Crazy Sales
All the post-xmas shopping and online spreeing is making a big hole in my pockets! Arghh… I just cannot resist temptation to good bargains. Thought I told myself not to enter those shops that are having sales, my feets will just walk in automatically when I saw something I like instantly. Tsk tsk ..
Well, I already spend quite a bit at Ness on Wed and yet, I still went to check out the private Isetan sale with Cindy & Trixy yesterday.
As there were lotsa people inside , Trixy & us went our own separate ways. At first, I didn’t manage to saw anything that caught my eyes and went a few rounds at 2nd level. And while I’m trying to browse through the clothings, I didn’t even notice that there’s someone familiar beside me. As usual, I’m always so blur. Anna, my secondary partner!! So long never saw her le! She changed so much that I don’t really recognize her much. We lost contact ever since secondary school times. Therefore we exchange our contacts numbers and hopefully this time round, we can arrange for a nice tea session reunion soon. Keke..What a nice pleasant surprise to bump into an old friend in such crowded places.
After a short chat, we parted and I continue to search around for more tops. Haiz. Most of the items were out of stock for my sizes le! So disappointed! But I’m not going to quit until I found something. Poor Cindy has to follow me around, searching for my stuff. Hahaa.. 辛苦你了!! I know it’s damn hot & stuffy, squeezing with so many people. Finally I did manage to get 2 tops for myself, without trying them on. Too lazy to queue up for the fitting room. Cindy also managed to get a nice retro dress, 2 tops for herself and a shirt for BS. Yeah.. at least both of us got something that we like and I’m not going home empty-handed. Winner me! “Die” “die” must get something. Wahahaha..
Anyhow, I shall keep the grey flowery tube top to be one of my CNY clothing then. So happy that my CNY clothing’s are done early so fast.
Ok. It’s time to limit my spending and not to buy anything more unless it’s something I really need. Oh ya, I do need a laptop wor. Time to get one for my own home usage le. Tired of sharing it with my brother when most of the time, the computer is in his room which results that I don’t really get to use it often. Pengz. Yeah~ This shall be my next target item to get in my 2007 essential shopping list bah.
So in the meantime, no more clothing shopping till I get my next pay then.*坚持到底*

Happy times flies

Last Thurs (my first Xmas exchange), I meet up with Trixy for dinner at marina square 店小二. We ordered 5 course dinner which include herbal duck, crispy bean curd, sea cress soup, baby kalian and dessert - sea coconut with 7-up(weird combination rite?). But it was really yummy~
::crispy herbal duck:: 
::小菜::
Surprisingly for a 5 course meal, the pricing was quite reasonable and the food are very much to my liking. Keke.. I dun mind trying there out again. Pity Gs couldn’t join us.
Friday’s gathering was at Nelly’s house. Thankz to Nelly and Dawn who bought most of the dishes. There were log cakes( from Bakers Inn), minestrone soup, turkey and pork ribs together with sparkling wine.
:: Presents and Log cake::My first time trying out turkey and I didn’t really like it. The turkey meat was quite tough. No way am I going to try that again. Chicken taste much more nicer than that. Although I used to be a chicken-meat lover but now, I’m cutting down on that and try to eat more veggie & fish le. Working hard this way to slim down in a more healthy way!
::Yan yan's cute little house::The last xmas exchange dinner session was at Cel’s house. Our usual practice is that each of us has to bring something to contribute to the potluck dinner and the theme set this year was Japanese style. Overall, the dinner was fantastic. Anyway, the most hilarious thing of that night was that cel’s dog( Cobie) and Emily’s dog( xiao B) were trying very hard the whole night, to be intimate with each other. Cobie was not acting himself and seem to be hyper active the whole night, trying to jump pass the cage which xiao B was kept in. Also trying all sorts of ways to push open the cage by urinating and shitting on the ground a few times( dog’s way of making a marking as they told me). Pengz. Poor Cobie was kena caned by Cel for his misbehavior and apparently, he do not really care as he continued to “moan” for xiao B. I guess Emily will never bring her dog to cel’s house anymore, seeing the mess that the two dogs have got into.
In another week time, we will be welcoming 2007 le! So fast.. and that also means my term break has come to an end too. So sad.. why does holiday always ends so fast? And lazy me hasn’t read up the notes yet. Arghh.. Well, got to be more self-disciplined and start really soon. In the meantime, let’s all just enjoy ourselves during these last few days of 2006 bah!

