New Blog

2010-07-15T18:05:00.007+08:00

Just realised my last entry was months ago, how time flies. Anyway I'm starting a new blog. No particular reason, just feel like 'upgrading' =)

7 Years Annix~!! =)

2010-06-08T18:05:00.000+08:00

Happy 7 Years to hubby!!
Yea I know '7 years' sounds like the big milestone that every couple has to clear. Whatever.

I cannot really remember what we did, only remembered the Prince of Persia movie and dinner at Yuki Yaki. Simplicity has it's beauty. If we really want to celebrate, everyday is also an anniversary. ^_^

6 Years 11 Months. =)

2010-05-08T18:05:00.000+08:00

Happy 83rd Monthsary~
I'm actually blogging this months later, gosh.

Rotting Blog

2010-04-24T15:53:00.003+08:00

I got a little less interested in blogging nowadays. I don't snap as much pictures now as compared to my uni days - I took pictures everyday! All my photos are kept in an external 1 tetrabyte drive, and looking through, I saw tons of photographs between 2005-2008. After I graduated and started working, I still took some photos here and there, enough to create a few folders for year 2009.

This year? Lol, it's already nearing May and I can't even fill up one single folder yet. My weekdays are spent in office, morning till late evenings. My weekends are usually packed with viewings (today is a rare day where I'm less busy). I look forward to every wednesday only, where it's our off day and we can relax. (But of course not without answering phone calls like usual)

I have been comtemplating to start a new blog, not under blogspot. But to create a new domain name. I want to get a good camera though. My camera is already half dead, and I don't trust handphones when it comes to taking good photographs.

Okay I've rambled enough. Shall continue doing some back-end work, then prepare to go out. Still have to arrange viewings for tomorrow, oh well.

6 Years 10 Months. =)

2010-04-08T23:54:00.000+08:00

Happy 82nd Monthsary to my dearest boy~
oh yes, I'm actually blogging this on 10th, not 8th, lol!

I'm too busy arranging viewings, and the extremely hot weather these days is making me sick. So I got really grumpy, I wanted to scold every single person I see. I grumbled about this to my hubby, and he said that he is already being scolded by me. He knew I was moody, haha, poor boy. Anyway he brought me to watch Date Night, and I recovered, along with some gummies =)

Titans Anyone?

2010-04-05T23:53:00.000+08:00

Watched Clash of the Titans a few days ago, in 3D. The storyline isn't fantastic, the 3D made it even worse cause it darkened the screen and my eyes couldn't take it. But the graphics were awesome.

I went online to read the actual Greek mythology and it seems like the storyline was far too different. I am now waiting for Iron Man 2 to show. Love the first movie, hope the 2nd movie will be as great too.

Had a mini conversation with hubby after the movie left me pondering...
Me: The child of God is called a demi-god.
Dan: Yea.
Me: Then what do you call the child of the demi-god?
Dan: ...... oh-my-god.
Me: -.-"

iPatch?

2010-03-26T09:39:00.003+08:00

Met up with Donna for lunch yesterday. =)

Me: I want to buy eye patch.
Don: WHAT? NOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo!!
Me: O_O what??
Don: Don't buy iphoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Me: WTH. I said eye patch! Not iphone!
Don: Oh, sorry... Salah.

Her odd reactions and tendency to hear the wrong stuffs seriously amuses me. And it was really sweet of her to drive me to meet my client in the CBD area. Though at one point she was supposed to step the brakes, but she stepped the accelerator instead. Lol.

SMILE!

2010-03-14T01:05:00.002+08:00

Saw this at our client's house today...

I call it the happy soap, cause of the smiley face! Was really tired the whole day, it's exhausting since our job is 7 days week and lots of phone calls. Weekends are the worst. But when I entered the toilet and spotted this smiling soap, I felt happier. Lol~ Our hard work won't be gone to waste! Gambatte!

PS: Hubby can't see the "smiley face" on the soap when I showed him the picture. Maybe my imagination is too good. =)

About Wedding

2010-03-11T21:33:00.006+08:00

Back to this topic again, after we solemnized our marriage back in December 2008. Now everybody is asking me "When are you going to hold your banquet?".

A few months ago, there was this period of time when I totally forgot about having to hold a banquet. It was the very last thing on my mind, cause there were so many other issues to deal with. So now, my mother-in-law is getting a little anxious about our banquet too. I can't possibly address my parents-in-law as "Uncle" and "Auntie" for too long, it's weird. I have to go through the Chinese customary!

Maybe I'm already feeling too married, that's why I'm getting lazy. I used to dream of grand wedding banquets, big hotel ballrooms, huge sparkling chandeliers and all. But now I'm actually desiring more for a cosy lovely small banquet, with just the people who really matters in our lives. (That's not a very small number actually.)

No matter what, the banquet most probably won't be held this year. I want to concentrate on getting a house and a car. I was hoping so badly to get the Dawson HDB. And thanks to people who apply just for fun, people like us who really wants the flat sadly fails to get it. Urgh.

6 Years 9 Months. =)

2010-03-08T18:45:00.000+08:00

Happy 81st Monthsary Hubby~
I feel like your personal secretary nowadays. Lol~

Yes this is overdue, I am actually posting this on 11th March, Thursday. No choice, really busy working these days, and Twitter looks like a better alternative for busy people. I can't possibly blog when my bosses are right beside me. ^_^

28.02.2010

2010-02-28T23:44:00.002+08:00

My flu and cough have been quite persistent for the past few weeks, couple of times I thought I have recovered, but it just keeps coming back to find me. Anyway my in-laws have arrived in Sg today, had a pretty nice dinner at No Signboard. =)

My father-in-law, as usual, was the first to notice that I wasn't feeling well. Each time I see him, each time he will nag at me to eat healthily and have sufficient sleep. Lol.

On a sidenote, I was feeling really lost ever since this year began. Suddenly, I felt like I couldn't find what I was aiming for, felt like a useless person and got depressed. Hubby knew it, so he arranged new things for me to do. (I'm still in the same line) I'm definitely feeling happier now, new directions. =)

River HongBao 2010

2010-02-21T00:55:00.003+08:00

We're back from Batam!

Got back on Friday night, spent a busy Saturday accompanying lil sis-in-law to NTU for her entrance exams, then sending her back to the ferry terminal at night to catch the last ferry home.

Headed to River HongBao for awhile.

Our first time visiting the River HongBao. Yea mountain tortoises I know.

The malt candy dragon. Guess it was really hot cause the dragon was like melting away right before our eyes. Looks yummy though.

I love this! Dragon and Phoenix, put together using porcelain cutleries. So cool.

Close up of the cutleries.

We were squeezing with tons of people. The God of Fortune was spraying out some tiny gold colored papers, and everybody were struggling to grab them. Best still, I saw some aunties opening their plastic bags toward the sky, hoping to catch more of the papers. (No I didn't try to catch the papers of course.)

Hubby laughed when he spotted this shop. Smart choice, to have this at the River HongBao event. Bet it's business is the best.

Photos all taken with my handphone, yes blur.

6 Years 8 Months. =)

2010-02-08T23:51:00.002+08:00

Happy 80th Monthsary hubby~

80 sounds nice, like those 八十大寿. Lol.

Bought the horoscope books for both of us, this year their cover design is really funky. I bought them last year too. We like feng shui stuffs, it's very interesting. Well, it won't hurt to be a little "pantan" anyway. And since we're in the sales line, it's better to believe than not. =)

M'sia Trip

2010-02-07T22:04:00.003+08:00

Our friend, Chung Wei, met an accident while he was racing in Malaysia. So today 5 of us made a trip to Pasir Gudang in Malaysia to visit him. We met at the Queen St bus terminal at 9+am, sat 3 long bus rides before we managed to reach his house, and it was already almost 2pm. Gosh.

He's fine, recovering his broken collarbone with a metal plate and screws inside his body. Anyway the weather there is really hot even though it's windy. After visiting and having lunch with him, we boarded a bus back to City Square. And guess what, the bus broke down. This is the first time I experienced a bus breaking down, but the timing came almost right, cause the motion sickness was driving me mad.

Some of our bus tickets.

Oh and I finally managed to try Old Town White Coffee at City Square. I pretty much quite like it. =)

Festive Mood

2010-01-29T13:13:00.004+08:00

My mum spoiling the pampered boy with CNY treats.

Even my Joey is in the mood for Chinese New Year. He gave up his favorite pig liver for the sake of the pineapple tarts! Naughty fella...so much for me specially buying those pig liver for him.

Little Chats

2010-01-23T21:18:00.004+08:00

I enjoy chilling at cafeterias with the hubby. We can both sit there for hours, doing our own stuffs. I read my novel or crack my brain over sudoku, while he reads his newspapers. Once in a while, when something pops up in his mind, or if he comes across something interesting, he will share it with me enthusiastically. And we will just sit there, chatting, giggling over little things.

I like it this way. It's like momentarily, I don't have to bother about how the world around me is going on.

X'mas Gifts Exchange!

2010-01-17T14:00:00.000+08:00

This is an outdated post for X'mas 2009. Lol~ See...I have tons of things to blog, but I tend to forget everything the very next day. Just like how I forgot to blog the 4th and final post of our ROM, and my 23rd birthday, our batam trip etc. Poor Von is always waiting for me to upload the photos. Lol. Apologies.

X'mas eve we had the longest DOTA session ever, from 10pm till 11am the next day. (Oh we had a 2-hour supper break in between) I almost fainted when I reached home, knocked out the minute I touched the bed. And woke up 3 hours later cause I had errands to do on X'mas day.

X'mas day we had dinner at Hotel Miramar's Ikoi (Japanese restaurant) with hubby's family. Food wasn't that fantastic, I still prefer Kuishin Bo. And night time we met up with our usual gang for X'mas gift exchange!

Before that, we dropped by Toy'R'Us and bought these two toys for the exchange. Daniel chose the Nerf gun, while yea...I chose that hilarious-looking remote controlled taxi. Daniel described my taxi as ONLY available in Sg and it's everywhere. So true.

