Busy...Busy...Busy

2006-05-29T16:21:00.000+08:00

Caught MI3, Da Vinci Code & X-Men over the past 2 weekends...well, these movies are not what I would opt to watch but since Dearie likes it and wanna watch it then no choice lor..It wouldn't kill to watch a movie that your loved ones like, rite?? But was a torture sitting in the theatre for 150minutes watching the "Da Vinci". I even dozed off a few times. Haha.... The next movie that I wanna watch this coming weekend is "The Nun". I simply love this type of thrilling, suspense & horror type of movie. Keke...Hopefully time permits me to do so....cos' Dearie's schedule for this week is damn packed with meet up with camp mates, dinner with a Japanese business associate, have to attend an old acquaintance's bachelor's nite...golfing...etc. Wonder if he got time watch the show with me

Met up with the gals on last Monday @ Bugis. Was a meet up to discuss some strategies to tackle the guys' "gatecrashing" on Rachel's big day, which is abt 2weeks away from now. We had alot of fun putting ideas together. Karen Sis even suggested some 10 ancient way of torturing the groom & his "brothers". The groom-to-be Gilbert kindda panicked and even MMS his wifey a photo of us @ Breko. That sent us in a state of frenzy cos we had no idea where he was. We were worried our plot was being overheard and will be ruined. Hence, we kept the paper safely in the bag and minimise our volume. Was such fun that nite.... friday was a meet up with an old acquaintance for some shopping. There were quite a massive crowd cos' was the 1st day of the GSS. Managed to get some things from the sale this time round...

Saturday was to Defu Lane for their crabs before X-Men. Since it was so near to Karen's house, we met up @ the S11 for coffee. Boy, was I glad to see my darling Charmaine. Keith was happily playing with Charmaine and haha...Charmaine for the 1st time rejected having her photos taken with Keith. Sunday was kindda special cos we didn't head down to town. Dearie, Keith & myself went to Bishan and hung out the entire day instead. The 3 of us went for foot reflex. Dearie opted for both foot reflex and shoulder & back massage. Was quite painful for certain parts of my feet that he massaged on. Tears simply rolled down. I cant endure it...haha. Nonetheless was quite a good but yet "painful" experience. Whilst waiting for Dearie to complete his massage, Keith & myself went shopping around Junction 8, hoping to get some things from the sale but unfortunately we didnt. After which we went Partyworld KTV @ Bishan CC. Goodness, that KTV is so run-down compared to its other branches in town. It doesn't allow smoking in the room as it's within the community centre. The remote controller for selecting of songs seems to be cranky, the television screen is not those flat screen type. Well, it will be my first and my last time there.

This week shall be more of a relaxing week for me, time to recuperate more. But have already planned for "The Nun", dye my hair & more shopping. June have always been a month where I tend to spend alot cos quite a few friends' bday fall in this month... :(

Some photos taken over the weeks:

Series Of Events...

2006-05-19T15:13:00.000+08:00

Schedule was pretty packed last week with heaps of programmes and were tiring activities. Haha...played overnite mahjong on both Thursday and Saturday nite. Won on both occassions. Hoho...Anyway, was off to Vanilla Pod Restaurant with Dearie & Keith on last Saturday nite for our dinner. It's a pretty small restaurant located near the Mandai Zoo and was only a short 15 minutes from Dearie's house. There was a nice orchid garden just beside the restaurant but the air-con within was too cold hence the glass panels were all fogged up. Thus, couldn't really admire the scenery out there.

However, the overall ambience wasn't too bad but there wasn't much variety of food and that the portion was small. Dearie & myself being beef lovers ordered 2 different types of beef steaks whilst Keith had some seabass. Afterwhich was some desserts and I must say Keith being the ever adventurous type of person (only when it comes to food), had the specialty dessert which I cant rem the name but it had an edible orchid flower in it. Well, I prefer the norm and had the brownie with ice-cream, which I love it!! The bill came up to a hefty amount of almost $200. **Eyes-Wided-Open**

Afterwhich leaving Vanilla Pod with huge holes burnt in our pockets, we drove on down to Bishan for the movie "Poseidon". Was a pretty short movie but I did enjoy it nonetheless. The ship looked so gorgeous and HUGE. Heard it was mainly animation and some 3D effects and if its true, it's simply thumbs-up for the flim-maker and its fellow crew. It looked so real. There was 1 scene which kindda touched me, it was the dad, I think named "Robert" who sacrificed himself for his daughter. He dived underwater to switch off the power for the propellers even though he knew he couldn't hold his breath for that long. All done was with only 1 purpose..for the daughter to get out of the ship safely. But after watching this movie, I started to develop a kind of phobia to go star cruise. It's some type of "After-Poseidon" effect getting into my little head.

After Poseidon, we went back to dearie's house to play mahjong and the session only ended around 7+am on early Sunday morning. Goodness, had only 4 hours of sleep and had to get ready for Mother's day luncheon with Dearie's family. Ate at Peach Garden along Thomson Road. Dim Sum was good and the lady boss was busy serving together with her fellow staff. She is a really friendly person and wore a smile throughout. But my advice is remember to make a table reservation before going cos' it always damn packed. But heard frm the lady boss that there's another outlet at Novena. Shall try dat branch next time. Oh ya, the dessert Black Gultinous Rice In Coconut taste marvelous!!!

Yesterday was off to try Pagi-Sore. An indonesian cuisine along Telok Ayer Street, which I heard was good and popular. The guys were kind enough to order 3 non-spicy dishes for me knowing that I cant take spicy food, whilst the guys tucked into dishes like Ikan Otah, Sotong Pedas and Ayam Bali....Anyway, hope u guys like my recommendation. Weekend is here again...this time round, shall go try some Hokkaido imported ramen and korean food over the weekend...and also to watch MI3(I noe I'm abit out-dated..haha) & Da Vinci Code. Heard all the rave &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; protest about this movie going on worldwide. Shall go and see.... :) which means no mahjong this week. Think the neighbours will be grateful to us. Keke...

I'm Back After MIA For Weeks...

