's been so long since I last had Mac breakfast~~~ =) *Happy*
Time to board the plane, met some Kiasu SG aunties... =___="
It's my virgin ride on budget airline~ so I was quite excited and nervous..
But soon it was over-whelmed with boredom...
I realized that there no TV on the plane.. no food/drinks included... *upsetted*
So I self-entertained by cam-whoring.. =P
While baby was well-occupied with his newspapers...

Reach BKK @ 7+am (BKK time), got a cab to our hotel..
Had some difficulties letting the cab know where the hotel is..
So moral of the story: spend more money and stay in a more renowned hotel~~ =)

We checked in at 9.15am~
Well the room is clean and very spacious but looks old... The picture I saw on the website was so much better... The toilet is old but relatively clean..
Demerits: No toothbrush, tooth paste, bath robe, face towel and hand towel... Hotel corridor is not air-conditioned, hotel situated beside an old Chinese cemetery
Merits: Cheap rates, near BTS, near Patpong night market, relatively clean, quite comfy, excellent service staffs, and breakfast was not bad.

First stop
Black Canyon Coffee @ Silom Complex.
Was hungry so we went for early lunch before we continue our journey to Hua Lamphong station.
The Tom Yum Goong there is fantastic!! It has a rich taste, the sourness and spiciness is just right.. One slip will greatly enhance your appetite!
Their drinks are good too! Plus the price is cheap! drinks @ only S$3+ and food @ only S$ 4-6+

After the meal we headed to Hua Lamphong station. It is the last station nearest to the grand palace on the BKK map (map available foc at BKK airport or major shopping centres, so there is no need to buy one).
It's important not to take a cab or tuk tuk during peak hours, otherwise you will be wasting time and energy being stuck in the horrible jam.
Taking a cab from Hua Lamphong is a good choice as it is not the main shopping district or office area so traffic jams are less likely to happen.

Unfortunately, we were told by a friendly local that the Grand Palace and Wat Pho is closed for the King's visit... It was the yearly Buddha day in Thailand.. *SAD!*
That's the problem when I did not research thorough enough...
The friendly local suggested several places for us to visit instead..
We went to Wat Ratchanadda by tuk tuk (recommended by the local, so the tuk tuk will bring us around for shopping and sight seeing).. Nothing very interesting though..

We were then driven to a place selling gems and jeweleries... *BORED!!*
So we told the tuk tuk man that we were not interested in buying gems and got him to bring us to Bobe shopping complex instead.
Apparently the tuk tuk man gets paid for the attractions that he brought us to.. so he was quite disappointed that we wanted to shorten the sight seeing..
When we reached Bobe market, we still paid him the full 80baht (which was meant for the whole trip).. After all he was very friendly..

Second Stop
Bobe shopping complex located at Prince Palace Hotel.
It's a shopping complex selling wholesale clothing and products. *Heavenly!*
Tees were sold @ 50 - 90 baht (according to different sizes). The clothing quality is good and some of the designs could be found in places like Topman!
The beer singlets were sold @ 65 baht, far cheaper than the night market bargained rates of 100 baht.
Baby bought quite a number of tees, while I bought 2 tees for my bro.
We spent quite a long time there and had early dinner in the food court (located at 4 or 5th floor.. I can't rmb already..)
There we had thai fried rice (yummy!), oyster omelet and thai dessert~
Spent only abt S$10 for dinner including drinks~

Third Stop
We didn't take a tuk tuk or cab back to our hotel as it was peak hour..
So we followed the map and tried to walk to the nearest night market.. In the end we couldn't find the market and got a bit lost... hahaha...
We went so far till we reached Chinatown... Imagine walking from Prince Palace hotel all the way to Chinatown...
My feet almost broke off.. hahaha...
Finally we got back to Hua Lamphong area.. Passed by Wat Tramit and then took MRT + BTS back to our hotel..

The weather was so humid and warm (abt 34 degrees Celsius)...
I was sweating from head to toe..
So after a good bath and some rest in the hotel, we headed to Patpong Night market~
So much to see and so much to shop!
Not to forget, I bought the 430ml Yakult from the 7-11 !! So shiok to gulp down the chilled Yakult.. How I wish Singapore will start selling Yakult in big bottles!!
We only return to our hotel at 11+pm...

2009-07-06T17:49:00.006+08:00

Had a nice weekend~~ Here it goes:

03 Jul 09

TGIF!!!!!!!!
Managed to get the transformers tix at GV max for tonight's 9pm show!
Woke up feeling soooo excited!
Was a bit hyper in office and cleared a number of backlogs~
Saw Narene in the office and she was also very bubbly~~
Both of us were watching Transformers in the same cinema~! haha..
Finally it's 6pm.. Time to leave the office!!

Only managed to reach vivo ard 7pm coz the traffic was bad..
Got Baby to treat me dinner (Thou he has always been paying for my meals..) coz I treated him to the movie~ =P
We went to Carls' Junior and it was so crowded that we have to share table with a girl...
It's been a long long time since I last ate in Carls' Junior... and I knew that I can't finish a burger by myself so I shared with baby..
The girl's bf came back with the food and was quite pissed off that she allowed us to share the table... He then refused to eat nor talk... leaving the poor girl so upset...
I felt so bad! Though that guy is a total idiotic jerk, I felt so bad for spoiling the girl's day...

Half way through our meal, the guy left and the girl was alone by herself..
OMG... I would have killed that guy... It's just a table... what's the big deal??
Plus that table is for 6 pple... so it's big enough for 4 of us to share...
Baby was wondering what happened and I whispered the incident to him...
He too found it ridiculous... But I reminded him that he did that once in Westmall's food court...
That's when I generously shared the table with a mother and daughter and baby got angry...
Haiz.. guys nowadays behave so ungentlemanly... What has the world become???

After eating, we noticed that the guy didn't return and the girl left the place without touching her burger & fries at all...
So poor thing...