I bet whoever gets my gift will burst out in total cold sweat.

And so we exchanged our gifts at Liang Court's mac, randomly picking a no. corresponding to each present...

Jian Ming got the umbrella, the 1st present bought by Von and Zm.

Bin Chuan got the erotic soundtrack, the 2nd present bought by Von and Zm. Oh and I told him to imitate the girl's expression on the Cd cover, he failed.

The 'inside' of the soundtrack...a Cd and 4 chocolate-flavored condoms. LOL. As you can see, the theme for their presents was 'Protection', and I guessed the umbrella correctly. The erotic soundtrack is really creative though. =)

Von received a night mask, the 1st present bought by Cw and Rach.

I received the eyeliner! 2nd present bought by Cw and Rach. Safe choice ya? I'm the best candidate too, since I use the most eyeliner, I think. Lol.

Cw got my taxi!! Everyone burst out laughing when they saw the taxi. And he went 'WTF' endlessly. Hahahahah~

Zm received our 2nd present, the NERF gun. Anyway his expressions went -_-" when he opened the gift. Lol.

Finally, Rach received Royce chocolates bought by Fc. It's like one of the best gifts available.

Oh, and Zm misfired his NERF gun accidentally. The bullet flew across half of mac. Everyone, including people sitting all around us, got quite a bad shock. Lol!

And lastly, this particular X'mas there were some miscommunication and some things happened. I'm glad everything has been resolved. I hope X'mas for 2010 will be a good one, and everyone in our gang will be able to attend. =)

Unexpected Visitor

2010-01-15T23:13:00.002+08:00

Today, we had a little visitor who flapped its way into our house. Not by the windows, but through our main door.

I was putting on my makeup when I heard the sound of wings flapping.

Turned around, and saw this lil bald fellow standing at our door.

Then he walked to our shoe area, he looked pretty stunned throughout though.

At one point, I think I saw the bird sneezing when the wind blew. Lol.

Then he sat himself cozily on my hubby's slippers. Yea, my hubby realised the bird was sitting on his slipper and he came to complain to me. Sorry for my unglam thrown-around shoes.

And so, lil bald-head stayed at our door for a couple of hours...before suavely walking out our main door. Yes, he walked out. Weird bird. He left me a lot of gifts too, I had a hard time cleaning them up. Thanks bird.

6 Years 7 Months. =)

2010-01-08T13:52:00.003+08:00

Happy 79th Monthsary to my Dearest~
Food tastes so much better with you around, lol!

We went to view the showflats at HDB Hub a couple of days ago.
With nice interior design, even HDB flats can look awesome.
Now every house has bomb shelter in it, a lil bit off but it can be a good storage room.
Anyway we stayed there pretty long, cause hubby spent a lot of time scrutinizing the various flat types and visualizing his ideal interior designs.

Me : I want a walk-in wardrobe (thinking of the heineken ad)
Dan : Sure. Use the bomb shelter.
Me : faint.

Hubby sleeping while grabbing the arse of my dumbo. Can't help it, our bed is flooded with my toys. =)

New Addition to the Dummily =)

2010-01-07T01:50:00.009+08:00

Say Hi to my newest Dumbo, given by Von ^_^

He's a dumbo in a lying position...like Tare Panda. But this is Tare Dumbo.

His side view. His pointy nose and pointy tail gives this aerodynamic feeling. Lol.

My dumbo family! It's either they have clothes, or naked but with the Letter D on their left ears. So cute. My largest dumbo is getting wrinkled from my constant hugging every night. Sigh. Oh and if you look carefully, my 2nd smallest dumbo's nose is crooked!

Lazy.

2010-01-05T01:27:00.004+08:00

Happy 2010 everyone! (lil late i know)

I am wayyyy too lazy to blog nowadays.

Have like tons of photos waiting for me to upload.

Maybe...maybe one of these days I'll just blog all at once...

Once I overcome the lazy monster in me. =)

Back!

2009-12-22T12:48:00.002+08:00

Just got back from Batam!

Had a nice time there with my in-laws.

Each time I go there, I basically eat, sleep, shop. Shiok.

Will blog more about this Batam trip later.

We're addicted to Sudoku now!

1st Year Anniversary =)

2009-12-18T12:41:00.000+08:00

One full year since we solemnized our marriage.

It has been a really wonderful year.

Looking forward to our special dinner, just the 2 of us. =)

Happy 1st Year Anniversary Hubby Dearest.

My Maltese

2009-12-10T23:22:00.000+08:00

With my beloved baby Joey. (He's already turning 7 years old, but I still call him Baby, Darling etc...) He only allows me to carry him in such manner. Anyway I didn't visit him for 2 weeks, so yesterday when I made a short trip home, this baby made so much noise seeking for my attention. Too cute.

Daily Bits - 9th Nov 09

Bentley

I spotted a Bentley on the road today. Creamy-golden in color, looks pretty good, but I didn't know what car was that.

Me : What car is this? Looks good.

Dan : It's a Bentley.

Me : Merc? (thinking of Mercedes Benz)

Dan : Bentley.

Me : Mercedes? (still thinking it's Benz)

Dan : no..."ENGINE...START..."

Me : Ohhhh! THAT CAR!

If you watched the movie 2012, you will catch what we're saying. Lol. This boy, he always have unique ways of making me understand things.

A Pic of Us

It has been some time since we took pictures together! I used to snap like tons of our photos during our Uni days. Ever since we started working, taking pics became one of my last priorities. Anyway, look at how well my hubby has been feeding me. We're both sick though. Flu bug.

Tanglin Mall

Went Tanglin Mall to do some errands today, and they were having foam party there! There were so many families, oh my god. But I saw so many babies, I can drool non-stop just by looking at them. So adorable! But no, we have already discussed, now is not the time for babies yet. Probably another couple more years, we're only half-married!

6 Years 6 Months! =)

2009-12-08T23:33:00.003+08:00

Happy 78th Monthsary to hubby~

our wedding anniversary is coming! O_O

I cooked dinner too, partly because it's our monthsary and also because Von, Zm and Fc came over for dinner.

Japanese curry rice! I love Vermont curry, so delicious. I wanted to prepare chicken cutlet initially, but wasn't feeling very well to make a trip to the supermarket. So I made do with what was in the refrigerator, mainly potatoes, ham and button mushrooms.

And ermm...this unique dish. Apparently it's supposed to be Mapo Tofu. But I only had long beans, straw mushrooms and egg tofu. So I mixed everything together, and hey...it tastes pretty good! (Looks-wise is horrible though) =)

I admit I'm a total nut when it comes to cooking. I have a problem with remembering recipes. It's so bad that I cannot even remember if I have to add salt when I boil potatoes. Von and I are thinking of going for culinary classes. We need cooking skills badly. x_x

Oh Hi

2009-12-05T12:29:00.002+08:00

In case you are wondering where am I...I have been busy (and lazy to blog of course). And now I am sick, my flu isn't getting any better. Other than that...

- I want to play DOTA and L4D2.

- My hubby isn't feeling well too. Poor thing.

- 3rd website is done, yay!

- Need to go Indonesia soon again.

- X'mas is coming! ^_^

Ok need to rest. Till then.

The Day Xin Met Joey.

2009-11-20T04:27:00.005+08:00

I don't want to spend time thinking of a proper title for this post, so explains the no-brainer title. Yesterday after having lunch and settling some documents at the office, we brought Xin over to my house, to visit Joey. Poor Joey gets so frightened whenever he meets a stranger, but Xin was determined to befriend him.

Ended up, Joey allowed Xin to massage him!

Even though he looks damn relaxed, he's actually still quite frightened.

To the point where he climbed over my hubby and sat right on him, just to feel safe. That's my cute fat doggy, who thinks he's not heavy.

At night, the 3 of us went for K-Golden session at Kbox. Sang from 8pm till 3am, very tired now. Will blog about kbox in the next post. Night!

Our Weekend ( & Baby Morph )

2009-11-16T22:41:00.003+08:00

Cheryl and Kay came over during the weekend for our wii game session, after they helped to update our wii and changed it to English at a shop in tampines. It's good that wii has so many new games, but usually most of them are crap. Only minority is worth buying. Anyway I tried Dead Space Extraction, nice and scary game, but it's awfully nauseating. It's worse than watching tv in a car.

Anyway they stayed over at our house too. We all had mac for dinner, hoping to get some good cards, but didn't. In the end, Cheryl turned green and her tummy inflated from eating the mac. Poor thing. Lol.

Oh by the way, couple of weeks ago Von played some baby morphing images thingy. I tried too, but I forgot to upload. Here's the very first pic I got by morphing mine and hubby's images.

Hubby's first reaction was, "WHY CURLY HAIR!?!?"

It was hilarious, I didn't know why either since both our images had straight hair. And it's not like the program can detect my Indian genes. Hahahah~ Anyway the curly hair reminds me of Doumyoji (Dao Ming Si). Never mind, still adorable.

Our client's wife is giving birth soon, so we went hunting for baby products these few days. Everything is so damn cute, and so many have elephants on them! (I love it!) I was practically drooling at all the cutesy baby stuffs. Awwwwww~

Daily Bits - 11th Nov 09

2009-11-11T23:48:00.003+08:00

Decided to add a new category to my blog posts : Daily Bits. These are small talks or actions that happens anytime anywhere, but not significant enough to take up an entire blog post. They can be forgotten easily too, but they're interesting, so I hope to note them down, and in future I can read them.

Lost & Found Cuttlefish
Two days ago my hubby hid away my bag of cuttlefish when he caught me eating it on a morning with an empty stomach. I didn't look for it, as it will be damn time consuming, considering the fact that he will hide it at places where I cannot reach. But today his mum was clearing the house and she found it. I immediately LOL at him when the bag of cuttlefish was given back to me...effortlessly. (anyway after that I snacked on it while lying on the bed, I dozed off and the bed got messed up with cuttlefish...got a scolding from him. Ouch.)

