My 24th Birthday Wish This is the bouquet which I got for my birthday last year.         My Birthday Wishes this year… Actually I realise, the presents that I want every year is about the same… Sibey boring one me… Always want flowers and Anna Sui and branded bags… *giggle* Anna Sui Magic Romance         Anything from BeBe I also take….           Louis Vuitton Red Alma (dreaming only…)           Fendi Bag (I’ve been eyeing for a long time, not sure if I want to get…)             Angel Eye headlamp for my new car           My favourite dish, TIRAMISU         Pink diamond…         Flowers…         More flowers….           Anna Sui’s stuffs…         Anna Sui limited edition make-up case… So God Damn Angry I am so angry, I am gonna faint… I feel so tight chested and light headed… Damn it!   My glasses which I always wear at home went missing since Monday. On Monday itself, The Boyfriend asked me if I should wake the maid up(it was already 10+pm) so I told him I don’t want to tekan the maid. I didn’t wake her up since I understand that she would be waking up early the next morning.   On Tuesday morning, I told her to search for my glasses. She said she couldn’t remember where she left it. The thing is, it is something I wear at home everyday, and I always leave it either at my bed, the toilet or on my study table. This has been going on for donkey years and never once in my life, have my glasses ever went missing. So, I am both amazed, and shocked that after she came into our lives, my glasses can go missing.   I got home late last night, so I didn’t ask her about it also. Until this morning, I asked her, and she told me she couldn’t remember if she threw it away. How can she don’t remember if she threw it away? What is she talking about? It is not a tiny piece of thing that you can’t see with your eyes. It is a GODDAMN SPECTACLE! How to accidentally throw it away? I just don’t understand.   I am fuming mad, cos now I have to spend money on a new pair of spectacles and without my specs, I am a blind mouse that knocks into walls. It is no joke not wearing your glasses when your astig is -5.75 on 1 side alone… I am damn pissed off lor…   This morning, I told her to make breakfast for me, bread with sausage. As I was driving and I munch on the bread, I almost fainted. She made bread with butter and 台湾香肠 for me lor. Who eats 台湾香肠 with bread and butter??? I called home and told her off, and I told her to repeat what I just said and she couldn’t say anything at all. Turns out, my 10mins of correcting her mistake is wasted because she simply couldn’t understand anything I say.   I am so so so angry. Protected: Very Angry This post is password protected.

Clara’s Surprise Birthday Celebration You know when you laugh at someone and the karma comes back to you. Yes, now it happened to me. I used to laugh at this kaopei kaobu that she is a old woman and old people doesn’t need a lot of sleep thus she always wakes up so early. Nowadays, the same thing is happening to me.   Although I got home at 6+am this morning. I woke up by noon, feeling tired but unable to go back to bed. Think my bio-clock is already used to having only certain hours of sleep. When your mother told you not to laugh at people, it is because of this. *chuckles*   I brought the maid and made our way to IMM to buy some groceries. Lately, I’m in the mood to cook so I wanted to get some food to cook some vegetarian meal for The Boyfriend.   IMM is crowded as usual and I spend 1hour shopping there. I simply love GIANT cos it is god-damn big, meaning I can walk down aisle after aisle, taking my time to look at all the different variety of food. Which means I have a lot of choices and I love varieties.   I got home and cooked my favourite dish, which is steamed toufu. I mixed 皮蛋&咸蛋 before putting them on top of the toufu and steamed it for 15mins. Then I cooked miso soup with the ready paste which I bought from Meidi-Ya the previous time. For the first time, I tried cooking Japanese curry with the ready curry cubes and it actually turned out as good as what we can get in restaurant. No joke k! I put lots of potato and carrot and it is damn nice de lor… Fried some vegetables and we have a feast!   I think I over cooked cos there were quite a fair bit of food left after we had our meal but I am feeling so damn satisfied. I actually can cook lor. I used to hate cooking a lot cos the oil scalded my hand once but now I find it interesting, cooking and eating my own meal. At least my food didn’t kill anyone, so far at least…   The next dish that I really want to make is KimChi but The Boyfriend ain’t a fan of KimChi so I think I will be the only one eating all the KimChi. Also, I want to learn to make Tiramisu (my fav!!!). Which will be kinda tough since it is very tough to make really good tiramisu.   The Boyfriend and I got prepared and rushed down to Clara’s place. Mun had organised a surprise party for her at their place. Initially, the plan was to celebrate our birthday together at Dragonfly but Mun planned the surprise party for Clara thus the plan was cancelled. I had actually made plans with my friends but then, celebrating so early is kinda out of the point for me since my birthday is only next Sunday thus I changed my birthday celebration to next week instead.   By the time we got there, Mun & Clara’s friends were already at the BBQ pit, cooking the food and lazing around. Apparently, the birthday girl is late so we just chill around, having beer and eating BBQ food. They are a nice bunch of people, all very friendly towards us.   When Clara finally arrived and saw all of us there, she was a little shock and kept questioning, why are we there. Then she turned to me and ask me why am I here instead of Dragonfly and I told her I pop by because I was hungry and I wanted to eat and she started laughing.   