Mind-taxing week
My worst fear is economics. Sandra (my lecturer) always teaches so fast and I really can’t catch up at times. Sigh. I realize that my understanding in class is real slow too and as the months goes by, I just get more blur. For Uol, Econs is all about drawing graphs and applying your theories on it. F.y.i, the graphes are really complicated with tons of lines and curves on it. Not as simple as what we used to draw during maths class in either poly or sec school. So it's either you know how to draw or dunnoe at all. Pengz. First time, I got a feeling of handing in a white sheet in if I really can't draw!!Arghh.... -_-"
I need a tutor!! Help~
For this half-mock exam, I didn’t touch on economics much. Guess I’m going to drop that subject first as we have an option not to hand in the papers (with Sandra’s permission). Haha.. so in the meanwhile for the other papers, hope I can memorize and understand as much as possible within this weekend bah. And after next Wednesday, I can rest and relax for 3 whole weeks! Hurraayy!!Yeah! Xmas break….So looking forward to it! My motivation that keeps me going~
Right now, I’m convincing myself 先苦后甜是值得的. Wahaha…

Mind your own business
Well, the story goes like this : it’s my 3rd time being as part of the sister gang. Going by usual practice, normally the sisters gang would devise some game for the brothers & groom to finish before allowing them inside the house. Just when we are negotiating halfway, “ah ma” came along and speak to us in techeow that we should open the door as 15 mins already passed by. Huh? Wat the heck?? So early?!?! Still got plenty of time ley…Anyway we ignore her the first time and continue our negotiation with them.
But she’s very stubborn as well. A couple of time, she took the key out and attempted to open the door!! Wah…so we keep explaining to her that it’s not time yet and also, no auspicious time was set, we know when is the limit. Apparently, she’s also trying to act blur and keep saying the same sentences over again and again! (Time is up! Open the door! Don’t play le ) Why don’t she just get the message through?? We are not done yet! Arghhh….
My guess is that she’s around 70+. Surprisingly, for her age, she’s quite strong and try to force her way past us and opened the door for them! Shit.. game over!! Luckily they didn’t rush in. Instead the groom was nice enough to continue to play with us for a while before passing us the ang bao. We really are disappointed that most of the game wasn’t played accordingly but out of respect for elders, what to do?? She’s the “ah ma” ley. Little did we know that later on cel told us that she’s not her ah ma loh!
Then who the heck is she?? Guess wat???
She’s just one of the old neighbors staying near them in the past sia… Wahhh…
On hearing that, makes us even more angry loh!! So K.P.O.!! Cel is not even her own grandchildren, why she can’t mind her own business?? Keep wanting to open the door for wat? Our blood boil at the thought of that! Imagine we try to think on the positive side, finding excuse to accept that she’s cel’s granny, we should respect her. Arghh… Just cannot get over the fact that this nosey-unrelated-old-hag try to ruin our plans just like that!! Next time, if anyone else ever gets to be sister again, must make sure all those unrelated ah ma or ah gongs must “lock up” in the same room with the bride. Don’t let them wander in the living room again when the sisters are doing serious business! Pek chey!
P/S : Being a superstitious person, I guess my sisters days are over!