2006-05-10T13:25:00.000+08:00

This entry will be a consolidated version of my recent happenings. Firstly is the clubbing session @ B-One on the 29th April @ International Building. Met up with some of my friends for BK for dinner before heading towards our clubbing session. My beloved Sherrie & Karen Sis dun wanna eat with me. They met up for MacDonalds on their own. Sob Sob. We went in quite early and the crowd wasn't in yet so was abit boring. The live band started playing only around 11pm and the crowd started pouring in then. The gals shared a bottle of Absolute Vodka whilst the guys shared a bottle of Martell. The live band there was quite alright with 2 cute Stanley performing on stage. The performers can sing quite well. Karen & Evelyn had their eyes on David instead for the entire night. We had lotsa fun that nite and only left for home close to 530am. Havent partied till so late before. Was already 6am when I reached home. Damn exhausted so hit my lovely pillow soon after. 30th April was down to PartyWorld with Gilbert, Rachel, Keith, Dearie & myself. Am into singing now and is practising damn hard to sing some songs. Haha...We sung frm 7pm to 11pm and was off to Jalan Kayu for our late night dinner.

The following week was equally fun-filled, with Wednesday playing 1 session of mahjong and friday was to Chomp Chomp for dinner followed by Grapevine to chill out. We were caught in the massive jam along Upper Serangoon Road cos' of the Rally held by the Workers' Party @ the Serangoon Stadium. Gosh, the crowd and the traffic was horrendous. All cars were moving like a snail. After being stuck in the jam for some time, we managed to reach our destination but was already close to 11pm. The Grapevine cafe was a rather small one, with 3 different areas. 1 was the outdoor, another was an indoor air-coned non-smoking section whilst the 3rd is another air-coned smoking section with a pool table. We managed to find a seat in the latter. Though Dearie commented that it was a normal cafe but I sort of enjoyed the overall ambience there. We played some poker game with Gilbert playing the role of a casino banker dealing us the cards. We played BlackJack in casino-style & rules. Gilbert, U still owe me "$4K". Haha....Gilbert & Dearie challenged 1 of the female player there who managed to "thrash" all the guys who challenged her pool. These 2 guys are no exception. They lost!! She is simply stylo and is full of composure & confidence when she play. Quite admire her for her style & skills. Wish I was dat good as well.

6th Of May was Election Day. Both Dearie & myself need to vote so I drove Dearie to his polling station to vote and then drove home to get my polling card to vote as well. This is my 2nd time to vote (Opps..this sort of reveal my age liao..haha). I walked over to the school near my home to vote and then quickly drove on down to Cineleisure cos we wanna watch "8 Below" @ 5pm. Made it 5 minutes earlier but alas tickets were sold out. Was pretty disappointed cos' I wanna catch this show badly...sigh so instead we sat down with Keith @ Rocky for some refreshments instead. After that we went shopping and dearie bought another suit for his upcoming Germany trip later part of this year. Managed to dissuade him out of the idea to buy a HUGO suit. Hehe. This brand is good enough and most importantly is this suit is so much affordable unlike his previous suit that he bought @ Zegna.

Caught 2 movies after our shopping spree, namly "When a stranger calls" & "Election 2".....havent been going for movies lately hence we cramped up all that we wanna watch in a day. Wasnt tiring cos both movies were pretty short. Anyway, we are used to watch 2 movies in a row. I loved the 1st movie cos' it was damn thrilling and exciting, with both Keith & myself "jumping" up in fright to certain scenes, according to my dearie as he's seated right in between us. Haha..scaredy cats we are!! Was a lovely house shown in the movie but the thought of the house with all window panels kindda freaks me. No privacy and its too "OPEN". So if you peeps have yet to watch it, should go for this movie when you are free.

Election 2 on the other hand was a little violent but frankly speaking, its nicer than Election. Or probably bcos' I didnt pinned much hope cos' I dun like Election. But Election 2 is not as confusing and Louis Koo is so damn good looking and full of charisma. Another idol of mine in the show died tragically..sob sob. In a nutshell, the show was a little slow in the intial but turned quite alright when Louis Koo tried ways to become the ultimate "leader" of the gang. He can do some unexpected things without batting an eyelid. Scary!! Gilbert & Rachel joined us around 1am and we had a cuppa tea @ Coffee Club. Sunday the 7th was rather boring day cos' Dearie went to Orchard to meet his HK business counterparts. So I lazed around at home.

This week will be quite a tight schedule week as well as it meant another long weekend for the working class. But not for dearie as he needs to work on Saturday. I will be playing mahjong, going for the long-awaited Poseidon & some prawning. Maybe if time permits, maybe KTV again. Haha.... So wat's up tonite?? I'll be going Toa Payoh to get myself some new lenses and to go for the famous Kuey Chap nearby...Yummy!

Enjoy the weekend & Cya next week!! :)

My Weekend Updates....

2006-04-26T17:38:00.000+08:00

No photos for this entry as I have been quite lazy in taking photos lately. Haha...though I brought along my digi last saturday for our Karaoke session but I didn't take it out. Relied on Eve to do all the photo taking so could only wait patiently for her to upload those pictures. Hopefully, it will be clear cos' according to her, those pic that we took previously @ Devils (taken by Sherrie, I think) were blurred.

Just a little update about my whereabouts for the week....last saturday nite was a karaoke singing session @ PartyWorld with my fellow friends. We sang for a good whole 4 hours but the girls were singing most of the times, while the guys were engaged in their private talk. Poor Rachel, lost her voice prior to the nite before so could only sit there and watch us sing. Guess, what was most enjoyable to me, was the chance to gather with my beloved friends and not the actual singing. Sunday was a relaxing day out for dearie & myself. Slept till early noon and was off to Swensons for our late lunch before walking over to Paragon for haircut and then later the evening, was off to PartyWorld with Keith for our own private singing session. Sung till 11pm then went for a late nite dinner. Though, it was just the 3 of us, but it was equally fun as we tried different songs by various singers. Keke..

Monday was a meet up with Victor, Rachel, Gilbert & Keith as organised by the latter. Met up @ Maggie Thai Food for our dinner. Sorry Pals, we were late again. You guys are simply marvellous, to have ordered non-spicy dishes for Rachel & myself, and also not forgetting to order my favourite scallops. Haha. I enjoyed the dinner. Thanks alot!! But sorry that you people got to bear with my red and sore eyes throughout the nite. Saw the doctor on Monday noon and was diagnosed as some form of allergic and infection of the eyes. Doctor told me to rest my eyes more and not to wear lenses for 2 weeks and he told me thank goodness that no damage of the cornea have been detected cos my eyes were so damn red. It looked simply scary. I dared not look into the mirror neither do I dared to look straight and hard into the eyes of the others. Was given 2 bottles of the eyedrops that I would need to apply for the entire month. So far, condition of my eyes seemed much better cos' I've been a good girl applying the eyedrops regularly and on time. Hopefully, I can wear my lenses for my upcoming clubbing session this Saturday. Just a nite wun kill (I hope). And hopefully the smoke in the pub itself wun worsen my condition. **Pray Hard** it won't!!!

