The Journey to Pasir Ris Pet farm...

My reflection caught in action.

Mr Cool is driving very steadily..

The journey was a smooth one with abit of rain..

It was a wet and gloomy weather but it did not keep us from visiting the puppies. The rain stopped soon after we reached the pet farms. Too bad I can't take those pics.

I love the cute puppies lots!

Forget to add on, the church bought a cake for those whose birthdays fall under April month. Here are some snaps shots! Des is one of those who gets to blow out the candle.

Singing the Happy Birthday song...

Blowing out the candles

Sales at Hyatt and Grandma's 87th Birthday

I got excited when sis told us last night about the BIG sales holding at Hyatt. So we decided not to miss this one. We reached there early this morning but still had to queue! With the economic downturn, people still can buy things. haha. Luckily we were there early, if not I don't think there were any good things to pick. Brands like Gap, Raoul, Guess.... were having more than 50% discount. The ballroom was filled with people early in the morning, snatching and grabbing whatever caught their eyes. I bought BF a Raoul shirt and a Guess evening bag for myself. My bro got for himself a Raoul shirt, tie and a pair of Gap jeans. He can be such a spendthrift than any of us! Well, Sis and Mum left the place empty-handed. I could not stand the heavy crowd after an hour. I surrendered! Indeed, I am getting old.

Only this caught my eye.. The nicer ones were grabbed by other gals :C

We had lunch at Hans and then more shopping was done at Far East. I got a really cheap pair of heels and crop pants for myself. Hehe.. ~ I like sales, especially now economy is bad, everything is cheap that I keep on buying and buying. My colleagues teased me said everyday they see me in different outfits.

I went to Bishan to meet BF to watch Departures. It's a really touching and emotional show. There were some scenes which made me so sad and I controlled my tears from rolling. The feeling of losing a kin is really depressing. I will learn to love my loved ones more...

After the movie, we drove to 10th aunt's place to celebrate Grandma's 87th birthday. Everyone gathered at the function room for dinner buffet, followed by cake-cutting section. My cousins brought their dogs along and I was so in love with the dogs. Wish BF and I can own one someday. Hehe. We tried to sound my mum out about adopting one, but she replied "no way!" Looks like I have to procrastinate our plans or maybe we should turn to BF's mum for approval?

I am so tired, I have been out the whole day. Seems like I have accomplished alot of things today. Tomorrow I have to go church. I have skipped the session for 3 weeks!!

Rain and Des are back from their Japan trip and bought me some nice souvenirs. Decided to take a picture of them before the snacks end up in my stomach. haha!

Gifts from Rain and Des

Next upcoming movie to watch.... Knowing!!! I know BF wanted to watch this movie for a long time.. hehe.. Finally it is screening in Singapore! I like Nicholas Cage.

Okuribito "Departures"

I want to catch this movie.

Reviews were good and friends also recommended this movie too. Of course, I am selective when it comes to recommendations. It depends on what kind of movies I am into. For me, I am into romance, touching and action movies. From the reviews, I believe I will like it alot.

I'll probably catch it tomorrow or Saturday. But the timing from GV is not very good, so maybe, I will just wait for their DVD to release.

I was chatting with BF over at Skype in the office. Today he is on leave to run an important task. haha.. He is very secretive but my 6th sense on his every move is 99% accurate. You can never hide from me! lalalalala~

Pretty Bride-to-be

You know, I have been so looking forward to days like:
- EC's 2nd selection of gowns on 31st Mar
- Beach Volleyball @ Sentosa on 10th Apr
- every weekend where I get to see BF
- BF's birthday in June

Knowing that I have so many wonderful things piled ahead of me, I feel so lucky! BF, work and friends have made me a much positive person.

Today, I took half day from work to accompany Princess EC for her 2nd gowns selection along with her friend Serene. I happened to bang into my colleague at the office lift and he ferried me to Tanjong Pagar where he dropped me near Amara hotel. I know I am abit thick-skinned to ask him first. But since he was heading to town, so he offered to drive me there. I appreciated that :D EC's appointment was @ 4pm so I went to meet BF for lunch first. As I was walking down to the cafe, I took time to look around to see how CBD area has changed since 2 yrs ago. I really missed CBD area. How I wish someday I can work there again. So many things have changed, more restaurants and more shopping!

