Last Sunday...

The night before my new semester started, Jason took me to NYDC @ Bugis. Personally, I think it was a pretty cool celebration since I'm so excited to go back to school!!! I even did a little celebratory artwork with the red pepper and cheese.

I know, I'm damn talented.

When we got home, I decided that since I'll be starting school and totally neglecting my beauty regime, I should do it for one last time. I managed to convince Jason to do it with me as well... even though he was acting macho and pretending that it was damn gay, I know secretly he enjoys it (since he admitted that he likes me to do manicure spa for him too, by the way).

Hair Treatment

Step 1: wash our hair in warm water.

Step 2: massage conditioning wax into the ends... (Guys just rub it on like gel since the ends are only 1cm away from the roots)

Step 3: Soak face-towels in hot hot hot water

Step 4: Bun hair up and wrap using hot towel (Guys don't have to attempt to bun)

Step 5: Leave on for 15mins - 30mins (Depends hair texture and thickness)

Step 6: Rise thoroughly

Facial

Step 1: Wash face thoroughly, preferbly using a facial scrub to remove all make up (Applies to certain guys too)

Step 2: Dry face by patting with dry towel

Step 3: Apply mask generously all over face, avoiding eye area

Step 4: Leave on for 15mins - 20mins (Depends on mask)

Step 5: Rub it off or rinse with warm water (Depends on mask)

In case you're still not getting the idea, here's a picture.

I'm sorry darling!

Out of the blue

days ago, my maid brought this package into my room, exclaiming to me with indo-accent: "jie! (that's what she calls us, coz she's only 18 this year. Cute right?) You got mail ah?"


I looked at the package quizzingly for a few reasons:

1. I NEVER receive any mail except for Christmas cards or official letters (ie, credit card bills, parking/ERP fines, insurance mail, school mail).
2. WHO do I know from China???
3. This China person has my full name and address spelt perfectly + my HP number on the front. WTF?

So a feeling of paranoia overcame me. What if it's a stalker and there's a bomb inside? What if it's a dead dog or bear's paw or feotus tonic or whatever it is that China people love to eat and send across the globe? What if some kidnapper kidnapped my car, sent it to China, stripped it and sold the parts, and sent the remaining (ie, my cushions and pink dustbin) back to mock me?

But rationale quickly kicked paranoia in the butt (when I peeped out my bedroom window and saw my car perched beautifully on the front porch), and I decided that no freak or stalker from China would go to all the trouble just to bully someone in Singapore.

So I tore the packaging open and something cold and hard and weird looking dropped onto my lap.... EEEEEKKK!!!

CHEY. It's just the shoe stretcher I ordered from Ebay. So funny looking right?

Haha. Ok, I'm SUAKOO lah, never see shoe stretcher before or never order anything from Ebay before. But I must say, it works pretty well, since it stretches the shoe both sideways and lengthwise. The new pumps Jason bought for me was pinching my feet so I decided to purchase this.

AND it comes with bubble wrap, which I think is like a Bonus free gift... because who can resist popping bubble wrap, right?

Yippee! Pop! Haha! Pop! Pop! Pop!

Last night, after prayer meeting, Jason, Raj and I were on the way home, when Raj called David and David said he was on the way to JB for supper.. So we decided to go home, get our passports, and tag along for the trip. Woohoo! First roadtrip of the year 2008! Haha.

Food was damn cheap! We each changed SGD$10 to Ringgit, and we had more than enough for dinner + bubblegum. Quite a fun trip, except that it was nearly 1am in the morning and we were all in slippers + Shumi was in her Pyjamas.. Haha.

David ordered Hor Fun and Raj ordered Bee Hoon (which he didn't finish coz he ended up stealing David and my food, claiming that Bee Hoon is boring). The Hor Fun was different from Singapore's, and according to David, better. The Bee Hoon on the other hand, was as Raj sadly noted, "Aiyahh... Same like Singapore one....."

So Raj filled up on Teh-Peng (iced tea), convincing himself that it was free-flow since it costs only $0.30 per glass.

Jason and I never had the habit of eating in the middle of the night, so we decided to share a plate of Hokkien Prawn Mee, which turned out BROWN. Jason thinks it tastes like Lor Mee, but I think it's nicer than Lor Mee. It's not as watery and it tastes like Hokkien Mee, only a little sweeter and the noodles are softer, not as chewy... more like Mee Tai Mak (did I spell it right?) texture.

Anyway, we didn't take much pictures coz we were all half alseep.

But with roses from Jason, bubble wrap, and road trip... what nice surprises there were this week, ya?

