festive mood..

in another 4 more days will be the long awaited X'mas.. Can already feel the vibe of the festive already..

2 day weekend...

used to the long weekend which i have had in 2 consecutive week, therefore the weekend which had jus passed by seems really short.. :( why cant we have 4 day work week only!!!

I came home right after work, went to get my car so that i could drive down to town later in the night to fetch him & go out after work.. I went to Bukit Timah Market, the one i used to go to buy their famous Satay Bee Hoon..

Was really tired & took a nap b4 going to meet him ard 11.. driving along CTE at that period of time toward town is really cool.. the traffic was really smooth unlike the one at the opposite direction..

We went to Cineleisure to get ticket for 风云II.. I am not a fan of the show but he is... We bought ticket for the 150am show & decide to go check out the Thai club at Orchard plaza call Neverland.. Rem the famous Sparks that was damn hot during our Sec sch time? Well, Neverland is located there now.. We just went there to take a look & walk back to Paranakan Place TCC to have coffee.. We tot the 2 hours awaiting for the show to start will crawl by slowly but we were wrong.. b4 we knew it, it was time for the show le...

Btw, the lighting this x'mas was really nice.. for those who haven go there to take a look, i strongly recommend u guys to go there for a walk ard wee hours.. no need to squeeze with the crowd and can enjoy the peaceful night with your loved ones.. :)

By the time we finished the show its already 4am in the morning.. Damn shagged out, that explain why we only woke up at 6pm the next morning.. yeah, wasted my saturday, my precious saturday slping...

We went to have the Thai steamboat.. Sumptuous dinner.. hehe.. Dear sent me back home after we went to Bugis to get my favourite dessert.. I doze off while watching Guess x3 ard 12 plus.. I am really like a pig!!

Dear came to find me in the noon the next day & we went to AMK for lunch.. Went to the Jap restaurant there.. After that, we make our way to Orchard cause i wanna go to 313 Somerset to check it out.. Wow, the place was really crowded.. We had a hard time finding a parking lot.. Think most of the S'porean was at Orchard for the new shopping experience and also the x'mas lighting this weekend...

We went to Orchard Central & check out their rooftop garden.. the view is superb but for those that had some phobia towards height, pls be prepared cause it looked damn scary when you look down from their rooftop garden....

We went to Beach Road to have the Yu Tou Lu & the heavenly Cereal Crayfish...

Though this weekend seems really short, it was an enjoyable one.. :)

Fake Mask??

Did my first online shopping for mask about a mth back.. Its the damn hot 我的美丽日记 mask from taiwan.. I got some when i went for my grad trip last yr and think the mask is really cheap and good..

Still had some left over from the trip and its depleting soon, that is why i am willing to try shopping for it online since i wont be able to travel there anytime soon... I came across this blogshop which i found on a online skincare forum and was just in time to take part in the so-called spree..

I placed my orders and transferred my money to the owner.. 1st issue is I did not get any reply from her for ages after the transferred was made with regards to the acknowledgement of the receipt.. 2nd thing that occur is, i found out that there are quite a no. of fake masks out there and there are claims saying that the blogshop which i get my masks from is selling the fake ones.. The owner came out to make clarification and even posted the picture of the mask that she carrying to assure her 'clients'.. So i thought it should be alright and did not go and think too much about it..

Finally she replied my email about a week later after i emailed her asking about the payment.. By then it was about 3 wks from when i made my transfer already.. She told me she did not receive any money from me which is quite impossible cause i had the transaction history in my bank account stating the transfer is through.. So I had to crop out that particular transaction and email to her as a proof of payment..

Then came the issue of her saying that she just found out from the supplier that the masks she brought in came from HK instead of Taiwan but they still came from the same distributor.. By then I am abit sianz already.. I did not cancel my order with her totally even though she say she can give me a refund.. Cause i was thinking she already bought the masks already, if i cancelled my orders jus like that she would be holding quite a no. of the masks.. On top of that, I was also hoping that there wont be a stark difference in the mask......