Hello?
Today I rushed to view my clients at Selegie Road alone, when Daniel couldn't finish settling his documents in office. Halfway through the viewing, my phone rang, unknown number.
Me : Hello?
Caller : Hello, I want to view the office at Selegie Road.
Me : (pauses for a moment cause voice sounds like Daniel) err...Sorry, you are?
Caller : Wa! You cannot recognise your own husband's voice!?!?
Me : shit, I knew it. (got tricked again)

Consent Forms
Some time ago...
Dan : from now on, if you want to buy something, you need to fill my consent form.
Me : Consent form?
Dan : Yes, write the item you want to buy, write a short paragraph of why you must buy it.
Dan : Need at least 3 working days to proceed, and subject to approval.
Me : =(

Yesterday...
Dan : I stomachache, must faster go home to use the toilet.
Me : Ok, but must fill in my consent form first.
Me: Write a short paragraph of why I must let you use the toilet.
Me: Need at least 3 working days to proceed, and subject to approval. Hohoho~
Dan : !!!

6 years 5 Months. =)

2009-11-08T20:34:00.003+08:00

Happy 77th Monthsary to my hubby~

my pampered dearest.

Work is really getting stressful, thankfully I am able to relax a lil on weekends. And achievement doesn't come easily, so I must work even harder! For better future~

My hubby is really understanding too. Which makes my life a lot sweeter, thanks. =)

I <3 Taimei

2009-11-06T22:41:00.002+08:00

Fun recommended this Taiwanese shop at Bugis Street, selling all the famous Taiwan bites. So the 3 of us went to give it a try...

The shop's unique name, even all the meal sets are named after famous hot Taiwanese celebrities like Jolin Tsai, Lin Chiling etc.

Fun ordered the 'Lin Chiling' set, which consisted of wintermelon drink, fried tofu and mee sua. My hubby ordered the 'Jolin Tsai' set, which consisted of chicken cutlet and milk tea. The milk tea was really full of milk, and we guessed they named it 'Jolin Tsai' because of this reason too. Lol. The chicken cutlet is really thick, very worth it. The food is pretty good, worth a try.

The shop is located at the back of bugis street, beside the durian stall. Do visit if you're free. And...Von, I think you'll like this shop. =)

McDonald's Monopoly

2009-10-27T02:00:00.011+08:00

Does anyone not know about this? Lol.

It's fun, to collect the cards and stick them on the gameboard. When you enter mac, you see almost everyone analyzing their cards, when you visit online forums, many people are discussing about what cards they have either. Some of them even tried calculating the chances of getting those 'rare' cards by using Probability. So funny.

I got caught on the craze as well, not that I enjoy eating mac that much. But the process of opening the cards is really interesting. I guess so far the best card we got is the Star Cruise (3rd and 4th pax free). Have not planned how and when to use it yet. =)

Was checking the forums. Apparently U.S. is playing this monopoly as well, but they have a daily win of USD$1 million, my goodness. It's USD$1 million! And it's daily! Why are we all struggling to get that pathetic one and only $50k? One forum member even commented that the chance of betting North Korea to win in the World Cup is even higher than getting the 'Sentosa Cove' card for the $50k. I'm not sure if that's really true, but it sure is funny. Hahaha~

Astons Anyone?

2009-10-23T22:29:00.003+08:00

Opening soon! (I really like their steaks.) It's like just beside our house, 2 minutes' walk. And there's like Subway, Starbucks, Pizzahut and so many eateries. I'm spoilt for choices. =)

Orchard Central with Gil

2009-10-19T23:40:00.001+08:00

Long overdue. Am really busy, handling many things. Exceptionally busy this week, I've totally neglected my farm in facebook. Lol.

Met up with Gil last week, for some shopping and food. We went orchard central, cause I haven't really walked the entire shopping centre yet. Nothing much there, only the food interests me.

Walked past the Tokyo Fruit Tarts shop, decided to have a try. I find it very costly, around $8.30 per slice, or $80 for the whole tart. Serious. But the taste is pretty good, and all their tarts look very lovely.

Dinner I decided on the Korean restaurant on the 8th floor, Nolboo Hangari Galbi (if I'm not wrong). Well Gil recommended the food to me several times, and I was craving for kimchi, so I insisted on having this. Poor Gil, each time she went to Orchard Central, the person she was accompanying will request to eat at this Korean restaurant. (She told me to mention this in my blog) =)

The recommended Tang Hoon. I really like it, it's delicious. Better if they remove all the carrots.

Side dishes, if you order their BBQ meat. Seriously, you can get full just by eating these.

Our BBQ meat. It's yummy. We chose the one with the special marination.

With specky Gil. We had trouble finishing the food, though we only ordered the meat and the tang hoon. So don't order too much if you want to give it a try. =)

Time to work again.

6 years 4 months ~ =)

2009-10-08T23:29:00.001+08:00

Happy 76th monthsary to my big bird~
i love the kfc dinner, yummy

We have been busy the whole day, handling clients, going office to submit documents, doing website, attending course etc. Right now we're watching Red Cliff on mio tv (our common leisure), while sipping our honey drinks. Lol. And oh, my hubby tried to imitate Tony Leung playing Gu Zhen in the movie, using my leg as his Gu Zhen. Boy...he sure does the weirdest things.

Multitasker

2009-10-07T21:02:00.000+08:00

Lately, I'm multitasking. Working on constructing our 2nd website, reading my manga, and watching my Mio tv. There's this channel on Mio tv that shows endless chinese movies, I love it. Ok back to my work, I have to complete the website soon!

I seriously need a bigger bed tray. It's too tiny for my two lappies. I need an extra space for drink or snacks too. Lol.

New Baby

2009-10-05T20:44:00.000+08:00

We've finally collected our new lappie! It's a free lappie we got for recontracting our broadband with Singtel, pretty good timing since our contract will expire in 1 month's time. I've always wanted a tiny laptop too, since I find the usual laptops too heavy for me.

There! (tiny dumbo is displayed for size comparison purposes only, not because i'm overly obsessed with elephants) Anyway, this netbook is so small! So light! The keyboard is just right for my hands' size, screen is a lil too small though, suddenly everything seems so crowded. But I still like it. =)

Hubby and I are fighting over this netbook, debating over who should it belong to. Obviously it's me right? He's way too big for this. Lol. He should just stick to his gigantic desktop, his precious, with all the ah beng blue lights.

Gift from Aust

2009-10-03T23:51:00.016+08:00

Von has gotten back from Aust on monday, after visiting Zm there for around a week or so. And so today Von and Fun came to our house, to repair her laptop. (She has tons of virus in her lappie, lol) And and and, she brought us gifts from Aust too!

Which is a panty. Apparently when they saw panties in Aust, they thought of me. (Don't ask me why, Von only mentioned that she shouted my name when she saw panties.) And also, a jar of honey with honey comb and two bees inside. There's a bag of candies too, but I put it in the fridge, so I'm too lazy to snap a picture of it. They specially chose a 'Scottish' panty for me too, lol. Well, very special indeed, I would never have expected them to buy an underwear for me. Hahahah~

Earthquake in Sumatra

2009-09-30T23:39:00.000+08:00

Ok, you all know there was an earthquake in Sumatra this evening, magnitude 7.6. As usual, I thought I was giddy, but after Daniel started shouting 'earthquake!', I panicked. I really really dread earthquake tremors, especially when I'm at home, on the 23rd storey!

Being at the top of the building is freaking scary when the whole building sways. Initially it seemed like a mild tremor, so I just kind of ignored it. Then, it started shaking very badly. I can hear all the neighbors starting to run out of their houses, slamming their doors, all the foot steps stomping down the corridor.

I panicked again, so Daniel and I persuaded his grandma to run as well. But she wants to change her clothes first. Seriously, in my mind all I could think of was "it's earthquake! still got mood to change clothes!"

So we waited outside the door, with all our neighbors running past. And there was this lady who was bathing halfway, she ran out of her house wrapped in only a piece of towel, and her whole body was still wet and soapy. LOL.

After a few minutes, the building was still shaking very badly, and his grandma was still changing clothes. I was already getting frustrated, and this giant moth suddenly flew into our house! So my dear husband proceeded to catch the giant moth. One busy changing clothes, the other busy catching moth!! No sense of urgency, urgh!

By the time they were done, the tremors have already stopped. Thanks to this earthquake, I got such a scare that I was wobbly for the rest of the day.

Some Updates

2009-09-28T22:21:00.000+08:00

Some time ago I blogged about how I heart my brother, a few days after that Daniel asked why I never have an entry titled "I heart my hubby", and he went on sulking by himself. Lol. Cute.

Anyway the F1 race has cause A LOT of buses to change route and lots of roads closure near our house, quite inconvenient. But I managed to see the F1 race while I was on the highway! Damn fast, damn noisy! Then I casually remarked to Daniel that we should book a hotel room for next year's F1, so we can have a clear view of the race. And he replied me by saying, "If we can afford to attend the race next year, let's bring your dad along."

It was an unexpected reply, but it made me really touched. =)
Like how he constantly remembers that my dad loves F1 and soccer, and how he wants to buy mooncakes for my mum since the festival is coming. These are really simple yet priceless actions.

And yes, as always, I'm hooked onto Kpop. It's never ending! They have so many new artistes, and they never fail to amaze me. I love all their songs, love their DANCES, love their clothes, everything! Lately, I'm crazy for G-Dragon (upper left), Brown Eyed Girls (upper right), 2NE1 (lower left) and F(x) (lower right). My hubby can never understand why I love kpop so much. I don't know why either, but I just find their music to be really good.

And this, Jo Kwon from boy group 2AM. If you are free, search "Jo Kwon" on youtube, and watch his random videos. He is freaking hilarious, especially when he dances. (Might seem a little gayish) But who cares, he's too entertaining!

Confucius

2009-09-25T10:51:00.000+08:00

I am suddenly very interested in Confucius, after reading one of his teachings yesterday. It never occurred to me to learn more about this Chinese philosopher either. But I want to know more now, probably I can go to the library and borrow any books on him. (preferably his teachings)

Anyway I suddenly recalled that there is an upcoming Confucius movie.