Story time with Bree

Story #1:

Last Christmas Eve,We hung out with Violet with her Mineral Water and her BF with his Beer.
Jason and I got bored of the Mineral water and Beer couple, so we decided to CamWhore.Violet and Serhan got bored of the CamWhoring couple and 4 of us headed down to CitySpace.

Jason got bored of Camwhoring and decided to join the beer gang.
So I grabbed Violet over to my side.

In the end, the 2 princesses lived Happily Ever After, in a world without beers, but alot of cameras.

Story #2:

One day, we found a Gecko in my garden...

Story #3:

It ended the same way it always does.

Story #4:

One day, I was at dance practice,

totally aware that Jason forgot our 11th Month-sary.

Suddenly, everyone stopped during practice to turn towards the door,

where I saw Jason with a bouquet of roses.

I immediately lit up,

despite being sick and tired.

Here's how it probaby looked like:

What exactly happened in 2007?

Found these bulletin questions on Friendster and decided to do it for fun...

They're all good...

Sorry to spoil the show for you...

But I wanna share a little something I found on the net:

"Everyone’s favorite bi-sexual (but not really) midget stripper Tila Tequila is returning for a second season. Tila and MTV announced she’ll pretend to like chicks again for the ratings juggernaut A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

She claims on her MySpace page that season one winner Bobby Banhart broke up with her and couldn’t handle her schedule. But Bobby says they never even dated, according to the Associated Press:

However, Banhart said in a Dec. 30 message posted on MySpace that "she never called me after the last show and no one would give me her number."

Poor Bobby never really had a “shot” to begin with as casting for the second season had already started in November before the finale even aired:

"This time I wanna find love for real," Tequila said during "Tila Tequila's New Year's Eve Masquerade 2008.".

I’d prefer if A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila was literally a shot at Tila Tequila with a bullet. Fired from a gun – by me. Though I bet she’d be hard to hit because of her little people powers. She’d keep escaping into a “poof” of rainbows and stripper poles."

-source: http://www.thesuperficial.com/

Ahhh... seriously? WHATEVER. I kinda knew it anyway.
But who cares? The show's still fun to watch :)

Although, this DOES mean that Bobby Banhart is single, I guess....
and he really did seem kinda sincere.
*ooh, gimme!!

A shot at love with Tila Tequila

This is Tila Tequila:

Drooling yet? Then you'll be totally addicted to her reality show: A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

After reading about the show on xiaxue's blog, I decided to watch the episodes on youtube and OMG!!!

Ok, for those of you don't know... there's something really hot about Tila (yes, besides the perky butt and nice boobs).....

She's BISEXUAL.

Which makes 'A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila' really interesting! It is a reality show like the Bachelorette, only with a twist - The contestants consist of males... AND females.

So Tila gets to choose between the guys and the girls, while totally making out and getting intimate with each and every one of them (Yes, that means total GIRL-ON-GIRL action for you pervs out there).

Such a shame they don't show it in Singapore!

Oh, and here's a belated Christmas present to get all of you started... The 1st episode of the show!

After you're done, just click on the video. It should link you up to youtube where you can continue watching the rest of the show...

Enjoy!

Happy 2008!!!

Watch night service was great!! Although Raj, Jason and I stayed up for a few nights preparing for it, it was all worth it!! It was an amazing way to usher in the new year - in prayer and worship!! Another great year to walk closer to God.

It's the new year and I think, like everyone else, I shall look back on my life in 2007 and comment.

Here's what's good in 2007:

1. I finally found a good church to settle down in
2. I achieved more than 3.6 GPA for my 2 semesters in 2007 (3.6 and above qualifies for Dean's List)
3. I am really enjoying myself serving in church (offering, dance and worship)
4. I have great family and friends
5. I have a great boyfriend
6. I QUIT SMOKING (FINALLY, thanks to Rajwin)
7. I brought my brother to Christ
8. I am growing in faith
9. I am curbing my temper
10. I am blessed with various material possessios (new hp, new laptop, new car, etc)

Here's what I want to achieve in 2008: THIS IS A REMINDER TO MYSELF

1. Spend more time serving God and the church
2. Raise my GPA to 3.9 (or at least 3.8)
3. Spend more time with my family and friends
4. Appreciate my boyfriend more
5. WILL NOT PICK UP SMOKING AGAIN
6. Disciple my brother properly in his walk with Christ
7. Bring my mother to Christ
8. Grow in my own faith
9. Curb my temper totally
10. Earn and save more money (instead of spending on material possessions, I will give more to church, save for a rainy day, spend some on the people I love)
11. Lead a more healthy life (eat healthy, exercise, drink less, etc)
12. Gossip less

It was an amazing year... and I'm sure of a more amazing ahead.

2008 will be a great year for the same reasons why 2007 was great - that I have my family, friends and most importantly God with me.