We began the caking cake session and lots of picture taking. We sang the birthday song really loudly, so much that strangers who were singing in the pool began singing with us and clapped their hands. Such sporting people. Usually if I am out in pubs, and people start singing birthday songs, I will clap my hands along to the song cos I find birthdays are such happy occasions. I simply love to celebrate!         Mun & Clara, the ever loving couple           The lady attendees     More of the beautiful ladies…           Clara And Me (Both of us are Virgos, born in the same month and only 6 days apart)         The birthday girl cutting the cake with the help of her hubby               The yummylicious BBQ food from BBQ Whole Sale.       Mun is such a sweet husband, he actually go to such length to organise a birthday party for her and had to planned everything secretly. After cutting cake, we had more drinks and started playing games. They thought me a lot of games which I had never played before and it was really fun but I soon got tired as I didn’t really rest a lot today.   We went up to their place and the boys watched soccer and played cards while the ladies sat at the dining table and started drinking and drinking. We talked about anything under the sun, from cosmetics, to clubbing to shopping!   Clara has this girlfriend who is wearing white and I simply can’t help staring at her cos I find her so pretty. She has this really princessy but not cute princessy look, and I kept staring at her. Think she is gonna think I am nuts. The Boyfriend isn’t in awe as much as me but I simply love girls with that kind of looks. So attractive. I do admire beautiful girls at times but I am definitely straight.   Their friends started going back 1 by 1 leaving on The Boyfriend, Mark, Sally and me. Mark and Sally is staying over so they won’t have to go. I continued to drink with Clara and Clara forced me to play 5-10. I lost like hell. I simply suck at playing games lor…   I think I drank a bit too much and a tad too fast. While smoking, I felt this insatiable urge to puke and I ran to the toilet and once I saw the toilet bowl, I emptied my stomach out. I really puke a LOT! Think must be because I eat a lot also and the taste is so damn disgusting which stayed in my mouth for a freaking long time.   The Boyfriend quickly send me home and I fell dead on the bed after bathing. I is tired 到~~~~~~~ Dance and dance and dance Extremely busy at work today but I totally enjoy being busy as I find that, if you are free during work, then you ain’t maximizing your efficiency and time will pass by very slowly. Couldn’t get my ass our of the office as there simply am too many things, and too little time. Rushed down to class after work but today, I am joining a different class as I remodule my subject as I actually skipped the previous semester. I got to school late as I was at Suntec with a client measuring the site. Class was ok, made 2 new friends today and we formed a group to work on the project. Marketing Management is the class today. Sounds tough to me… But I love marketing as a subject, it is very interesting and the theories really can be applied to our everyday life… The Boyfriend is having a company dinner thus he ain’t free to meet up with me. I am damn hungry and all I could think about is the claypot rice at Deli Vege. So, I made my way down to the restaurant alone to have my dinner. When I walked in, the customers in the shop all turned to look at me (actually, there’s only 2 tables as it is already 10pm), I guess they must be wondering why am I taking my dinner at such late hours. I couldn’t care less about them and sat down, ordered my food and while waiting, just chill myself out at the restaurant. I use to not be able to eat alone as I would feel very awkward but all that has change. Guess people am changing all the time just like the time will never stop, things will never stop changing. The claypot rice is nice as yummylicious as usual and I enjoyed myself thoroughly but I do feel guilty, for eating so much at such hours but wasting food is a big crime, so I better finish up all my food or else next time my future hubby face will be filled with holes. Adrian sent Mabel down and she took my car from there. We went to Tanjong Pagar where FengJiao and her girlfriends are at. They were at this thai disco named 99. I got a little culture shock initially but gradually, I learn to enjoy myself there. Guess the group really does count and we were just this bunch of girls, having fun among ourselves. We went over to another Thai disco at Shenton way after that and it is crowded like hell. Goodness! Sex does sell very well all across the world. Guess this is the trade that will never die, but many will never want to do too. We went over to Geyland to have supper and chit chat a little. Adrian picked Mabel from the disco and I followed his car and blardy hell, his car is fast de… My lao pok pok Nissan lose many lamp poles. So sad… I am gonna throw my lao pok pok away… Nevermind, I am waiting patiently for my new car to come, then I will zeng and make it vroom vroom… Got home at 6+am and it is no joke, even my bones are aching from all the dancing. Limpei is old already… Cham… Start of a new chapter Today is the start of my first day at school. I am finally getting my lazy ass down to school to upgrade myself. Taking the Advance Diploma in Business now, majoring in nothing as I still am not too sure what I want to specialise in. Maybe after this coourse I would know? Anyway, I am still young, I can upgrade myself along the way.   Met 2 new friends at school, Mya and Zoey. Zoey sat beside me and I initiated a conversation with her as my motto today is “Make New Friends And Find Project Group Day”. I really want to find group mates to share the burden of doing my project with. Doing projects all alone is very miserable, nobody to discuss problems with, nobody to gossip with… 几可怜一下咯… I admit, I am talkative de lor…   I met Zya during break time. Both of us took the lift down to smoke and I intiated a conversation with her too as I thought Zoey and me can join her group. Turns out, there’s only her partner and her so Zoey and I CAN join their group. Yeah! Now we can divide our burden into 4 parts.   