Starring Chow Yun Fatt, bet it will be a good movie. You can watch the movie trailer here.

Also, I'm looking for the Hungarian Chimney Cake that I ate during the Food Fair at suntec. Anyone knows where to buy it? I love the oreo flavored one, but I don't know where to buy it!

Traumatized.

2009-09-23T01:00:00.000+08:00

My hubby's cousins, 5 y/o Angela and 2 y/o Albert were preparing to go out this afternoon. So their mum was busy packing her bag, thinking her kids were waiting obediently by the door.

Unexpectedly, Angela opened the door by herself, and brought her lil brother out. When I noticed they were walking out, I followed them. Being the paranoid me, I just had to keep an eye on them. Our building here is a lil dangerous, there're many chances where you can trip/climb and fall down 23 storeys. It freaks me out just by seeing the 2 young kids walking by themselves. So I told them to stand by the door and wait for their mum.

But kids being kids, they are simply restless. They have to move.

So lil 2 y/o Albert leaned against the small wall between both stairs (up and down), he was wriggling and wriggling, more and more to the left. Before I could react, he has already fallen backwards and he tumbled down the stairs right before my very eyes. And I screamed. (Who wouldn't!)

Thankfully he only rolled down a few steps, and he had a little cut on his upper lip, nothing serious. Oh my god, my heart nearly dropped out. It totally freaked me out. I ran down and faster carried him up, and he cried like hell. His mum got quite a shock too.

My goodness. The image of him tumbling down the stairs keeps repeating in my mind. I was really traumatized. I was so afraid his fragile neck would break or something bad would happen. I wanted to just grab him and run to Raffles Hospital and do a thorough x-ray. The best thing is, everyone else were like so cool about it. I was the only one who freaked out. Zzz.

More food!

2009-09-19T23:51:00.000+08:00

We're really busy working these days, our phones are ringing and that's a good thing. It's Hari Raya, and all my hubby's relatives have flocked to Singapore too, so now we have 12 people living in the same apartment. Another 4 will be joining soon...my in-laws!! (Time to tidy up my stuffs.)

I've been yearning to go to the Games Convention 2009 at Suntec. So we went there on Friday night, with Daniel's reassurance that it won't close that early. We reached at 9pm, and everybody including the staffs, have already gone home. Zzz. Fortunately, the Food Fair was still on, so at least I had a nice time eating there.

We tried this Hungary bread (which we saw on tv before). There're two flavors, cinnamon and chocolate. I bought the recommended cinnamon flavor, and I like it! The outside is sugar coated and is crispy, while the inside is soft. It's nice, but can be a lil bit too sweet if you finish the whole thing at once.

Today we met Bin and Fun for dinner at a mini Thai restaurant.

This is my 2nd time eating there, and I really like the food. Delicious and very affordable. We ordered 8 dishes and 4 drinks, total bill was close to $52.

Should give it a try! It's not air-conditioned, but what's important is that the food is good. It's at Ubi Central Block 301 #01-273, facing directly at the Automobile Megamart.

I heart my brother =)

2009-09-13T01:42:00.004+08:00

A few days ago I was kind of down, depressed and felt like a shit. So I twittered "There's nothing I can be happy about. Nothing." And my brother actually replied me via twitter "yes i can empathise with you. btw, check this out http://bit.ly/taUPt "

And, after reading the news article, I understood that I should really count my blessings. I have hands, I have legs, I had the opportunity to grow up in a great family and completed my studies, and I have a healthy body, what else am I complaining?

And today, my brother dedicated a song to me via twitter "dedicate a song to u @icezcupe http://bit.ly/3Pzw81 Wonders are waiting to start. Live your story, Faith, hope & glory." When I got home and watched the video, I was really touched. =) (oh, and Diana Ross sang so beautifully in this video, it sounded even better than the song track!)

Kor, you don't know how glad I am that you are my brother. Always giving me support in the things I do, saying lame jokes to make me laugh etc.A big thank you. I love you lots.

PS: Kor, I know you're reading my blog. Lol. Anyway X'mas is coming, I want present! Ok wait, mooncake festival will come first, how about some snow skin mooncakes from GoodWood? >.<

Meetup with Gil

2009-09-09T22:50:00.002+08:00

I went on a date with Gil last week, well it took me a week to post this entry cause I wasn't able to upload any photos. Then today I realized something, I did not update the post editor, so I was cursing the old editor all this while. Gosh, I feel so pea-brained.

Anyway, Gil and I aimed to visit ION Orchard and Orchard Central on that day, but we were at ION till like 10pm.We walked a lot, seriously a lot...best still we both were in high heels. In the past, I will always stare in disbelief when I saw how Gil shopped in high heels when I was still wearing flip flops. She used to scold me for wearing flip flops too. So now I'm so used to wearing heels, heels even higher than hers! And now she scolds me for wearing too high heels. Zzz...

We had our dinner at Sho Teppan (located at ION basement 3).
It's a DIY Teppanyaki restaurant, where you can either choose the soup-based Sukiyaki or dry Teppanyaki.

Gil's pot: Beef tenderloin teppanyaki..

My pot: Salmon sukiyaki.

The both of us. I love the food, price-wise I think it's pretty affordable too. Around $14-$19 per set, with either udon or rice, drinks are excluded.

We tried to go to Orchard Central's heaven loft after that, but yea, was too late. So we ended up at KPO (killiney post office), which I initially and innocently thought it is a cafe. Turns out to be a pub. But the ice cream and sausages were yummy!

After all the food and shopping, we sat in her convertible and went for a spin. Lol. And there was this BMW convertible who was trying to race with us. Like always.

6 Years 3 Months. =)

2009-09-08T23:00:00.001+08:00

Happy 75th Monthsary to my mischievious hubby. ^_^

we're getting busier again, lol.

Really busy these days. Work, personal life, family and friends. I'm trying to balance everything. But it seems like I have no time for my own family! Argh!! I want to spend more time with my parents and my darling doggy. Lol. Miss them loads.

Screw Blogger

2009-09-06T16:56:00.000+08:00

Apparently Blogger users in Singapore are having this same issue again, page layout haywired, unable to post images or videos etc. I'm too lazy to find out what's wrong either, considering that I've been staring at tons of css for the past few days. My brain is already flooded with all the computer codings.

On a happy note, our website is done! Feels like a great sense of achievement, thanks to hubby and Jx for all the teamwork too. Hopefully this will prove to be a good stepping stone for us! =)

Nowadays will be pretty busy with work. No idea why everybody is choosing to launch their condominium at this time. The market is flooded with new launches. Buyers are spoilt with choices, and yet not every new launch is exactly a good investment either. I wonder what happens when the bubble bursts.

Santouka Ramen & Femo-mo!

2009-08-31T00:27:00.003+08:00

Tried Santouka Ramen at Central a few days ago, full house during dinner time. Initial plan was for us to meet up with Fun and Bin for dinner. Last minute Daniel had to meet a client, so I went ahead with the dinner plan with the both of them. Weird combination, but we still had a nice time eating. Lol.

Their ramen were pretty good! I ordered the cheapest ramen, which is $12++. So yea, the rest are kind of expensive. I love the egg though. It's half-boiled egg yet the texture and taste are just so different.

The very greedy-looking me. So fishybally. Gosh.

On saturday I played badminton with Von, Chuwei and Guanda. It was like each couple sent out a representative to play in this badminton competition. Lol. I think I spent more time laughing than hitting the shuttlecock.

I look absolutely haggard here...was extremely tired.

After shopping at hougang mall, I went to Von's house. And as usual, Femo was sticking to me like superglue. Initially he was calm, and he sat beside me quietly, constantly wagging his tail. But the minute Von's parents came home, he jumped and started to grab me. Apparently he was afraid that Von's parents will take me, so he became possessive. Weird doggy -_-''

Best still...when I went back to my own home that night. Joey was strangely attracted to me. He followed me everywhere, kept asking me to carry him, and he didn't want to get off when I carried him like this. It's either he's jealous that I carried another dog...or simply because he loves Femo's smell. Lol!

Gigantic Lollipop

2009-08-27T14:31:00.002+08:00

Yesterday we went to Bin's house to help him with some DIY stuffs. After dinner I went to the Prime Supermarket near his house and found this gigantic lollipop! I bought it right away. Lol.

I had to pose my face beside it to show you how big it is.

Cute ain't it? $6.50 for this. Of course it's not a real giant lollipop inside, my tongue will swell if I have to eat such a big candy. Lol, there are several normal sized lollies inside. Oh, and I managed to find the strawberry flavored Oreo that Daniel likes at that supermarket too. =)

Meat Dumplings & Motivational Talk

2009-08-25T23:52:00.002+08:00

Was invited by Zhiming's ex-boss J-son, and wife Doreen, to attend a motivational talk today. Their special guest speaker Dr Andrew Goh was really good, very entertaining. Many people attended the talk as well. But I wonder if these people are really keen on joining the self-employed group, or are they trying out being self-employed just simply because they cannot find a decent corporate job.

If it's the latter reason, and also because of recession, then it's better for them to think twice. Being self-employed requires lots of discipline, determination and patience. I'm learning more as I'm moving along, tough but it's definitely not as monotonous as a daily routined job. =)

And oh, Daniel's grandma made many meat dumplings! They're as big as my hand, and delicious as usual. I ran a simple errand for her this morning, by walking to the nearby market and getting her extra salted eggs. It has been like a million years since I last stepped into a wet market. And suddenly I'm like enjoying this long lost experience. Lol.

Best still, when his grandma told me to drink some soup in the evening, I casually replied by saying I'll drink it when I'm home. When I reached home at 10.30pm, there was a big bowl of soup on the dining table, waiting just for me. Daniel laughed it off and reminded me that his grandma has good memory. Ok I get it.

The Lovely Bones

2009-08-24T23:42:00.001+08:00

Today had a last minute arrangement to meet up with Donna for coffee and chit chat, as enjoyable as usual. =) And she recommended me a book that she's currently reading: The Lovely Bones.