Good Friday On Board Star Virgo :)

2006-04-20T16:38:00.000+08:00

Went on board star virgo last friday. Gilbert & Rachel drove on down to Dearie's house and from there, we went to Harbourfront in 1 car together with Dearie's parents. Upon checking in, we had a welcome drink at the main foyer @ deck 7 before going to our cabin. Deposited our bags and was off to dinner with Dearie's parents @ Noble House. My 1st visit to this chinese restaurant. Not too bad though. Had a super filling and sumptuous dinner with lobster, abalone and shark's fins.

After the dinner, we roam up to deck 12 for a breather, coffee and chit-chat. Took a couple of pics there. After which was off to "Oasis" - The Casino @ Deck 7. I reckon we spent a total of more than 20 hours @ Oasis during those 3 days on board. Haha...we really had a hard time "battling" against those casino croupiers. Heehee...in a nutshell, there were only 1 winner amongst us. Shall not mention names here.

Slept for about 6 hours for the 1st nite on board. Woke up with my left eye feeling sore and looking red. Something may be wrong with my left eye. Probably due to my contact lenses. So decided to give my eyes and face a break. No lenses, No MakeUp!! Pardon me, for the ugly pics. Keke...We proceeded to Deck 12 for our "brunch". After that, was off to Oasis again. HooooHooo....but dearie, rachel and myself went off for a little while to another deck to play Bingo. We made a blunder...thanks to me!! Cos' I was not given the proper instructions when I bought the tickets. I didn't know that the rulings have changed and assuming things are like before, told the rest to do what I think should be done. Luckily, the tickets aren't void and a blessing in disguise cos we ended up winning one of the prizes. The amount that we won was considered one of the top price money. Hence, we split among the 3 of us. 1st time to win Bingo on board Star Virgo. Damn happy.

Dinner was at Bella Vista on the 2nd nite. Gilbert and Dearie ordered a bottle of wine to share but probably I had too much to drink on Thursday nite hence the mention of wine, alcohol, beer, now really puts me off. The 3 of them drank it anyway. The food that they served is as usual not to my liking but I loved the ambience nonetheless. Basically, what Rachel, Gilbert and myself ate that nite was more like a vegetarian meal. Sucks...

Dearie's mum got us some tickets to view some performances by "Koong Brothers". We had no inkling as to who they are so went on there to see see look look. Goodness me, the performance was damn boring till I fell asleep shortly and only woke up when the lights came back on. Went on to the pool area to chill out then went back cabin to watch television. There were some interesting HK variety show that kept rachel & myself laughing thru' out. The rest of the nite was while away at the Oasis (AGAIN!!!!). Reached Harbourfront the next noon around 12pm.....

Devils Night Out

2006-04-17T17:02:00.000+08:00

Thursday nite was an all ladies clubbing session. Met up with Evelyn & Sherrie for dinner before going over to Devils. Went in close to 9pm but missed the happy hour free entry as it was the eve of a PH and that the happy hour ended @ 8pm. Too bad that we didn't noe that..so we paid the entry fee and went in. Rachel couldn't get a table for us as it was fully booked that nite so we tried ways to get a table but goodness, devils was so damn packed last thursday even @ 9pm. Some unknown guy near the bar counter heard that we can't get a table so he offered to share his table with us, telling us that his friends and him will go off shortly. We hesitated for awhile and decided to make do. But upon seated, 1 of the guys mentioned that they will go off around 10.30pm. Gosh, we had to share with them the table for about one and the half hour but really no choice. There were no available tables and no space for us to even stand around. Those guys later introduced themselves to us and even challenged us to some games. 1 of the guys even introduced us to a card game which we gals have never played before. Haha...didnt noe devils provided poker cards. The guys kept offering their coronas to us but we rejected for couple of times till we got no choice but to accept 1 bottle. 1 guy which I cant remember the name stood so close to myself and he even had his hand on my chair. Gosh, really can't stand him. Anyway, there were lotsa performances with heaps of pole dancers dancing that nite.

Before realising, it was already 10+pm and Karen came along. But the guys were still there. Felt conned. but nevermind, so long as we stay sober, I think we should still be fine to defend ourselves should anything happen. Rachel came around 11pm with 1 of her male colleague. We had fun playing games and drinking the bottle of Vodka. Proud sponsor of the Vodka is Mr Gilbert. He bought the Vodka the last time we were there and that it was oni 10% drank. Thanks Mr Gilbert!! The next one shall be on me. We gals finished up the remaining 90% last Thursday. Haha. Felt like puking towards the end, maybe I drank the corona too fast. Adjourned to Mhd Sultan for our late nite supper before going separate ways. Here's some photos taken that nite:

Another Clubbing Session Coming Up Soon..

2006-04-11T16:01:00.000+08:00

Was an enjoyable nite out at devils last Saturday. Didn't bring my camera that nite though but Evelyn did. So we took just a few shots with her camera. Eve, post up the pics soon leh..wanna see it. Everybody enjoyed themselves which I'm happy to see. I did too cos' we had such a fun time playing the "5-10" guessing game. Guess, it was bcos' it wasn't anyone's birthday so none of us actually "sabo" any. We just focused on playing and drinking as the nite tickled by. Evelyn and myself lost quite badly tat nite. Hence, we were made to drink glasses and glasses of Vodka & Jack Daniels. I was the poor soul that nite, being sabotaged by my beloved Sherrie, thus was asked to go on stage (thanks to rachel dear for getting such a good seat :( ). Damn embarrasing sia. We were such a rowdy bunch, making lotsa noise. People around us must be enduring us throughout the nite. Hoo...One thing to admit, the live band was good and I was simply mesmerized by the voice of the "Beanie" guy. It was my 1st time to be seated at the live band arena though I have been to devils for countless of times. But personally speaking, I prefer the area near the main stage as its more "happening", with lotsa gals on the platform dancing and more room for dancing.

Can't recall what time it was when we left cos' I was damn tipsy. Guess, I drank too hurriedly and too big a mouthful each time I lost and not forgetting 3 glasses full of JD Cola that I drank when Bronson guessed correctly the "Nil" & "All". Almost "killed" me. Luckily I can still endure it. Towards the end of our clubbing session, all I knew was how to make my way out to where the taxis were. I reckon we left around 2+am cos' Evelyn and Sherrie sent me a SMS respectively close to 3am.