Then we went shopping and I got myself a top from Pull n Bear~~
It was on sale~! ( I didn't try the top before buying.. the top ended up too big for me.. so I am trying to sell it to Elaine instead..)
Wasted $19.90..... *sulk*
Went for the movie at 9pm and met Narene outside the cinema!
It's baby's first time in GV max, and he was quite impressed that the cinema is huge and the seat are quite comfy~ I bet he would like the Cathay Grand too~
Then he started to haolian that he had been to GV Gold Class... Apparently his company's event was to watch X-men at Gold Class...
And so that's why he refused to watch it with me in the cinema that time... *hrmp!*
Some more lied to me that he had watched it online...

The movie is good!!! I love bumble bee!
I could tell that baby was quite engrossed in the movie (except for the part which I laughed too much.. hahhaa..)
But he still insisted on saying that the movie is meant for children to watch... =___="
The movie ended ard 11.40pm and baby then drove back to his place..

04 Jul 09

Woke up ard 12+pm.. Got ready and baby drove me to sch..
Had lunch at the fishball noodles stall opposite my sch..
He was nice enough to accompany me to class again.. But this time it was very obvious that he crashed my class coz my lecture was in the classroom...
Brian Chia saw us walked in and many of the classmates were staring...

We hid at the back of the class...
Baby was drinking his kopi and reading newspapers... while I did my mock exam...
Brian Chia said that he will only go through the papers at 4pm... which is 2 hrs aways...
I got bored after 1 hr so I told baby that we should leave... Since the class will be recorded, I can get the answers via the web recording later...
So we left the class at 3.15pm and went to Farmart ~

In the car, Baby said that Michelle (Minyu's fren) kept looking at me and seemed to be talking abt us.. The whole group even turned to look at us.. (I didn't notice all these...)
Well.. haha.. I guessed that they must be asking Minyu if that's my bf and why is he in the class...
I joked that 100% it's not because baby is handsome that caused them to look.. hahahahaha...

Saw 2 uncles caught 2 super huge river prawns in farmart.. I think they were about 30cm long!!
That's the largest prawns ever caught!!

Went back to baby place to bathe coz I was so sweaty due to the stupid weather.. Plus a bit of menses cramp...
Then had dinner at westmall... baby specifically told me not to share the 4 seater table with others..
But when we were halfway through our meal, a guy came asking to share and baby agreed without hesitation...
After the guy left, a mother and daughter came to ask and baby agreed again...
=__________="
Double standard guy.....
Baby argued that that's coz he had chosen his seat so the empty seats could be shared...
*duh* what's the diff... *rolled eyes*

We bought pink guava juice and headed to farmart again after dinner...
Started prawning at 9pm and did not get a single prawn in the 1st hour.. =(
We received 2 prawns from a lady who was leaving already and 1 from the boy who tends the stall...
After 3.5 hrs of prawning, we managed to get 16 prawns (on average abt 15-16cm)~!
It's considered quite few as compared to normal days.. but the prawns are bigger this time..

Headed back to baby's place at 1+am.. *tired*

05 Jul 09

Woke up at 10+am by baby's FART.. *grossed!!!!!*
I think that's the gross-est thing for a guy to do esp in front of the gf... *rolled eyes*
What's worst is that he enjoyed seeing me in agony when he farts...
I seriously think that he is psychotic.. very psycho indeed...

Went back to my house to cook brunch~
I was supposed to cook the prawns (those we caught yesterday)... I fried them and then stir fry then with salt and pepper... *yummy!*
Baby was to cook fried rice for me.. Coz that's the 1st time he cooks for me...
According to him, he only knows how to cook maggi mee (which he hardly eats them) and white rice and fried eggs...
So if I die from eating his fried rice, I wouldn't be surprised...

So I prepared the ingredients for the fried rice while he de-shell and cleaned the prawns...
We had luncheon meat, crab stick, egg, peas, corn, corn, garlic and onion for the fried rice..
I added the seasoning for him.. coz he initially planned to add oyster sauce.. *omg..*
(can you imagine eating fried rice with oyster sauce???) *bleah*

Well, the rice turned out quite good.. hahah... This shows that next time I can get him to cook other food as well~

In the late afternoon, it was drizzling so baby decided to go JP for a walk..
Went for tea at toast box...
Then I went NTUC to get smoked salmon, bread and butter head lettuce..
The place was flooded with pple.. so irritating...
It seemed like pple goes groceries shopping in only NTUC...
Or otherwise, the entire family has to be present before the mother can buy her groceries...
=________="
*sickening...*
And there are rowdy kids dashing around and poking the food on the shelves...
*duh* Are those kids just released from the zoo??? Or what have the parents been teaching them on proper behaviour in the public???
Guess parent nowadays don't really teach huh... They just leave it to the school to do the teaching so that they have someone to blame when their kids misbehaved...

Well.. the adults aren't any better.. They practically surround the food sampling area as if they are going to settle their dinner there...
*sick*
I know it's economic crisis... but please don't be so "hungry ghost" can???
So grossed....
Maybe that's why I hate to shop in NTUC... I prefer cold storage... where pple tends to be more well behaved...

Went home to watch "War of the World" on Ch5..
Apparently baby had not watched it before.. Well.. a bit surprising coz that movie was so popular at that time..
Maybe he was too busy with studies + work bah...
*shrugs*

I am so upset today!
It was raining in the morning so I had to use my beloved umbrella to get a cab... After boarding the cab, I folded the unbrella nicely and placed it on the floor of the car...
And when I got off, I totally forgot about my umbrella!! and the uncle didn't noticed it either so he drove off...

I reached the office and then I realised that something was missing...
*SOBZ*
I lost my umbrella........................................
The one that I used for so long and it's so handy and pretty... And I have feelings for all my stuff....
*sulk sulk sulk!!*

My Isetan $20 voucher is expiring today.. I couldn't think of anything to buy in Isetan Scotts so in the end I wasted the voucher..
Plus no one to accompany me down to orchard so I don't feel like going also..
Haiz.. Pple, Please give me a voucher that I will use in future.. I don't go Isetan.. So Robinson voucher would be fantastic~~

Baby came to fetch me at 6.20pm and there was a huge jam in IBP... Y?
Coz there are too many lousy drivers in IBP which caused the massive am everyday... Well not that I am mean or what.. but their driving skills really sux...

