29 September, 2009 - 家教

This afternoon during lunch, Jessie was telling us about a nasty colleague. He makes her pay for most of their lunches despite driving her car out for lunches. Mind you, HE drives her car on the pretext that his car is too big to get a parking lot. He makes fun of her by saying that she is fat and round so can roll out quickly for lunch. There were other complaints from her...which i cannot remember but amidst the conversation, "oh dear and some more he is a Christian" popped up. I wonder why the majority of people are so critical and quick to pick on Christians. The only consolation i got is, God is a perfect Father. And so is Jesus. Christians have some very high standards to follow, thus the criticisms.

Been thinking long and hard about this...should there be a direct link between inappropriate behaviours to one's religion? Surely this equation cannot be fair and just. Religion teaches one to be a good person..or a better person basically. But if one's behaviour, thoughts and speech are "contaminated", should we blame religion? NO la! I feel that if we have to blame anyone, we blame parents. Why? Because parents are the ones who should have inculcated values, morales or whatever makes an honest person into a child's mind. It's call 家教.

Last Friday, at the bowling center, a mother allowed her two kids to run around the lanes. I mean ran around the lanes as in obstructing the bowlers' games. Then this particular mother was wearing a thigh length skirt and she was very fat. (i have nothing against fat girls). She sat opposite a group of young guys with her legs spread open...yes, in her thigh length tight skirt. And i could see she was wearing red undies. This is very bad. If she thinks it is ok to sit with your legs "open big big" while wearing a tight skirt, bless her daughter. I hope when she grows up, some one will tell her it is not right for a girl to sit like that while wearing skirt. When i was a little girl, if i put my feet on the table, my mum will shoot me a dangerous glare and i will be caned when all the uncles and aunties have left. So now, as a young lady, i know it is unladylike to do that. That's 家教.

Dar and me saw a packet of drink in the lift. Someone littered. Someone who finished the drink and left the empty packet on the floor. So...the culprit could be a Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim. But it doesn't matter, because the fact is, he/she littered and it is regardless of religion. It is character and it is directly link to 家教..or rather, the lack of it.

家教 and EQ is what moulds a child into a perfect gentleman or a prim n proper lady..both should have impeccable manners and be a considerate person.

Dar says,"at the end of the day, we should be considerate and think of others in whatever we do. Be it driving, having your meals outside, taking public transport etc. We need to have basic consideration for others."

clap clap clap :) here is a man who will clear his tray after having his meals at fast food joints, who will wait for everyone to get out from the MRT trains and also let others enter before being the last to enter the train, who will bother to write to town council to inform them that we have a faulty light bulb in the car park (civic minded), who will drive or "cab&pay" his friends or colleagues home after an outing even if they don't stay near our place, who will offer to help the tourist who looked lost in the streets. The only thing that he cannot compromise is...cannot eat vegetables hahaha

Oh the wife has to die in the event of a fire because the man has to make sure everyone else is safe before saving the wife. If she is the wife, she will understand his intentions and if she dies, she will go in peace and understanding. Something that the wife cannot comprehend but has grown to understand and accept..because the man lives by the rule 我为人人,人人为我. The wife is not part of the 人人, she is part of the man hahahahaha

27 September, 2008 - Hayley's first month

Went to a buffet dinner for Hayley's first month celebration. Enough said :)

Made dar shop at Wisma with me. Everyone will be in Marina to catch the F1 race so Orchard should be less pack. We are right, there were not many shoppers heehee .

26 September, 2008 - Bowling & F1

Went bowling with Dar this evening. My score is slowly climbing up heehee from 93 to 95 to 103 or somthing yay but i have difficulty staying focussed. Everytime someone on either the left and right lane "bothers" me, my throw is lousy. Dar has to say "concentrate" a few times. I bought the chocolate ball again...to try to figure out the receipe hoho

I am hyperactive with a short attention span. Bad but i have no idea on how to make myself stay focussed. It's like when i choose to walk down a particular path, i will stop along the way to smell the roses and admire the scenary. Then who knows, i might discover something new or a new pathway. Side trackings... i am damn good at that. Good and bad..good because it means i am adventurous and open to new ideas and everything is possible. Bad because it means i get distracted easily and it's hard to get my attention for long. But it also means i won't remember slights and hurt for long because i will forget..damn. Forgive and forget or forget therefore forgive? I think i am more like forget therefore forgive plus abit of forgive and forget cos to be angry at someone or something saps too much energy and waste too much time heehee

Ok..writting crap again...it's supposed to be about bowling hahaha soon, i will have a game free of "drain hits".