Today i got the masks and make a comparison with the one that i bought from taiwan... Well, upon comparison u can see a stark difference.. It totally match the description of the fake ones that was posted online.. Uneven edges, non-reflective wording on the side etc.... U can see the difference easily when placed beside the one which i bought earlier...

So i told her to refund me the remaining money to my account.. She quoted me a sum that is different from the earlier one.. Difference is not huge and its also not a matter of principle why i mind about the few cents.. Its more of, the unhappiness which i got from the mask which i highly think is fake ( based on the comparison made and the descriptions of the fake mask since i had never seen the mask from HK b4) and the irresponsible behaviour of hers after i make the payment..


Well, think i better be a cave-woman and guai guai stick to the traditional shopping ba..

dear fell sick~

yup.. the iron man of mine fall sick over the weekend.. normally i am the sickly person cause my immune system has been really weak after i started this job.. now, its my turn to take care of him..

Due to the bad weather, the killer pototo chips & choco together with him drking very little water all the time, the end result is---> sore throat & fever..

But b4 he got sick over the weekend, we manage to do sth together on Fri.. We did not meet last weekend due to my genting trip with my colleagues & his chalet with his Uni mates.. So am really looking forward to seeing him on Fri..

I went out with my colleague for a while b4 meeting him at his workplace after work.. We went to Cine & manage to get the ticket for 2012.. Went to have supper at the HK cafe & tot i would fell aslp due to the sumptuous supper & waking up early for work.. But i am too engrossed with the show.. The 2.5 hrs inside the theatre seems shorter than i tot it would be..

We went straight home after the show & slp until 2 plus the next day.. Too worn out from the late night we had previously.. Dear also started to feel feverish during tat time.. We went to eat porridge at Tiong Bahru b4 going to my place.. He concussed all the way once he reached my place.. He slp all the way until 930, woke up for some soup & i send him back home..


Sun:

Woke up ard 9, set my alarm wrongly.. should wake up at 8 one cause going to eat Dim Sum with my mum & sis at Hong Xing.. Its very near to where we used to stay.. Any time later den 9, you will see a long queue already..

As expected, when we reach ard 1030, the queue is there.. luckily we only waited for 10mins.. for those with bigger family n need a bigger table, the waiting time is longer..

It was a sumptous brunch & reminded me of my childhood where i used to go there quite often.. I send Mum & Sis to Suntec b4 heading down to find dear at his place.. He was still slping when i reached, guess its the effect of the medicine..

We went out later in the noon to find Ah Ma @ Dampsey.. She was having this flea market with Sarah.. Going there to show em some support & as an excuse to go shopping too.. :) We manage to find e place really fast & I got 2 dresses & a skirt from their stall...

We head to Bens' & Jerry at Dampsey after that..

Decide to go shopping at Orchard.. Haven been going there ever since we gotten our car in Sept.. In addition, i also want to check out my Coach bag.. Damn tempted to get one for myself... Went to the paragon one which Ida told me about.. Its really quite big & they had quite a no. of the latest design there...

We din shop for long cause dear started to feel a little feverish.. Think the medicine effect has worn off.. We went back to his place & he rested until 9 b4 we went for dinner @ holland v.... I was really quite worried about him.. I can understand how he feels when he saw me falling sick now.. :(

We had La Mian for dinner & he sent me home after that..

Bangkok~~ Here i come...

I am going to bangkok SOON.. haha.. well, its next year feb la... Jus book the air ticket for the trip about an hour back...



Been wanting to go on a trip really badly.. Best is can go this year end but because of my indecisiveness & such, i keep missing the good promo deal cause by the time i decide i want to go, the promo is either over or the timing is fully sold out..



Like the Bali one.. I had been dying to go that place but i miss the 200 plus deal.. argh... Then comes the time when i think that booking for promo fare that travel in Jan very off cause I am dying to go in Dec.. haiz.. Now, i jus dun care so much le.. Dun wan to miss the deal again.. Like this afternoon when i was checking the fare & slot, the Fri leave & Mon come back slot is still there but because i tot i might need to get my passport no. to book, I leave the booking until I came back home.. Who knows by then, the slot from Fri to Mon is already gone & now, I had to book the Sat to Tue slot..