The next clubbing session is coming up real soon...thursday nite shall be an all ladies clubbing session. But we ain't going to Babyface cos' Evelyn went there last Friday and the feedback from her was that it was pretty boring so we will stick to partying @ Devils again. Really looking forward. Wonder who will be the 1st to be knocked out this Thursday. Haha....

Something Interesting...

2006-04-10T18:00:00.005+08:00

Came across 2 links that I think are pretty interesting and would love to share with u peeps out there. My beloved sisters, I reckon the link on the various astrology signs will facinate u gals, and also I would also include some astrology readings of my other close friends as well..But this is a website that provides a different kind of interpretation..as in it reads the negative sides of the various horoscope instead. Sometimes, we've been reading up too much of the good things pertaining to the below-mentioned horoscopes, so it's high time we go against the norm....be prepared for the worst write up of our true selves

The Capricon Character: They are proud of the fact that they are the most opinionated and self-centred sign of the zodiac. And it's true because they are always right. Cruel Capricorn puts ambition ahead of personal relationships which can be jettisoned as needed. Bluntness is their middle name. They may sound interesting people but in reality they are old-fashioned and tiresome. They will live to a ripe old age just to spite everyone. Capricorns are hopeless comedians but make excellent undertakers, journalists and butchers.

The Capricorn Lover: Their voracious sexual appetite is almost as intense as their greed for power. They are stingey with their affections but generous with their critisism of you.
The year ahead for Capricon: Travel is high on the agenda this year but not only for pleasure. Just when you thought you could put your feet up along comes someone else with errands to run.

The Leo character: Leos have an irritating smug aloofness and deal with everyone in a high handed manner. To them everyone is inferior. They are the Prima Donnas of the zodiac, hog the limelight and expect praise and admiration from every quarter. They are masters at speaking in condescending tones and catty remarks. However these self-centred individuals can be easily deceived by flattery because they believe everything good said about them. They like to hurt small dogs. Their best career is as a royal personage but most end up managing people who they treat like serfs.
The Leo Lover: A Leo will love you if you're sycophantic and servile. If you want to keep their attention you must praise them continually. They enjoy punishing you.
The year ahead for Leo: If you're a Leo boss watch out for someone born in late March or early April who will try to force you to make a decision on June 9th. I suggest that you sack them.

The Sagittarius character: The Sagittarian want to be liked by everyone and will promise you the moon in order to get their own way. But they usually change their minds later and don't keep their many promises. 'Always put off till tomorrow what could be done today' is their motto. Sagittarians are always late. They take tremendous financial risks and are hated by bank managers. They are allergic to housework, they are also tactless and impulsive and can be a complete embarrassment at parties. Sagittarius are dreadful investment managers but make good bankrupts and trapeze artists.
The Sagittarius Lover: Sagittarians love the pursuit of love more than the act. The are incorrigible flirts and impulsively fall in love. They have an exaggerated self image foolishly believing that everyone finds them attractive.
The year ahead for Sagittarius: With Pluto travelling through your sign it will no longer feel that it's a dog's life. Enjoy yourself, have a drink, and party.

The Aquarius character: If you thought that Aquarians are kind, eccentric, humanitarians then you're wrong. Beneath their 'good humour' lurks an secret ambition to be famous and they'll betray anyone to get to the top. They love to hog the limelight. They are 'independent individuals', which is their excuse to be completely unattached emotionally. Their's is the only dry eye in the house when you go together to watch a sad or romantic movie. They are useless at most jobs unless it is part time or has celebrity status.
The Aquarian Lover: Expect problems. One minute they'll love you then the next they'll hate you. They hate domineering lovers who restrict their freedom almost as much as they despise the emotional weakling who is emotionally dependent on them.
The year ahead for aquarian: You may have trouble with Uranus. You'll be itching to try new things as this planet of the unpredictable releases its energies this year.

The Gemini character: Gemini will always get what they want because they are masters of deceit and flattery. They love being unfaithful and are always deliberately late for a date but expects you to be punctual. They turn being selfish into an art form and will make you spend all your money so they can save their own. Sometimes they can be good listeners but only because they want to hear every juicy bit of gossip that may prove useful to their schemes. Should not join the police force but make excellent actresses, salespeople, and pizza delivery boys.
The Gemini Lover: Gemini are so obsessed by their own good looks that they'll appear to not even notice you. And make sure you take your purse when you go out on that special date for it's certain that you'll be the one to foot the bill.
The year ahead for Gemini: To get on in your career you must delegate responsibility. Give the dull jobs to a Taurus and seduce a vulnerable Cancerian. Put yourself first this year.

The Cancer character: Cancerians are like and emotional pressure cooker without a valve. They get so stressed-out that their normally shy behaviour can turn on others like a sudden earthquake. They worry to the point of paranoia and feel that everyone either uses them or ignores them. Most have an Oedipus complex. They also love to moan about everyone and enjoy gloating when someone's done better in life than you have. They employ cunning tricks to get what they want. Cancerians make useless psychologists but are excellent patients. They are better off not having a career.
The Cancer Lover: If you enjoy being stressed then a Cancerian would make your perfect partner. They are so devote and loyal that it's sickening.
The year ahead for Cancerians: You must try to overcome the feeling that everyone uses you. A Christmas Eve announcement by an Aries brings a big festive surprise.

The Libra character: Libra has the symbol of the scales because this is the sign of the unbalanced individual. Things can never be perfect for as soon as the scales are even something comes along to upset the balance once again. To compensate for this insecurity Libran's are obsessed with the desire to be loved, admired and wanted. They are empty vessels in need of continual emotional replenishment. Their superficial easy going manner betrays a lack of strength and a deep set vanity. They also love to spend money. They are generally unemployable.
The Libra Lover: Librans are so fickle about the right perfume or after shave to wear, the right night clothes to put on and spend so long arranging the cushions just so that you'll be fast asleep before you can ever make love.to them. They are so vain that they believe that they have no faults.
The year ahead for Librans: With erratic Uranus influencing you throughout the year you're likely to be even more indecisive than usual. Do not trust yourself or you will be let down.

The 2nd link(URL: http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=21097) quizzes about which body parts you are attracted to. I did the test and the table below reflects my result. I am a "face-person", clocking a 75%. Wahh...Hahaa...My dear friend, upon trying, let me know which categories u gals belong to, alrite?? Hehe...

