BF and I decided to visit Joo Chiat as we have always wanted to explore this place.. I had done some online research the previous night to check out some famous stalls.
We parked our car very far from the stalls and had to do a bit of walking. During our walking journey, we came across a very classic red building and this caught our eyes immediately, we began snapping away until an uncle waved to us and politely invited us in to visit his gallery. We hesitated awhile but we accepted his invite. We went upstairs to the gallery to take some photographs. Though we weren't born artistic but there were one or two nice oil paintings that caught our eyes and were dazzled with the artworks.
The uncle who invited us in was actually the owner of this gallery and he even treated us to cakes and mineral water. We thanked him for playing a good host and then continued our search for Kim's Seafood place, managed to find it after walking for another 1 hour.
We ordered the famous XO hokkien prawn mee that comes with big oysters! The mention of oysters here tickled my cravings again and I want to go back for more! haha. It's nicer than those outside but it's slighter on the expensive end. One plate is sufficient for two people's share.
Next, we headed to look for Kway Guan Huat for it's famous popiah.. It certainly took us some time before we found the stall as we aren't familiar with Joo Chiat area. We ordered one roll and tried it. To our dismay, it was not as good as what the reviews have recommended! It was a disappointment. There was nothing fantastic as it seems. I seriously think Qi Ji popiah scores far better than this!
On our way back, we bought durian puffs and cakes from Puteri Mas to call an end to our Joo Chiat journey. My parents simply loved durian puffs and it's a complete joy to them...
Unfortunately, BF fell sick soon after and couldn't enjoy the durian puffs...
Shall upload the photos soon... ^^
I had a bad headache on Saturday while BF was having bad sore throat and flu so we decided to stay at home resting... It must be the tiring walking and the scorching sun that caused our unbalanced bodies. haha. BF said I spread the virus to him! I'm innocent~ I didn't spread my virus to BF hor! It's very unusual of me to be at home on a Saturday but I'm glad I did as I had my beauty sleep replenished.
Well, I slept almost the whole day and finished reading my magazines. How time passed when I'm at home!

Stars For A Cause 明星志工队
Today is the first episode for Stars For A Cause, debuts every Thursday from 8pm to 9pm.
I watched it with tears inside my heart. It's a show about how the celebrities joined charity organisations to different parts of the world to spread the love. It's a heart-warming programme that I believe it will influence many audience and also understand that riches and power may not be the only happiness in life. Sometimes, we should be contented with our lives and not demand too much at times.
I have always had a liking for Ah Bu who previously hosted King of Adventures. He appeared to be born a natural man, a big brother who can engage in conversations with any age, any race. He is very sincere and upright and I always have a deep impression of him playing a humorous TV host. Today it's about how he had travelled to the rural area of China to visit the poor kids staying in poor conditions. I can't believe they never brush their teeth and wash their face since the day they were born... When Ah Bu taught the kids how to clean their face and teeth, they were over-whelmed with excitement. One deep impression left on me was about a young gal who incurred an illness, thus unable to speak and hear. Eventually she was kicked out from school so as not to affect other children from learning... Oh my, I almost cried when I saw this. I'm always an emo weakling for such programmes. >.<
This programme inspires me further to get engage in charity work someday. I know actions still speak louder than words so I will not elaborate too much on what I am going to do. But I hope to be able to commit to charity work someday when I can afford the time and energy. I'll bear this in mind and will add this in my prayers. ^^
I took leave tomorrow. I'm still recovering from my sore throat, ulcers and abit of cough. My brain needs a break. I need a break before my body suffers under this six letter word "STRESS".. Glad that BF has been encouraging me and giving me hope!
Plans to run some errands like setting up POEMS account... and also visit Joo Chiat for some local food. Some research done! ^^

I'm fighting the coldness in office now with mild sore throat, mild headache... I think I am falling sick very soon... It's not a bad thing to fall sick actually, I can rest more at home. hehe... Let's see if my condition worsens tomorrow...1.5 hours to knock off time.... Time is so slow today. Happy waiting, like real. :(
Last Saturday, BF and I went to Tampines One. Actually nothing much there. I only got a fox top from a 50% sale. We had dinner at the Japanese Gourmet Town. It's operating similar like Marche except their selection are mainly Japanese crusines. I liked the concept, it has different design layout at different corners of the place. After dinner, we headed to Sunset Way for another round of desserts to fulfill our cravings.
Spotted this small cafe and decided to drop in for their desserts. We ordered the signature desserts by the chef. The desserts looked mouth-watering and I can't help myself but to take pictures of them before we finished them up. But the desserts are just a little too sweet for my buds. :)

