Mesmerized...

that special place :)

Changes in my life...

I permed my hair. Again.

I'm single. Again.

I realized how much my friends love me. Again.

My life will never be the same again.

8 things I can't leave home without

8 Things I Can't Leave Home Without
1) Wallet - $$ and driver's liscence.
2) Keys - Car + home
3) Phone - In case I get lost in some ulu place and I need directions
4) Namecard holder - In case I suddenly have to go meet clients or some event to attend to
5) Make up pouch - same reason as #4
6) Personal handy 1st Aid Kit - Asthma inhaler + cotton wool + panadols + mentrual cramps pills + sanitary pad, etc
7) Organizer - In case I have some appointments I forgot about or I lose my phone (I copied all the numbers down in my organizer)
8) Bible - My security blanket

What's in your bag?

I think I'm getting OLD-er.

How do you know when you're getting OLD-er? I suddenly feel that I am.... there are a few incidents.

1) When I used to meet up with my jiemeis, we either got kbox, gossip about old school mates, play mahjong for hours, or look up people's friendsters and laugh at their pictures.

NOW... when I met up with Pam, all we did was talk about serious relationships, money, housing loans, etc. WTF?? Then we met up again the following week and gym'd, not gossiping about old school mates or anything..... ARGH. I'm totally losing my 38-ness.

Next time u all see me, better throw some juicy gossip my way.

2) The little kids I usually meet will play with me and their parents will ask them to call me "jiejie". Now suddenly I'm known as Auntie Brina by children @ church and friend's houses.

3) I used to club and pub every week, and sometimes even everyday. And when no pubs are open during the week, my sis and I would actually be desperate enough to hit some Thai Discos. Most of the times having to take turns to drink-drive home.

NOW... I went to zouk with my boyfriend last week (complaining and nagging the whole time about having to dress up and go to a crowded place when all I wanted to do was sit at home and watch TV) to meet his colleagues. I insisted that I will not step into phuture (young kids place) and I will only go to Velvet. But apparently his colleague opened a bottle and I found a stool so I'm happy just sitting and drinking. I started talking to his aprox. 30 yr old colleague, and he told me he hangs out at Lunar, DblO, MOS, etc. OMG, I used to go to DblO with my cousin (loved the ladies night free flow)... but that was DAMN long ago. Like, she's ACTUALLY a mother now. I'm totally OUT of the clubbing phase. Oh, and we took a cab coz Jason refused to let me drive while I'm drinking (he's becoming UNCLE too nowadays).

4) ULTIMATE: On saturday, I woke up at 12pm, washed up, watched TV for 2 hours then NAPPED till 7pm before going for dinner with my family. While I napped, Jason watched 'Skin Crawlers' on his laptop and did miscelleneous stuff around the house.

What happened to the Saturdays when we were so bogged down with social events like birthdays, BBQs, parties, cycling, etc??? SATURDAY LEH!!! The only day I get off from school and work and church... and I chose to SLEEP.


Apparently, here's what Violet and I do for fun now.

Hit the store and try on lame hats.

We should move to texas and hook some cowboys. HAhaha.

Trannys, Vikings and Weird Pink haired ladies never looked so good.
Our Bondage/BDSM costumes for next Halloween.
We tried to look fierce like some pirates of the carribbean picture but the blue price tags keep swinging to the front.... so Tak-Glam.

Anyway, BACK TO MY POINT of getting old.... and to the fact that my lovely cousin June who brought me clubbing since I was 14 and always hit ladies night with me... is now a mother.

I THINK I REALLY OVER THE HILL LIAO LA!!!! Sigh. At least I have an Uncle-ish boyfriend who doesn't mind me sleeping the weekend away and staying at home watching old DVDs with me.

And at least June jie has a really cute baby that I can play with once in a while.

YANDAO RIGHT??? My first Nephew!!!