BF and I had lunch at the "Snacks from Taiwan" cafe, the usual cafe I always went with my ex-colleagues. He has caught a bad flu since last night. Hope he gets well soon :C After his lunch hour was over, I headed to MPH to find my book. I was deciding between "Marley and Me" or "Confessions of a shopaholic". In the end, I got "Confessions of a shopaholic" since I watched the movie "Marley and Me" already. I hope I can finish this book. Tyan's book is still with me and I am still trying to spare some free time reading it. haha. It will probably take me 2 months to finish one book.

I like the pink gown we chose for her!

Now I got to admit, after seeing EC with her gorgeous wedding gowns, I am yearning to put on one too! Haha.. But I know it is still a long way for me, at least wait till I put on another 3 more kg. After several fittings, Serene and I agreed on her three gowns; one white, one deep purple and the other in pink. She is beautiful in those gowns. I am happy I took time to accompany her, this inspired me on how to choose a gown and I definitely want my good friends to accompany me for the fitting too. (besides my future hubby) :D~

I know that it was an impulse to sign up the Bliss wedding package too early, especially we never check out the other bridal packages. I have heard negative feedback from forums about bad service and limited designs in Bliss. I hope that this will not happen to me because I want my wedding to be a happy occasion. Anyway since we have already signed up, no point crying over split milk. Instead, I will look forward to my glamorous day~ muahahaha~

I know BF is planning something le. hehe.. So secretive, I wondered what tricks he is up to. It's hard to guess what he is planning because he has found an accomplice, his bro.

I made a new friend "Faith" today, It just so happened that I chanced upon her blog from internet last month.. I don't know how come suddenly I have the courage to drop her a comment in her blog. =) Hmmm.. I guess you can call it F.A.T.E~

"ai xin" breakfast of the day

A simple meal but the most important meal to start the day...

This morning, I prepared an American breakfast specially for my Darling!! The breakfast consisted of bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, french toast and a glass of orange juice! It's something I have been longing to do, watching him eating the food I prepared. Its just so sweet.
Somehow I wonder how life will be in the future when we get our new house. Will everything be so sweet as now? hehe..

I took a 3hrs nap. It showed how tired I was.. There was a heavy downpour, that's why I could sleep so soundly that I didn't hear my alarm ringing. Supposing to go for a jog but I overslept! Anyway, my beauty sleep is replenished.


We rented DVD "Sex drive" and watched it last night. Damn crappy and funny show. There were some uncensored scenes. I could hear the four letter words FXXX throughout the whole show and their comical lines really made me laughed like siao cha bor. I was laughing all the way from the start till the end of the movie.. hahaha... It's so nice to have a good laugh sometimes..

Oh my! Can't believe weekend is gone just like that...

Meeting up with the birthdae gal...

Time flies... Again, it's my BFF's 28th birthday!

Due to her tight schedule struggling with work and studies, we decided on a nearby place to meet up. I treated her a simple fare at Ichiban Sushi at BPP. I also brought along the bags which I had ordered for her online and her pressie.

Around 3pm, her BF came to pick her up. And today was an official day of introducing ourselves and getting to know him. I felt so happy for her! From her conversations on what the guy has done for her from small little stuffs like helping her run errands, sending her sis shoes to the cobbler and buying toilet bowl cover, it's really obvious he is a super duper nice guy! When HL told me some of the PC components can fetch some prices at Sim Lim Square so when I told them I got one old CPU at home, her BF does not mind coming up my house to carry my old and dirty CPU back. He told me once he sells them, he will let me know... Wah so kind of him... He helped me to get rid of this old and dirty CPU. I dun even think this is worth any amount. lol. The most important thing, he leaves a good impression on me... Not only does he treats my BFF well, he also treats those around her nice. Plus points for him~ I even suggested to them we should have a dinner someday. It will be a double date for us and must be fun too~

Sorry no photos taken.... It has been a great week of meeting up with pals~ Next, my godbrother's birthdae coming up~

Finally I got my new bolster.. It's time to throw my old one which I have been using for 4 years! I will miss that smell of mine..

Coming soon!

There were so many things to blog about.. hehe.. but don't know where to start... This week has been a tiring week, didn't do anything much but still feel tired. Don't know why. I always need dosage of rest so I could start my day feeling lively.. haha. For others, 8hrs of sleep is sufficient but never enough for me. I like to sleep early and wake up late... Sounds like a pig right! Super annoying, I got 4 ulcers in my mouth and hardly could eat well these few days. Sigh.. I really hate ulcers!

Ok, I shall start off with my Friday nite...