My Monday blues is so serious today. I surely wasn't in my best mood. First my painful menses cramps made me lose sleep last night and this morning when I open my outlook, I had so many emails to read! I don't feel like working today after seeing one crazy email sent out plus I felt so lethargic. having so many "cases'' to follow up and they are all piling up... So many "not so nice" things happening today..
I hope my mood will be better tomorrow. Else, it's hard to survive the rest of the week! BOOM!
Whenever I think of BF, my mind feels at ease and chatting with him every night makes me happier. Maybe I should keep his photograph and leave it on my desk. Whenever I get upset, I can catch a glimpse of his smiling face. hehe.. But then again, my desk is arranged openly in the front row and anyone who walks from behind can see what I'm doing! Super no privacy at all. Damn... I just hate my seating arrangement.
My parcels have all arrived... I ordered from 2 different websites and I liked most of them so much.. hehe.. Some are alittle too loose at my bust area so I got to alter them. Yes! i have new clothes to wear for this weekend. Must choose a pretty one to wear on Saturday when I meet dear. hohoho..~

Weekend Updates
I had spent whole Saturday morning uploading my Batam photos in FB.. Have been too tired to blog on my Batam trip, there's over hundred photos to upload so I guess I should leave you guys to view my remaining photos in FB. :)
Here's my short weekend updates:
BF and I went to catch Transformers at J8. Quite a nice movie.
Finally we went to the new shopping mall: Tampines One. Plan to visit the new mall again as we only have an hour to shop around. BF bought his stuffs from Uniqlo. Nothing for me from the mall though as time is tight and I had to head to Pasir Ris chalet organised by colleagues in the late evening.
There's alot variety of BBQ food. I can see that alot of effort has been put in by Tyan and DC. Thanks guys.
I left the chalet close to 12 and BF played the chauffeur for the night to send me home safely. ^^

A Tribute to BF, Family and Friends
Started to feel emo the moment I came back office these few days. Last week was super busy at work, 2 of my colleagues were on leave together and left me to cover their duties. It's always hectic when things come to such concidence but I have to accept it and do my best. My temper at work was bad too, I admitted. Luckily never flare up at BF. I feel guilty that sometimes I vent my anger at family but I know, no matter what, my parents are forgiving. Blood is thicker than water. We forget and forgive one another. I know I can always count on them at the end of the day.
My current job trained me to make correct judgement, not to be wishy-washy in decision-making, settle pertaining issues fast... which often resulted me feeling more stress and fed up. I hope I can afford some leave to have a long, deep rest on my mind to start a better day at work.
At this stage reaching "club 30" in 2 years time, my character has proven to be more stronger and I tend to be selective in people and things. I start to know myself better, know my likes and dislikes now. Ahem... proud to declare, I'm a big gal now!!
My BF truely understands me more than family and friends and he is one who also accepts me for who I am, good or bad. That is why I placed him first of everything..
From now onwards, I will only cherish the friends who have been understanding, patient and supportive to me. I am grateful for the friendship of these people.

Batam Holiday: 26th and 27th June
Im back from my short holiday! It's the first time spending BF's birthdae overseas!
This batam trip was specially planned to celebrate BF's birthdae. I sponsored this holiday for his birthdae and bought a key ring from Agnes B for BF...
It was a relaxing, short trip for both of us... I am glad we have lotsa fun. The service from the hotel staff were excellent, they were helpful and greeted us with smiles, the massage from H spa was good. Everything was well-planned and we had a line of activites that kept our weekend busy and enjoyable. Anyway, I shall not elaborate too much, let the photos do the talking. Shall wait for BF to finish up with the photos and jot down every details. It won't be too soon because we took over 200 photos.. haha~ We just kept snapping away like nobody business.. haha~
I would recommend friends to the resort I stayed in: Harris resort... Too bad we didn't get to stay in the new wing as some of the rooms are not ready yet. The new wing looked very nice and romantic feeling.. pure white in colour!!
Just a side note, I think I had a bon appétit during the trip. I kept eating and eating which shockingly, my tummy looked abit round and my pants abit tight now. Opps :X
To be continue on my holiday trip.... Cheers to a bright Monday everyone!