Oh, and that night at zouk when jason didn't let me drive... I got totally drunk and on the way home in a cab, we got stopped at a road-block. Imagine if I drove!!!

anyway, PHEW.

Totally outdated post... but I was busy!!!

Jason had to work on valentine's day, but he promised me that he had something planned for that weekend... I have to say, he really did manage to keep it a secret for quite awhile, but soon I found out what it was. A weekend suite @ Siloso resort at sentosa!

It was really sweet coz he was NEVER the romantic sort. He never planned anything. Our anniversaries are most often spent fine (some sort) dining + movie. His idea of a date is renting a dvd and buying chips and watching it in bed together. His idea of a good date is renting a dvd with violent action and spluring on kettle honey dijon chips. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out he had planned this weekend in advance coz he knew that the hotel would be full that weekend... I was more surprised that he didn't ask me for help.

So on saturday he woke up early (5 minutes before me) and said he had to go do something, which totally didn't suit me very well since I thought we had planned that weekend together.

Him: Ok, baby. u go back to sleep. I gotta go do something.
Me: HUH?? I thought we were gonna do something together today.
Him: No, this is just for me. I need to go first. Can you drive down and meet me at the hotel later?
Me: Why? Do you have another girlfriend there?
Him: No LAH, trust me. I gotta go.
Me: WTF. I wanna go also la.
Him: Ok, ok. *Then proceed to walk off and take a cab down without me.

I decided to ignore his weird behavior and go down to the hotel myself, since we paid for it and I don't wanna waste it by staying at home. When I got there, I was totally shocked.


He had decorated the entire room in tea candles and rose petals!!!
This is the door I entered...
Awww.... I'm not exaggerating when I say I totally and entirely melted...
Then he urged me to go up to the 2nd level of the suite to take a look... I ran all the way up and look at what he did to the jaccuzi area as well!
I don't even know what to say!!! I didn't get him a present!!! I was even supposed to bring the wine and I totally forgot.

He just smiled at me and told me to change into my swimsuit and have fun in the jaccuzi. Meanwhile, he brought up the ice bucket and my favorite wine, the Moscato for me to drink in the jaccuzi. The one I forgot to buy.

He planned everything flawlessly, even though I was throwing tantrums the entire day about not being able to go down to the beach early to sun-tan... coz he had to prepare all the stuff... But he just said sorry and told me that we can go the next day.

He was so sweet, he kept asking me if he did it right and if I liked it, coz he had never attempted anything like that before and he wasn't too sure if that's how it's done. I teased him and told him he shouldn't have plucked off all the petals, he should have saved me a rose. Hahaha!

Everything was so perfect because HE did it. I never expected him to do such stuff, because usually when I tell him I like romantic stuffs and like to go nice places, he just ignores me and tells me it's a silly waste of money. Even on valentine's day, he said it was stupid to go out coz we shouldn't celebrate just for the sake of celebrating. He said it should be more special than that.

I now understand what he meant. It's really the thought that counts.. I dont think it could have been as wonderful and romantic if he wasn't there with me... it's WHO i'm with and not where I am or what I have. it's HIM that makes everyday valentine's day.

The greatest gifts that he gives me aren't the shoes he buys or the dinners he takes me to... What I lie awake at night thanking God for is Jason's unlimited patience for my tantrums and my unreasonable demands. What makes me so grateful is simply his love for me and the kind gentle support he gives me when I am down, even though I tend to vent it out on him all the time. Material things may perish, but the lessons I learn from Jason... patience, strength, understanding, love, trust... will follow me all the days of my life. *Thanks, honey!*

And here's the best part of the jaccuzi... the view from the jaccuzi in the day...

And at night.
We stayed in the jaccuzi talking and drinking wine till the sun set... It was one of those moments you know you will just remember forever. I wanted to take more pictures so I can remember that day, but I know that if I stopped to take out my handphone to take pictures, I might miss a split-second of what was going on. So I rather just enjoy the moment with him.

It was the best valentine's day ever; with the best boyfriend ever.