Coming soon!
Had dinner with my ex and current JSE colleagues (Tyan, ET, HJ, Eni, WL) at Yakiyakibo Teppanyaki in JP. It was so great to meet up with everyone and we had so much fun. :D Btw, JP has alot of new shops and there are many fashion shops around. It's like another mini Orchard.~ Im quite surprised of some new labels found there and their designs are exquisite. Next time must force BF to go there with me. haha

After dinner, we headed for a horror movie "Coming Soon". It was Eni's idea to watch this Thai movie. Seriously, I wasn't a great fan of horror movies, can't even remember when was the last time I watched one too. Haha. But anyway, this movie is not really scary, especially for faint-hearted souls like me. Funny, I could still hear people laughing instead of screaming when the movie started. At one moment I thought it was some comedy movie we were watching. I wasted my $8 shutting my eyes and covering my ears throughout the movie. The plot was good though. There was a small twist in the storyline and some humor scenes. This is not considered one of those horror Thai movies that will make u have nightmares! So u can watch it if you are as timid as me~

Saturday = Shopping Spree + an evening at the museum

Met up with Jen for lunch and shopping spree at Far East Plaza. As usual, I can't kick off that shopping spirit in me... We had a fruitful shopping trip with great buys. We also went to Canelé Pâtisserie @ Shaw Centre for high-tea.. wahahaha.. ~ Saw the menu they serve snacks, lunches, not just cakes alone.. Hmmm wondered how's their food... The strawberry cake we ordered was normal.. The staff still told me its one of their signatures. What a lie!


After that, BF came to fetch me and we went to Asian Civilian Museum. Me at the museum?! haha.. I just went there to past time.. Heee... We went to visit the special exhibition of Kang Xi emperor. Shy leh, I don't know who is he.. I failed my history badly so history was not my cup of tea lar... So this time, not to waste my $8 per entry ticket, I spent time reading up their history. Now, proud to say I know abit of history liao!!! I remembered Kang Xi emperor had 50 over concubines with over 55 children. He was one of the significant figures of the Qing Dynasty... Ok la... not bad le.. I got the facts in my brain now. Surprisingly, I saw a lot of teenagers inside.. Are they ignorant like me??


The rain has stopped by then and we walked over to the Central for our dinner... Then to KAP Mac for some free net-surfing with BF's new toy "Acer netbook".. Cheapo us!!! Surfed for some diamond info.. BF explained to me what are the 4Cs so I gained another new knowledge today.. sounds good for me~

Wedding bells are ringing~

It was so great to meet up with EC and hearing the good news of her tying the knot with her BF! We had lunch at Northpoint. As usual I was on time while she was late again despite meeting at her house nearby.. haha.

Just a thought that comes to my mind:
Some couples are consider lucky (not sure if lucky is the correct word), had their 1st relationship and then right into marriage. For some, they had to go through a few failed relationships before finding the "One". However, note that this will make them more wiser and in each relationship, you're definitely a step nearer to what you want. Every relationship is unique in its own way. There is no right and wrong. It is just a matter of time before you get it. For those who have been unlucky in love, I am sure soon you will find that "One". Pls do not give up....


We had our girlie chats over latest news of our lives and she revealed to me how her bf had proposed to her. It was at New york snowing last dec and he had hand-written on the snow "will u marry me?", kneeled down with a diamond ring. And of course, she said yes. That was so romantic. How sweet to propose in the snow... We discussed about our dream wedding plans and I gave her some ideas so she may consider. I am sure it will be a perfect wedding for her and her bf~

I will be her jie mei on the actual wedding and also will be taking half day for her appointment with the bridal studio on her trying of gowns on 31st March. She will be having her photoshoot in May! So excited for her! I am looking forward to that.

After few hours of non-stop chats, BF came to pick me up. It was pouring so heavily at Yishun suddenly. We then parked our car at Far East plaza. We had our shopping done at Far East, Taka, Paragon mainly searching around for a pressie for one of my colleague's birthday. Finally decided to get her a perfume. So I rang up Tyan for her advice, coincidentally, she was also at Paragon. We met at the perfume corner and both of us decided on Burberry Weekend for her. Btw I got myself a gorgeous pair of heels and a semi-long coat, can't wait to wear the coat for my next trip. hehe.

After shopping and dinner done, met up with Carol, des and rain and we drove down to Selegie Road for Rocher beancurd....

Quick Update

Just a quick update before I turn in to bed....

Recently have been "hooked" on the net so much, especially when I get home, I will switch on my PC sitting on my comfortable chair for hours! I am into FACEBOOK! In the past, I really dislike Facebook, puzzling how to use the functions and applications.. But as time passed, I started to "upgrade" from Friendster to Facebook. Now, my Friendster has been neglected but I will still try to log in to update some stuffs once in a while.