Today’s class is still ok. It is Strategic HRM and the lecturer turns out to be the same as my lecturer when I was taking Diploma in Business in PSB Academy last year. As usual, she would blabber on about herself and her personal life, straying away too much from the topics.   I still HEART my Econs lecturer when I was taking Diploma. She is damn good de~ But forgot what is her name already… I think my Econs was so good was also due to her, she made the whole lesson so interesting, filling in details and giving us updates on the world happenings. Hope that she would be the same lecturer for my Econ this time.   I must work hard, and strive towards my goal. I must achieve my cert 顺顺利利 with no obstacles. Must work double hard and show people that 我是行地~… Sore throat Wed @ Dragonfly Thurs @ KTV with my ex schoolmates Fri @ Mount Faber with Mabel   I am officially down with sore throat… Terrible… Looking for BUMS! Sing sing sing I want to sing sing sing sing… I have this insatiable urge to SING!!!! Jaded Couldn’t get to sleep last night… Down a couple of beers, spoke to The Boyfriend over the phone, watched some TV and I still couldn’t get to sleep. Tossed and turned in bed for a very long while, trying to find my ‘comfortable spot’ but no matter what I did or how I try, I just couldn’t find it. I was drifting in and out of sleep, bothered by my family issues. I am very angry with my mother, and I am not gonna talk to her for the longest time. My mother has depression, and on and off, like the season, she will try to commit suicide, which to me, is just attention seeking. I don’t think she really wants to die, she just wants us to fuss over her. And I am so pissed off over it. Her depression is getting on to me, and I am started to feel negative. I just don’t understand, why can’t a grown up, act like a grown up. I am so tired… I will put my focus on my work, and try to stay away from home as much as possible. I just don’t feel like going back to see her. I don’t feel like entertaining her nonsence. I don’t even feel like seeing her. YET I know if 1 day I shall lose her, I am gonna be miserable. And I probably will regret it. But now, my anger has taken control over me. So I shall avoid seeing her to prevent any confrontation.

Woke up only to see The Boyfriend sleeping soundly beside me and I thought I was paranoid, and made myself go back to sleep. Only to be shaken awake by another nightmare. Thoughout the night, I just kept falling into more and more nightmares. Am I just paranoid or what…? Well, today is the 1st day, so I shall meet my friends for a short dinner or something and I will get my ass home early. Will be praying with my colleagues below my office for 顺顺利利. All my dear friends, so get your asses home early during this month okok… The car I am getting I think everyone is excited over the car I bought, since I kept saying that I do not like it… I Bought The Toyota AXIO!!!! Auntie right!!!     I am a poor poor girl who couldn’t afford to pay the insurance of a 2L car lor… Damn it! My insurance cost 4K if I were to get a Tuscani so this is probably something more affordable for me. I will be getting my new car in September and I am already thinking, what can I do to it? Hmmmm… Angel eyes headlamps? Spoiler? Body Kit? Spray pink? So many things on my mind… But it is okay, will slowly slowly mod my car until something I like… But right now, must start saving first, cos I am really considering airbrushing my car… Maybe paint some pictures on it… But will be damn dangerous… If I offend somebody on the road, they’ll be able to recognise my car straight away… So, shall see how it goes… I still have much time on hand to think about what I can do… Kit’s Darling Birthday Celebration At Balaclava Rushed to IMM and collected the birthday cake before leaving my car at home. The Boyfriend came over and picked me up before we went over to Balaclava where Celine and Mabel is sitting at Starbucks waiting for me to arrive. They were complaining that it is too crowded and they didn’t want to stay inside. I never expected that Balaclava would be crowded on a Friday night as I went there some time back during a Friday, and it is empty like a ghost town.   Kit managed to secure a table so Celine, Mabel, The Boyfriend and me went over to their table. Mabel and Celine left shortly as they weren’t feeling too well. Felt kind of bad that they waited for me for such a long time and they left so shortly. Well, will catch up with them another better time.   Kit ordered a bottle or Martel and initially, the pace was really slow. Everyone was drinking very little and conversation were few. Slowly, we started opening up and making small conversations. I do not know her friends but it is ok, I am a chatty box who can talk to anybody so I didn’t mind about it. Besides, they were great people too. Friendly bunch of pals of hers.           Kit and her sec sch classmate gossiping in a corner           The Boyfriend went out for a walk while I stayed in Balaclava with them. We started drinking more and everyone started taking out their cameras and snapping away. Sibey typical Singaporean girls lors… Can you imagine, every single girl sitting on the table has their own camera and everyone started snapping away. Think we took quite a fair bit of pictures by the end of the night.           The Birthday Girl and Me in a very unglam picture. Every time I am with Kit, she would be sure to request some unorthodox picture to be taken. This picture is also dedicated to Daphne (I am not so picture perfect afterall *giggles*)     The Boyfriend returned from his walk and after smoking, we went into the table where we did more photo taking. Kit calls The Boyfriend her best friend and whenever you hear them talking, you would definitely burst into fits of laughter as they are damn good at making fun of each other.   