F1 starts today..the "trial" run. This is the first time that Singapore is hosting the race :) and it's also the first night race. STEADY la, Singapore rocks (in today's teenagers' term...rocks seem to be a happening word)

24 September, 2008 - TANGS member

Many new dance steps to learn today :) like pretending to scoope water with our chest OMG. First we push the chest forward, then lift em' up and move em' in a circular motion. This is complicated because i slouch alot..but i am blessed in that department so it is supposed to be a piece of cake for me according to the instructress. But no...it's tough and i can feel the muscles aching in my abs. Anyway, it's making love to the music..dance should be sensual and flowy..and whatever..

We shopped at Vivocity - Tangs this evening. I found a blusher in a perfect shade, at least at this moment, to make my cheeks look as though they are glowing from the sun hahahaha also got an eyeliner and a nude lipstick :) everything's M.A.C...drama make up store. Cannot understand my need to look for the perfect nude lipstick. The guys will say, if it's going to be nude, just go without lipstick DUH. Anyway, there are many shades of nude lipsticks. And the blusher is actually a bronzer hahaha the kind that makes one look like one has too much sun...it's call the sunkissed look.

I am a new Tangs member today :) this card will get me 6% off for all items HURRAY.

Wonder if i am in love with shopping, in love with the thought of shopping or in love with the short term adrenalin rush that the new items provide.

23 September, 2008 - Vie Pub

Today is another crap work day. Full of shit and irritating issues. But because i wore my new bright blue Forever 21 top, i am in control of not letting my thoughts go wild. I was determined that i should leave work by 7pm today..going anywhere doesn't matter as long as i go somewhere. And i let my mind settled on some foot reflexology haha

Then better plans, Edwin jio-ed Sean, Amy and me for some drinks at Vie Pub. Great, having beer beats everything lo hahaha

Today's topic was hilarious. Laugh so much, smile too much :D

Shit - Why some people don't shit enough and why some people shit too much kekeke
Sex & reaction, Pre-ejaculation and orgasms - Duh

20 September, 2008 - Check Up

Dar went for his health screen/check up this morning and i went to the library with Karin. Borrow two books...one is about economics < the price of everything > and the other is a novel by Collin Cheong..my favourite Singaporean writer. I think he must be in his 40s now...

I could spend the whole day in the library or Borders and i would be a happy gal.

After the check up, we shopped around Causeway Point and i boughts toys for Benji and Jasmin. I actually bothered to spend time in Kiddy Palace to select toys blah..

Picked Marvin from Civic Plaza and went to laze in Yishun. Both of us are going to the Chinese physician for our persisting pain. I have water retention causing the pain in my feet?? I thought i drank so little water to not have water retention hmmm perhaps i should start drinking MORE.

19 September, 2008 - Steamboat & Desserts

We have an impromptu dinner appointment after work today. Sarah, Edwin, Sean and me are going to have dinner in Bugis. Steamboat..been a long time since i had steamboat.

After dinner, we had desserts at the Tong Shui shop across the road. Simple dinner, simple gathering, simple plan :)

Butter Factory, Karaoke, Gay pub and lesbian pub coming up hohoho

15 September, 2008 - German Beer

Today has been a shitty, busy day. Why are emails neverending here...beginning to find this a chore, not challenging and boring. Or am i just feeling restless again hmmm

Achieva people are here today, it really feels strange to see familiar faces here. The office is alot noisier and definitely more crowded.

Went to have dinner with Sean in Changi Village and some bare beer but gosh the hawker center is closed for cleaning works. Anyway, after "chop chop filling our stomach", we had beer at a little tavern in the open. It was windy tonight and the German beer was so darn good. Wieder..something..forgot how to spell it but it's really good.

Topic today is on women haha what type of qualities in a woman is attractive to men bla bla. A smart woman knows when to give in to her man, when to be firm, when to manja and when to be nurturing. Haiz...after all the beer and yakking Sean sent me home...i wish i was still staying in Bedok, i miss Bedok...

14 September, 2008 - Rum Balls

Dar and me took a bus to Pasir Ris and get some groceries at NTUC. Well, not exactly groceries...but rather, ingredients for my rum balls :)

Jervis was busy so i am on my own today. The makings of rum balls hahahaha i love rum balls.