Was gonna upload pictures....

This is a lame post, but since I'm already logged in, I might as well.

Was gonna come home straight to sleep, but I decided to blog first since I've not blogged in a while.

Was gonna upload pictures but internet explorer kept restarting and lagging.

Since Pamela came online and there's noone home to cook for me (maid went to market), i decided to ask her to lunch.

So, no pictures for now. cya!

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.

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...

Not yet... but soon, in Feb there will be a little niece/nephew :)

21) What was your worst month?
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.

Warlords and Indians...

Jason and I woke up today with insistent phone calls from Rajwin reminding us that we had a movie plans with them today, which Jason and I totally didn't recall making. After which, Jason and I decided to battle 1.5hr city traffic to get to Lido to meet up with Rajwin, Lutfiah and Shalini... a journey which usually takes us just a little more than 15 minutes.

Why must everyone go to town on a public holiday??? Aren't the heartlands well-developed enough? No, everyone had to clamour around looking at Christmas lights which, if you ask me, look pretty much the same year after year. And if your brain even starts ticking to think that since I go to town too, I shouldn't be whining about the rest of them... Well, good point.

But remember, since Rajwin invited us... HE chose the location. And RAJWIN, why TOWN on a public holiday??? Aren't the heartlands well-developed enough...?

The movie starts at 4.25... we got to lido at 4pm. Surprise, surprise.. No parking lots are available. So Jason and I decided to park along one of the walls, seeing that everyone else did that. We met up with Rajwin outside the theatre at exactly 4.26pm. Well, it just goes to show.. that sometimes, BREAKING THE RULES IS NECESSARY OK.

Oh, another surprise... Rajwin, Lutfiah and Shalini chose the movie:
Ok, Surprise.. because, with the exception of Jason being able to say "man-tou" (he asked me that's that bun we eat with chilli crabs and then he got really amused with the pronounciation)and "wo ai ni" and Rajwin being able to sing a few phrases of hokkien songs.. And maybe Lutfiah and Shalini may have some mandarin swear words and certain greetings existing in their vocabulary... I really did not expect my multiracial group of friends to pick a CHINESE MOVIE!

By the way, as I was musing over that fact in the cinema, I realized that
we were a really diverse group... Raj and Sha being indians, Lut being
malay, Jason being eurasian, and me being chinese... OK, at least it says
so on our I/Cs... so based on that I/C aspect... we officially represent the 4
major racial groups in Singapore.

Back to the movie... IT KICKED BUTT!!! ROCKED TO THE MAX!! PLEASE WATCH IT OR YOU WILL REGRET AND WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SCHOOL NEXT YEAR, COZ ALL YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT AND YOU WILL SEEM LIKE A LOSER COZ YOU'RE ALL LEFT OUT.

Speaking of kicking butts... Our dance performance last night at LIDO was a HIT! Everyone loved it, although during the stunts when Jason had Rajwin on his shoulders and was spinning Rajwin around at top speed, Aunt Viro (Raj's mom) grabbed me and turned a shade paler.

But overall... the guys did the banghra exceptionally well! Better than I ever seen them rehearsing.. The ladies dance had a little mistake, but it was so coordinated (as in, instead of 4 of us doing the exact same action, 2 were doing one, and another 2 did another.. so it had an ALTERNATED look thingy) that it looked perfect.


At Pastor Pritam's house dressing up for the performance.. This is Pastor's 3 year old daughter - Sujaan.. isn't she adorable? I did both our make-ups! She's the cutest, by the way.. she kept bugging me to do her make-up, and she pronounces my name "bweeenah". (Her face doesn't actually look like that, though. Pastor told her, "put lipstick cannot close mouth" so she's actually wincing in the picture. She's really alot prettier in person).