Surprise from Darling
Went shopping with sis and bro. I wasn't feeling too good shortly when we reached there. It could be the humid weather plue the stress from work. I wasn't in tip-top condition to shop. Anyway, I got a cardigan from Mango sales which is my only buy. Around 5pm, went to BF's house as he was on work standby.
Darling was very sweet enough to drop me a lovely surprise! A surprise to cheer me up! It's a bag I was looking at while we were out shopping a few weeks back. Thanks darling :) He told me he had not gave me a surprise for very long, which I think it's true. hehe.~
I felt unlucky these days. Lowest peak! Work, work, work! Besides work, my computer is giving problems. Very slow and cannot shut down properly... Then my eyes are also giving me problems each time I worn the lens. Recently, I stopped wearing contact lens as I had redness around my eye area and the redness took a few days to recover. Sigh.. Being the vainpot me, I forced myself to wear glasses to work.
Damn it.. UGLYBetty Wendii.

External HDD crashed!
"Memories can never be erase with photographs."
External HDD crashed! All my precious old photos gone! And the crashed HDD was the only lead to my old photos which I naively never kept a copy in my desktop. WTF.... Luckily, Bf has some of my pictures folder in his desktop but it's a pity I would never be able to retrieve the rest. Sobz... Every photograph revealed a different aspect of my life.
I asked my colleagues to help me buy a new HDD as they were at the IT fair yesterday. This time I have carefully chosen a sleek and lightweight model so I would be able to keep it safe, unlike my crashed one, heavy and bulky... My sis has a similar Seagate Freeagent GO model in red so decided to opt for the pink colour instead.
S$109 for 320GB. A good buy!Oh.. I finished reading Confessions of a Shopaholic! How many months did I take to finish the book? Around 2.5 months.. That's extravagantly long.
Waiting for their confirmation for BF's birthday which happens to fall on school holidays! Hope there are still available slots 'cuz I don't have any backup plan! Bought my Purple-pink bikini set at Sheer Romance yesterday and I loved it to bits. hehe.

Birthday plan revealed!
Darling's birthday is coming in 2 weeks time!!! So excited, hope the plans will go smoothly. wink wink. I want this birthday to be much, much better than last year!!
Anyway he was over at my place last night to fix my external HDD and he accidentally discovered what I planned for his birthday. Why must he be a damper to discover my secret plan? haha. Maybe I will change my plans, or maybe not. Make a guess BF.. lol
Ghosts of girlfriends past
Will be catching this movie at Bishan later. Saw the preview quite romantic and comedy. hehe. Before this, will be doing some shopping at Orchard again. Thinking of getting a new bikini set. :P

I love Wonder girls
I had sleepless nights the past few days until yesterday, I managed to fall into deep sleep after deciding to take doctor's medication. That is the only solution I could think of to make me sleep. Doctor had previously given me a mild medication for relaxation to see if it worked for me. Well, it proved effectively that I immediately fell asleep and couldn't awake this morning! I won't be taking it again unless this is really necessary as I don't want to rely on medication to sleep.
Mood Swings...
My mood wasn't good at work recently. I admit. I know my temper is still controllable than some of my other nasty colleagues. A few times, I tried not to flare up but I really dislike people taking me for granted. I USED to be a said "yes" person. Everything, anything I also said yes. Even if I only have a pair of hands and already busy with my work, I still agree to whatever tasks handover to me.
Then I asked myself: "Being kind to others and yet being miserable to myself?" And now, everything is so clear. I am clear on my stand. I trust myself and I will do what I feel I'm responsible for. Because I'm no wonder girl like what they think. haha
WONDER GIRLS
Really liked the Wonder girls MV "Nobody". Their dance moves and music are breathtaking!! Have been watching their MV almost every day! Click on this link to watch their MV here: Wonder girls Enjoy!