Ok..in my excitement to make them, i forgot to take pictures of my hard work...damn

Anyway..it was successful cos Jervoise and Jervis both said it taste great keke. I love Malibu too :D

damn it..no pictures

13 September, 2008 - Benji's birthday celebration

12 September, 2008 - Anthea & TP bdae lunch

Busy friday :( and i am stuck in a con call and the whole lunch thingy almost went haywire..darn..why can't people just stick to the original plan..

To elebrate Anthea & TP's birthdays, we had lunch at New York New York in E!Hub. Great, because this is the original plan with blessings from the birthday gal and birthday guy. One of those rare moments where everyone gather together to have lunch :)
















After work, Sean and me went to get a foot massage :) and desert in a Tong Shui place in Chinatown.

My almond paste with tang yuan


Sean's beancurd soup with chin chow


Then it's to the lesbian pub hahaha Sean thinks he is in heaven.. I am fascinated with this lesbian thingy. It's kinda sexy to see two girls very close..physical or emotional. This pub was discovered by Sean because he could feel the ahem aura hahaha which i couldn't detect...i must be daft.

11 September, 2008 - Babies?

I had an interesting conversation with Aising this evening..about babies. Both of us share the same apathetic feeling towards having babies, which was great because then i can share my thoughts.

Some couples go through a long and tiring process just to conceive. I know of someone who is in his late thirties, whose wife wanted a child so bad, they went through a whole series of tests, tests, test and more tests. Some couples go through the motion of having sex at a stipulated time (ovulation time) for the sake of conceiving. Sex, i feel, should be enjoyable, fun, experimental and kinky. Sorry i am not being coy here hahaha When sex is being perceived as a ticket to becoming parents...that, in my own opinion, is arrrggghhh i am at a "loss for words"...

A friend once said i would never understand the pain and disappointment of yet another unsuccessful "sex to conceive" time. He said that's because i have no strong desire to be a mother. I think he is right...

Children are an extension of oneself...and i must be selfish. I do not like the idea of having my life revolve around kids. Or having that kind of commitment be it emotional, financial or life style. I love kids, and i believe kids adore me as well...but i am rather emotionally detached from having my own kids. The idea freaked me out many years ago and it still does now. I am so tired of fielding off "when are you having kids?" that i have switched to auto reply mode "in two years time"...yah next to never. I must admit that my resolution of never having kids has somewhat been shaken over the past two years. Because i saw Kaizer, Edgar and many more babies. The biological clock that has never existed in me has somehow appeared subtlely. But i am struggling with it. The thought of a pregnant body somehow strikes fear in me...有人对我说过,生过孩子的女人才完整..is it true? But i know it's true that being pregnant once in a life time lower the risk of cyst and fibroids. If that's the case, that must be why i am being "punished" with a bloody fibroid hahaha

Anyway, i salute all mothers out there...because bringing a child to this world takes more than just courage and commitment..it changes one's life forever.

And when the right time comes, i might be a mummy in my own right :)

10 September, 2008 - Scars!!!

I am sick :( sore throat and flu and i certainly felt lousy and weak.

Went lunch with Edward, Ling Chun, KC, Amy, Sarah and Jasmine today and shopped at NTUC for some snacks. Amy and me bought 2 packs of vitagen and 4 packs of yoghurt for our day time "cheers" session. Amy bought an offensive box of kiwi (reason of offence TBA). Today is Wednesday and NTUC does not provide us with free plastic bags cos it's Eco-friendly day. So...we stuff everything into the plastic bag and i carried that bag. The plastic box containing the kiwi has got sharp edges..and i accidentally scratched my left leg a few times and idiotically found it itchy instead of painful. By the time we got back to work, i saw blood on the plastic bag when i put the stuff on the table. DAMN! I have just made four deep scratches on my leg arrgghh i hope there won't be scars :(





Jfk and Sean thinks i am an idiot, at different times, because i actually confused pain with itch!! Anyway, i think flu has prevented my brain from any form of sane clarity tsk tsk

Andrew is in the office today and we went for dinner after work...we left the office at 7.45pm and had our dinner in Upper Serangoon..Teochew porridge, his treat keke and he sent me home. I am glad to see this friend again :)

9 September, 2008 - Men & Women

I was staring into my laptop, thinking what sites should i be surfing and whose blog to read when the word "gentlemen" popped into my mind. So being the typical curious cat, i asked my best friend, Mr. Google, on what exactly makes a perfect gentleman...and found out more than i bargained for :) (Rubes, i know i still owe you that "do men know?" thingy)

********************************************************************************
Etiquette Of A Gentleman
Chivalry may be on life support, but it is not dead yet. Be one of the few to keep this flame burning for many years to come.