We used to meet for dinner with Kit at a coffeeshop near her place as that place sells really cheap and good 煮炒. Or, I would meet her alone and we would hang out around the neighbourhood. She is really a good friend. No matter when you call or what happens, she would be there for you.       Me, Kit & The Boyfriend ( I was holding her legs up thus you could see both of us laughing damn heartily)             More of Kit and me, doing the self taken portrait. Between, I am wearing my favourite blouse from BeBe which I just bought. Love it to bits!             Kit and Me (She looks particularly skinny beside me. Nabeyz…)           Then, we started getting bored and Kit suggested playing games. Kit’s friend pit against The Boyfriend and we had great fun watching them pit against each other. The Boyfriend was exclaiming that he finally found someone who is able to break his ‘magic’ and thus, he continued playing ‘directions’ with that lady.   Then, we started playing group ‘five-ten’ and it was hilarious, everyone was laughing and shouting during the game. A pity that I didn’t take any pictures of us playing the games.         The Boyfriend and Me trying to get a decent shot       Another try at it       Alan arrived and he started making fun of Kit. Think Balaclava is a place where people won’t hang out late as by close of 11pm, the place started to empty out. Usually drinking places will be places where people stay late but as I see it, it is not the case in Balaclava.   We took out the cake and sang a birthday song for Kit but as it is very noisy, nobody could hear us singing. As we were sitting just right in front of the band, the band members were very nice and sang a birthday song for Kit when they saw that she had a birthday cake.             Kit’s birthday cake. If people who follows my blog would find this cake familiar as I keep getting this cake. Well, it is tasty and not too expensive which makes it a great choice when it comes to making choices for a birthday cake. Actually, I ordered a cake from The Pattiseur but something cropped up in the office and I wasn’t able to make it down in time to collect the cake. So, immediately, I thought of Four Leaves and called to order this cake. Which is very nice too.           Kit taking pictures with her cake             Alan lighting up the candles for Kit.             Happy Birthday My Dear Girl!!!!       The Boyfriend sent Kit home before we make our way down to the HongKong Cafe at Siglap for supper. I am not very hungry but tempted by the food, I ordered the beef horfun with egg which is yucky, I would never NEVER order that again.    After supper, The Boyfriend send Alan home and we made our long journey home. I was so tired, I was sleeping throughout in the car and upon reaching home, i bathed and dropped dead on the bed. Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:39:00 +0000 I didn’t get to buy my Tuscani… Instead, I bought a car which I hated so much… Sigh… Let me dwell in my misery with the car which I do not like… Sigh Sigh Sigh Sigh Job Opening If you have any friends interested in a Marketing Assistant or Executive post, pls get them to email:   peiling@apsgroup.com.sg   - Admin based with good PC skills - Conversant English and Mandrin - Pleasant personality - Initiative with interest in project sales development - Willing to learn and grow with company - 5 day work week - Min.

Catching up on old times Ning nabey!!!! Why so many ERPs ah? Limpei drive from Chin Swee to Suntec, kanna $4 worth of ERP leh… My heart is bleeding man… But 1 thing is for sure, after the ERP is up, really lesser cars on the road lor. But is knn 贵 lor… Now hor, having a car is really not easy leh… Paying with my arms and legs (learn this sentence from Daphne). In future, it is gonna cost 2 arms and 2 legs… Siao liao lah…   Went down to Suntec to meet Mabel and Adrian. They were supposed to be having a 甜密密 time but I went and be extra. Anyway, they are nice folks. Adrian is Ah Beng, but a nice Ah Beng… When we were at Levi’s, and Mabel is trying a pair of jeans, the shop was playing techno…   As Adrian stood there, he began snapping his fingers and swaying his head to the music, basking himself in the music. Is damn funny. I laughed really loudly and told him he is very Beng…   Dinner was at Muthu’s Curry @ Suntec City with Mabel and Adrian. We had a fun time, eating and sweating the curry which is damn spicy. We couldn’t finish the food though but overall, I find their food still not as nice as Lagnaa Barefoot Dining. Sure hope to go back there some day…   Laze at Balaclava for a while and we chat about anything under the sky. Bala is quite empty on a Thursday night. Heard from Mabel that on Wednesdays, it is packed to the brim, with shipping people all net-working with each other. Mabel even told me that, yesterday was so packed, that there ain’t even a space to stand around.   I made my way to Boat Quay as Justin Wu told me he actually started a pub business and wanted us to go down to take a look. Yean Ru, MeiZhen and Peter went too. I was the earliest to arrive and Justin and me started catching up with each other. Been like 4 or 5 years since we last saw each other.   Meizhen came shortly and we began catching up with each other. She is already a mother of two lor… But she still looks the same as back in Sec Sch Days… She takes care of her figure very well and her hubby really dotes on her. A typical Tai Tai lor…   Peter came afterwards and he brought along his whole group of friends to support the place. Hopefully inturn, they will bring more friends to that place cos it really is very tough runnning a night joint nowadays, too much competition and having a place in Boat Quay is having a business right in the centre of competition.   Yean Ru came really late and I was about to go as I am really damn freaking tired. Turns out, she is now working in 1 of my customer’s office. Such a small world. I didn’t catch up too much with her as I am all ready to go and the place is damn noisy.   