I am happy to be able to keep in touch with old frens through Facebook, managed to find a few friends that I have lost contact with. Judging by the photos, some are married, some have kids, some have changed since the day we left school.. Anyway Facebook does wonders. Thanks to the ones who created it.

Hoping to search for more old friends.... Ok, nite!

Its a sunny day!

Every Sunday morning, BF will pick me up from home and then to church without fail. This morning, I woke up feeling very cheerful, didn't felt tired at all. The past few days, I have been seeing dark clouds or storms so when we were at the expressway, I looked up the sky and saw nice blue sky with white clouds, I felt really delighted and couldn't stop smiling to myself. It's partly cuz I usually don't get a chance to see a fine morning weather. Praise the Lord for the good weather today! It did not rain!

When we reached, we went to carry the laptop and projector from church office and started to set up the stuffs. So expert liao. Everyone was saying how early we were. lol. As usual, the session ended closed to 1pm and we had our lunch at the canteen. I don't know why today I was talkative than usual. I started to chat with the church members and laughing away. haha. Somehow, my mood was so good today!

Since it was such a fine weather, we decided to give Xiao Hei a bath. We drove to Grandma's house at Serangoon for a car wash! The weather was so hot and we were perspiring throughout. It was a good exercise scrubbing and wipping Xiao Hei sparkling clean! We even vacuumed the carpets. The whole process took us 1hour! Now Xiao Hei is back to his shiny black again. I found some scratches on Xiao Hei at the back... Have to think of some ways to make it less visible.

Updates on Saturday.....

Cam whoring before meeting BF

BF's pc is spoilt so we went to Funan Center to fix it. But I need to buy some acne gel from NKS salon so I took train down from city hall to Somerset while BF waited for his PC to be repaired. Luckily the rain has stopped. I am so happy that I managed to get the acne gel from orchard as the Tampiness clinic is too far for me. I bought additional bottles to top up S$100 to get their membship card. After that, walked all the way down to Wisma to buy the black skirt I have been thinking about before my BKK trip but it's out of stock! So sad... Then took train back to city hall to meet BF and we decided to head to Sembawang Yacht Club for dinner.

I have been there once in the afternoon but I still prefer the night scenery. I like to witness how the sky turned from blue to black... The wind was blowing and it was cooling to sit outdoors. The western food we ordered were so-so. I don't really like the teriyaki chicken I ordered. I like the night scenery especially glazing at the yachts floating away... hehe.. When will I ever get a chance to sit on it?

Some pics uploaded for your pleasure viewing..

Nice scenery...

See that tiny dot? its the moon coming out...

trying to cover my double chin!

And lastly, an artistic shot of BF while waiting for our food...

Marley & me

I want to catch Marley & me! I heard it's a good movie but the book is definitely better with more story contents. I am planning to get a copy of the book soon. Just want to promise myself I can finish a book. Some other movies to catch like: He's just not that into you. Hmmm, since there are so many nice movies to watch these days, BF decided to purchase 10 GV movie passes at S$75. hehe. Hurray!

I couldn't sleep last nite thinking about my BKK trip and many more. I suddenly have some ideas for my wedding preps for the near future and also how to sabotage my BF.. hehe. Wish I can jot this down somewhere before I forget them.. Maybe just sketch them out when I am free bah. keke. So many people getting married this year: Rain, Eileen and some of my colls..

Shall try to turn in early.... zzZZzz

4 days 3 nites of Eating, Shopping & Slacking at BKK

Do pardon my long post. I took almost half a day to finish writing.. =)

25th - 28th Feb 09
I'm back from my BKK trip! The place was pretty SAFE than what I had imagined. Nothing extravagant happened at all! The people as usual, were nice and polite, they spoke with gentle Thai accent. No wonder Thailand is known as "the Land of Smiles".

During the trip, BF & I took small naps so we don't tire ourselves so much. We decided on a relaxing trip with no hassles. There were enough time for doing the things we wanted.

The day before going to BKK, we had watched The curious case of Benjamin Button. Alot of emotional scenes drawn to my heart. Between life and death, every aspect of life changes in time. Somehow I just loved movies that tickled my heart and brain to think deeply of what the movie is relating to us. The storyline dragged for 3 hours and after the movie, I stood up feeling abit giddy and headache... :( The moment I got home, I stomped right to my bed.