The other girls in the dance. That's Sudah on the left, she's actually nepalese + tamil... she's really preeettyyy. Michelle's on the right and she's the sweeeeeeeeeteeesst girl I've ever met. She's so nice and sweeeeeeeeet. Can't emphasize it enough, man. Haha. She cheorographed our entire dance, by the way. Really talented! She has the voice of an angel too.

The South Asian Connection dance troop!! Us girls with the banghra boys. We'll be dancing this sunday @ church and 2 times in January.. once for a wedding, and another for a major Assembly of Gods meeting @ either expo or suntec convention hall. I really hope that all of us have the time to rehearse and perform when the new year begins!

Of course, how can I resist grabbing my man for a picture? Do we look like an indian couple? Haha.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING!!!

Gwen: Really surprised to see you there! Didn't expect you
to actually come and support us! I really truly appreciate it + plus
the cookie you gave me.. You're the sweetest!

Vi, Han, Prav, Sha & Lut: What can I say? You guys have always
been there... Glad you all could make it down to support Raj, Jason and I!!
Truly the bestfriends anyone could ever ask for... It was alot less
nerve-wrecking to see your faces in the crowd. Love you all!!

the Going's Good, but God is Great!

Things I'm thankful for:

1. Exams are finally over!!! (yeap, i'm mighty thankful)

2. Christmas is coming... Yippeee!!!

3. I have the best boyfriend ever...

this is why:
I was shopping with mommy one day and I saw a pair of shoes that I totally loved. It was only going for $25!!! Only they didn't have it in my size... OBVIOUSLY, since people with sized 6 feet always have great taste. So I whined to Jason about it for 20 mins, shaking him from his sleep that night. He finally agreed to go look for that pair in my size with me the next day.

The next day, Jason took me to Orchard Road and told me to go look for that pair of shoes. Well... actually here's how it went:

Jason (almost sitting down on a shoe-trying stool): Ok, go look for that pair of shoes. When you find it, call me and I'll pay.. I'll wait right here. Take your time, honey.
Me (very systematically ignoring him): Ok, we need to split up. You go look over there, I will look over the other side.
Jason: uh, what does it look like?
Me: Silver 3.5inch pumps.
Jason (picking up a weird looking leather wedge): Like this?
Me: No, honey. That's a wedge.
Jason: Ok, I forgot. What's a pump again?
Me: Covered shoes.. like your men's shoes.. but like, in heels.
Jason: Ok, got it.

After running around the shoes section @ Isetan, Wisma looking flustered for about 10 minutes, I was about to fling my heels at Jason when he trotted over to me holding a pair of GETAI sequin shiny silvery slinky heels (but I reminded myself that he was paying for my heels and that noone is perfect). I politely picked up the nearest pair of pumps and told him through gritted teeth, "honey.. that's not right.. THIS IS A PUMP, ok?"

Naturally, I couldn't find my shoes... Naturally, I saw tons of other shoes that I fell in love with immediately... Naturally, they all costed way more than $25. Looking devastated, I told him to forget it and let's just go before I burst into uncontrollable tears. He suggested going to Takashimaya to try our luck.

After walking the walk to Takashimaya from Wisma, Jason got tired and as soon as we entered the Taka department store, he grabbed the nearest pair of shoes that looked remotely like a pump and told me "See? Isn't this pretty? I'll buy this for you and then we'll go home, ok?" And proceeded to be the best salesman of the year, trying to convince me to abandon my pursuit of the silver pumps.

Lucky for me, he pick up a GUESS silver leather 4inch pumps. And as soon as he saw my eyes lit up, he turned the shoes over the check out the price - $256. "WHAT THE HELL?!! WHY WOULD ANY WOMAN PAY $256 FOR A PAIR OF SHOES?!!! IT'S NOT EVEN VERY NICE." Salesman of the year turned really critical shoe critic at that instant.