I slowly made my way home and kept thinking about the car that I am going to get. I will get a Tuscani, but still, my love is Integra… Sian!   What I am going to get           What I really want Bling Bling Shoes!!! Daphne is going to try on her wedding gown next week and now, she is on red alert, as she have not bought her wedding shoes to go with the gown yet!!!   So, we arranged to meet up and today shall be our shopping day. Being the cheapo us, we parked at the open carpark beside Wheelock Place which is definitely cheaper than parking in any of the shopping centres in Orchard. She arrived early and had to wait for me (as usual) without complaining. She is damn patience 1 lah…   When I finally managed to make it out of office, it was already close ot 8pm. We quickly make our way to Isetan Lido and started shopping around for shoes. I saw a couple of pairs that I like but AUNTIE Daphne kept nagging at me, telling me not to buy cos I have to save money to buy car. So, I got influenced, and I didn’t buy any shoes.   Daphne saw this pair of shoes that she really like from GUESS but they didn’t have it in her size and it is damn glam de lor… Silver strappy 3½inch heels with metal butterflies. Damn Glam De~ I told her, she can do lap dancing in it even!!! *giggles*   We went on to Takashimaya in search of that pair which she like it very much too. Finally, when we madeit to GUESS Boutique, she couldn’t find any pair that she fancy and I could sense the moral hitting low so I made her, walk to the shopping centre with me to look at Lucieno Shoes.   When I brought her over, I informed her that the shoes are a little pricey but buying a pair of wedding shoes, is a once in a lifetime thing, so we shouldn’t scrimp on it. We went in search of other brands but still, nothing is as GLAM as Lucieno shoes and they are having a sale so I got a few pairs and got Daphne to try it on.   Lucieno shoes are all damn nice de~ But damn expensive de~ But I is like very much de~   Daphne’s Bling Bling Shoes       I almost wanted to get myself a pair but after pondering for a long while, I decided not to as I am planning to change my car and that would involve a lot of money and I am a poor poor girl with no money. So, I am forced to control myself and not to get myself any glamorous heels. Never mind, I WILL BE BACK!   Mabel came shortly but she went around and look at the perfume as Daphne and I busied ourselves with shoes. I like all the blings blings and extravagant shoes at Takashimaya. Please give me a gold hill for birthday this year so I can buy all the shoes!!   Daphne bought the pair which is damn bling bling and glamorous and I told her, she have the nicest pair of shoes on earth lor. Cos I feel that pair is really for her, is damn nice de! I is envious de!   We walked over to Wheelock Place, Harry’s Bar and have our dinner. Everyone is starving so when the food arrive, everyone began ATTACKING the food, nobody’s hand is free lor. Damn gluttony woman we are… We sat down and began our female talk which is damn nice. I love it! I love Daphne! I love Mable!   Before long, Adrian came and picked Mabel so we made our way home. I am still pondering… To get a 1st-hand LancerEX, or a 2nd-hand Integra? I like Integra but, I BO LUI… Why am I so poor? Daphne Darling Birthday It is Daphne’s birthday celebration and we decided to go to the beach for a mini celebration. Joanne, Tian, Alex and Daphne arrived around 4pm at Siloso beach. The Boyfriend and me are terribly late as we were just nuaing at home and fumbering with things. Today is my virgin try at doing fried noodles and I started screaming and jumping in the kitchen when my mother came in to help me. I have no idea that when the oil is hot, and you throw the noodles in, the oil will splatter and the noodles all stuck together. As I was frying the noodles, I sms Daphne and told her I am cooking and all of them have to say that it is nice, whether it actually is nice or not and she actually agreed. When we arrived, we took a while to find them as the beach are filled with people, and it is a damn huge place to be looking for a small group of people. I think the last time I went to Siloso Beach was months ago, with Patricia and girls to Cafe Del Mar. So, I got a little shock to know that there are so many people at the beach. The Boyfriend and me settled down as I started eating the food. Daphne prepared sushi and it is damn nice. She made these sushi rolls and Tian had to help me to cut it. It definitely taste better than those cheap Japanese Restaurant as she ain’t skimping on the fillings. Alex made tiramisu and I was surprised that it actually taste very nice. I told him my opinions and a little fine-tuning, I am sure his tiramisu is going to be a lady killer.       Daphne’s yummilicious Sushi           The early attendees - Daphne, Joanne & Tian We laze at the beach, eating and talking. Daphne brought along her dog, Nicole and she is a little bundle of endless energy. She just keeps running around and making friends with everybody. Damn cute lor. Alex is a animal abuser, he tied a balloon around her waist.           Evident that the poor little creature got a balloon as a float                 The little ball of energy             Daphne had to bring Nicole into the sea to swim, as well as to get the sand off her face whenever Nicole starts rubbing herself in the sand. As we were sitting there to talk, Daphne started telling us funny things about Alex.   Daphne and the group went to pick up Alex and when she saw Alex, standing below the block with his picnic basket, she started laughing as usually, only ladies would bring picnic baskets. When they arrived, they were discussing about the picnic mats that we would bring and they were guessing that I am going to bring a pink pokka dot mat. When Alex took out his mat, it is a blue pokka dot mat and everyone was laughing like siao.           