Always open doors
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, restaurant, club, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after the other.

Put on her coat
Always help a lady put on her coat or overgarment. This is a simple but powerful action.

Help with her seat
If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you, it is important that you help her be seated by pulling her chair out for her and gently pushing it back into place, with the lady seated of course.

Give up your seat
If a lady arrives at the table and there are no available seats, you should stand up and offer yours to her.

Stand at attention
Always stand when a lady enters or exits the room. This rule has been somewhat relaxed, so you can stand upon entrance but remain seated upon exit. Nonetheless, if you can do both, you should.

Give her your arm
When escorting a lady (that you know) to and from social events, you should offer her your arm. This is a little more intimate, but serves well when walking on uneven ground -- especially if she's wearing high heels.

Ask if she needs anything
This is one that most guys already do, but helps complete the gentleman in all of us nevertheless. When at social events, make sure to ask the lady if you can get her something to drink (or eat, depending on the event). Show her that you care about her comfort and needs.

Gentlemen, if I may call you that, these are the rules of etiquette you should observe in everyday life. Elevate yourself above the rabble and display the mannerisms of a true gentleman. The world will appreciate such a rarity and your career will most definitely benefit from your good manners and savoir-faire .

**********************************************************************************
Habits women love
Men might think that women are complicated creatures who cry for no reason and make nonsensical complaints out of boredom. The truth of the matter is, however, that women aren’t that difficult to figure out at all. All they want is a little attention. So to avoid those nasty “You never do anything romantic” arguments, there are a few habits women love that you can adopt to get on her good side.

Adopt these habits women love and you’ll never hear her complain again.

Getting compliments
More than anything, a woman wants to be appreciated. Whether she’s a self-assured diva or a shy sweetheart, she wants to know that her assets and abilities are recognized. If you can make her feel special, rest assured that you’ve made a good start with her.

The only catch is, however, that your compliments must sound sincere. Telling her she looks fabulous in that outfit after she complains about looking fat counts for something, but it was coaxed out of you. Instead, make your compliment sound genuine by catching her off-guard with an impromptu “You’re beautiful” or “I love your cooking” and she’ll be putty in your hands.

Receiving phone calls
Maybe you call just to say hello or perhaps you keep her informed if your plans have changed, or if you’re going to be late. The point is you make an effort to bend an elbow and put a phone to your ear. Calling is important for the health of a relationship and is one of the many habits women love. We’re not talking about hour-long heart-to-hearts here; just short “hello” phone calls are all that’s necessary to appease your lady. Women tend to be communicative creatures, and they also like to be in the know. So, when you call and let her know what you're up to, it stops her from wondering -- and trust us, she’ll wonder -- about what you’re doing.

Being a priority
You have the choice on any given evening to spend a quiet night enjoying your lady and her -- ahem -- home cooking or to play poker with the guys. Tough call. Whether you realize it or not, women appreciate this conundrum. They know you ache to spend some bonding time with the guys, which is all the more reason why your girl appreciates it when you choose her instead. When you set aside all other plans just so you can see her lovely face, you make her feel special and important, and there’s no better way for a girl to feel.

The thing to remember about this habit is that in order to really put her first, you need to do it willingly. Although it may be killing you to miss out on some boy time, it’s key to the whole process that you give all your attention to her when you're together. Just enjoy yourself!

Getting attention
You know that old cliché that women like a good listener? Here’s a tip: Most clichés come from truth. Although sensitive, devoted, brooding men can be dreadfully boring, it really is great if you can listen to what she has to say and actually care about it. Great listening skills are essential in getting to know one another. Listen, ask questions and remember what she’s said. You’ll find out so much more about her that you’ll be hooked and only want to know more.

Paying attention doesn’t only apply to listening either. It’s all the better if you notice her haircut, that she looks upset or that she’s stressed out. Paying attention means that you care about what’s going on with her, and there’s no bigger compliment than that.