We then proceeded to search for my shoes, but of course, the shoes there were more expensive than at Isetan. Disappointed, I led him out of the place lost in my own thoughts, occasionally distracted by some really pretty shoes. When we were at the end of the store, he suddenly turned around and led me back and said "Ok, anything you like that costs below $90, I'll buy for you." I excitedly ran back into the store and picked up pairs of shoes and tried them on, but sadly none are really as pretty as the ones I had in mind.

I told Jason to forget it and that all the shoes below $90 aren't really that pretty. He mumbled a, "boy, you have expensive taste" and then told me that he'll raise the budget to $100. After prancing around another time I was ready to leave that place AGAIN. Before he places another bid, I dragged him out and he said we'll try Paragon.

God bless Paragon! I saw a pair that looked pretty much like the one I wanted! going for only $39.90! After checking out the price, Jason breathed a sigh of relief, but (God bless his manly soul) kept true to his word of the budget and told me to "choose another pair"... So I got 2 pairs of shoes in the end instead of 1!!!

4. I have the best mommy!!!

this is why:

Belated birthday present from mommy: Guess watch - $265
Lunch with mommy @ FishMarket, Parkway: My FAVORITE SUSHI!!!

5. Jason was with me @ zoukout...

this is why:

We all drank in the car on the way to sentosa and everyone was pissed drunk (except of Jason of course, being the responsible boyfriend). Everyone got dispersed and Jason spent the entire night taking care of me and calling all of my friends trying to get everyone together. He was so busy taking care of me that he didn't even get to meet up with his friends in the end!

Most of the time he was just leading me around, asking me if I'm having fun, telling me not to let go of his hand, and of course buying me lots of food and water.

Considering that it was Zoukout and it was really crowded, we didn't really get to meet up with my friends until much later. So it was just the 2 of us + with me being really drunk = totally no fun for Jason. But he kept smiling at me and trying to make me laugh so I wont be bored. At one point, he even pulled out my handphone and snapped pictures of us...

Totally Jason's photography skills @ Camwhoring since I was too drunk:

It's s0 sweet that he does something which he totally hates... just because he knows that I would want to have pictures of that night which was totally no fun, but couldn't have been any better.

6. Our Church's Christmas performance is shaping up really well. (Catch Me, Jason, and our church friends in action @ CK Tangs - outside Orchard MRT, on the 19th of December 2007, 8-9pm!)

7. Violet's exams end this Wednesday.

8. All these blessing from God are upon me!

Sometimes it's nice to know that you're an inspiration to others :)

SLUT!!!

Here is an abstract from http://mylittlenewhope.blogspot.com:

Her name is Rowena Chen... She's a colleague of my husband.. They both join
a bank in Raffles Quay in June 2007. They both went to Geneva for training. She
has recently ROM and is only 25-26 yrs old. She knew he has a wife and we are
expecting our first child. She has her own husband...

I know i cannot blame
you totally as it takes 2 hands to clap.. but don't act as if you are the
innocence victim.. I am the victim, my unborn child is the victim, my in-laws,
sister-in-laws, my family are the victims. Your husband, his family and your
family are the victims. All of us are the victims except the 2 of you. Both of
you should be ashame for what you have done to bring so much pains, hurts,
suffering and agonies to all our families...

U as a woman should know how it
feels to see your husband with another woman.. U have your own husband.. if you
are not happy with him..u should grow up and sort things out with him..not vent
your sorrow to my husband and vice versa.. you are both cowards and full of
excuses for your sins.

U can do this to your husband now.. and my husband
can do this to me and our unborn child.. the 2 of you are really perfect for
each other.. However, just bear in mind that what's goes round, comes around. U
can take my part and continue to help him pay all the bills and debts from now
on.. He can give u all his love like he did to me 8 yrs ago in exchange for your
freedom, trust, independence, to endure his temper and money. I will not feel
shameful to become a single mother and a divorcee as i am clear with my
conscience. I have done my part dutifully as a wife, a daughter-in-law, a
daughter, a sister-in-law and future mother. I have brought his family together
for the past years till both of you destroyed the happiness that i painstakingly
build up.