Why i wanna travel in Dec so badly is because i really need to get some fresh air overseas badly & also, its a special month for me.....



I really duno after so long of not updating the blog, will there be ppl still coming to read it... Cause to some extent, I am still quite aware of wat i am writing here currently.. I really duno how has access to this blog & who hasnt.. Like for Benny, i am totally unsure he knows about this blog, even if he does, will he bother to come n look at it...



I hadnt been uploading alot of my entry which i written in a fit of the moment when things happened which i dun dare to upload it.. Cause i am scare of the consequences which might be hiding behind the things i said.. I scare that it might impact others thus i rather keep those entry unpublished.....

Recently I had been having alot of expectations of him & I dun think its a good thing at all.. Cause normally this kinda expectations thing will mostly lead up to consequences that are skewed more to a negative nature.....

Example, I had some expectations of him & will naturally hope he will do it.. But when he din, i will feel disappointed & this is the feeling which i HATE the MOST.. In order not to feel that, I will den try to tell him what i want, which in turn he will do it for me.. But at that point of time, I will feel that he did it because i ask him to not because he wanted or had the intention to do so.... That makes me sianz.. But in the first place, he might had the intention to do so, jus that b4 he did had the chance to, i already told him n make it known liao.... Contradicting, isnt it? Complicated too? Well, i think so too..... Haiz, is that consider as 钻牛角尖?

Erm, feel much better after blogging this out.. hehe...

Its another busy weekend..

JC frenz gathering at Marina Square on Fri night for Mr Jack's birthday.. Apart from that, we are also gathering for our SAW movie PACT which i dont know when did we ever made to one another.. But over the years, it seems to be a routine for us to gather & watch the movie.. Just the same as every year on X'mas day, we mus go to Shu's house for our X'mas dinner & potluck with the RUBBER BAND BEEHOON contributed by ah li... hehe...

Met at Kenny Rogers after a tiring day @ work.. Knew they would be late as usual so i shop abit along the way b4 going to meet em... Its been quite some time since i shop in town lo.. Ever since we got our car car, we had never spent our weekend in town.. We will always go somewhere inaccessible by public transport but made more accessible by car over the weekend now.. haha..

Wanted to get a dress one but realised i got MANY MANY dresses in my wardrobe now... Give up that idea & went to meet em instead.. Li & Andy were late.. We started without em cause we were really hungry by den.. Dinner was really great.. I jus love gathering of all sorts, with frenz whom i seldom get to meet.. It gives me a really warming feelings to talk to em & know wat is happening to their life recently...

Birthday boy & his gf

The JC time notorious gang : Fatty & Skinny

Quan Jia Fu

The legendary Ah's gang ( without Ah Ma)

The distorted b'day cake

I dun know why but recently the bday which i attend, the cake will always end up distorted and eaten this way.. Or in an unconvention way which i had never eaten it b4.. haha...

We went for the movie after dinner.. As usual, we draw lot to see who will be sitting beside who.. We always do alot of funny things together & this made me reminded of how much atrocious & weird things we had done during our JC times.. haha..

I think age is really catching up on me.. Cause during the first scene of the show, I was already freaked out already.. I couldnt seem to bring myself & watch the whole movie cause as & when i will jus cover my eyes with my hands when things got really gore..... In the past we used to think some scenes are really funny & fake.. But right now, i will get freak out even by the tinny-winny bit which doesnt seem the least frightening at all.. haha...

After the show, i felt really worn out.. Think the others felt almost the same as me... haha.. this is called 花钱买罪受.. We went to Paulaner for a short drk & did some catching up.. Only to realise that some of our classmates is already the wife or husband of another person le... Amazing.. I never imagine us to come at this stage.... haha... Felt abit scary... I still rem our innocent JC days, everything seems like it had jus happened yest.. Next time will we be talking about our house, our kids n such... haha...

Sat:

Dear came to find me in the late afternoon.. We will be going to Night Safari.. hehe.. Has been talking about that since a few wks le.. So excited about the the outing.. The last time i went there was about 11 yrs back with my Sec sch during my orientation outing..