Being surprised
Any woman who’s been dating for some time probably thinks she has you figured out because most men tend to exhibit the same traits. So, when you surprise her with an unexpected gift or cool date, she’ll feel like she’s found somebody really special. She will probably feel refreshed and lucky to be around you. A women can also be surprised by many seemingly benign things, like a spontaneous phone call.

Surprising somebody can seem like a tough thing to do, but it’s really not that difficult. Many women don’t expect all that much from you, and can be all too forgiving of mediocrity. So, try going out of your way to do something special just for her.

The habits women love are those that are considerate of their feelings. If you can be the guy to make her feel respected, cared for and special, she’s bound to stick around.
*********************************************************************************
8 Male Behaviors She Secretly Loves
It’s hard to establish the exact characteristics that members of the opposite sex find attractive. While women fanatically ready themselves in anticipation for a date, men may drool over a sweaty gym bunny instead. Likewise, women aren’t always known for being the most straightforward when it comes to dishing on what they think is hot in a man. Most men have been nagged by girlfriends about some characteristic or another; but wouldn’t it be great to find out some of those behaviors are actually what keep your woman interested? Sometimes a woman can seem outwardly annoyed by a man’s behavior, but actually find it attractive. Confused?

Read on to find out if which of your “male” behaviors she secretly loves, and you may think twice about changing your ways.

1- Being a man’s man
Although it may seem like a woman wants a man who dresses up more than he acts up, sometimes a football-playing, nacho-eating, jersey-wearing guy can be more appealing than you‘d think. Now and again, she enjoys seeing you in your element getting to rescue her or fix stuff or goofing off with the guys.

A woman doesn’t date a man in order to have a competitor for prettiest hair or shoes; it’s likely that the differences between the two of you are what attracted her in the first place. It is true that when you go out to the ballet or to a nice dinner, she’d like you to dress well and act better, but what she doesn’t admit is that, for the most part, she appreciates your masculinity, no matter how unfinished it may be. You don’t always have to be dressing up or holding doors to have her hanging off your every word, just make sure your beer belches are kept well-timed and in the company of your buddies.

2- Saying no
Having a mind of your own is a good thing, even if it means making her angry now and again. Guys tend to think that women want a boyfriend they can lead around by the nose, and who will do whatever he’s told. While it would be a relief to know things would happen exactly how she planned them, being in a relationship like that could get really, well, boring. Women want a guy who has something to offer in terms of opinions and conversations. They also want a man with a personality. If a man’s entire life is his woman, he won’t have much else to talk about, and there will be few surprises left.

Also, women who enjoy being in power tend to enjoy being challenged once in a while (Read: A feisty argument can liven things up from time to time). So as much as she’ll have you believe that you should be under her control, don’t be fooled and don’t think that you need to be her pet boy to keep her hanging around. Keep your life and your habits, and just find ways to fit her in nicely.

3- Having a strong sexual appetite
While it’s true that anybody would feel used by a partner who only wants sex, it’s equally true that when a man can’t control his urges for a woman, she revels in every minute of it. It’s not often people get as much undivided attention as a man gives to a woman he wants to sleep with her. After a stressful day with coworkers, a woman can feel on top of the world with an attentive mate. If she’s in a high-powered or competitive job, she might even enjoy the switch of roles that comes with not having to make the first move in a sexual encounter. It allows her to sit back and enjoy herself.

4- Being independent
Women are notorious for nagging about their men being too busy or not paying them enough attention or spending too much time at work or with the guys. It is, of course, very important to treat a woman like a queen if you want her to stick around. However, you should recognize that if you have no other interests, hobbies or things to do, she will likely feel stifled in the relationship. Not only does your woman appreciate having space as much as you do, it is also sexy for a man to be independent and self-sufficient. A needy or unambitious mate is not attractive to most women. So, while you need to set aside time for your lady friend, making time for your career and hobbies can be just as important to a relationship.

5- Being jealous
Jealousy is a very powerful emotion. Although unchecked jealousy can easily get out of hand, a touch here or there can really fan the flames of attraction. If she thought you really didn’t care about the bartender who hit on her or her coworker who has a crush on her, she’d think you didn’t care about her at all, and she’d likely find somebody else who did. When you ask the intentions of her close-working coworker or probe into her relationship with her personal trainer, she may chide you for your overactive imagination, but it’s certain that she’s smiling on the inside. Remember: When it comes to jealousy, a little will go a long, long way, so use it very sparingly. Be aware of its power and allure: She can get really hot over a man who’s protective of her assets.