On Wednesday, met up with BF at AMK to run his errands. After which went back to his place. Luckily I had already kept my luggage in his house on Sunday. Around 4 plus, it was still raining heavily. We went to flag for a cab and BF's dad had helped us to carry our luggages down. My BF volunteered to flag the cab taking one of the umbrellas with him and asked us to wait downstairs. The cab came soon after. BF was smiling at me, standing at the cab waiting for us while BF's dad and I had to share one umbrella together plus carried our luggages and walked down the stairs.. BF was trying to be helpful but... funny and cute leh him.. :D

We reached BKK airport close to 9pm. Took a taxi for 400 baht + a toll charge of 75 baht for using their expressway. Very expensive I felt. The hotel was situated behind the carpark of Baiyoke Sky hotel. There wasn't any view at all because our hotel is only 9 storey high! We faced the carpark. haha. The room was okay but definitely not the toilet. The toilet smelled like someone had pooed inside and never flushed! Hee.. still acceptable for a budget hotel lah.. I closed one eye since it was cheap. Hopefully, they will do something to the toilets. I liked their lobby. small and boutique style. I liked the location where cheap things were found there. The last time we went, we also stayed nearby so BF and I were very familar with the area. There were many young Japanese and koreans staying in the hotel. Saw one or two hunks :D~

The 2nd day at BKK, we went to platinum Fashion mall and pratunam market for wholesale prices. Bought quite a few tops, accessories and snacks from there. But BF didn't fancy the clothes there. haha. Their styles were different. CMI. We walked back to our hotel, put our stuffs and then took the hotel free shuttle service to Siam discovery. We went to Central World, it was my first time there. We splurged on an expensive lunch at Fuji Japanese Restaurant. (still consider cheap compare to Singapore) I bought Naraya bags too. The boutique was crowded and I had to search high and low for those particular designs I liked until I blur blur also dun exactly know what I wanted. hee. In the end I bought 3 bags. One for myself, one for Jen, one for my coll as I promised to get for them ;) For dinner we just settled for a very simple meal.

The 3rd day at BKK, we went to MBK. Ever since my past incident at MBK, I have never really liked shopping there. It's mainly opened for tourists' spending. The prices are steep. I could have get those from Platinum and Pratunum. We then went to an open concept massage parlour. BF went for a neck, shoulder and foot massage while I chose medicure. I don't really like massage so much, scare of pain and itchy. Worried I will burst out screaming or laughing and everyone will stare at me, especially in an open area. But I felt the medicure price is pricey. The lady didn't do anything much except washing and scrubbing my hands, followed by painting all my nails with designs. At least I thought she will cut my cuticles and massage my hands. Hehe. Maybe I asked too much. BF said I have nice nails so she didn't bother. Well, I (proudly) do agreed with him on this fact. *giggles*

We decided to splurge another expensive meal at Baiyoke Sky hotel at 75th floor for dinner. BF told me since there isn't any chance of going high up to Singapore's tallest building for dinner, we can still afford a meal at BKK's tallest building for dinner. hehe. Anyway I don't really find the need to spend so much to go to Swissotel for dinner for just 1 nite. With that kind of prices, I rather he brings me to 2 nice places for dinner, right?

On the last day at BKK, we woke up super early at 7am! We took a 30 mins walk to the nearest BTS train to Chatuchak market. Kaoz. From the map, we thought it was probably a 15 mins walk but we were very wrong! But it was a good walking exercise after all the good food we had for the past 2 days! When we reached there, it was beaming hot. OMG. We walked for around 8 rows of shops before we called it a day. That was like 3 hrs only? Normally, people can spend more than half a day there, but not us! Chatuchak market has 10,000 stores selling alot of stuffs but we were so tired to continue walking, braving the heat. I think we only conquered 1/10 of the stores. We stopped for coke and some quick bites at a nearby cafe. Then headed back to hotel for a nice bath. Luckily the hotel staff were nice enough to extend our check-out till 2pm. I dun want to go back to Singapore with my sticky hair and stinky outfit.. I dun want BF to tell me I smelled~muahahaha... When we touched down to Singapore, it was 30 mins past midnight. Rain and Des were waiting for us patiently at the arrival hall.

I bought two but BF broke one of them

SO CUTE... I wish I had bought more!

Our loot from BKK!!!

One sad thing about my trip, I didn't change enough currency so I had to plan carefully what to spend on :( Lesson learnt. The next time I go, I MUST remind myself to change more $. BF and I planned to go again 2 yrs later and it MUST BE in January because the weather is more cooling. We intend to get some deco items for our new house as we spotted some nice lights and kitchenware at Chatuchak market. Interesting. keke.