During the traffic jam, I turned and took a peep at the back seats of baby's car... Immediately he knew what I was looking for.. (his jogging bag). . so he took the chance to tease that we are going jogging later... and that his jogging bag is in the boot...
Yea right! It would kill me if he really insisted on jogging.. haha..

So I went home to change before we headed out for dinner.. Went pass the durian stall and baby was craving for it again..
In the end he bought 6 small durians for $10.
We went to the void deck at Blk 465 and bought passion fruit ice blended before we started feasting on the durians..
It's seriously my first time eating durians in the public.. or rather void deck...
The durians were so much nicer that the 7 for $10 ones..
Yummy!

Then there was this durian with a tiny hole on its shell.. I took a seed and offered to baby to share..
He ate half (luckily only half!) ... Then I look suspiciously at the shell and decided to "inspect" the seed before I eat..
No wonder pple always say that women's instinct is the most powerful thing on earth...
When I turned the seed, there was this fat red worm on the durian!!!!!!!!!!!!
*screamz!*
I threw the durian into the plastic bag and got grossed out..

Baby flipped the durian seed and saw the worm... Oh gross!
So lucky that it's a full worm instead of half a worm.... =________="
He was laughing and was glad that he didn't took a bigger bite..
hahhaa....
We finished the rest of the durians in a very paranoid mood..

26 Jun 09

Finished work at 6pm today.. coz it's TGIF!! so I don't wanna work late~
Baby came to fetch me as usual and we headed to JP for dinner.. *Hungry!*

I wanted to go to the new food court in JP2.. There wasn't much stuff to eat..so I make do with fish ball kway tiao which baby wanted to order..
Hmm.. I don't know why but baby ordered kway tiao soup for me..
=________="
Tasted like the type of soupy food that you eat when you are sick...
*sulked*
Baby's Mee Pok dry looks so much yummier~
Btw it cost $4.50 for that bowl of kway tiao.. so freaking over-priced!

The food court has too few seats, so there were endless stream of pple walking around and standing around waiting/queuing...
Felt so irritated... I don't like to eat in very crowded and noisy place.. especially with pple walking around and looking at your food etc.. Makes me feel like the animals in the zoo...
Baby noticed that I was very distracted by the pple moving around and so I told him that I will not eat at that place again..

Baby wanted to get a watch that measures the heart rate, distance travelled and calories burnt.. but he could find one that is suitable.. They are either too ugly or they come with an additional transmitter which he doesn't like..

After some window shopping at JP, we headed back to baby's place to watch TV before I return home.. Can't stay over at baby's place coz I need to wake up early for Yueting's wedding tmr.

27 Jun 09

Rushed down to city via cab at 8.40am~ Yueting's wedding is held in Armenian Church in City Hall..
She is sooooooooooo pretty in the wedding gown~
The wedding photos are very well taken and very sweet looking.. I think I may consider using that bridal shop for photo shoot if I were to get married when I am 26~!

Saw Jessica at the wedding, and she has slimmed down sooooooo much!
She said that London Weight Management is really good and she had lost so much weight in just 3 sessions!
She gave me a complimentary trial and I am so going to attend it!

After the wedding, we went Raffles place and city link for a while before heading back home..
I finally get to see my bro in his botak head after 3 weeks~ hahah He thought that I had disappeared from home for the past 3 weeks.. haha..
He looks ok in the botak head.. just that his head looks big..
and his army cap is really huge...

Baby came to my house to bomb my toilet before we headed off to JB..
He wanted to try out the paintball before the real game on 5th July~
wahhaah...
The jam at the causeway was really bad... We left home ard 3pm and reached JB at 5pm... I fell asleep during the jam coz I woke up so early today..
Baby let me rest and only woke me up when we reached the custom..
Felt so guilty for leaving baby alone to endure the jam.. while I happily enjoy my sleep.. =P

Was very hungry by the time we reached Danga city mall.. So we went to the cafe to eat.. We ordered 2 ayam nasi lemak, 2 soft drinks, 1 plate of pan-fried dumplings and 2 egg tarts.. Those only cost us RM18..
They forgot to charge us for the 2 egg tarts though.. and we only found out after we paid..
After the meal, we went up to enquiry abt the paintball stuff.. It cost RM45/person for 3 missions.. and no time limit. The game ends when the mission is completed or when the team ran out of paintballs.. But of coz additional paintballs can be purchased @ 500 for RM130, 1000 for RM200 and 2000 for RM350.

We tried out the target shooting @ 25 paintballs for RM10. I did quite well and managed to hit most of the targets.. whahaha..
I started to brag abt it to baby.. until he laughed and "scolded" me haolian...
I challenged him to archery and bet that I will win coz I was a former archery club member~
There was a big group of Singaporeans playing the archery.. Seems like it some kind of group outing or church outing...
So we waited for them to leave before we could play..

Paid RM13 for 36 arrows, so we had 18 each.. The guy at the booth asked if it's my first time playing so I lied and said yes.. Coz it's been sooo long since I last played archery.. don't wanna malu myself.. hahah...
He demonstrated to me and I hit the bull's eye on the first shot!!
Cool!
Then it was baby's turn to shoot..
Once he released the arrow, he was groaning in pain... and he could put his right arm down..
He said that he had tear his right arm ligament a few yrs ago when playing soccer... so now it hurts when he exerts any force on the arm above the shoulder level...
So poor thing... So I helped him massage his arm and he couldn't play the archery anymore..
I had to finish all the remaining 34 arrows by myself~
My arms were tired halfway through and the aiming got worse.. haha..
The guy gave me another bow that is slightly lighter...
Well~ My overall shooting was good.. and within the circles~~ hahaa... except for a few that were totally out of the board due to fatigue arm... =P

The guy said that my shooting was quite good~
*smirk* =P and I started to haolian to baby again~~
I said that he must be scared that's why he fake injury.. hahhaa...