6- Showing occasional vulnerability
Everybody likes feeling needed sometimes, and since women aren’t often in the position where they can protect their boyfriends, it’s nice to see you need help in other ways. For instance, she may gripe that you need more socks or she’ll complain that you always forget to pick up your dry cleaning or that you always need help picking out your tie/shirt ensemble.

It may sound silly, but sometimes helping you out in these little ways can make a woman feel good and more attracted to you. It’s not that she wants to be your mommy, that’s likely the last thing on her mind. It’s just that if you need help and she can offer it, she’ll feel powerful, helpful and important. Men seem to think that they need to be an untouchable hero figure to be attractive to women, but that’s just not true. A little hint of helplessness makes you somewhat vulnerable, and most women can’t wait to sweep in and help.

7- Hiding your feelings
She may always complain that she doesn’t know what you’re thinking; she may ask to talk about your relationship or your day at work. It seems like she is always asking for you to pour your heart out so that she can know your innermost feelings. You know that women talk to their girlfriends about all their ups and downs, and especially about their worries. Likewise, it would probably be easier for her to know the score if you told her exactly how you were feeling.

Sometimes, however, the fact that you’re a little bit mysterious or elusive can be a major turn-on. Half the fun is figuring out how to crack the case. Women enjoy the challenge of figuring out what you’re thinking without having to be told. So keep it a mystery; share the important stuff, and don’t feel pressured to give it all up when she asks you to. She might not hate it as much as you think.

8- Occasionally objectifying her
Women want to be respected for their brains and abilities, just like men do. They also want a handshake for a job well done, and they want a promotion when it’s due. But if a woman’s looking smoking-hot, she wants some attention for it. Of course, this depends heavily on circumstance and the relationship with those attention-givers.

But when it comes to a man she digs, that woman will not mind having her assets checked out. Women enjoy a compliment, just like men do. When it comes to looks, there are few better compliments than a man whose gaze wanders south of a woman’s face or strays to watch her walk away. Even a crude compliment will go miles from a trusted source. So don’t think you have to be squeaky-clean or even upstanding to get her attention. If you notice her, she’ll be flattered, and flattery will get you everywhere.

7 September, 2008 - Eyebrows Embroidery

Jervoise picked me up after church service today :) cos i don't want my mooncakes to melt. Jervis gobbled up the mooncakes...especially the champagne filled ones hmmmmm

Took the train to Bishan to meet Sarah for our eyebrows embroidery appointment yay

It hurts. Period.

We have to bear the pain of plucking our eyebrows to get the correct shape, followed by needles filled with ink poking at our brows. Both of us permed our lashed..cos it was irresistable to get lovely curled lashes. I did an additional thing...i "burnt" the 油泡 near my eyes..all three of them and it hurts BIG TIME. But i kept my mind very focused that if i bear with the pain, i will have a 油泡-less face :)

Our next appointment would be in March next year..the beautician is so hot we gotta wait like half a year to fix our brows.

Damaged done - 150 bucks for the brows, thirty five bucks for the lashes and twenty bucks to get rid of the 油泡.

The things women do in the name of beauty hahaha

6 September, 2008 - Pedi/Mani Package

I think i spent too much this month..exceeded the "ok to spend" budget set aside for shopping..oh dear....can't shop much for next month.

10am to 12pm - Intensive Facial (a hundred bucks)
4.30pm to 7.30pm - Manicure & Pedicure (four hundred and eight bucks for seven sessions)

:) :) :)

This meant i spent a bomb this weekend arrrgghhh OMG, this is the first time i succumbed to signing up a package with a mani/pedi shop. The standard better remain as good sial.. First of all, i must say that the deco of this shop is extremely stylish. Mosaic floor tiles, modern orange and red theme. The service was superb, the staff were all so courteous. And from observing how the 老板 dresses and how he interacts with his customers and staff, one can see he sets very high standards on both his staff and himself. Probably an OCD in his own way hahaha

My manicurist working hard on my nails


Jfk has buang monster again. Monster's head light has dropped off......poor baby :(

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey

5 September, 2008 - Bowling

We had dinner at LJS this evening before Jfk sent me home to change and pick up his bowling ball. Edwin picked us at 9pm and we drove over to the wake of Ling Chun's mum at Punggol..Nicholas and I-Jiun arrived not long after us.