In High Spirits.... :)

2006-04-07T17:00:00.000+08:00

Been quite happy lately ever since I got things sorted out. Feel so carefree now. It also seemed that things have been looking quite good and promising for me. Hopefully I can announce the good news to friends out there who knows me by mid of next week. HeeHee, in the meantime, I shall keep u people in suspense.

Another 2 things that brightens up my day is the thought of going clubbing tomorrow with some of my beloved khakis. My last clubbing session was @ Devils' Bar for Gilbert & Benson's joint birthday celebration. I shall party hard and drink more tomorrow. Haha. Anyway, will try hard to make another 2 clubbing sessions come true(Keeping fingers cross), 1 with my beloved sisters to BabyFace and another will be with Mr. "XXX" to MOS. He promised to bring me there cos' I've always protested that he never bring me there.

The next thing is my Star Virgo trip next friday. Dearie's father for once allowed him to go despite the fact that he has to work on Saturdays. Hoho..this time is definitely an exception cos' the dad has made special arrangements for Dearie's brother to tend to the business so that both Dearie & himself can go on this cruise. Prehaps his dad knows that dearie have been slogging too hard lately and decided to "reward" him. Though it's only a weekend getaway cruise and that there no landing at any nearby countries, but I am contented enough. Contented becos' I get to spend quality time with my beloved. Also, with this trip we can R&R. Hopefully upon return, Dearie would have recharged his "battery' and can continue to battle the upcoming "war". Oh, and not forgetting my other 2 best khakis who will embark on this journey with us. Can't wait for next Friday :)

Ice Age 2 -- The MeltDown

2006-04-03T14:53:00.000+08:00

Watched Ice Age 2 last Saturday on the big screen @ The Cathay. But becos' of the fact that both Gilbert and ourselves were caught in the massive jam along Orchard Road, we didn't make it in time for our dinner. Had difficulties parking our cars as well cos' carparks belonging to both Plaza Singapura & The Cathay were full. Not to mention those few pathetic parallel parking lots outside The Cathay. Finally parked @ Paradize Center. No choice but to walk.

Basically the whole building is still under renovation though it stated on the website opened on when & when. Was a little disappointed cos' no shops were opened other than the cinema. There were quite a lot of people on the level 5 & 6 though it looked like pretty deserted on the main foyer and the lower levels. Quickly claimed our tickets and bought some hotdog combo meals and "Kachang Puteh" as our dinner. Goodness, our light dinner cost us about $30. Expensive hotdogs!!!

Were ushered into Grand Cathay. Probably this theatre is the biggest amongst all its other remaining 6-7 cinemas there. Staff were polite and efficient in ushering us. Theatres artistically decorated. Gave me the "Crazy Horse Paris" feel cos both places were decorated in red & gold. Ice Age 2 can be considered as quite an entertaining movie. Have always liked Ice Age and have been looking forward to their sequel. Personally speaking, I like Sid alot. It's Sooooo cute. There were a few scenes where its speech and action sent most of us in the theatres laughing our heads off.

Another character in this movie that most people liked is the saber-toothed squirrel. Just as in Ice Age, its been going thru all difficulties to chase after the nut. This sequel is no exception. Haha...it really went all out to get the nut this time. Not forgetting his attempt to get the "Golden Nut".

There's also two Possum "Crash & Eddie" in the movie that brings me back to good old days in my 1st Aussie home where there used to have quite a few Possums crawling on the wires above my unit or across the building. Someone whom I know liked Possum and he would always chase after them. In a nutshell, this sequel is just as good and entertaining as the 1st. Worth watching!!

Tuesday Nite Activity

2006-03-31T15:27:00.000+08:00

Drove over to Tampines Central to meet Mikez for a simple dinner. We met up only around 9pm and settled at Cafe Cartel. Waited so long for him till my stomach "complained" but that's the earliest time he can make it due to his other commitments. "RT" @ Bedok Camp. Haha. Think it's high time you need to shed off some fats and do more excercise, boy!! Anyway, it was my birthday treat for him as his birthday fall on Wednesday. Didn't really talk long cos' I have another appointment after that. Anyway boy, hope u have enjoyed ur day and my pressie - St. Louis Pork Ribs. Haha....

Walked over to Coffeebean to meet my beloved sister, Sherrie. She was there with Benson. Benson left shortly for us to have some girl's talk. We chatted till Coffeebean closed and we still feel like having a longer chat so Sherrie walked me to the car and I drove on down to "JB". Was a really heart-warming chatting session as we talked about various person in our lifes. I gave her some personal views, advices, and counseling. She did so too. In fact, gave me much more directions than what I gave her. Cos' I seem more troubled than she is. Hohoooo....

Sis, really appreciate all ur efforts and the time spent that nite to counsel me with regards to "XXX" issue. Dun worry, I have already moved on. No more further hesitation and regrets for everything is closely related to destiny. When we left "JB", it was already 4am. Sis, nice chat with you for about 6hours. Girls can surely talk for hours ah!! Think it must be our first that we girls alone hang out so late and chit chat. Keke....

Last Thing I Will Do For U -- Letting Go

2006-03-30T17:50:00.000+08:00

This write out is specially dedicated to a dear friend of mine, whom I deem as someone of utmost importance and somebody that can walk with me till old age, till death do us apart. But since things have to happen this way for the both of us and that our close ties are beyond salvaging. I reckon it's fate! I shall not go against will then. After much deliberation, I finally came to a conclusion - to let go. Pain in the heart it may be at this moment but to those who know me, dun worry about me cos' Jo is a brave gal and will soon brace up and face you people with a broad smile.

I know you'll be reading my blog and I reckon this will possibly be the last thing that I can do for you....all the best for your future endeavours!!

I held you close to me

Tried my very best to surround you

To protect you with all my care & concern

To keep you safe from harm & hurt

Little did I expect it wasn't what you needed

I do realize now that I can't contain you

That your happiness is best discovered without me

To set you free and to let you go

Is prehaps the hardest task I have ever done

So please do spread your wings and take off

fly high & far away from here

Do disappear quickly from my sight

Don't ever turn back

For if you do

You will only see a smile covering a broken-hearted

But I believe tears of sadness at this moment

Will soon be replaced by tears of joy

Cos' I know your happiness will soon follow

With my disappearance in your life

May your magical wings

Bring you to some magical places

Where all your dreams & wishes can be fulfilled

Be happy with whatever you proposed to do

May your anguish be released soon

May you find your true love one day

That is what I have always wanted for you

Your future will be kind, as time will soon speak for itself................