I got really attracted by the novel's title, so unusual. This is a little sneak peek of the storyline:

The narrator of The Lovely Bones, Susie Salmon, is a normal fourteen year-old girl. She has just received her first kiss and is looking forward to going to high school next year. She is on her way home from school when she is stopped by a man who wants to show her something in the cornfield. Susie thinks she can trust this man because he is a neighbor who knows her parents. Unfortunately, this man, George Harvey, is a serial killer who rapes and murders Susie.

Susie is quickly taken to heaven, where she meets Franny, her guide in the afterlife. Heaven can be whatever she wants, and Susie chooses to create her heaven in the image of her hometown high school. However, the only thing Susie truly wants is to be back on Earth, growing up with the people she loves. This is the one thing Susie cannot have in heaven, but there is one way Susie can keep up with her family. From heaven, Susie can look down and watch her family as they struggle with their own feelings about her murder.

Famous director Peter Jackson has filmed a movie based on this story too.

It will be in cinemas this december, not sure in the U.S. or here. You can watch the trailer here (The Lovely Bones). It looks good! =)

Waraku Big Bowls

2009-08-24T00:46:00.008+08:00

(Sorry for the blur image, taken with handphone and without flash)

Had dinner with hubby, jac, jas and darren at Waraku casual dining. The food is good, especially the udon varieties. Just that the bowl is a little too big, so it strains my hands when I am eating it, or when I was trying to get the other dishes. Lol.

Anyway Jas is here in Sg for these few days, so we're busy accompanying her...and eating all the good food. ($_$)

Time Traveler's Wife

2009-08-23T00:09:00.002+08:00

Reading this book now, bought it a couple of months ago. Each time I buy a novel, the synopsis matters a lot. It is the deciding factor for me to buy, rather than the reviews given by other readers.

So far I'm still in the early chapters of this book, but it's looking good. =)

Each time I read a novel, I hope to learn something from it. This includes the comics I read! In fact, throughout my 14 years of reading comics, I have learnt a lot of things. Like words to say or not to say, actions appropriate for various situations etc. Maybe I should encourage my future children to read comics too. Hahahah~

Swensens and my Joey

2009-08-20T23:39:00.004+08:00

My hubby was craving for ice cream buffet ever since he watched a tv programme on it. Coincidentally, Swensen is currently having a promotional 1-for-1 ice cream buffet at ION Orchard as well. So we went to try it today, and the queue was seriously long. Pretty unbelievable, that even a passerby asked, "Oh my god, is this queue really for Swensens?"

The buffet includes waffle, various cakes, chocolate fondue (with marshmellow) and ice cream of too many flavors. I don't eat waffles, and the fondue's dips looked too pathetic, so I was left with the cakes and ice creams. The cakes pretty much cannot make it, weren't good. Ice cream-wise, they do have A LOT of flavors, which is a good thing. But too milky, so it makes you feel yucky soon. We tried 4 flavors each, each scoop is a quarter of the usual serving size, so it's really tiny. But we left after having just one round...to find some proper dinner to eat, and to wash our tastebuds.

I don't really recommend it, but if you are keen on trying...Print this coupon. You need it to redeem the 1-for-1 offer.

I dropped by my home for the past 2 days to visit my little darling, and also to clean the house a lil...

My little darling. He overturns each time I go near him, he's a true weirdo. But too cute.

This is how he kisses me. =)

Anyway the baby my neighbor is babysitting has grown into a toddler, and she talks a lot! Whenever I leave the house, she will run to her door and call me Jie Jie. And she will talk some stuffs that I can never comprehend. Way too adorable. And she likes to say 'Buh Bye' to me too, she will repeat 'Jie jie buh bye!!' like a million times whenever I leave. But the best thing is...whenever she sees Daniel, she will say..."UNCLE buh bye!!" Hahahaha~ ....you should see the ultra sad face of his. Damn funny. =)

Farmville Fanatic

2009-08-18T00:08:00.003+08:00

Our latest craze these days...Farmville from facebook. Simple game, yet it's fun. And a lil addictive.

It all started when I saw Bin playing this game when we were at his house. Then I started, then Daniel, then Fun...and many more. Lol. And my dear Von doesn't want to start playing cause she's afraid she'll get addicted like us. Hahaha~ so cute.

Anyway we had our dinner at that Botejyu+Ajisen+Yoshimi restaurant at Vivocity last night. It will be my first and my last. Not fantastic, and the price is a little too high for that standard of food.

Poor Hubby

2009-08-13T17:34:00.000+08:00

I'm having PMS these few days, and my mood swings are fluctuating like nobody's business. I get offended at the very slightest thing, I get superbly irritated. Girls who experienced it before should know, PMS has like over 200 symptoms. Of course I'm not suffering all 200 of them. Though I feel sorry for myself for going through PMS, I feel even sorrier for hubby, cause he's the one getting all the shit from me. Lol.

Me: My period is coming, so I am irritated and agitated.
Dan: Yea I know, you've been scolding me these days.
Me: Really? LOL.

I've been trying really hard to curb my temper. But I still feel like smacking/whacking people. I cannot imagine what will happen if I get pregnant in future. Daniel will probably end up getting whacked by me everyday. ^_^

6 Years 2 Months. =)

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

Happy 74th monthsary to Hubby~ ^_^

thanks for the surprise gift.

Daniel surprised me by getting this game for me. So surprising to the extend that I actually thought this belongs to someone else, or he was again fooling me. Lol. But anyhow, thanks darling.

On a sidenote, I have gained SO MUCH weight that I am truly horrified now. I have problem fitting into my usual clothes, that explains how much fatter I grew in the past 1 year. My goodness. And thanks to everyone who are commenting that I grew fatter, it's damn depressing.

Steamboat Buffet

2009-08-07T23:58:00.002+08:00

Yesterday went for the Crystal Jade steamboat buffet with some of our buddies, it was sooo crowded! It's $19.90++ for dinner, so total will be around $23 per pax, including free flow of beverages.

We chose the Yuan Yang Pot, two flavors. The sichuan spicy soup isn't really spicy for your info. But the ingredients are really fresh. And each person is entitled to 100g of very fresh prawns.

Best deal is you can order endless baskets of Xiao Long Bao! We ordered 20 baskets...that's 100 Xiao Long Bao...We ate till we almost vomited, until we swore not to touch anymore Xiao Long Bao until Zhiming comes back from Aussie. Lol~

Try out this steamboat buffet, it's really worth it! But careful not to waste the food, the staff there are very paticular about this and they will check every plate that they collect back, and they will charge you for food wastage.

Birthday is Over So Soon!

2009-08-04T23:29:00.004+08:00

I had a really nice birthday everyone, thanks for everything. Had 5 celebrations, I guess 2 more coming up. Like I said, I'm 23 now...time to get more serious about building up our future. =)

On my birthday eve, we headed to iluma together with Bin and Fun. I was standing there staring at all the 'kiap' bear bear machines. A very nice Bin went to exchange tokens for me to play, and Fun did too. ^_^

Lastly Daniel exchanged tokens to play too, he caught the 'I love you' turtle. The bear and the rabbit were from Bin and Fun's tokens. I was walking around carrying these 3 toys and everybody were staring, lol. =)

After iluma, we headed to Selegie for DOTA session. Unfortunately, both Bin and Guanda's cars got summoned for illegal parking. Around $150 bucks each. Gosh.

Today went Von's condominium for a swim too, with her.

Really big pool, and so clean! You should really see how Von prepares to enter the pool. It's like she's on a secret mission and nobody is allowed to know her existence. Damn funny. Lol.

After the swim, I went up to her house for a bath. And my poor hubby got 'tortured' by Femo. He left the house with so many red scratches on his arms, hahaha~ No wonder he gave a 'frightened' face when I told him we were going to Von's house, cause this is always the aftermath of being there. Lol.

Anyway, birthday celebrations will be blogged soon. Wait till I arrange all the photos first. And thanks to everyone who phoned me, who smsed me, who left me a message on facebook/blog. Thank you very much! =)

Officially 23

2009-08-03T11:28:00.000+08:00

I'm 23 years old now~

gosh, suddenly I feel so old. =/

Our Activities

2009-07-31T01:04:00.010+08:00

The past few weeks were packed with so many things. Daniel went to the doctor like countless times. First was his knee problem, then he got fever, and 2 days ago he complained of gum pain. It turned out that his wisdom tooth was causing the pain, so I brought him to extract that extra tooth. In total, his medical bills burnt a big hole. (And he spent the whole night admiring his extracted tooth. Lol.)

And we went for K-Lunch last friday...

The photo that the K-box staff took for us, together with 5 photo frames. An additional $2 for this service with 1 extra hour of singing. Pretty worth it...if only the photo looks better. I look drunk, Daniel looks lost, Guanda has faded into the background, Zhiming looks too chubby. Only Von looks normal. Lol.

Nice singing session though, had so much fun. And we have concluded that Daniel and Guanda belongs to a different era. They chose songs that were from like dinosaur age! Gosh...who ever sings "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree"? It's a 1973 song! They're more like uncles trapped in young adults' body.

We have been busy for the past week. Cause Zm is leaving for Australia soon, so basically all of us are spending a lot of time together. Playing, chatting, strolling etc.

Was suppposed to blog about our batam trip, our sports outings, gaming sessions, kbox session. BUT...this morning I woke up to a feverish hubby. Took me some time before I managed to force him to see a doctor. Luckily it is just mild fever and cough. I almost had a panic attack, gosh...he gets ill really easily. =/

[Edited...]

Fever patient's best friend =)

Whenever hubby has fever, I will have this on standby. Cause he's really prone to fevers, I have no idea why...(he falls ill pretty easily despite his size, lol) And he gets exceptionally stubborn and whiny during such times too. Looks really cute though. =)
I sound like some sicko perverted uncle.