狂欢的一夜
For me, I dun really like this place as it was located in a deserted place, behind gallery hotel. As we couldn’t bring ourselves to ask around, it took us quite a while to find it. Overall, the crowd was alright but definitely not the music (not my cup of tea). First time hearing hip hop music playing in pubs. Tsk tsk…The interior of the place doesn’t look as spacious as I thought. Subconsciously, I must have compared it with MOS. Hahaa…
Can’t wait to see our silly pictures. We took quite a few “bitchy”, act cute, seducing and sweet expression, using Emily’s camera..*Snap snap* Our initial plan was actually to make Cel drunk but she keep on insist that she’s not sporting one. Oh well, how come we let her off so easily? Haha.. so we just make her take photos with a cute ang mo guy on the dance floor instead! He was just standing behind us, why waste the opportunity? Hiak hiak.. I’m the one who thought of that last min idea and Miss aihuey executed it because the rest of us dun dare to approach him. Cel’s face was really in shock when that guy suddenly posed for a pic with her readily.*成功*
In another week’s time, it will be her church wedding le. My first church wedding too. But her banquet dinner is held on next Monday instead, which means we got to help out on these 2 days. Although it will be tiring, I’m looking forward to it. Esp. the saboing groom part!!

年轻就是本钱
Most of the time, I’m always late for classes and just dash quietly to my seats, beside my gals friends(that I know from orientation). In the first place I also don’t really dare to chat with strangers readily too. Well, to girls, maybe Yes, but not to guys. But if the other party makes the first move, probably I wouldn’t ignore that person. Haha..
That’s how I came to know my neighbor cum course mate. As he stays near me, we tend to bump into each other and take the same train ride home after every lesson. Initially, we just practically ignore each other presence but after I guess 2 or 3 months later, he approached me one day and we started to chat from then onwards. Keke.. Apparently, he’s around the same age as my brother and still serving in Ns. Very mature-thinking for his age too. Oh ya, he’s super hardworking as well which can motivate & “stress” me that I’m lagging on my revision. I need that motivation because of my laziness; I probably just start last min which is a big “NO NO” for degree studies. Imagine there are big piles of notes to study for each of the modules, if taking chance to study everything last min, most probably can flunk the 4 papers loh. Tsk tsk..
Anyway, it’s true that knowing a few young friends will make one feel younger. The way they talk is somehow different too, more lively & bubbly. Last night I got to know another of his friend, even younger than him.
Shuan to me : Hey, you look like one of my senior in sec school wor.
John to Shuan : How can it be? Even in primay sch. If she’s in primary 6, you are not even in primary one!
Me : …......(Wat can I say?!?!)

Disappointment

I finally bought my N73 last sat! But sad to say, I found out there’s 2 bugs. Firstly is that the incoming call volume is very soft when I’m listening to mp3 using the earphones. Secondly is about the loud, irritating screeching sound when I’m trying to make video calls to my friends. Wah… Guess I have to go down to Singtel Bugis to change my phone within the week. Hopefully it will not be a wasted trip down and they will change a new one for me instead of pushing all the blame to Nokia.
Well, I’m really looking forward to use this new gadget and YET, this has to happen.
What a letdown! Pls dun let me lost the faith in Nokia.

Good news comes one after another
Very soon, we are going to have a new member in our poly gang! So cool~ Yeah!! I love babies. Even though, married plans are far, far away from me. I always dreamt of having twins if I really have kids of my own. But my colleague warned me it might be a chore taking care of 2 kids at the same time esp when they both look so alike. N most importantly, everything got to buy in 2 sets! Hahaa…
Anyway, luckily for Jess, her vomiting symptoms seem to have lessened over these 3 months otherwise she say she will not be able to enjoy her honeymoon wor. Hmm, so will it be a little jess or mike? Well, got to wait for 2 more months before can know the result bah. Now that I suddenly recalled, in the past, I’m always “conned “by them (Ade & Jess) of this kind of news on April fool’s Day. Now this round time, she’s really pregnant le. Hahaa…
Also, Ade is moving in to her new house at Yishun today. A day she has been waiting for very long after so many months of preparation. Come to think of it, most of my poly friends live around Yishun, Katib and Admiralty. All live so far away from my home! Pengz. Well, that’s partly why I seldom meet them up. Recently, as every one of us is so busy with their own life. I got a thinking - Is it really true that all of us might drift away further and further away as we grow older? I certainly hope that’s not the case.
Well, now that they got their own home, perhaps we can organize some of the gathering over there instead. How about doing some cooking, baking cake or play mj at times? Haha..
That’s just my own suggestion. >.< *wink wink*