A song specially for you

A Nite Out @ Villa Bali

2006-03-29T16:39:00.000+08:00

Went off to Villa Bali on Sunday. Was an impromptu meeting cos' Dearie & I woke up late and didn't know whereabout to go to spend our Sunday noon. But it so happened that half way thru' our lunch at about 4+pm, Gilbert called and we thus decided to meet around 7+pm to rackie this place. Gilbert gave dearie some instructions beforehand cos' this place isn't visible from the main street. Villa Bali gives me the same "ulu ulu" feeling like the previous time that I went to "Wine Network". Alittle desolated.

Villa Bali indeed looked like how it sounds. The whole restaurant/cafe is set in a typical Balinese style, with lotsa lovely landscape & greeneries around the whole place. As we had a late lunch, we thus settled for a basket of their nice juicy wings and wedges. Had 2 juggies of beers shared between the 4 of us. Love the place quite alot, as the ambience really help to relax one's mind. Feel so peaceful and calm there. Will surely make another trip there.

Rachel & I had a fair bit of girl's talk amongst ourselves. We talked about our friends, her work, some personal lifestyle issues, etc. Whilst the guys kept to themselves, no laughters, no smiles, just some stern looking faces as they sat facing each other, discussing some serious work related issues (I reckon). Anyway, I felt I really had a nice chat with Rachel. Guess, this may be one of the few occassions or rather the first that we had such open heart talk. It sure feels good to have people who "click" with you and have topics to exchange about. The clock just tickled by...and we left the place close to midnite.

Photos Taken @ Villa Bali:

P.S: My dearie got other urgent commitment thus can't go for the tradeshow I mentioned, hence I can't go for my overseas "shopping" trip. A little disappointed but can't help it. At least I got another trip to look forward to with my 2 nice friends.

Gathering @ Settlers Cafe

2006-03-28T13:57:00.000+08:00

Soon after reaching home from JuanJuan's wedding on Saturday, I quickly changed into another outfit before meeting Dearie, Victor, Sandy, Keith, Rachel & Gilbert @ Great Eastern Building "HANS". I read that it was the biggest "HANS" outlet in Singapore. Indeed, it was a huge restuarant and that it served alot of other varieties of food unlike other "HANS" branches. After eating, we drove to Merchant Court to walk over to Settlers Cafe @ North Canal Road.

Was my 2nd visit to Settlers Cafe but our 1st to this outlet. Was a little cramped compared to the Holland Village outlet. But nonetheless, we had lotsa fun. Played 2 games for the whole 3 hours that we spent there. First game that we played was introduced by the staff. It was a warm up game for beginners. A simple card game that requires us to press the buzzer whenever a picture card strike 5 of the same fruit. Hence, for the good half hour or so, all of us stared hard at the bananas, strawberries, lemons, etc. Gilbert was the first to lose, followed by myself, dearie, victor, sandy. Rachel emerged as the overall winner despite initially Keith having much more cards than Rachel. Gal, u done us gals proud. Haha. All of us fought hard to press the buzzer, with some of us accidentally hitting each other's hand instead and some finger nail scratching incident :P

The next game we played was called "Zombies". Was picked by me cos we had 7pax and there were only a few games that allow more than 7pax to play together. Was a little difficut & confusing to understand the rules of the games though the staff patiently explained to us. Hence, he stood by us and guided us along the way. Think he stood with us for @ least 15minutes. What good service they provide!! Sandy was the winner as she was the 1st to move to the heli pad. Quite a few of us were so close to the heli pad but kanna sabotaged and were moved back to the starting point. Sob... I was asked to move back twice. So near yet so far. Some of us moved back to the starting point cos' lost the battles with the zombies. Haha. I had fun that nite but every nice thing must end....we walked back to the hotel to get our car around 1+am.

JuanJuan & Ricky's Holy Matrimony Ceremony

2006-03-27T17:02:00.000+08:00

Met the sisters gang on early saturday morning at Jurong West coffeeshop before heading to City Harvest Church. All of us with the exception of Evelyn woke up late so the 3 of us took cab down individually. Wow...we spent so much on cab fare. I spent $14+, Karen spent $17+ and Sherrie being the "champion" almost clock $20 on cab fare. Heart Pain.... :(

As we were about an hour early, we sat down at the coffeeshop and had our daily dose of morning coffee. Gossiped alittle and quickly walked over to the church. We were damn punctual, seated at the appointed time of 11.30am but the other guests were horribly late. The ceremony started around 10minutes after 12pm. JuanJuan wore a very sexy wedding gown, revealing most of her back. Quite like her gown. The ceremony were attended by alot of her friends and church mates. Felt alittle outcast cos' we aren't christians and knew nothing about the songs that they sang before the actual commencement of the ceremony. Everything went on smoothly, with the Pastor giving his speech, leaders, parents and guest giving the couple their blessings. Followed by lighting of the unity candles. All guest were treated to a buffet luncheon. The room was so packed with people that we had problem getting a table. Thank god, a nice guy gave up his table for us. Hehe.

Finished our food within 15minutes cos' we were being called up to the roof garden terrace to have our photos taken with the newly-weds. Afterwhich, all of us hang around the garden for awhile more to take our own pictures with the lovely flowers. Left City Harvest close to 2pm and we took a cab down to Jurong Point to continue our bitching. Settled at Coffeebean and afterwhich was off shopping at the mall cos' we seldom go Jurong Point as it's too far for all of us. I reckon this is the 1st time in our 10years plus friendship that all sisters shop at this mall together. Left the place around 5+pm with Evelyn & sherrie sharing a cab, whilst Karen, Charmaine & myself took another home.

Updates....

2006-03-21T15:01:00.000+08:00

Not much happenings for me for the month of March but rather I am plagued with quite afew unhappy incidents. 1 of the incident involving a dear sister of mine have been solved and everything's back to the same for the two of us. The other which I shall not mention names, hurt me quite alot and made me think alot throughout these 2 weeks plus. After much serious thoughts, I got it all sorted out and I know what I should do and how I should face this particular person. Now I feel I am as carefree as a bird. This issue no longer troubles me cos' if it still does, this person still holds a very important position in my heart but since it no longer is, all my troubles seemed so far away!! An another issue is that 1 of my beloved friend is sick. Too personal to be put on my blog. I shall just give him all my blessings and hopefully he will recover ASAP.