I heart animals

2009-07-15T22:12:00.004+08:00

I have always been a big lover of furry animals, be it dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas, bunnies or guinea pigs etc. One of my dreams is to have a big house, so I can keep many animals and take good care of them. But I know this is impossible, since my hubby is pretty much against me keeping pets. I believe the most he will allow me is to get two hamsters, that's all.

While visiting one of the condominiums last saturday, someone's cat popped its head out of the window. I 'meowed' at it, and it immediately pranced towards us, hopped onto the empty chair and sat with us. So adorable. But hubby didn't allow me to touch it. =(

At least I can touch this baby. =)
My darling baby joey. He's looking at the camera! That's like how rare. Lol.

Being Thrifty is a Virtue =)

2009-07-14T23:39:00.004+08:00

As my 23rd birthday is nearing, my hubby and friends are constantly asking what I want as presents. Before they asked, I had a whole lot of stuffs that I want. Bluetooth handsfree kit, mp3 player, hair dryer with comb attached, clothes, handbag and many more! But the minute they asked me, my mind just went blank...and all I can think of was...what a waste of money!

I have more than enough reasons to convince myself why I don't need the above-mentioned stuffs. My hubby has also been asking where I would like to have my birthday dinner with him. He kept suggesting those restaurants, but all I can think of is cheap yummy food. Lol. =)

Anyway, at this point of time, nothing is more useful to me than money. (pay my phone bills) But of course I will not reject other presents!

These Noisy Days

2009-07-13T17:21:00.004+08:00

Daniel's relatives came over to Singapore a week ago, and the entire house is so crowded. The 2 y/o cries every hour, the 5 y/o shouts and screams, and the endless chatting sessions among everyone...gosh.

The four kids...one minute they're playing together happily, the next minute they're fighting like nobody's business, pulling hair, smacking faces, beating each other up. So scary. And they almost destroyed all my soft toys too. They dragged my beloved extra large dumbo across the entire floor by its nose and salivated on my other toys! You know how horrified I was? I practically kept all my soft toys in the cabinets. =/

Anyway Daniel's uncle gave us all a treat at No Signboard Seafood...

I was sitting directly opposite Angela, and I couldn't stop giggling when I saw how she was gobbling all the food down. She made the food look extremely delicious, and she reminds me of myself. By the way, this kid can eat way more than me. I'm really surprised, considering that I have a huge appetite.

After dinner, my sisters-in-law and I went for a midnight chat at TCC. On our way to TCC, a little green worm dropped onto Jas's sleeve. I was trying to tell her that there is a SMALL worm, but the minute she heard "worm", she panicked, she screamed and started beating me up. If it was a bigger insect, I probably would die before the insect does.

Jas and Jac. My lovely sisters-in-laws. I have come to the conclusion that they love me more than they love their brother. LOL!

Jac and me. We practically share the same wardrobe now, exchanging clothes every now and then.

Yesterday Daniel's uncle gave a treat again! At Angus House, famous for the steak.

The steaks are really delicious, but may cost a bomb in your pocket. The total bill came up to 500 bucks, around $60-$70 per pax. But the steak is really good. =)

6 Years 1 Month. =)

2009-07-08T23:38:00.003+08:00

Happy 73rd Monthsary to Hubby!
This period of time we are like in a state of financial crisis, blame the commissions that take gazillion years to come in. But I believe everything will get better, we just have to get pass this tough period together. =)

Blogger pics is finally working!

Our recent picture. As you can see, we both have grown horizontally, lol. That's somehow my new hairstyle, chosen by my mother-in-law, and combed by my little sis-in-law. I like the hair, but no doubt it makes me rounder. Zzz...

Today we held a steamboat gathering at our house, to celebrate our monthsary and to gather with our usual gang.

Some of the boys helping me to do the dishes, with my hubby using the ice-cube tray to cover his face. Nice dinner I must say, so fun as usual. =)

Irritated by Blogger

2009-07-02T17:47:00.004+08:00

Is it just me or what? I cannot upload any pictures onto blogger! This is definitely irritating me, and to think that their 'Help' page doesn't enable us to speak/email directly to their Blogspot staff.

Yes I know...millions of bloggers here, if they enable us to email them directly, they will die from overwhelming spam. Urgh, whatever. I shall try to seek help from forums. Or if you know what is the problem with my blog, let me know too. Thanks.

On Our Way to Batam!

2009-06-26T20:21:00.002+08:00

On ferry =)

Work Days

2009-06-25T01:07:00.003+08:00

These few weeks we will be busy with all the new condominium launches. So many of them! Now it is the buyers' market, so every developer is rushing to launch their condominiums. There will be estimated 6 new condominiums launching within these few weeks. Like 8@Woodleigh (which we just did), The Gale, Sophia Residence, Vista, Latitude...and more!

The condominium designs are getting better too, so gorgeous. Great for families or investors. If your family or anyone you know are planning to purchase a new condominium, do let me know. =)

@ office. Daniel and his new work buddy, Jianxin.

The 3 of us hanging out Starbucks. We talk about anything everything. Feels good to have a colleague that we can really clique with, no age gap too. Lol.

Us playing with the garden swing at one of the showflats. =)

Plushie Machine

2009-06-22T19:17:00.005+08:00

Over the weekend we were busy at a new condominium launch at Woodleigh. You should see the number of people there. My goodness. The condo units sold like hotcakes! People are buying like there is no recession. And that's good news for us too. =)

On friday night we met up with Zm and Von for dinner at Marina Sq, then we just casually walked to the plushie machines. And we got hooked onto this machine for more than 2 hours...

Not only filled with mentos now, they also have dark ferrero and many many mini plushies!

We both got so excited that we were screaming all the way. Lol! And our men were busy changing notes into coins for us to play.

Our harvest!! (With von's giant cinnamonroll, an exchange from winning 2 jackpots)

I wanted the Mickey Mouse mp3 so badly that we convinced the shop staff to position the mp3 player so we can get it easily. And that Hello Kitty Cactus plushie...lol, it is our secret! (Winks)

And our "kalipok" purses. Von got the white and yellow ones, and I got the pink and green ones. They're so adorable. =)

It was so fun. Feels damn good. Anyway I cannot wait for our getaway this weekend. Though short, but it will be great.

iFat Sushi

2009-06-17T01:39:00.004+08:00

Daniel was really sweet, he brought me to Suki Sushi for lunch buffet even though we are pretty tight on budget. Yeap, spend a little here...save up on the rest. I was craving for this buffet for really long too, and he knew that.

Hubby busy preparing his wasabi mixture. No idea why he likes wasabi. I seriously cannot tolerate the taste of it. Too choking.

My target was to attack their salmon sashimi. But I ended up attacking almost every item on the menu. I ate so much that I think Daniel was shocked. Then I asked him casually, "Do you think your wife eats alot?" And he nodded without hesitating.

Daniel and his glutton wife.
Well...I guess I made the money worth for the buffet at least. =)

We went strolling and I spotted the yellow banana soft toy with the spastic facial expressions. I bet all of you have seen it before. Anyway the minute I saw it, I pointed to it and said, "Biao Jie!!" Daniel was amused, lol. Yes Gil, the banana still reminds me of you... =)

For dinner I met up with Donna and Ronald. Good to see Ronald after a year. He's here for a 3 days business trip, and he's flying back to Jakarta tomorrow. Great career this guy has, being one of the developers for BlackBerry's systems. Nice. And as usual, I had a really long chat with Donna again, just the 2 of us. Just perfect. =)

Searching for Something, But Found Memories =)

2009-06-15T23:58:00.005+08:00

Night times after 10pm is the time I look forward to every night, simply because I don't get any phone calls after that. And so I was digging the bedroom drawer for nail polish, and I spotted most of the cards that I gave to Daniel over the past 6 years. Not many cards, but some of them I don't even remember buying nor giving!

I had to tear them open once again. Keeping them closed for too long practically seals the envelopes.

Valentines' cards.
Top 3: 2005, 06, o7.
Bottom: 2008, 09.
The "Ok Lover Boy" card...gosh, I seriously cannot recall getting that card. Looks so wrong. Lol.

His birthdays' cards: 2004, 05, 06 and 08.
This year I cannot remember if I gave him any cards for his birthday. I think I did! I have the feeling I did, but...oh great...

For our anniversaries: 2004, 05 and 07.
Ok...don't ask me where is 2006 and 2008. I have completely no idea. Perhaps they're at my house. And this year? Yes, I have not gotten a card yet. It's already overdue. Damn... I will get it.

And this...
A totally horrible random card drawn by me in 2004...

When I opened it, these words flashed through my mind: "What the hell is this!? I drew this? OMG, tell me it's not me. Oh my godddd." I showed it to Daniel, I could tell he was stunned too. And he laughed really loud at the sight of it.

I read through every single words in the cards/books that I got for him. Really sweet memories. =)
And I found this secondary photo of him too...

He's the one in the cleopatra post.
Used to be such a playful schoolboy...

And now he's my sweet loving husband. =)
but still very playful!

June 8th - Our 6th Anniversary

2009-06-08T22:26:00.001+08:00

Today marks the 6th year we've been together. 6 years is not really long, but each year that passes is a milestone for us. We've learnt so much from each other, and been through numerous ups and downs together. Till now, every minute spent with you is still so enjoyable. Thank you. =)

We decided to celebrate this year's anniversary with a simple steamboat but with our usual gang.

Our buddies gave us a surprise by getting this really delicious brownie from P.Osh. Thanks! I shall credit Von for choosing the right cake. =)

My hubby, who seriously won't bother about combing his hair. But I'm used to it, and I love him even more for being so not vain, and for being such a simple loving guy.

Happy 6th Anniversary Darling.
10 more days and we will be married for exactly 6 months.
Ever since being 'promoted' into being your wife,
I would say our relationship got even better.
You became even more loving and caring.
Doting on me so often.
Thank you.
And thanks for always reminding me that you're my family. =)
I love you.

For Me

2009-06-07T19:20:00.005+08:00

I don't know what is holding me together.
My husband's presence and comfort? Or my own determination?
I am falling apart, too many things are happening. Too many...
I'm seriously glad that my hubby has a bunch of really good buddies.
They are there not only for him, but also for me.
And also my cousin, my sis-in-law, and a few individual friends.
Keep me sane ok?
It is going to be a rough patch for me.