Went to the poster shop and baby bought 1 Liverpool, 1 Chelsea and 1 PS2 games poster @ RM10/each...
The horrible cheena shopkeeper treated baby very well this time round coz he bought something from the shop..
The previous time when baby didn't buy anything, the shopkeeper actually said "Our shop is for buying.. not for browsing.."
=_________="
Typical Cheena sales attitude... *sux*

Went to one hawker near Holiday plaza for dinner..
Baby rmb that I don't like pple walking around when I eat so he was trying hard to find a better table in the hawker that is away from the stalls..
But it was quite packed so I just concentrate on the food instead of the surrounding..
I didn't want to make things difficult for baby since he had already put in his effort to care for me~
We shared carrot cake and Char Siew Chee Cheong Fan..
I saw pple ordering butter crayfish and it looks yummy~~
Baby noticed that I kept looking at the next table's crayfish so he asked if I want to have that too..
Too bad I was quite full so didn't order it~

Then bought 3 kgs of mangosteen for RM10.
Baby was very surprised that it's my 1st time eating mangosteen..
and he kept making fun of me... saying that I am "mountain tortoise"...
Well.. I don't see that's a problem for not eaten mangosteen before..
I have never eaten starfruit before too~
=P

Came back from JB around 8+pm..
stayed over at baby's place coz I was too tired..
Baby has been treating me very nicely, showing care and concern for me..
Felt so happy that he dotes on me~~
=)
Love him lots lots!

28 Jun 09

Baby woke me up at 11+am.. It's rare that he let me sleep till so late ("late" according to him)...
Went coffee bean for brunch.. Ordered my favourite Salmon Scramble and his fav. egg ben..
Found that my smoked salmon scramble shrunk in serving size..
*sulk..*
There were so few pieces of salmon!!!
I don't care abt economy crisis or what-so-ever..
Cheating me of my salmon is the worst sin to do!!!
*hrmp!*

Went prawning after that.. Baby knew that I don't like fishing so he suggested prawning~~ (I like prawning~~!)
There weren't many pple today so I was quite happy to prawn there~
We found a strategic location with lotsa prawns and baby caught so many~~
Overall we caught 27 prawns over the 3 hours~
Cool~!

Went back to baby's place to cook prawn pasta~
Not bad~
After dinner, baby went to have his hair cut~ This time his hairstyle looks so much nicer~~ No longer the Wang Wang hair anymore~~!
I like his new hair cut!
He seemed pleased when I compliment on it~

My bro agreed to lend me his camera for the Bangkok trip~!
Finally I settled the camera issue! It felt so frustrating for not owning a camera!
In return I will have to buy clothes for my bro and his gf~
Glad that I will be able to take tons of pictures in Bangkok!!
So looking forward to it!!

Counting down 18 days to my bday!!

24 Jun 09

Went to school for lab after work..
was actually quite moody since yesterday coz I have lab today and test for tomorrow...
But I will be super relaxed and happy once my test is over!

The lab work was quite ok coz we split into 3 parts to do.. so we finished all the pract work by 9pm...
But there was some errors in our calculation and ended up finishing the report only at 9.40pm..
*sadded*

I was surprised that Baby came to fetch me.. coz he didn't tell me before hand..
He was having dinner with his colleagues nearby so he reached PSB pretty quickly after I msg him at 9.10pm..
So paiseh gotta let him wait again..

25 Jun 09

Had test today.. and I only managed to study them in the afternoon.
Heng ah.. the test is do-able so I think I can score quite well for it~
=)
So happy that test is over!!

Saw Pandora and Yanhong in the class..
Yanhong wore shirt and pants.. so formal~~ bet she is going out after the test..
And Pandora was wearing a Tee and the design is similar to the one I bought for baby in Forever21 !!
Both the Tees have a printed aviator shade on the v-neck area~~
Just that Pandora's Tee is dark grey (more of the vintage type) while baby's is black and had rhinestones on the rim of the printed shades...
Haha.. better not tell baby abt it or else later he refuse to wear the Tee liao...

Baby planned to pick me up after my test so he went jogging 1st..
But I finished the test within 1/2 hour so I went his place to look for him instead..
Save the trouble of him driving over and me had to wait another 1/2 hour..

2009-06-22T20:13:00.002+08:00

19 Jun 09

Didn't go lab today coz the lab looks too difficult and complicated...
So went to take mc to cover this pract...
Me and baby then went to Farmart to have dinner.. hmm.. the zhi char there isn't that nice and quite pricey too..

Then we went to the prawn farm ... At 1st we intended to go prawning.. but looking at the nets of the pple there, we think that it's not a nice day to prawn..
Everyone caught so few and surely we would end up the same if we were to also do so...
I noticed that they have increased the prices from $27 to $30 for 3 hrs..
Plus they have this mini competition on Fridays where they give out cash prices to pple who caught prawns with color tags...

After hanging around there for a while, baby decided that maybe we should try out the prawning farm at The Village (which used to be the reptile park)..
Well.. it was the same case over there, so in the end we decided to head back to baby's place..

20 Jun 09

I woke up at 11+am.. not wanting to go to sch today..
So baby decided to go JB..
We went to check out the Danga City Mall.. Nothing much there.. Most of the shops were unoccupied...
Other than Metrojaya, the rest of the shops CMI... especially the food court... it sells yucky food...

Then we found this shop that sells paintball equipment and stuff.. They even have a paintball ground on the top level..
There was this crazy Singaporean who kept psycho_ing baby to join them to play paintball and to buy personal markers, armours etc...
Good thing that he noticed my black face, and kept his preaching short...
Baby got very interested in that paintball thingy.. and even considered buying the full set which costs RM1.5k ...
Well I am also interested in paintball, but it should only be for leisure, not a hobby!
=_____="
Luckily I dissuaded him...

So I told baby that we could organise a outing to play paintball with our friends next time...
and buying the personal set is totally unnecessary especially when you can't bring it back to Singapore..
The place is flooded with Singaporeans coz the charges are really CHEAP...
1 full game with all the armour, space rental, and marker + 100 balls only cost RM45...
So it's a good idea to play there with friends...
I must emphasize on with FRIENDS.. and not some super paintball-crazy-pple who thought that they are so cool or what...

After that we went to the Festive mall at Danga Bay..
Nothing much there too.. It looks like those shops which you would see in Chatuchak in Bangkok.. Just that it is fully air conditioned..
So we decided to head home..
On our way back, we saw this shopping centre named Awana.. so we drove there for dinner..
The shops there are soo much better...
Had dinner at KFC, bought a pack of tapioca chips and went back to Singapore..