Just bear in mind that people will know what the 2 of you have
done.. u will always be the other woman in our eyes and the worse kind who left
her own husband for another's husband.

After I read such stuff... I felt really PISSED!! Pissed at the man, for not honoring his marriage with his wife, and pissed with that ROWENA for not having any shame.

WHAT KIND OF BASTARD IS THAT??? SOMEMORE THE WIFE PREGNANT LEH!!!
He really isnt fit to be a husband or a father. Who does he think he is??? He should count himself lucky that he found himself a wife. Yet, he treats her like that?! KARMA WILL COME TO YOU.

And why must a woman go for a man that belongs to another woman??? Is there really no other men around.. or is it simply more FUN??? Why be a slut and stick your stupid face where it is not needed? Why can't u respect another woman, being a woman yourself? Why must you degrade yourself and be so selfish and cause other people so many problems??? Only one word for you: SLUT.

BEWARE: IF he can dump a woman for u... he WILL dump u one day for another woman as well.


Why is it that when you love a person, you can simply stop loving them one fine day? Is it because:

1. You didn't really love them in the first place
2. You are a fucking bastard
3. You're weak and you can't resist temptation
4. The other girl is FUCKING CHIO that your balls throb everytime u see her

Ya, you all think Rowena must be some hot chick right.... I found her pictures on some forums.. here's how she looks like

The man in the picture is just another random guy, i think...
WAH LAN EH! SIBEH CHIO AH!

As a woman myself, I really feel for the wife.. and I shall blog about this.

As Gwen says:
c wher dat slut can hide
shd find dat guy'z foto too

Some women may not care about other women's feelings and some women may think they can do whatever they want. But in this society there are rules governing such stuff and even in this day and age.. no matter how commercialized the world is, THERE IS STILL JUSTICE AND MORALS.

I'm glad that alot of women are speaking up about this issue on forums and blogs.

Men can treat us like shit and people can think we're materialistic. But when it comes to such stuff.. it's nice to know that women still stick together.

And any woman who betrays another woman for a man, deserves to be outcasted.

Nice Pictures

SO NICE!!!

when i uploaded my ppt, i browsed a little and saw this:



NICE RIGHT???

ARGH!!!

This is a season for bad things to happen:

1. QiQi's leaving for USA today (for 3 years ok!! IM NOT BEING WHINY ABOUT A PATHETIC LITTLE HOLIDAY. It's 3 DAMN YEARS)


2. I'm sick (fever n throat infection)


3. Pravin's sick (same symptoms)


4. HALF of town is blocked coz of the ASEAN summit thing.


5. Nothing good on TV and since I'm at home bored to death, I'm watching MARTHA STEWART.

ARGH!!! I wish I could send Qi off.. but she says she doesnt want any of us to go coz later she will feel like crying and wont wanna go. Also, my mom decrees that I STAY AT HOME coz i'm sick........ DAMN.

Jason sent me a sweet little ecard. "There will never be another you. Love you! Get well!" *blush*

Ok, i decided to be a blessing to others too.. so I made this:

Speaking of WU LIAO I just received an email from gwen... it goes like this:

S T R E S S

I am not sure exactly how it works,

but this is amazingly accurate.
Read the full description
before looking at the picture.
The picture below has 2 identical
dolphins in it.
It was used in a case study on stress levels at The Mater
Hospital Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water.
The dolphins
are identical.
A closely monitored, scientific study revealed
that,
in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical,
a
person under stress would find differences in the two dolphins.
The more
differences a person finds between the dolphins,
the more stress that person
is experiencing.

Look at the photograph.....and
if you find
more than one or two differences
you may want to take a vacation!

Wah Lau!!! TMD...

Very cute lah, GWEN.