Farewell
He was transferred here from Japan to improve the sales of cutting tools department, to cut down on bad debts and to look over for other departments as well.
And he did it! Very splendid results. The top management in Japan is very happy with it. I must say that he is really a very efficient and fast worker. Plus I realized Japanese are very hardworking as well as he’s always the first one to come to work and the last one to left the office. Make me tend to wonder why he doesn’t look tired at all. Hahaa…* 佩服*
One month ago, he finally got the notice from Japan that he had to return to Japan for other job duties. Kinda like an internal promotion to other departments. The first person to be thrilled about this news will be his wife. I heard that she isn’t very happy staying in Singapore as there is language barrier with the others and she’s having trouble communicating too. Anyway his last day is set on 20th Oct. So recently, our company decided to hold a farewell dinner for him. Dining place is at “Min Jiang”, a high- class Chinese restaurant at Good Wood Park. We had a 9 course-dinner (Imagine they choose S$1.5k for one table, so ex!!). Well.. who cares!?!? Most imporantly, we dun have to pay a single cents at all! Wahahaa...
Overall it’s really a very sumptuous meal. Yummy~My first time having 佛跳墙, lobster porridge and the best of all : Bird nest with almond milk! Woooo....
Well, 天下无不散宴席..Thank you dear Mr. Saruta for all these years. It’s been nice working with you and all the best for you!! Hope that the next Japanese boss will be as easy-going & nice as you.

Blissful Couples

Last fri went to attend Jess’s wedding at M hotel and I went straight to her suite the first thing I reach there. It’s so damn classy & spacious! The most significance thing I remember is that there’s a huge Jacuzzi in the bath room and I like how the red roses petals decorating “Love” around the coffee table. Very romantic feel~
Before Mike & Jess stepped in the ballroom, a video of their childhood, teenage yrs & poly pictures were shown. Plus some clips of how we sabotage those brothers & groom at Jess’s house in the morning. Looking through the re-play scene and their “tortured” expression made us laugh non-stop. This means it was a success and all our plans are executed well! A full- 45 mins of teasing and making them eat those horrible yucky raw bittergourd and wasabi bread. Hahaha…evil sisters!
While waiting for each dish to be served, me & 3 other gals were also busy snapping pictures ourselves.
Well it's not like we always have the chance to doll up so pretty, so MUST take lots of pictures as memory! Snap Snap Snap… lol
Anyway congrats Mrs lim! Hope to hear your good news of little mike or jess soon ah!
Keke.. 要幸福 wor.... Aren't they loving in the pic~

Esprit esprit
Yesterday I went with my colleague to Causeway point outlet. Only this outlet & Centrepoint outlet are entitled to further discount for regular items. Before her sister & family arrived, we quickly scanned through the entire shop and I managed to shortlist 2 jeans & a few tops at one shot. There goes half of my monthly spendings again… hahaa
But it’s really a worthy buy as their jeans are quite expensive and Esprit seldom have any major sales going on. Plus, the jeans fit me perfectly! I wouldn't let this chance slip by.. hiak hiak.
With big hip like mine, it's really hard to find jeans that fits! I realize Levi’s jean doesn’t suit me as the cutting is too small. Too pricey for my taste and in my opinion, it's more suitable for smaller-built girls. As for Giordano, the jeans just gets bigger & looser after a few washes. Tsk tsk tsk… Waste of money!
Pray hard that my first 2 pairs of Esprit jeans will not disappoint me.
Well, guess I have to control my spendings this month again. Always broke so early! Got to bear for another 2 weeks more before my pay arrives. Ren ren Ren ren! I can make it!