It was still early, so we went to prawn instead~
The prawn farm in farmart was so crowded!
Kids, teenagers, aunties, uncles were all around the pond..
=____="
Spent $30 for 3 hrs there and caught only 7 prawns...
The worst number of catch ever!
All because it was over crowded by pple!!
Guess next time I will go on weekdays.. more worth it...

21 Jun 09

Baby woke me up at 10+am...
I went home to change my clothes before we head off to Bedok Jetty for fishing..
Bought brunch at ECP mac drive-thru.. Love the fries and double cheese burger~~~

The sun was blocked by the clouds when we reached there...
I went tambaning but caught nothing.. there were thousands of small fishes swimming under the jetty but none of them bit at the bait...
After a while the sun was out.. and the heat was too unbearable...
I hid under the shade that baby set up and played my psp until I was all sweaty and sticky..

I didn't like feeling sticky so I asked baby what time we are leaving..
He saw my super grumpy face and couldn't help teasing me...
=___=" so evil...

Baby asked if I wanted to eat ice kachang.. I told him that I only need water.. coz I am super thirsty..
So he drove to Alexander hawker and we drank 3 big glasses of sugar cane~
I wanted to eat hor fun, but there isn't any there.. so I told him I don't want to eat liao..
but baby was very nice, he went around and got me char kway tiao..
Though the kway tiao sux but i still ate half of it coz it's baby's care for me..
Think if he dotes me too much I might turn into "My sassy girl" =P

Later at night I fell asleep and baby woke me up at 8+pm..
He wanted to go westmall for a walk, so we went coffee bean to relax and enjoy the air con..
The weather was just too warm for human...

2009-06-19T01:41:00.002+08:00

16 Jun 09
Durians are so freaking cheap now... Coz the weather is tooo hot.. and so there is a fantastic harvest of durians...
Mama helped me bought 7 durians for only $10~

The moment she stepped into the house, I could smell the aroma of the durians~!
So I immediately opened one to try..
The meat was sooooooo yellowish-orange and tender~!
*Heavenly*
The durians are small and on average there are only 4-5 seeds each.. so I finished 3 durians with my papa~
After that I msg Baby to come over after work to taste the yummy durians...

Baby saw the brillant color of the durians and once he tasted it, he was totally addicted to it...
He seemed super excited when I told him that I had ordered 7 more durians and yet to be collected from the stall..
Once he finished the 2 remaining durians, he quickly got me to change my clothes so that we could collect the order...
hahhaa...
He dilligently carried the load back to my house and we left no durians at all..
*bloated*
Guess that feast would last us for a number of days before we would crave for good durians again...
=P

17 Jun 09

Met up with Dragon during lunch coz he wanted to tell me abt the insurance thingy...
Not persuading me to buy any policy coz he knows that I am not interested in it..
So it just abt some portfolio thingy..

Went to Ichiban Sushi @ IMM with baby after work..
I was so craving for jap food after looking at the picz of waraku food that we ate with Yueting..
Plus I was very hungry even though I ate a Mac Nugget meal in the afternoon..
I suggested going Baystreet 21 but baby thinks that it's too overpriced..

After looking at the menu.. I was attracted by their set meals and forgot totally abt the yummy udon that they have...
So me and baby each ordered a set meal..
Well... as expected, half way through the meal we were very bloated already...
Baby had to finish the remaining half of my rice and my chicken for me...
=)
His chicken was a bit too salty... so disappointing...
I regretted not ordering the nabeyaki udon... *regret!!!*
But still, I think waraku has nicer food than Ichiban and their servings are HUGE~~~~~

Saw Yoke Yew tabaoing Ichiban when we were queuing to foot our bill..
Guess he must be working late so he needs to tabao...
I told baby that he is the "Mr LV" in our office coz he is branded from head to toe...
=)
so envious!

18 Jun 09

Went monitoring in KK today..
I bought 600 glucosamine tablets for papa, mama and baby..
they were sold @ $4 for 50 tabs, so much cheaper than those on shelves...

Later at night baby was watching the travel show in Okto channel..
Then he suddenly say he wanted to go Turkey coz it seems interesting and he had nvr been there before...
Hmm.. air tickets to Turkey wouldn't be cheap.. but would be a good experience to see a total different culture..
For me, I would still prefer Japan or Korea~ =)

Can't wait for our bangkok trip!!

2009-06-16T16:44:00.003+08:00

15 Jun 09

Baby called me in the morning and after confirming the details with him, I booked the tix in office~
It costs $368 for 2 pax... hmm.. not very budget for a budget airline...
=(
I was expecting it to cost only abt $300 or lesser...
But since it's the 1st time I am taking budget airline, I shall not grumble so much~
Dragon papa asked me not to worry abt baby's pocket, and asked me to just book SQ ~
hahhaa... he should know what kind of person I am... so obviously I wouldn't be so mean to baby..
If it's at my own expense, I will book SQ..

After that I was spending a lot of time searching for suitable hotels..
Joyce recommended Samran hotel (a 3 star hotel near siam paragon) which cost only $47 per night..
I like a few hotels e.g
- Silom Serene (I stayed there during the previous bkk trip.. & I rmb choking their toilet with my "bombs" *grossed* =P)
- Unico Grande Silom (love the room, the roof top swimming pool and restaurant!
- Baiyoke Sky (my goodness.. they have up to 74 storeys!)
- Their serviced apartments are pretty too!

Later in the evening, baby went jogging at the canal while I was reading the travel guide that baby had borrowed from his company's library~
He had done his bit of research as well~~
Baby told me that he don't want too cheapo hotel, so ard 4 stars will be good..
That surprised me again.. hahaha.. coz mostly pple go bangkok will stay in 3 stars hotel.. coz they are reasonably cheap and comfy..
So I showed him all the 3 stars hotels that I researched on~

I shall not book the hotel so early now... coz that stupid SIA got promo right after I booked my tiger airway... The stupid SQ only cos $200+ inclusive of taxes for 1 pax...
argh...