Money = Happiness

Once, a businessman went onto a little island, where he saw a fisherman
sleeping underneath a tree in the broad daylight. Beside the fisherman, he
saw a
bucket of the fisherman's catch for the day, and the fishes were huge
and many.
The businessman thinks to himself, "WAH LAN EH. never see this
kind of DUA TIAO fish before leh! Fry with sambal sure damn SHIOK AH!"

The businessman asked the fisherman, "oei, uncle... why do you nap
here
instead of fishing?"

The fisherman answers, "Enough already lah. sibeh SIAN leh.. fish all
day. relac laH!

Businessman: "But if you fish more, then you got more fish what!"

Fisherman: "And then...?"

Businessman: "Then can sell more lor..."

Fisherman: "And then...?"

Businessman: "Then can earn more money and franchise lah."

Fisherman: "And then...?"

Businessman (already damn dulan with stupid old man who keep asking stupid questions): "Then you can retire early and then take all the money then go to a nice place without having to worry and lie under a tree and relac lor!"

Fisherman: "Isn't that what I'm doing now?"

Businessman: TMD...

My ex principal at DHS told us this story once during morning assembly and I remembered it till now. Moral of the story: Contentment.

I always thought that money cannot buy happiness and as long as we are happy, there's no need to worry about education or money or anything.

As Raj says, "WAh, like MUD lifestyle lah! just relac one corner.. but at least they are happy right?"
And Han says, "They got the dumbass courage to follow their fucked up dreams"

But anyway. To emphasise on the point money not being able to buy happiness... Han, Turner and I bought a 6-pack beer and sat by the river opposite butter factory one night, discussing how nice it is, to have cheap lukewarm beer with your bestfriends.

Then I told han my fisherman story and Han enlightened us:

"Ya, rubbish ok? Firstly, you said he live on an island right. So no need to
study what, dont even think the island got school lor. Secondly, he need to eat
he just fish, no need to worry about making money.... SINGAPORE HOW CAN LIKE
THAT???"

Haha. I think in Singapore ah pek sleep under tree and relac... only got 2 things. Either people mistake him for beggar and throw money for him, or police come and fine him.
But even if kenna fine, that also proves the point that in Singapore you need money.

But I indignantly told Han,

"Money so what? More money more problems. Rich people also got problems what. The more you have, the more you spend. I think poor people sometimes are happier..."

Han resisted throwing his empty beer can at me,

"BECOZ YOU GOT MONEY WHAT!!! you got ever hungry until just enough money to buy one loaf of bread for dinner.. thirsty until have to go into some primary school drink from their water cooler..."

Me: "WAH LAN EH! got so drama or not! (heehee) Anyway, money can't solve EVERYTHING what"

Han: "With money, you can solve the problems that money can solve.. problems that money cannot solve, another day then talk. But without money, you can't even solve the problems that money can solve"

Me: "But maybe after u solve the problems that money can solve, the other problems become more...?"

Han: "True, money cannot give you answers.. But money can give you more options."

Me: "tmd.. why everyone so money face???"

Anyway I have to say, I agree with Han.. Money may not give you answers.. but it definitely gives you more options.. I look at my beautiful pink VAIO laptop.. my new phone.. my pretty Honda City... my pink walls in my bedroom... super-fuckingexpensive school fees... and think about people who don't have all these.

Money has indeed opened up alot more options for me.

If not for money, I won't even be here blogging.

People without money, may be contented.. but you never see rich people complaining that they have too much money either. And even poor people who think that they are contented.. you still see them earning money and buying 4D.. Why else Singaporeans gamble so much?! Simply because they want more money!

It's true that being contented brings true happiness.. but if everyone is just happy with a mediocre life and do not aspire to do something more... they might as well just bring a guitar and a black cat to any void deck and waste their life away. People will not work hard for anything simply because they are happy with what they have already.

So people who say that they can be happy without money and they don't need money...

WAKE UP LAH!! DON'T BE A FUCKING STUPID LIAR!!!

P/S: I have nothing against malays.. Im just talking about those malays who do nothing with their lives and waste their time.
Not all malays in general.