He and his picnic basket       Then, Alex brought along balloons and started twisting and turning the balloons to make it into all sorts of shapes for us. I jokingly asked him, was he a part-time clown last time, twisting balloons and juggling all at the same time. The Boyfriend was commenting that he is very attentive, but we felt it only worked on the guys. Damn funny!   As it started to get dark, we made our way to Cool Deck, where they are having this Jazz Event. Damn ATAS lor… On the way to Cool Deck, Alex said that he wants to hold the leash of the dog, so that it can be a ‘babe magnet’. As we were walking, the first group he met was a 4 year old girl with her parents. The Boyfriend laughed and said if he had attracted the wrong ‘babe’. We sat at Cool Deck, where Ruth Ling and her friends are on the set. We had beer and some finger food but everyone was filled to the brim with the over-whelming amount of food earlier that we didn’t touch too much of it.             Jazz Event at Cool Deck             Joanne and Alex         Alex whipped out siren stick from his bag and we started laughing. Daphne kept saying he is gayish and when he even took out candles and candle holder, we almost fell off our chairs. How many man in this world actually brings along candles and candle holder to the beach. I can confirmed, he is a mommy boy!!! *giggles* Alex made this flower out of siren stick and everyone had fun posing and taking pictures with it. Daphne even KNIGHT Alex as “Sir Alex of Ang Mo Kio’, before changing her mind and LADIED him as ‘Lady Alex of Ang Mo Kio’ with the flower that is filled with water. The Boyfriend and me had a really good laugh over this. As I see it, it looks like she is using flower water to cast the evil spirits out of him rather than knighting/lady him.             Sir Alex Of Ang Mo Kio               Happy Daphne with her birthday present from Alex           The Boyfriend and Me         As The Boyfriend is a vegetarian and he couldn’t find any food in Sentosa, we made our way out for dinner. The Boyfriend is damn sweet. He planned to go get a cake for Daphne after dinner and we racked our head on where to get cake at such late hours.   After dinner, I smsed Joanne and we planned on how to trick Daphne to meet at a place after we get our cake. At the cake shop, I ran in and got the cake while The Boyfriend waited in the car for me. We rushed back to Vivocity and started liaising with Joanne on how to bring Daphne to Vivocity without her knowing.   Our plans worked and Daphne was brought to Vivocity, not knowing what surprise awaits her. Though it is just a birthday cake, and it doesn’t worth a lot, but The Boyfriend and me really went around looking for it. Light gift, heavy thoughts lah…   We did a short cutting cake session and went home. We didn’t want to delay too long at Vivo as the cake is a ice-cream cake, it would turn into milk shake lor…             Daphne and her birthday cake Not For Sale Some crazy fellow message me in friendster with the following context… Hi. There… Do you want to earn extra income? I am willing to pay you for your time….. Just for a date … Okie???? Thanks… Kenneth  Madness… What makes him think that I am for sale? Power Saturday The Boyfriend brought me to a vegetarian cafe in Chinatown serving very HIP vegetarian food. Reason I am saying it is hip as they actually do up the whole cafe like a western cafe, serving chinese and western vegetarian food. Think you can call it fusion food bah… We had good time, talking and eating, while reading the many reasons on the walls why people should be vegetarian. I am wearing FreshKon’s Alluring Eyes in black and I think it made my eyes look really dolly… I love it!! I have only tried the brown in the past as I thought black looks kinda weird but after wearing it, I thought it looks nice. Think I am going to get more of it. Best thing is, for lazy people like, it is monthly disposable, so I don’t even have to wash it… *kua Kua Kua* Me at the restaurant The Boyfriend dropped me off at Top One and he made his way. I am terribly late so I am made to down a glass of beer when I arrived. Tian, Daphne and Joanne were already singing their hearts out when I arrived.           TIan, the singer who is damn engrossed while singing…           The cheeky Daphne         Joanne & Daphne         Our messy table containing many drinks…           That’s us… Daphne & Faith           The bunch of ladies attendees… Alex arrived late and was made to drink many glasses. We sang and sang til it was 3 and The Boyfriend came to pick me home. Joanne couldn’t drive so we had supper as everyone sober up. Alex ran off from the table and Daphne went chasing after him. As it turns out, he was puking his stomach out by the side of the road. The Boyfriend and me are really tired so we went on our way home.       I was taking this picture and The Boyfriend laughed at me, saying that all the pictures I took in the car all looks the same. Deja Vu~~~                 The Boyfriend and me in the car Dempsey Night Picked Kelly from her office and we headed down to Dempsey for some gossiping session. She seems to be kind of down lately over her r/s but well, in life, we win some, we lose some. Depending on what you can take, and what you cannot take, you just have to compromise. We had the super yummy chicken wings and the terrible cheese(I am not a cheese lover so I am very biased against cheese). Kelly was saying that my gastric not very good, so must eat more cheese, is good for me. We had a good time, talking and eating and drinking. Chew came down to pick her, and amazingly, I could lead him all the way to Wine Network. Seems like I am a regular there lor. I can memorise the roads so well… *Kua Kua Kua* Early night for us since we have to work the next day, and I am truly so very tired… It is really nice, unwinding with friends after work, sipping wine and just senseless talking with no brains involved. I love senseless talking after work, gives my brain a break. The Boyfriend is back… Finally The Boyfriend is back from overseas, and I am so glad to see him. We had a long talk, a good talk, and we sorted out many things… Finally Here… Jumps in joy… It is finally here, after months of waiting!! 