March is a tone-down period for me. Not much happenings as the previous two months. Instead, I spent my couple of weeks with lotsa mahjong sessions, meeting friends up for dinner and coffee, playing pool with my beloved friends, etc. Currently, planning for a clubbing session @ "Babyface". Hopefully will turn reality soon cos' all sisters haven't party together alone for a long time. Looking forward to it. Sisters, do something abt it leh...... :)

This saturday, I will be heading to a church wedding. It's a customary wedding of a long-time friend. She's much younger than me but getting married :( Haiz. How time flies man! When I first got to know her, she was still in secondary school but now becoming one's wife soon. I really look forward to seeing her dressed in her gown, shld be quite stunning. But personally I find church wedding abit boring. Also, the church that she's holding her wedding is so so so far away from my house. It will take me more than an hour journey. But then nvm, anything for friends. Anyway, I have some of my dearest khakis with me. Should be enough to kill all boredom.

Early this morning, my dearie just took flight off to Brunei for a business trip. It was a pretty much last-minute decision with him informing me only mid last week. Guess, my dearie will soon turned into a "super-man" soon. He's been flying here and there. He will be flying 3times within 3months. Next month, he may have to attend a tradeshow as well as visiting of his clients and business associates. If he goes for this trip, I will most probably "tagged" along cos' its to one of my favourite country. Haha. He will go for his tradeshow whilst I will go Shopping & Shopping and swipe the card out. Haha. But I reckon, I will have to settle my own breakfast, lunch and maybe even dinner. Luckily, I am independent enough to strike out on my own in a foreign land. Just gimme a map and I should be fine on my own. Anyway, this trip is still pending and tickets have yet to be purchased. Oh, just to mention, a short trip next mth have been confirmed. I will be going for a weekend escapade with dearie and two of my dear friends. Looking forward to it and am counting down the days to both trips. I am sure April will be a much enjoyable and carefree month for me. :)

Benson's Birthday Celebration!! :)

2006-03-01T16:52:00.000+08:00

28th Of February was Dear Benson's birthday. The whole group of us met up at Bugis "重庆麻辣火锅" for our dinner. Thanks pal for waiting up for my dearie and making you people eat so late at nite. Had 4 types of soup base. The 麻辣 soup base was apparently too hot for Evelyn cos' her lips turned so red & puffy after afew mouthful. Haha...we teased and called her 香肠嘴. I kept eating the golden mushrooms, while Eve "attacked" the fishballs and the rest of the gals simply loved the dumplings. Sherrie Sis took a bite into the "Fuzhou" fishball and the "juice" splattered onto the poor birthday boy. Haha. Keith was the only one who didn't make it to the dinner as he had to attend classes. Poor thing!!

Here's our sumptuous spread:

Keith joined us at Pool Fusion II after his classes. We had 3 tables on the 2nd level, with the gals hogging onto 1 table. Haha. While the guys rotate between themselves for the remaining 2 tables. Was quite enjoyable playing with different players. But I guess I lost touch liao, havent played for ages. I cant even hit those nearly "impossible-to-miss" type of balls. I think I played quite badly that nite. Anyway, it was just for fun. The place was quite cosy and that it wasnt that crowded, probably bcos' it was a Tuesday. Anyway, think I will go there again, polish up my skills and this time round, I shall thrash the guys.Haha..if I could :P

Sentosa Weekend Escapade!!

2006-02-27T23:32:00.000+08:00

Met up with my few khakis last Saturday and we drove into Sentosa to look for Keith who had his annual D&D celebration there. He had a 1 nite free hotel stay given by his GENEROUS Company to all staff. Dearie, Gilbert, Rachel & myself were kindly invited by Keith to stay there. We reached Sentosa close to 11pm and promptly checked into the hotel. Gosh, really love the room, tastefully decorated, the toilet is so nice & the bed was so BIG and comfortable. Thanks to our dear & considerate Keith for letting the 4 of us have the bed. Thanks also for getting us extra pillows, blankets, the mineral water and tibits.

Our Room:

Walked over to the Sentosa Golf Club to get to IL-LIDO for our drinking session. 4 of us shared a bottle of red wine whilst Rachel had her Lychee Martini. I dun really like the taste of it. Found it abit too strong for my taste bud. We while the time away by playing "终极密码". Whoever guesses the number correctly will have to drink their glass of wine. Both Gilbert & myself were the big loser of the nite. We were then nicknamed the "炮王" & "炮后" by the rest. Sob Sob. Kept losing no matter what number I called for. Was really down on my luck. Stayed till the restaurant closed before going back to our room. Hopefully u guys love the ambience as much as my dearie & me.

Wine Drinking @ IL-LIDO:
Went back to our room and played mahjong. Our dear Gilbert went to buy a small set of mahjong for us so that its easier for us to bring to the hotel and that it will not be that noisy. Thanks to Gilbert...we had quite a bit of fun meddling with the small tiles. Everyone of us were not use to handling tiles of that size. I had problem looking at the numbers on the tiles, while some others miss the chance to "碰" or "吃" the tiles they wanna. The characters on the tiles were too small hence no1 was able to feel what tile it was. Hehe. Gilbert "surrended" near to the end of the game cos' he was too tired. Headed straight for the bed. Dearie took over his instead. Boy, we oni finished the game around 7am and had only 3 hours plus of rest. Shag!!

At The Hotel Lobby:

Gilbert's Small Mahjong Tiles: Next morning, upon check-out, drove over to Palawan Beach. We settled at Coastes Beach Restaurant for our lunch. Expensive lunch that cost us $100plus for the few of us. **Sweat** I liked the ambience of this beach restaurant. It's close to the beach and that it provide board games, like Taboo, Pictionary & Scrabble for their diners. In the midst of eating our lunch, dearie got a call and need to rush over to a hotel @ Havelock for an urgent meeting. Lucky he got some presentable & fresh clothings. Our initial intention was the guys to play beach volley with Mr Ryan Teo but too bad....Dearie had to attend this meeting. Hence, he left the 4 of us @ the beach. We self-occupied by playing "Scrabble". We paired up with Gilbert & Rachel in a team, Keith & myself in another. It was a tie. Didnt realise "Scrabble" was such a mind game till yesterday. Haha. Really got to plan ur next step well before forming your words. Dearie came back to look for us after a good 3hours. Didn't manage to find Mr Ryan at the beach that he was supposed to be at. Sorry folks for making u guys walk up and down the beach. 对不起!! The overall stay at Sentosa was a nice experience, especially the stroll along the beach. It was then we realised Sentosa changed alot over the years. Guess, its been quite some time since we stepped into Sentosa.