We went to Chong Pang to have the Thai Zi Char for dinner with my mum.. Sent her back after that b4 we drove down to Mandai... The night was really cooling after the heavy rain in the afternoon... Its a perfect night to be out in the open with the animals.. hehe...

The place was bustling with ppl, its not wat i expected it to be at all.. Esp after the rain in the noon, I tot it would have deterred alot of ppl from coming out.. haha.. Dont know there are so many ppl who is like us, dun mind the weather, jus die die want to go.. haha..

Outside the entrance.. Evidence to show we DID go.. haha..

Can i bring all these home? Erm, but i dun think got enough place in my room..

Wondering will he still be so brave if this is a real snake.. hehe

I love TAME fury creature better..

We finally found the place to get the ticket & bought their leopard soft toy.. Both of us were really excited & we look more like tourist than local... Bought souvenir even b4 we enter the entrance.. haha..

We were jus nice for the Creatures of the Night Show which will only be available on certain days.. Went straight to queue & lucky we were early cause i think the show is really hot esp during the timing we went...

Our little leopard souvenir & my acting to be leopard BF..

The show is really nice with alot of animals that i like.. Like the otters, that dear say looks jus like me.. Tiny but VERY noisy... haha.. Then also got my fury raccoon.. The majestic wolf that dear like.. The tiny & cute little golden cat.... There are alot more... But because of the constraint of using flashes during the show for the good of our lovely animals, the pictures which i had taken during the show was alittle blur... But i think sometimes lovely memories will be kept inside one's mind forever, this happened to be one of em... :)

Really wan to remind those that will be going for the show, plz dun use flashes or torchlight when you go to Night Safari cause according to the ranger.. In the long run, the animal's eyes will become blind with all these.. Please love these animals........

After the interesting show, we went to took our Tram ride.. so excited.. hehe.. The night is really perfect, with the wind blowing on ur face when the tram is moving, the animals so close to you & someone you care sitting next to you enjoying tat very moment... :)

We had our mid-stop rest & walk along the leopard trail... Quite interesting but its really dark.. Am glad that i din go for the Halloween theme one cause I think I will be really freaked out.. We went into the flying squirrel enclosure.. Saw these really cute & HUGE squirrels that can glide at least 400m? But they din really show us their powerful gliding skills, instead they jus sit there on the branches, enjoying their food.. But we came really close to one of em who is crossing the pavement right in front of us... How i wish i can bring em back!!!

Later on, we went into the Mangrove Bats enclosure.... I was quite skeptical about going in but since we were already there, might as well go in & take a look.. My heart got abit consoled & felt abit at ease when i saw those small bats flying ard eating fruits.. But as i walk along the trail, i found myself staring at 2 really HUGE one, hanging on the branches... At that moment, i was completely freaked out.. I can feel the goosebumps starting to form & the hairs on my hands standing... I walked as fast as i can & as quiet on the same time cause I am scare of distracting them resting & they might jolly well come & chase after me!!!

Its only when i walked out of the enclosure & heave a sigh of relief knowing they din follow me out... haha... Come to think of it, it was really funny... haha...

last 2 photos of the night!!

Sun:

I went to my long awaited facial which i had been skipping for 3 years finally... After fetching dear to his soccer venue, I drove to Jurong with Mummy for breakfast, sent her to JP b4 going for my facial nearby also...

The session took about 2 hours.. Haiz, tot i wont be psycho into getting package one but in e end, i did.. Well think i should pamper myself & my face more esp working in my industry, it seems more easier for us to get break out due to the stress level we face, the late night we had & also our eating habits.. Haha.. On top of that, i think i havent been rewarding myself ever since i got my payout... Well, treat that as a reward ba.. Investmest on myself.. haha

I went to Ikea to meet dear.. He was going with his frenz to buy shoe @ Queensway, so i waited for him at Anchorpoint TCC, reading magazine & drking my fav latte.. Erm, nearly quarrelled because of some issues.. Well, i wont say quarrel ba, maybe its jus differing views.. ;p Am glad that it din turn out bad in the end...