Fireworks fireworks
After that, we just hang around MS and wait for nightfall to watch fireworks!
Our Initial plan was actually to stand near the One Fullerton to capture the full view but upon seeing the huge crowds of people walking around Esplanade, we change our mind. Dun feel like squeezing in at all.
Instead, we just sat somewhere near MS to watch the fireworks, performed by the France team.
It was a really spectacular show. A full 15 mins of colorful fireworks lighted up across the dark skies. I’m sure some of the cars must have slowed down a while to view it too. After it ended, everywhere seem misty with the smoke around. Tsk tsk..”Contribute” to more air pollution!
Well, it’s a good thing that we were seated near to one of the mrt exits so that we could just quickly make our way to the train station - to avoid squeezing in like mad with hundreds thousand of people together in the rides home.
Anyway, Singapore is really so generous to hold 4 firework performances in celebration of it’s birthday this year. Each year performance just keeps getting longer and better.
And guess what, a really bad news that I just heard from my colleague. In the future for this kind of celebration, if the car drivers continue to create trouble for the traffic police and no further improvement in the road traffic , they might just cancel the whole thing and no more fireworks to view next time!! So saddening~ Aahhhh…PpPPLLLSsSsss dun let this happened!!

Offices politics...
Firstly she dun need to pick up the call when she’s busy typing in data for my boss. Secondly, when she’s talking on the phone (personal call), she’s just dun bother to answer the 2nd line and let it ring and poor us have to help her answer it. It's not the first time it happened. Calls have been flooding in like siao and she just dun bother. What the heck?!?! She cannot multi-task and does that imply that we got nothing to do and we can help her?? No logic at all. How about spiltting half of her pay to us instead?
In that case, I will be most willing to help….
I’m not sure why is my company management is being so lenient with her when she’s obviously trying to act blur and trying to shake off her job responsibility whenever she can. And she’s getting bolder and bolder. She dun even refills the A4 paper at the fax and print machine nowadays. Got one time, she’s so thick-skinned that she even dares to talk back to her supervisor and my Japanese boss - that she done her job well. Crap loh!
Either the management has no eyes or they simply don’t care as it’s a small matter. But to us, she’s trying to create havoc as she’s too free and try to find trouble with us whenever she can. Well, she has this thinking that we are trying to “steal” her job and ruin her “good worker” image. Best sia! Who in the right mind, wants to snatch her job! Pengz…
Blow small matter into big mountain. That’s what some “bo liao’ aunites are best at!
I just study about Japanese management on my IBM lecture 2 days ago. It mentioned a part of life-time employment - something like they will not anyhow sack people, unlike America firms. Maybe that auntie knows of this fact very well, that’s why dares to throw her weight around. But don’t she find it boring to live her days meaningless without nothing much to do?? And making so many people disliking her so much at the same time…
Actually, my company has been kind to her and yet she wants to push beyond the limit. Even thought my big boss already has a rather bad impression on her, there’s no news of dismissing her or anything. She should be relived of the fact and just be responsible on her work duties till the day she retires!
It will do all of us good if she snaps out of it soon and stop treating us like enemies.
.: It’s always better to have a friend than to have an enemy :.

Last sat was spend meeting with the Sjcians at town area, eating and shopping again. Our usual routine. And this time round, Nelly brought yan yan alone even though her husband was at work. Normally her husband will take care of her while we gals went for shopping. So understanding & considerate of him!
Anyway that day, the star of our gathering was little yan yan. Almost everyone who saw her commented on her outfit, esp with her pink band on her head. Look so stylo & lovable. Also, toddler’s skin is really such an envy - so fair and smooth. Wish mine was like that… Flawless-looking!!
Now that yan yan was only about 9 or 10 months old, she's already towering other kids around her age. Can you imagine that some even guess that she's already 1 or 2 years old le?!?! Pehaps it's her milk powder that she's drinking doing the trick... lol...
I just love toddlers, esp at this stage. It's the best time to play & cuddle them while they still hasn't learn to walk much. Once they grow older, i think most probably, they won't want us to carry them anymore.