1 off the list, many more to go!!   Gathering at Joanne’s Place Nua around the house before making my lazy ass down to the salon to get my hair done. Uncle’s big boss is having a house-warming cum birthday party and my mother told me to be present so I better do something to my unruly hair before I go down if not sure throw their face… The hair sylist is an auntie who did my mother’s hair too and since she is cheap, so I won’t complaint too much. She did what I wanted but overall, it looks kinda messy lor. So different when I went to the salon at Raffles Place to get the same hairstyle done. My mother was telling me, the boss’s wife very ‘pantang’ (superstitious), so I better don’t wear black. Since she is pantang, so I shall go in full red. Wore my new dress for the first time and I really love it. That’s me, at home, ready to head out. The boss is really rich, and he just bought a bungalow. When we manage to find our way there, I got a shock. They actually hire people to come and build up a tentage, which cost them SGD$12000. And the food is damn delicious. They hired the Japanese chef to come, and they serve ONLY salmon belly sahimi, no salmon sashimi, sea urchin which is god-damn nice, unagi & some other stuffs. Heard that they paid SGD$10000 for the japanese food alone. Then there is the buffet, which I didn’t even get to try cos everyone was just rushing for it. There was an endless flow of Blue Nun Red & White wine, which I find ok only. This kind of wine is good for parties like this, but for slow drinking, think it is better to get a better quality wine. Sebastian and his girlfriend was busy entertaining themselves and The Boyfriend is overseas so I am alone. I got kinda bored and so, we didn’t stay too late. Made my way down to Joanne’s place since her parents are overseas so it is a girl’s night gathering at her place. Daphne and Tian was already there and they have started the Karaoke. It is a MANUAL karaoke where we have to search for the discs and play it in. Daphne was the KJ for the whole night. *giggles* We started singing lots of ‘obiang’ songs, songs from decades ago but we sure had lots of fun. As we were talking, I realised, that Tian is my hair-stylist from oens ago. Goodness me, Singapore is truly small. Imagine meeting my hair-stylist after so many years. All the girl’s that were present…           Joanne, Tian & Me (It was supposed to be a monkey face shot but I thought it was very unglam thus I didn’t want to do it)           Faith & Daphne         Daphne was so happy when she caught this candid shot of me… Luckily I didn’t look too unglam.       The kungfu master     After hours of singing and drinking, all of them got tired. I made my own way out of the house, down to Peter’s KTV. He had called me to say he got a KTV going on and I think it’s his birthday or something.   Around 3.35am+/-, at the cross junction of Balestier Lane and Balestier Road, behind the old police academy, my car stopped at the traffic light since it has turned red. I turned to see 1 motor-bike, 1 lane away from, also stopping at the traffic light. Before I even knew it, 1 lorry came from no-where, and hit the motor bike, making the bike flew to the other side of the road. I was in shocked and I was so afraid that the lorry would run off so I hit on my honk til the lorry stopped. I quickly drove my car to the side of the road and parked my car. I saw the biker lying down on the road, head facing down and oil from the bike was spilled everywhere. I was in total shock lor. I kept mumbling “shit shit shit, why like this?” I hate to see accidents like this. The biker is damn poor thing can. Obey traffic rules and stop at traffic light only to be langa by a lorry from no where. I was so afraid that the biker would die. I think I would be tramatised by this lor. A couple of passerbys came stopped and helped, 1 of them began to flip the man over but I quickly stopped him as he is not supposed to touch the man or the evidence til the police arrived. The police arrived within 10mins and the ambulance came within 15mins and carried the man to the hospital. I told the police that I only witness what happened and after taking down my particulars, the police told me I can make my way off. Is damn terrible de~ I went down to the KTV feeling damn heavy-hearted. Fearing what would happen to the biker. I stayed only for a short while, and I made my way home, still thinking about the biker, worried about his safety. *Prays that he will be alive and heal soon. God will bless him* More singing… The clumsy girl dropped her hand phone into her toilet bowl. and she made her way to get it before coming down to Bugis to meet me. The clumsy girl is none other than Daphne. *chuckles*Poor thing lah. I don’t know how I will react should I drop my phone into the toilet bowl… We had a good dinner, MOS BURGER in fact. I haven’t had that for ages. When The Boyfriend ain’t vegetarian, we seldom take fast food. Now that he is a vegetarian, needless to say, it is even more out of reach. Which is why you need friends to hang out and makan with. We talked about many stuffs over dinner. Our opinions, our out look on life, our beliefs and our childhood. Daphne and me weren’t very close back then. I had a ex who dumped me for her. I don’t think I hate her, I think I admire her quite a fair bit. She is very true to herself, a bit tom boyish but those really 讲义气 friends lah… We usually converse over MSN and it is only these couple of days that we hanged out together and became so close. She is nice, she understands when I try to tell her something. Not judging me before I am even done with my sentences. So, our talk was long, and I felt so much better after talking to her. She is quite crappy, but sensible also. She can give good advices which is kinda 老土 but still, it makes sense lah… After our girls talk, we head over to TopOne and continued our singing session. Our list of songs was endless. We just kept going on and on and on. Joanne arrived much later since she had a meeting going on til late. When she finally arrived, she got a phone call and had to rush back to office. She is a banker and seems that life as a banker is very hectic too. Poor girl. While Joanne is away, Daphne and me continue our concert and kept singing and singing. She always have all these little little actions that will make you burst into laughter, which is good, cos she makes me feel happy.         