2009-06-16T01:46:00.004+08:00

13 Jun 09

Baby came to pick me up ard 12pm to eat brunch~
He brought me to dover hawker to try the wanton mee.. But I still think the wanton mee at JW st 51 Blk 505's much nicer~~
=)

After that I was a bit grumpy coz baby wanna go fishing again..
Coz it was still early so we went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to buy his prawns.. and I started become very grumpy..
Then I complained that he keeps going fishing.. nvr spend proper time with me etc..
And I grumbled that other pple's bf will accompany them for school etc...
Baby thought it was ridiculous coz my lecturer would spot him in class.. but it's a big lecture room and the lecturer wouldn't be bothered to check...
In the end baby see me so unhappy and gave into me!!
*super happy!*

He went to get 2 books (one on human anatomy and pathology, and the other on palm reading)
Later in class we chose the seats at the back of the room at one corner..
Then he got interested in knowing who were the ones that I had been telling him abt..
So I pointed them to him.. especially the scandalous pair... haha..
After that I was doing my mock test and after that listening to the lecturer go through the answers, while baby read his newspapers..

Once the going through of the mock test was done, I told baby that I am calling it a day..
hehe.. not so interested in staying to learn abt thermodynamics..
Baby was surprised that we learn that topic when his course didn't cover that...
Haha.. time for me to haolian again~~

Baby then decided to bring me to Bukit Timah (somewhere near KAP) where there is a forest trail where all the durians grow..
He wanted to try picking up some durians~ For the fun of it~ =)
So interesting~ Finally there is something different to do in Singapore~
We went into the forest and I was bitten 6 times by the stupid mosquitoes..
I was totally in the wrong outfit.. I was wearing a tank top and skirt + slippers...
Bet those mosquitoes were popping champagne when they saw me... (Fresh O+ blood)

After a while baby was sweating like mad.. and we still didn't managed to get any durians..
There were so many other people going round to pick durians..
Guess it's because of the rain earlier, so pple knew that the durians would drop and came to pick them...
There was once we heard a loud thup, and then a few uncles dashed towards a tree to pick up the durians..
Well.. it's not as if we were going to fight with them.. so don't know what's all the kiasu-ness was abt...
=___="

The sky started to get dark, so me and baby quickly leave the durian loop.. In case we lost our way in the forest trail..
We headed back to the car and quickly on the air con to full blast and totally enjoyed it!
We then drove past Bukit Timah Market and decided to have our dinner there~
Ordered so much food..
We had 5 chicken wings, chee kuay, char kuay tiao and oyster omelette, plus 2 glasses of soya milk with grass jelly and a glass of sugar cane juice~
*bloated*

Went back baby's place to rest.. too full to move abt...
he then started to read the palm-reading book and kept comparing it to my palm...
hahhaa.. so cute..
he is really interested into such stuff..

Later the night ard 8pm, Dragon papa jio us out to Bukit Panjang plaza..
Dragon papa's family and Adrian + Wife were at the Streets Cafe for dinner..
Adrian then indirectly revealed that his wife is 3 mths pregnant~~ COngrats to them~!
But they seemed worried when they saw how busy Dragon papa and his wife were when taking care of their 2 princesses...
Well.. seriously speaking.. I also have the fear of taking care of kids..
Coz I am not a person with patience..
But for Darren, he seemed to like kids a lot..

14 Jun 09

Baby woke me up at 10+am.. I was supposed to meet joyce lee to the pc fair in suntec at 2pm..
but later she decided not to go, so we will be meeting at 6pm in Clarke Quay..
It's the hen's outing for Yueting~~~
Her church wedding will be on 27th Jun 09~ So happy for her!

We went to blk 505 JW that hawker for brunch~
Baby wanna try the very-yummy-wanton-mee which I strongly recommended =)
The queue at the stall is long (as usual).. Baby tasted the wanton mee but he didn't seem to like it a lot.. coz the serving was small to him..
hahah... He always prefer big portions..
I was happily eating the wanton mee coz I seldom have the chance to eat it..
I tend to oversleep during weekends and by the time I woke up, the stall would have closed for the day.. =P

After that I went home to change my clothes and then I suggested baby to go fishing.. coz I think he will be very bored to wait till 6pm..
I knew that he had planned to go fishing at 2pm when I meet joyce...
So he bought some prawns from West coast and headed to labrador park.
It was rather crowded at the park.. there were a few events/outings going on...
We chose a spot under the tree and started fishing..

Baby had bought lychee, so I sat comfortably on the portable chair and peel the lychees~
Happened to met the fishball noodles vendor that used to sell at blk 491... he was there fishing with his 2 sons and 1 daughter..
After sometime, we saw the Star Virgo leaving harbourfront..
Baby suddenly ask me what I wanted to do or go on my birthday..
I told him that it's his duty to plan! and he laughed...
How could he not plan for my birthday right?? =P

Then he asked:"You want to go Star Virgo cruise or Bangkok?"
*Surprised*
I thought he was kidding me.. so I kept asking him if he is serious..
After he confirmed that he's not kidding, I chose Bangkok~~
HEhehe... I would love to go bkk again to shop!! I think it would be so much better than stuck on the cruise..
I was so surprised and kept asking him if he is joking...
=)
Yeah~! I am going bkk with baby on my birthday at his expense~!~!~
*Happy!!*

I always thought that baby is not the type of person who will plan things.. but now I slowly understand him liao..
He is so much like my papa... The type of guy who is more practical and will show his love through his actions.. not the type that show with words or surprises...
*love my baby~!*

I went to meet Yueting and joyce at clarke quay at 6+..
Yuhua was super late so the 3 of us went to Waraku in Central first..
The servings in waraku are so huge.. and we almost bloat to death...
They had changed their menu.. so they no longer have small and regular sizes... now it's all standard servings...
But the food is still of good quality and value for money!~

Ilona joined us later ard 8+pm.. then we proceeded to Haagen Daz for ice cream fondue~!
Soooo Yummy!~!

I reached home at 11pm..
I quickly went to check out tiger airways' promo tix to bkk..
But baby slept early so I couldn't discuss with him..
So i decided to book it on the next day after consulting Joyce regarding the tix fare..