Liang.Ling.Zi.

2009-06-05T12:12:00.005+08:00

They both have elongated face, not me of course.

Went out for dinner with my primary school buddies on tuesday. Really nice to see them once in a while, though sometimes we have conversation difficulties cause not meeting for too long tends to decrease your common topics. But I still love meeting them.

I was saving our photos when I realised if I combine my name and Bizi's name, we become LingZi. Lol, we're so nutritious. =)

I really want to bridge the gap, but sometimes I'm really clueless on how to go about doing it.

Another short trip to JB.

2009-06-04T19:12:00.003+08:00

Went for a morning trip to JB yesterday, to accompany hubby's grandparents to do some grocery shopping. Yes, they will travel all the way to JB just to buy vegetables and stuffs because they find the groceries there better.

At the pharmacy in JB. They will buy medicine from there as well, because it is way cheaper. You pay like 2/3 of the usual price for the same medicine. Go to Jecki Pharmacy opposite The Store in JB. It's very good, many Singaporeans frequent that shop.

Then we had lunch at the famous paper-wrapped-chicken place. The restaurant is on the same row as the Jecki Pharmacy. If you happen to go JB, do go to this place to try out the food, it's delicious. =)

Stockings Fetish

2009-06-01T01:46:00.003+08:00

My legs in black stockings, I was sitting in a car.

My latest fetish - black stockings. Seriously, I didn't even want to take a glance at stockings in the past. But ever since I started wearing dresses again, I will suddenly switch into 'Marilyn Monroe' each time the wind blows. I believe my undies were exposed when at one time my hubby opened the mcdonald's glass door and the gust of air rushing out literally blew up my skirt.

Anyway, recently I bought this pair of thick black stockings. One reason is that it keeps my legs warm, another reason being it's still better to see exposed stockings compared to undies.

But each time I put on the stockings, my hubby will laugh till his body is shaking. I have no idea why, but he just finds it hilarious. Or maybe in his eyes, I'm just way too hilarious no matter what I do. I realised even my normal daily actions amuses him, to the extend where he will enjoy disturbing me every single day. Lol. I guess I should be glad that he doesn't find his wife boring.

My Little Ups & Downs.

2009-05-25T23:13:00.006+08:00

I've been slacking quite a bit these few days, that's very bad. Not good for someone being a real estate agent, lol. But because we're in the midst of a few negotiations, so I want to just concentrate on these few cases first.

When I feel frustrated or tensed up, it's good to meet up with our buddies for a game or two.

Our frequent leisure - DOTA. 9 of us at the lan shop playing till 2-3am. Feels really good, even though it will burn a hole in our pockets. I am still waiting for them to play Left4 Dead with me, can't wait to try out the newer harder version!

Another leisure of mine - chit chatting with Donna on msn. I've known her for less than a year, but we both hit off really well after being colleagues in Playtiva. We both have endless rubbish to talk about. She's my favorite coffee-partner! =)

And this. Gosh. I placed an advertisement for property in the newspapers a few days ago, and this random person kept harassing me! He sent soooooo many disgusting messages, like one every 15 minutes! So ladies, if you happen to see this person messaging you out of the blue, beware of him. Remember that number ok.

Frowning Eyebrows

2009-05-23T00:59:00.003+08:00

Went to attend a mini party organised by FC's boss earlier on. Was way too tired to interact with any of them either, I just slammed against the sofa and sat there for 2 hours straight listening to them sing.

Career wise, I think it is pretty good for beginners like us. Just that the longer I am in such a career, the higher my expectations gets. And I can get frustrated if things don't go my way or when I feel helpless. I should start persuading hubby to work from office too, working from home isn't a good choice. I want zero distractions.

Of Eyeshadows

2009-05-17T12:54:00.003+08:00

I've been trying out a variety of eyeshadows recently. Gold, brown, pink, blue, purple, green, beige, cyan etc. To the point where I look horribly colorful. Still can't really find a color that suits me perfectly. But so far I really like earth tone shades, like the ones I wore for my solemnization.

Not visibly clear in this picture, but I am wearing pink and purple eyeshadows. I forgot lipstick. T_T Anyway if you have suggestions for any eyeshadows that can create a "sweeter" image, do let me know. =)

My lazy boy. He greets me like mad whenever I return home, since I only see him once a week. I'm starting to miss him again, guess I'll go home later to accompany my parents and this little baby.

Yummy Steamboat

2009-05-12T23:47:00.000+08:00

We arranged to have a simple dinner with our friend, in the end decided to have steamboat. So we met Zm, Fc, Qi and Andreas, and the 6 of us headed to the $13 steamboat at Chinatown, but it was closed. Not sure closed for a day or forever. Lol.

We walked a little and decided to try this steamboat, at the row of shophouses just beside New Bridge Centre. $15 per pax, why not?

Pretty small area, but they have both open and airconditioned area. Customer service is good too. And their beef, mutton and pork are really fresh! No chicken though.

Their soup base is one of the best I've tried. Really delicious. It's even better than Chong Qing's soup base. And it's only $15, even though the drinks are exlusive. Just bring your own drinks then. =)

5 Years 11 Months

2009-05-08T19:58:00.003+08:00

Happy 71st Monthsary Hubby~
everyday we're so busy that it's difficult to find a proper time to relax.

I went into the gents unknowingly when I visited the Suites @ Central condominium. Daniel insisted that a photo should be taken. Anyway the condominium is gorgeous, especially the swimming pools. Omg.

Uncle Robert

2009-05-05T17:18:00.003+08:00

My uncle (my aunt's husband to be exact) passed away on saturday night. My dad told me about this on sunday morning, it was due to heart attack. It is a little difficult for me to accept cause it was way too unexpected. Three funerals within a year. A little too overwhelming.

My 8 year old nephew, also my uncle's grandson. This is him playing the eraser game with my dad. (I thought this game is already outdated.) So adorable and so full of energy, he kept singing some chicken song while looking at me too, probably he was hoping I can understand his song. Lol.

Movies and Drama

2009-04-30T13:19:00.004+08:00

These few days I was so hooked onto the korean Boys Before Flowers (Hanayori Dango) that I practically forgo sleeping and chucked my career at the corner. The drama is sooo good. They were a bunch of really good looking actors and actresses, and they all can act!!

Both the actors who acted as Gu Jun Pyo (Domyouji) and Yoon Ji Hoo (Hanazawa) are simply amazing. They have very charming smiles. Omg. Watch it to believe it. I watched it from here... www.mysoju.com

On monday night, Gil brought me along to watch Taken, after she won the tickets from 98.7. Lol, so we ended up watching the movie together with DJs Shan and Ross. I wasn't expecting much from the movie, but it totally blew me away. It was so thrilling that at moments I really forgot to breathe. Awesome movie!

And last night we watched 17 Again with zm and fc. Another great movie, it was hilarious. Now I understand why so many girls are swooning over him. He's freaking charming.

One Day in JB!!

2009-04-27T03:54:00.006+08:00

On sunday we had a mini trip to Johor Bahru together with Bryan and Weibang, my hubby's buddies since primary school days. It was a "must-have" miniature vacation before Bryan's leave ends.

Being the paranoid me after reading so many horror news about JB's safety, I decided to go handbag-less and I also turned my wedding ring around. At least I feel safer this way.

Went to City Square, the last time we went there was 3 years ago during our 3rd year anniversary. Still a great place for shopping, the centre has expanded too!

Weibang's ice-cream from Baskin' Robins. I commented that the toppings given were so much that I couldn't even see the ice-cream.

With Hubby. He has been coughing for a week, but he still insists on drinking cold beverages. Erghhh!

We then cabbed to JUSCO shopping centre. So big! It looks like a bigger version of Vivocity. Really nice place for shopping.

For dinner Bryan brought us to the Medan ****** Meldrum Walk behind City Square to eat. I cannot remember what is that 6-letter word though. Anyway, food is really fresh and cheap!!

And and and!! I bought 15 comics for only 64 ringgit!!! So freaking cheap. The price of comics in Singapore is triple of that in Malaysia. This is my new found paradise man, awesome. =)

Hello!

2009-04-24T14:57:00.002+08:00

Here to say hi! Just got home after meeting a client in early noon, will have to go out again in the evening. My dear Gil is already spamming my msn with the "angry" emoticon, lol! Will make it up ten times to you yea. =)

Back to work!

Errghhh!

2009-04-22T22:31:00.003+08:00

I miss the time I had brown-dyed hair, for 2.5 years of my university life. Every semester my hair wore a different color - red, super black, brown, ash brown, golden etc. I was so colorful.

This is when my hair was at its best. So easy to manage and I loved the color. Now my hubby forbid me to dye my hair. But I swear I am gonna dye it someday somehow!

And this was when I was almost at my thinnest too. Now I am like getting rounder ever since I got married to Mr P.B. dammit... I feel like a freaking fishball.

Of Asthma

2009-04-19T21:38:00.004+08:00

I've been coughing for two weeks, and it gets a bit annoying especially when I have to cough in the midst of talking to my clients. I have seen a doctor a week ago, it wasn't a throat infection. It was partly because of my asthma that my air passage got really sensitive, so it makes it pretty hard for me to breathe during the nights. And the doctor prescribed me some medicine to open up my air passage, and reduce the swelling.

But I guess it's time for me to get my inhaler again. When I told my doctor I haven't used my inhaler for the past 3 years, he was like..."WHAT?" Lol.

This is how my inhaler looks like. Seretide. But it looks so much like an air-freshener that I never wanted to take it out.

My mum is also scolding me for not buying the inhalers. Well I never thought much about it, cause my asthma didn't act up for the past few years. So I thought I could save some money. An inhaler per month, 12 inhalers a year! But I have to go back to Mount Elizabeth soon. My breathing difficulties are quite terrible these days.