Finally Joanne came back, and I was very tired already. Joanne and Daphne continue their ‘concert’ as I sat in a corner to relax. I couldn’t get my mind off many things, so many possibilities, so many fears, so many things bothering me.   The 3 woman who kept singing and singing…     When the girls were done, we were a little hungry and I reckon the nearest would be to go somewhere near for dinner so I told them about this famous pig’s organ soup near Eminent Plaza and we made our way there. I told them I have a GPS so they can follow my car but my dear GPS actually took 5mins to scan for my location so we got a little lost initially. Called Daphne and she say to follow her car but when suddenly mu GPS showed the signal, ready to go, I quickly over take her car and lead them there. It is amazing de~ 3 girls driving 3 cars. We were kinda worried about parking initially as getting 3 lots together is not a small issue. Luckily when we gt there, just nice, there were 3 lots available. So nice… We had our supper and I saw that those old man at the coffee-shop brought along those China Girls and sit with them. The damn uncles kept looking at me which makes me feel so uncomfortable. Can’t the government do something about it? I feel the streets are littered with Prostitutes. Not that all China Girls are Prostitutes but just go and walk along Geylang then you’ll know what I mean… As we walked back to the car, we passed by this Chinese temple and I went in to pay my respect cos I remember reading or hearing from somewhere that passing by temples, just offer a basic respect, that is very good for us. KTV Night Told Daphne that I have this irresistable urge to have something realy spicy and soupy, which is actually 麻辣火锅, and she called her friend and accompanied me for it. Such a friend lor… She was supposed to be shopping for her wedding shoes but she changed her plans just to go makan the spicy hotpot with me. I is sibey happy de~ Daphne brought Jasmine along and the 3 of us began our feasting on the hotpot. The soup is spicy yet nice enough to tingle our senses. Daphne don’t take spicy so it is only Jasmine and me who keeps going for the spicy hotpot. We had a good time, talking and bitching and eating. After dinner, we have no where to go thus we thought it would be good to sing some songs to soothe ourselves. I told them that I saw this new KTV which is at Peck Seah Street itself and the girls thought we can just walk over and give it a try. The KTV is call TopOne and it is only SGD$25 per person, for 5hours and you have free flow of non-alcoholic beverage. Since it is a Thursday night, we weren’t planning for any alcohol either and we went ahead for it, considering the fact that you get free flow of drinks.     Daphne, Jasmine and Yours Truly       Picture Perfect (as quoted by Daphne)   We didn’t stay too late as Daphne and me is working tomorrow. I made my way home, a long drive, but I used it to sort out some thoughts in my mind. Bala Night Out Work as usual, is busy… But I did manage to make my way out of the office by 7.30pm. I love my job, so no complaints about leaving late. Though sometimes I do wish, that I could leave office earlier to meet up with friends or to spend more time with The Boyfriend. He’s quite poor thing actually, always waiting at home for me to knock off and to bring dinner back for him. On days when I am even busier, he have to wait til 10pm for his dinner to be on his table. Went down to Balaclava and met up with Mabel. On Wednesday nights, it is the unofficial “Shipping Night”. People from all the different shipping lines will just gather here and PR and mingle and collect namecards. It is a MUST for sales to do it, as it is easier getting somebody to help you, when they can put a face to your name. I am no longer in shipping, but I am just there as Mabel is going and I thought it would be a good catch-up session for us. Besides, The Boyfriend is far away in Genting and he has turned off his handphone. When he is around, I took him for granted and kept complaining about him. Now that he is away, suddenly, I feel this pinch and I realised I am just so used to him. *sigh* Guess that is human nature. We linger for a while in Balaclava and I went home early since I am feeling tired and Adrian came down to pick Mabel. Mabel has this fantastic boyfriend who is just so tolerant of her. Lucky girl lor… Lack of commitment There are some people in this world, who never meant what they say. They will always come to work, doing the wrong things, and when you spot their mistakes, they will throw their temper at you. And they will promise to give you a project on time, and they never did. Then they start promising you, that they will work hard, to fulful their promises. And you realise that it is all empty promises. Then they will tell you, “give me the weekend to do it, I will give it to you on Monday morning”. And they NEVER did. I am very tired of this shit. There is no work commitment on her part. I am planning to report to the higher management if she continues this way for the next 7 days. We shall see. I don’t even feel like talking to her. She lacks of self-discipline. Lacks of initiative. Lacks of the willingness to contribute something worthy.