Side track abit...Ling Chun has got cute ex-commandos friends but it is an inappropriate time to check out guys though..

Went to meet Rubes and Yan for three rounds of bowling at East Coast. Lucky i have yet to do my manicure, else damn sim tia about my nails sial.. I use ball number 12 and i think because the ball is heavy, my thumb nails chipped off :(

After three rounds, it was almost 2am plus...and we headed to Carls Junior for drinks and some finger food.

I was sleepy and tired...

4 September, 2008 - Mingle Nite

My mooncakes from Raffles hotel are here today, perfect :) The tin boxes are so classy and even the carriers are of eco friendly material. 真的是一分钱一分获。

Today, i went to the dinner cum drinks session organised by David to inofficially mingle with our new colleagues from Achieva. Took Edwin's car and pick up Amanda from her workplace at Hitachi Towers before heading down to Ann Siang.

It feels kinda strange to see this crowd..it almost feels like seeing the past and present in a small pub. Weird feeling of nostalgia swept through...good to see Beng Hua and gang though..Beng Hua = drinks and karaoke and more drinks. SA with his cute belly, Frederick with his fabulous singing. The best part was spending a decent amount of time chatting with Andrew and Gui :)

Kinda nice to see old pals again..anyway we would be seeing each other pretty soon. We left after a while and Kannan sent me home :)

3 September, 2008 - Forever 21

This is one of those mundane days...a day that i indulge in some shallow and ditzy writings.

I have a big bruise on my left arm..and my left feet is kinda swollen. And i realised that Amy has a bruise on her right arm and her right feet is kinda swollen too muahahahahaha our relationship is sealed with a kiss, a bruise and a swell :D Both of us ended up applying cream on the offending areas of our bodies.

Today is the last lesson of our bellydancing basic steps. Next week we will be attending the intermediate class yay Our instructress performed a dance for us today..COOL STUFF, she can move all three muscles in the tummy and move like a graceful carmel. Strange words to be put together...it's a graceful and sensual movement and it's known as the carmel walk :) hahaha

The choice of our retail therapy today is Vivo City. Great, this is a shopping center that houses most of the UK brands. Anyway, we are going to focus on Forever 21. Both of us screened through rows after rows of clothes and accessories. And i managed to get a top to match my new high-waisted skirt, a purple belt and a chunky gold charm bracelet :) Aising got a new top, a necklace and a pair of feathery earrings that we both fell in love with :) we have the same taste heehee I tried on a purple halter neck dress but it's a pity i couldn't buy it...cos i am not going to walk around looking tarty. I wish i had smaller arms and smaller boobs..actually smaller everything whenever i want to buy those itsy bitsy cutey dress arrrggghhh and i imagine liposuction on myself for five seconds of "feel good" mental excercise hahaha

What should i wear in Friday to match my bracelet hmmm

31 August, 2008 - Health

The blood vessal in Dad's left eye burst and his eye was bloodied internally. Gosh how dreadful, we had to bring him to the A & E in Changi hospital. We got there at 6.30pm and left the hospital at almost 11pm. I even get to catch Super Returns on HBO! Gosh...i don't like hospitals. There is always a strong medical smell lingering on the air and sounds of coughs, sneeze, and tired looks all around. Quite frightening to think that if one is injured, sick or unconscious, one has to be admitted to the hospital.

Health is so important, yet, it is the one thing that all of us take for granted. Without a healthy body, we would not be able to think about spiritual or emotional health.

I imagine it must be every girl's dream to have a guy like Superman hahaha strong, invincible, devoted and totally in love with the woman he set his heart and mind on.

Later in the night, we watched 少年杨家将 and my eyes got teary. 杨七郎 and 杨业 died in this episode. 杨大郎,杨二郎 and 杨三郎 died in the previous episode. 杨四郎 went missing and 杨五郎 is depressed. But the worst is the scene where the mother had to clean the bodies of her sons before buriel. OMG and suffer in pain that the body of her husband has been captured by the enemy. Damn, as i was watching it, i wish i could kill that shithead 潘仁美. I imagined that he ought to be tied up and all his joints are severed and he is being blinded. Then he would die a slow and painful death for causing the deaths of the whole of the 杨 army. Jfk added that his flesh should be cut opened and be sprinkled with salt. My my aren't the both of us cruel tsk tsk