I would wheeze and cough all of a sudden. Then I will struggle to breathe and my eyes will tear. Horrible feeling!!

So busy!

2009-04-15T19:03:00.005+08:00

We are really really busy everyday. I totally have no time to blog properly. =S

Oh and I revamp my blog! Changed the skin, love this skin, so sweet. Lol. Will add more gadgets soon.

Apologies to my dear cousin Gil, cause I totally have no time to meet her. Lol! Poor thing. Guess she's planning to ignore me soon, hahhahaha~

5 Years 10 Months

2009-04-08T23:36:00.008+08:00

Happy 70th Monthsary Hubby!!
let's work hard for our career. =)

These few days I am really busy, have no time to update my blog at all. But I will revamp my blog when I get some free time on hand, then I'll talk a bit about my career too. Lol. Till then!

Ouch.

2009-04-01T21:08:00.002+08:00

I am just so clumsy at times that it really irritates me!! I knock my head into everything. I kick into everything. I burnt my hands by touching the joss sticks 4 or 5 times. I dropped my handphone 3 times within 2 days. I misplaced my handphone gazillion times.

But today is the worst. I was packing some can food from my home, and one of the cans (storing seacoconuts) ROLLED AND DROPPED ONTO MY LITTLE TOE! WTH!!

And there, my blood from my little right toe. More of it has already been washed down the drain. The impact was so big that I suffered a big cut across my toe, and I was so stunned by the pain that I frozed for some moments before calling out to Daniel for help.

Now I have problem walking...each time I exert too much force, the wound splits open. Ergghhh!! Stupid Me!

What's For Dinner?

2009-03-30T22:34:00.003+08:00

We are running a little tight on budget now. So in order to save some money, I've decided to whipped up a few dishes for dinner! Nothing fancy, just a few dishes based on what I can dig out from his grandma's refrigerator.

I couldn't find any vegetables from her refrigerator. It's so unlike my mum's refrigerator, which is more like the doraemon pocket. Lol.

Simplest Fried Rice.
Why I named it so, cause it can be done so quickly and fuss-free. Totally idiot-proof. Daniel doesn't eat vegetables so there's none. (There's none I can find anyway.) No meat either, so what's left are just the eggs.

Saltiest Scrambled Eggs. (Microwaved)
The name says it all. I added too much salt. Lol. I thought all my hair was gonna fall off after eating this. Lol. And guess what, the gas died on me!! Then there I was, left with a bowl of raw beaten eggs, not knowing what to do. (Luckily I managed to stir-fry all the sausages beforehand) In the end, I used the microwave to cook the eggs, portion by portion. Grrrr...

Yummy Seaweed Chicken.
One of my favorite food, and so easily cooked! Just had to pre-heat the oven, then bake them. Thank the genius who invented such instant great food.

I'm starting to find cooking interesting again. Though it makes me feel so housewifey. Lol.

My Grandmother

2009-03-25T11:40:00.003+08:00

My maternal grandmother passed away last evening. She had a heart attack and the doctors were unable to save her. Everything happened so quickly...just last november my grandfather passed away, and now my grandmother is joining him.

I am glad my grandmother doesn't have to suffer anymore though. She has been spending lots of time in the hospital, getting weaker everyday. I guess leaving will be a relief for her.

Our Solemnization (18/12/08) - During the Ceremony Part 2

2009-03-23T15:12:00.009+08:00

Omg this is a long overdue post. Lol. The previous post on our solemnization was on 25th January, almost two months ago. Gosh. But within these two months, lots of stuffs happened. Birthdays, celebrations, work, projects, gatherings etc. I got retrenched too, in case anyone forgot. But now as I think back, it was actually a blessing in disguise. =)

And back to our solemnization entry. These photos were taken right after the ceremony, while we were still at home.

Signifying our date. We were giggling really hard when we struggled to have this picture properly taken.

With Gil. Ultra-sexy dress she got there.

With Gil and Jerrold. He was rushing back to office, so we had to chop-chop and get this photo taken.

Individual photos with my babes. Too bad Ellis left before I could take one with her.

Been good friends since our secondary school days, though we do not meet up much. But I know they will kill me if I never invite them to my wedding. Hahaha~

With my sweeties from NUS...JJ and ZZ. And I love this picture cause I look so radiant!

Suddenly we all look so short. Grrrr.

With Kim Seng and Cheryl...poor gal she sprained her ankle before she reached our house. So she had to be seated throughout the entire ceremony, enduring the pain.

With my brother-dearest and Stella~

With my family...and the special odd-one-out Gil. =)

With my in-laws. Daniel's parents and grandparents.

Our friends!! Not everyone is in the picture though, some left early.

The candid version. Love this picture too...some of them are hilarious! I look like a lesbian here too, hahahaha~

With Daniel's family, extended family members too. Only two uncles flew to Singapore with their families, guess the rest were too busy with work to fly over.

Our family.

Our presents! Look at the smiles on our faces.

Stella caught my greedy face and snapped it down. Lol~

It's money-counting time. Huhuhuhu~

Really happy to receive those presents, even though presents were actually not necessary for solemnizations. But still, thanks for everything! =)

Really glad that so many people turned up for our ROM too. Wanted to invite even more people, but due to area constraint and we already had about 50 guests on our list. But later, we realized that his house was big enough to contain even more guests. =__="

Till then, wait for the last entry on Dinner at The Carousel. =)

Wedding Ring Dilemma.

2009-03-21T00:33:00.008+08:00

If you spot my hubby going ring-less, don't be alarmed. He hasn't been wearing his ring since a few weeks back. He has an allergic infection known as the Wedding Ring Dermatitis. It happens when the skin underneathe the ring becomes red, itchy and irritated. It even developed into a reddish bump for him. He tried for both hands and the same thing occurred.

Initially I thought it was ridiculous, cause even the metal-allergic me could tolerate wearing a genuine silver ring, so why couldn't he? So I went on and researched about it, and realised that this allergy can develop in a few days, a few months or even a few years after wearing the ring. And it can happen to anyone and everyone.

He wore his wedding ring for maximum 2 months then he had to take it off, the infection was driving him crazy. At first I thought that was it, "no one will ever know he's married without having that ring on his finger!" (ok it isn't that bad) But still, deep down I was really hoping he could wear it everyday since it symbolizes our marriage.

Thankfully, there's cure for wedding ring dermatitis.

Well one way is to wash the ring under running water. I thought it sounded kind of useless, so I moved on to the next solution - Applying a thin layer of clear nail polish. I have only one bottle of clear nail polish, so there isn't much variety I can choose from.

I have applied the nail polish on his ring. So now we are just waiting for his skin to fully recover first before attempting to wear it again. (it better work)

By reading the website on wedding ring dermatitis, there are actually 2 more solutions:
- Have your wedding ring plated.
- Purchase a new ring. (<--this is the funniest one.)

Mama's Birthday

2009-03-17T23:55:00.003+08:00

Yesterday we celebrated my mum's birthday. She is 53 years old now, but she doesn't look like her age at all! She can easily pull off as a late thirties lady. =)

Had a spread at home, with lots of crabs. Nothing too fancy, just a simple dinner with the 6 of us.

The little darling of the house. He was actually waiting to eat the ice cream cake.

Our family tradition is to buy the swensen's ice cream cake for birthdays!

While we were singing the birthday song, Joey kept making noises. I guess he's singing too. Hahahaha~

And there, his long awaited ice cream cake!! His favorite is the swensen's special, with 3 flavors of ice cream. This is also why our family tradition is to buy this particular cake...because of our little darling!

IT Show 2009.

2009-03-17T01:51:00.004+08:00

Just in case you guys wondered where I went for the past few days. Lol. Daniel and I were working at the IT Show 2009! I was working as the promoter for the HP student's offer lappie dv4-1301tx. If you were there, you probably would have seen me, wearing a freaking bright orange tee.

Anyway our booth was the craziest booth there, totally packed throughout the entire 4 days. (Cause our lappie was really worth every cent!) I stood the entire day, talked non stop to customers and eating was the very last thing on my mind.

Sales was HELL GOOD too. Since it is commission based, in this 4 days, I earned almost double of what I used to earn in a month. So glad I took up this job. Not really about the money, but more about the experience I gained there. Sales line is definitely not easy, but once you achieve your target, it is really fulfilling. =)

PS: Everyday when the IT Show ends, the entire event hall will look like a warzone. I think the amount of paper wasted there can contribute to a mini forest.

Zhen Ling's 23rd.

Last friday we celebrated ZL's birthday at The Crew Room. He opened so many bottles of Macallan and Martell, it sure must have cost a bomb.

Cheers and more cheers.

Jas and Gd.

We started playing a card game initiated by ZL, loser has to drink that big cup of "assorted" alcohols.

Daniel lost once, but his cup was filled to the brim with alcohol, minimal mixers.

I was hoping really hard that I won't lose, but I lost! Dammit. I'm a horrible drinker, so halfway through the cup, Daniel took over and drank it all for me.

Jas lost twice! But she looked extremely happy, lol. Her cups were filled with Tiger beer only, lucky.

Julie lost, ultimate sad face, lol~

When I was still sober.

And I was drunk soon after. I was in this dazy state for more than an hour, and my entire face and neck was hot and reddish.

Daniel getting molested by the rest of the guys. Hahahah~ poor fellow.

Rach spilled some alcohol onto CW, and HonInn started "cleaning" him. So damn wrong man.

And Daniel started singing! Lol! I burst out laughing when I heard him sing. Both FC and him were singing, then when it starts to hit the high notes, we could hear them saying this through the mic..."Wo mei you li le..."

Love this picture, they look so happy. Buddies since their secondary school days. =)

Taken before I got drunk. Lol.

With ZL the birthday boy.
When ZL's citibank friends came, they all fed him so much alcohol that he became dead drunk, he doesn't even know that we all sang birthday song for him. Shagged.

And my boy became drunk too! First time seeing him drunk, and it was hilarious. (I can walk in a straight line!) But honestly, I dislike it when he was reeking of alcohol smell. Better drink alcohol with mixers in future.