2009-06-13T00:24:00.001+08:00

Just now chat with dragon papa...
He said that baby is a all rounder since primary sch..
Which I kinda agree.. coz he knows a lot of things which really surprized me..
Other than the language part.. haha.. which I don't think he is fluent..

I told dragon that he is a bit self centered.. and he agreed..
He told me that it's only the beginning...
OMG... so I was right about it..

I am seriously not used to this..
Coz I am used to be the center of attention...
and I am used to pple putting me in the 1st place..
so I really don't know how to accept self centered pple...

haiz...

2009-06-08T17:39:00.010+08:00

01 Jun 09

Finally I went to school... Coz I will be skipping the wednesday's lesson so I die die have to go there to collect my lecture notes and lab manual..

Saw someone who looked like Minyu from the back view... I was sure so I didn't dare to approach her...

I was about to msg her when the person turned around and it's really Minyu~!

Yeah~ I have company for this module~~ *Happy*

02 Jun 09

Went to Boonlay to collect the ferry tickets and resort confirmation voucher after work..

Then went to JP to meet Elaine and ah yi coz I had to borrow camera from them...

(I seriously seriously need my Canon ixus 100 is!!!)

Had dinner at Billy Bomber.. We ordered Fish n Chips.. and it sucks..

I will not go there ever again~

03 Jun 09

So excited!!! Tmr will be Baby's bday~! and the day to execute my surprise for him~!

My main task for today is to finish packing my bag and then head over to baby's place to pack his...

He worked till 8+pm so he came over to my place to pick me up..

He was staring at my huge and fully-filled bag (my doggy tote bag that I bought from Taiwan)..

Then we head off to the prata shop at Gombak for dinner coz my tiny left over double cheese burger would not be enough to share..

After the dinner, we went back to Baby's house.. While he was watching TV, I started packing his stuff into the deuter bag pack which I made him prepare..

I was ransacking his wardrobe and came across his old clothes..

OMG~~~ they were so small~~ all sized M!! Haha.. so I was teasing him on how slim he used to be...

(Jia you baby!! I know you can be that fit again!)

I packed extra set of clothes for him, in case they get wet if we play water sports. He seemed uninterested in what I am doing... hahaha...

I remembered to pack his shaver and shaving cream in too.. I can't imagine how ragged he would look if he did not shave for 1 day...

=__="

04 June 09

Baby woke up very early in the morning.. haha.. he must be scared that I will sleep till noon...

We went to the bank first coz baby wanted to make sure that his mum don't get robbed on the way there.. she had just won 40k on 4D on wednesday... so lucky!

After that we had our breakfast (my fav. half boiled eggs and toast + Milo!) I told baby that we must leave at 10am and reach "the place" by 11am..

He asked where we heading to.. but I told him that I don't know.. =P

We happened to meet his mama at the MRT station again and his mum asked if we are going out to play.. hahhaa.. actually I am kidnapping him to batam~~~ but I couldn't say the destination coz it's meant to be a surprise for baby~~

After reaching Habourfront, I had to check in at the ferry counter.. so baby finally know where we are going~~~

Then he got worried... He started asking questions like:

- why are we going there? (my ans: to see see)

- you have been there before? you know where to go? (my ans: nope.. don't know? anyhow walk loh..)

- we didn't have rupiah.. how are we going to spend there? (my ans: I am a millionnaire now..)

- what are we going to do there? (my ans: play loh)

- where are we going to stay? (my ans: erm.. by the roadside..)

Then when it's 11.30am, we proceeded to the boarding area~ We saw the duty free shop and saw so many wines and liquor at dirt cheap prices... So wanted to buy the volka!! but.. we were told that we had to be in batam for 3D2N before we can buy any liquor... =(

*saddening*

On the ferry, we chose to sit on the 2nd level in the air con place... we couldn't take the open-air seats as they were all occupied.. =(

After the ferry departed from the terminal, baby started becoming quiet..

Then he asked me :"Will you get sea sick?"

OMG~!~!~!~!!!~! I didn't put this issue into account!! It wasn't part of my 6-mth planning that baby could get sea sick!!

=_____________="

I told him not to scare me... and if he wanted to puke, there is a huge bin in front.. so NEVER puke on me..

Luckily baby survived the 1hr trip to Batam~~ *phew*

We cleared the custom and then board the shuttle bus to Harris~

While checking in the resort, the staff of Harris began performing their welcome dance..

Then they served us our welcome drink (tasted like honeydew) and cold towel together with several vouchers:

- a free Harris Gift ( a key chain or bookmark or luggage tag... I chose the key chain)

- a free regular pizza

- one free bowling game for 2

- my spa vouchers

- shuttle bus to Nagoya city

Our room number was 212..

Baby rmb to knock the door before we enter the room~ haha.. I totally forgot abt that..

The room was big! and it has a pool view~~

The toilet's clean and came with a bath tub~~ The bed is clean and springy (I was jumping on it most of the time.. =P)

And they have TV with a variety of channels~
And it has a fabulous pool view!!
I started to get busy taking photos~

After that we went to have our complimentary pizza at the cafe...
The other food at the cafe is damn ex!
One plate of rice cost 22 SGD... =____="
That's crazy lah... cheating tourists' $$...
When we finished our pizza, we took the Harris resort map and went around to explore the place..

The sea looks like Singapore's sea... greyish...
the air soft gun area is quite run down..
The spa area looks good, the bowling is ok, and the sea sports looks run down too..
So in the end we spend our time in the resort room until 4pm for our massage~
I was staring at the pool and told baby that I MUST go there and play before we head back to sg..
=)

The massage was so so only...
They gave us a couple hut and ask us to wrap in sarong, wearing only panties inside..
But the massage wasn't as relaxing as the Thai massage which I had in Bangkok..
A bit disappointing..
Baby also thinks that Thai massage is better..
=(
Too bad..
We left the place feeling super greasy due to the massage oil.. yucks...
SO we head back to our room to bath..
I bathed twice but I still feel a bit oily...
I dun think I will ever go for Indo massage again..