Too good to be true?!?!
How I wish it was mine!! Arghhh…My colleague bought a new hp yesterday and showed it off to us this morning. I just fall in love at the first sight of it -Sony ericsson K800i. It’s such a beauty!! Makes me so tempted to get it too! Sleek design with black-color casing, integrated 3.2 megapixel digital cameras with autofocus (pics is so super duper clear lo), a large screen, can buy a large capacity SD card to store more songs/ pictures, radio to tune in and it’s 3G phone as well!! Most importantly, it’s not bulky as compared to N80 which I shortlist in my mind at first.
Well, it’s only launched this month- pricing going at S$599 for 21mths promotion at Singtel. Which mean I GOT to wait a few months more for the price to drop…. No point spending so much when I just burned a BIG hole in my pockets recently.
Sucky thing is that my 6230 is only worth ranging from S$120 to S$150. So low value!!!
What if it drops to S$100 in another few months time??? *Horrified* I confirm will be even more sian.
SO, I hope there’s going to be some kind of special launching promotion for this hp soon. Otherwise I just got to wait and hope my patience will pays off.
P.s : Fyi, "Big hole in pockets" was refering to my 2nd installments for my school fees. Not that
I went on a shopping spree that caused it. Hahahaa...

Mystery of Zidane's Head Butt unsolved
I will never forget how Zidane knock his head into that italian guy without warning. Shocking man! I really wonder what has happened btw them. Must be some offensive remarks that caused him to react so violently?!?! Haiz...but Zidane should have keep his cool! The whole world is watching this last match and he has to do this stunt. Kena a red card and being send off, not able to particpate for the rest of the game. What an ending for the last game before his retirement.... 真替他觉得不值.....
Humans should really know how to restraint themself when feeling boiled or provoked. The consequences might be disastrous and will regret it in the later part of life...

World Cup 2006
Italy vs France and Germany vs Portugal.
Hope Italy will win the championship of Fifaworld cup!
Yeah!! At last able to view the matches on channel 5. The days of going down to
Macdonald to reserve good seats for matches are gone.. But I must say it was real fun and the mood of watching matches with the crowds makes mi feel really "gan cheong".
I will miss World Cup once it ends ...
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
None of the gal friends that I knew from the orientation was in the same class (sociology) as me. Sad sia.
Feel so "lonely" in there esp when studying this boring subject combined with a naggy teacher.
Well, I already meet her during the orientation week and bored us with her lengthy talks within minutes.
And as usual, yesterday she threw a lot of smoke bombs at us and talked a lot of unfamiliar term. Arghh.. how how?? I have no single clue what's she blabbering about!!!
I really don't like this subject but what to do?!?! It's one of the core modules and I guess I really have to do a lot of read ups as the term goes by... pengz...
As for the other class, luckily I got Cindy with me. Although she was a third- year student, and I'm still in my first year. It was heng that we can still study the final and only class together! Things weren't so bad after all. Keke.. Without her help, I will still be in a blur of what to anticipate.
P/S : oh ya, did I mention that the admin staffs of that school SUCKS big time! I wonder that if SIM wasn’t so far from my home and plus the $$ issue, I wouldn't have choose my current school at all.

Unpredictable result
Imagine 3 goals within the last 8 minutes of the game for the aussie players! Kaoz…
It almost seems impossible but they made it happen…Damn it!
At first, I was elated at the breakeven score 1-1 because I bought 2 goals for that match, thinking that the score might not have any changes le. But I was totally WRONG.
My heart sank when my mum announced the final score. Arghhhh….. 3 -1 (Australia vs Japan).
Of course, some people are thrilled over it, but not me. Haahaa… Well, as the football is indeed round, there’s never a sure confirm chop answer to winning until the very last minute. You can only depend on lucks on winning. There’s always losing & winning in matches. But I just can’t accept why aussie got such luck! Really a world-breaking record for them!
Down the world cup history, it seemed that they have never went in a single goal for 32 years. But with this magical victory, their government is even thinking to announce a public holiday for their nation people to remember this special event! Wow…
Never mind then. Still have 3 more weeks to go, I shall continue to place small bets on other matches. Keke.. Watching the game and wining the bet together is JUST so exciting and tends to feel "gan cheong" too! *Hiak hiak*
Which country will emerge as the final winner?? Will the final result be what people had anticipated?
Brazil? Italy? England? Argentina? Or Germany?
We shall see….