Went to his place & out for dinner at the Prata place near Upper Thomson.. hehe.. Missing their banana prata..

Enjoyable weekend..

Its a really busy weekend full of programmes....

Fri night :

Team outing at East Coast. Its our first teambuilding soccer session. I had forgotten how long I havent been exercising.. Definitely more than a year.. For the soccer game, only the gals can score.. Winning team will be getting one day extra leave.. Well, for the leave sake, everyone is all out to win the game... Haha..

Warming for the game..

Our team lost the match but everyone got one day off.. Yeah... Din make my toe bruised for nth.. Yeah, i got injured during the game.. Duno kena zam by who.. But i think high chance my toe nail will come off...

It started raining heavily.. Luckily we are able to BBQ at the prawning place nearby.. The boss is really nice to have rent us their BBQ place.. Luckily the rain subsided quite soon and makes the weather really cooling for BBQ..

Starting the fire..

The whole session ended around 11plus.. Like any other BBQ, there are alot of food left.. Dear came to fetch me @ East Coast after the session & we went to meet his frenz b4 going back to his place...

Sat:

Woke up early the next morning cause gotta go attend a seminar @ DBS auditorium but found half of my face swollen.. Wow, it was really quite bad.. My eyes were really puffy, even with make up the difference b/w the 2 eyes are huge man..

I reached the place at 830 & keep using my hair to cover the swollen side of my face but it was really bad & together with my swollen toe from yesterday night game.. I felt really horrible.. My team leader saw my condition & asked me to go back home & rest..

I went back to benny's place, took some pills & went back to slp, hoping the swellness will subside when i woke up.. Ard 1 plus, Mau called me & said they will be going to Vivo to buy the food for the picnic.. I woke up & joined him & Ida.. By the time, my face got better slightly but i still have to cover my face.. Think yesterday night Crayfish might be the cause for this...

We did some shopping at Giant & Daiso.. Bought quite alot of food.. Seems more like a buffet than a picnic to me.. We reached Marina Barrage ard 330.. Judy, Seb & Helene were there already.. After gathering, we went up to the terrace.. The weather was really hot man... Found a place that is under the shelter near the lift & we decide to settle down there...

Looks more like buffet than picnic..

Tan, Art & Benny reached a while later.. Finally the weather got abit more cooler & the wind started blowing.. Perfect weather to fly kite.. Someone beside us pass us their kites b4 they left the place.. It was really nice of em lo.. Cause like that we no need to vie over the kite benny went all the way to East Coast to buy for me.. hehe..

Our kite flying session is a total failure.. Go look at Art's facebook and you will know why.. Think we are being played by the kite rather we go play kite lo..... haha.... But its really a nice experience la.. I think i havent go kite flying for more den 15 years...

After a while, it started raining.. We quickly cleared our stuffs and went to take shelter at the 2nd level.. Find one corner and decided to sit there and play cards.. haha.. Play until 7 b4 the few of us decide to go Tan's place there for massage.. Its a long week for us & most of our backs and shoulders are aching like mad.... It was a really nice session.. Think i will be going for more...

After that, it was already 10 plus.. Me & benny drove over to Geylang for Frog porridge.. Had been craving for it for quite some time but i was damn disappointed la... haiz.. The taste wasnt the same anymore.. haiz..

Sun :

Slp until 11 plus in the morning.. Need to wait for dear to finish his game b4 coming to fetch me n go gai gai....

He came in the noon & we drove to Sin Ming there for Bak Kut Teh b4 going to Adams Road there for desserts...

After dessert we decided to go over to AMK for movie.. We choose the lighthearted show, Poker King for the day.. Went to shop ard b4 catching the movie @ 625.. The show was a perfect choice for a relaxed weekend, its the kinda movie where u can laugh ur head off & let your mind rest...

After the show, we went to the Jap restaurant nearby for dinner.. We din order much since we are not really hungry...

Dear with the Mentai Baby Lobster..

This is really a perfect weekend.. Did alot of things & enjoyed myself alot.. :)