We went to take a cab down to 933 Golden Prawn Seafood restaurant for dinner..
The cab ride was super long!! it took us 45 mins to reach the place...
Mainly because the traffic was slow...
It was the highly recommended place in Batam..
So these are was we ordered :
- Oyster Omelette
- 0.8kg of Black Pepper Crab
- Fried Chicken
- Sambal Kangkong
- Cereal Prawn
- 2 Coconut
- 2 cans of coke

All the food only cost SGD50+... Freaking cheap!!
The crab only cost ard SGD17!
Their belachan chilli is good~!
As for the food, hmm.. I would say so so only..
heheh.. I am very picky abt food.. so I still think that seafood in Malaysia tastes better~!!

After the heavy meal, we went to take a look in the local products store..
It's located just outside the restaurant.. I guess it's mainly for the tourists...
Not attracts me except for the beer that is freaking cheap again..
One can of Carlsberg only cost SGD1+...
Dirt cheap!!
So we bought 1 can of beer and 2 cans of soft drinks~
Our cab driver was waiting for us to fetch us back to the resort..
The cab fare is EX...
The two way trip cost us SGD38... It's fixed price by the resort.. so no point bargaining..

I had planned to secretly buy a slice of cake from Harris and then arrange the light sticks into "Happy Birthday Dar"
But after the heavy meal... I totally forgot abt the cake thingy...
So my poor baby had no cake for his bday this yr!
My bad!!

We rested for quite a while before we decided to play bowling~~
Again, the bowling rate is dirt cheap!
3 games (inclusive of shoes rental) cost only SGD5!
Together with our bowling voucher, we each had 4 games to play~!
I was all ready to show baby how "good" I am in bowling..
and was so confident of winning him, especially when he told me that he hadn't play that for ages...

Half way through the game... I knew I was totally defeated...
Baby actually got the hang of it and scored 178 in the 3rd game...
He had 6 strikes for that game...
*sulk*
I was badly defeated... and I also broke my nails during the game..
He missed by 2 points which would have won us a free pizza~
They will give away free pizza voucher for anyone that scored >180 points..
Too bad~

Baby wanted to sing KTV so we went to take a look at their karaoke lounge..
But it was a Korean KTV..
OMG... most of the songs are korean.. and there were a few koreans singing damn loudly in the main lounge..
So we didn't sing in the end..

05 Jun 09

Woke up ard 7am~ coz we wanna have our breakfast buffet~
There isn't much variety, not as much as the sheraton hotel that I stayed during the Bangkok trip..
But their scrambled egg is fantastic!~

So after the dinner I was planning to bring baby to the Nagoya city to shop shop..
but was told that the shuttle bus leaves at 11am and will pick us up at 2.30pm...
and then the last ferry for the day was 2.10pm..
I felt so cheated! The agency told me that they have the last ferry at 4.30pm.. but that's only for weekend according to Harris!!
=(
So we couldn't go to the city.. and no shopping for us...
I was so disappointed again!! I bet baby was feeling the same too..

We wanted to play some water sports, like kayaking, but after looking at the sea..
I gave up.. coz it look dangerous.. especially there was no one else kayaking..
We went back to the room.. and I stared at the pool again..
So I got baby to go swim and sun tan with me!!
He knew that I wouldn't go home unless I have played in the pool..
So we changed into the bikini and swimming trunks and head down to the pool~!

The water was sooo cooling~~~
We played basketball in the pool and I was really lousy at it..
It took me almost 20+ shots before I got 1 shoot in....
The basket ball area was 1.52m... which I was so scared of going there.. coz I am only 1.5++
So I stayed around that area to be safe.. hahah...
I got baby to teach me swimming.. but failed.. coz I was so scared of the water especially when my feet can't touch the bottom on the pool...
I tried learning how to kick while hugging onto the basket ball.. think I look idiotic... =P

So in the end I gave up learning how to swim.. I just cling onto baby's back and got him to ferry me around..
hahah...
Then I went to put my tanning oil and tan myself..
It started to get a bit too hot after a while, so I decided to return to the pool again..
We went back to our room at abt 11.30 am to wash up and prepare to check out at 12pm.

The shuttle bus will fetch us to the ferry terminal at 1.30pm, so meanwhile we went to the bowling place to play snooker..
I didn't play very well in the beginning coz I seldom play that..
Baby was quite good at it.. Which really surprise me..
He seemed to know a lot..
Like diving, swimming, fishing, Rc planes, bowling, singing and probably a lot more that I didn't know yet..
impressed...
After 2 rounds, I began to know the tactic.. so I was on par with baby~
*so happy~*

The ferry trip back to singapore was much better coz we sat at the non air con area where we can see the sea and feel the wind..
So baby was perfectly fine, no more sea sick this time round~
Took a number of photos~ and also photos of 2 seagulls that followed our ferry~
Baby was very tanned and his face was dark red~~
While my face was red like lobster... and I had the bikini tan plus the tank top tan.. =___="

2009-06-01T23:15:00.002+08:00

I am so so excited abt Baby's bday on this Thursday!!
I wonder how he would react to the surprise I got for him~~~
*excited!!*

Guess he is not very enthu abt his bday coz it will officially make him 32!
Well.. considering that fact that I almost got depression for being 24...
Being 32 is gonna be hard on him...
hehehe... the beginning of the Ah-Peh-Hood...

So excited!!

Work hours was so super sian!
And finally it's 6pm!!
Had told baby that I wanna go home at 6pm sharp!
Well.. hehe.. he had listened to me~ He came to pick me up at 6 sharp~ =)
But still I was really in a SIAN mood...
So I didn't really bother abt baby...
He had his dinner at blk 496 coffee shop.. I was too full to eat anything then..
I finished a large pack of fries and medium coke during lunch.. then left the double cheese burger till 4pm to eat.. so I was still bloated at 6pm...

Cooked pasta for lunch tmr.. and pan-fried salmon... it didn't look delicious at all..
=(
Maybe the salmon wasn't that fresh.. and I should have cooked the Teriyaki style...

Tmr is Friday... soooo don't feel like going to work...
Bored to death liao!!!
Hope time in office will fly pass quickly...
Already can't wait for off work liao!~~!