Heart-To-Heart Talk

2006-02-23T18:27:00.000+08:00

Was out with Sisters Gang last nite. Met up at Bugis MacDonalds with Sherrie beforehand. We witnessed a fight that almost broke out at Starbucks. Guys can be very violent man(no blows were exchanged though) if they really wanna be cos' we saw a guy pouring his coffee towards another guy. Guy number 2 poured coffee back, push table. Guy 1 throw his cigarette butt at Guy 2. Push tables again....then his friends intervened and afterwhich they sat down both looking still damn pissed. Staff from Starbucks mediated as well and helped to clear the mess they created. Both guys were busy wiping their hands and clothes. Talked again then stood up push tables again....it just went on and on. Sherrie & I were there watching the whole drama.

Karen came along and we began our discussion and Eve came alittle while later cos' her office is the furthest from Bugis. Ate & chat at the same time. We thrashed out everything amongst the few of us. Each of us said our piece and we managed to clear the air. It was such a good talk and was beneficial to all of us cos' we finally understood each other better than before and also in a way we finally understood what each party meant cos' by leaving comments on blog or SMS or MSN or whatsoever could lead to further misunderstandings if words were not interpreted/transmitted correctly. Who knows even an "Exclaimation Mark" may lead to disagreement. Hence, I'm very glad words were exchanged in person with all my dear sisters.

After our dinner, we went up to Watsons cos' me wanna get a new contact lens solution. Boo hoo...I've been using "RXXX" brand and its been quite some time liao. Now damn worried about my eyes. Though the fault may not be and have yet to be confirmed to be the solution itself but I guess its better to keep away from this brand for the time being since it was on the local news. Anyway, there were afew other gals grabbing the solutions from various brands. Guess, they were like me, changing from "RXXX" to other XXX brand.

Afterwhich was off to our favourite cafe..haha...Breko. Initially we wanna go for "Shisha" but too bad Mummy Karen need to go back early for "Spelling Test". So settled for the nearest cafe and resumed our chat. Had a really good heart-to-heart talk. We talked of various issues. U gals noe what exactly we talked about thus I shall not pen it down here on the blog. Whatever contents said last nite @ Breko was solely based on each and every individual's opinion. No conspiracy involved beforehand, definitely no ill intention to bad-mouth anyone neither was there any intention to create any form of bad blood between us. Always remember all Sisters, everyone MEANT WELL by giving each other advices. There's definitely trust amongst the few of us that's why our sisterhood is still that strong after 10years. No doubts between us, alrite :) Expressions on each other's face cant really imply how each feel in the heart, cos' everyone was tired last nite. Being expressionless or "whatsoever look" may not necessarily imply doubt surfacing.

Short Note For All My Dear Sister: just bear in our hearts these 3 pointers forever.....

(1) Sisters Always Be There For Each Other No Matter What Happen;

(2) Sisters Will Give Our Advices, A Shoulder To Cry On, A Helping Hand & Our Blessings To Whomever Needs It In Their Course Of Life......

(3) Sisters Will Respect Each Others' Decisions .................. :)

If you cry, we will cry with you.

If you laugh, we will laugh alongside with you.

If you slip & fall down, we will help/pull u up.

If you need a helping hand/ listening ear, all other 6 hands or 6 ears will 24/7 be there for you!!!!

Gilbert's Birthday Countdown Celebration

2006-02-21T23:04:00.000+08:00

Today is Gilbert's 29th Birthday....Happy Birthday to u!!! May all the wishes you made come true...

Met with the usual gang last nite for dinner but before that the 3 vain guys, Keith, Gilbert & Darling Thomas met at Paragon for their haircut. Dearie was supposed to be at a "Welcome Dinner" with some of his Japanese Associates but the dinner ended early so he came down town to meet us and to cut his hair. We had our dinner at "Sun With Moon" Japanese Restaurant. I really love the food there....hence asked the trio to try out the food there. Glad they enjoyed the feast. After dinner, walked down Heeren to "The Balcony" for a couple of drinks. Wanna try the Martinis and some other drinks but too bad cos' I need to drive so can only settle for non-alcoholic drinks. But nevermind, drank my favourite rosebud tea :)

It was our 1st visit there and I think I enjoyed it on the whole but Dearie almost fell asleep. What a letdown cos' he is the sort who cannot go to cafe or restaurants with dim lightings. About 20minutes before the stroke of midnite, Keith walked over to Swensons @ Crown Prince to get our Dear Gilbert his birthday cake. It was a Cookies & Creme Ice-Cream cake. The cake was so delicious but poor Keith kept coughing after that. Had another round of drinks before going home. Guess, we were all too shag out due to the previous weekend. Photos taken last nite seemed to me that we were all very lethargic and seriously deprived of sleep...haha. Also, Dearie spoilt most of the photos cos' of his droopy eyes. Though tired, but it's well worth it to be able to count down birthday with and for our own good pal!!! Anything for u...

Guys,rest well to gear up for this weekend...hahaha...

2006-02-20T17:02:00.000+08:00

Last Saturday was our Dear Gilbert's advance birthday celebration. He invited all my sisters & partners cos' they're so well-acquainted now. It's his "last" twenty plus birthday. Next year, he will officially be in his 30s. Dun worry about your old age, we wun discriminate against you..haha...luckily, I still have 1 more year than you ;P When he finally decided on last Thurdays that he wanna celebrate his birthday @ Devils, he went into a panicky state. He couldn't sleep well for the 2 days before last Sat. He was so damn worried about getting drunk. Haha...indeed he didn't manage to escape our "clutches" :)

Dearie & myself went to the hotel to meet Gilbert, Rachel & Keith. Gilbert booked 2 hotel rooms and checked us in for a nite. Such a nice fellow to have even planned for our accomodation. Thanks alot pal! Went over to Forum MacDonalds to meet Benson for our dinner..happily eating and chatting without knowing that we have to "claim" our seats @ Devils Bar before 10.30pm.

@ Forum MacDonalds:

@ Hilton Hotel:

Upon reaching Devils Bar, the staff told us that our seats were given to others. We were pissed with the way they handled this issue as they never even bother to give us a ring beforehand. The staff found us another seat but was so cramp. To us, the seat was only big enuf for about 5pax. Hence, we told her we needed a seat that is big enuf to accomodate 10pax but she told us that's the only seat available. We were exasperated but what to do...take it and make do lor. Some of us had to even stand or hang around behind the sofa.

Taken Shortly Upon Reaching Devils:

Gilbert signed up some alcohol package and got us 1 bottle of vodka & 1 bottle of Martell. We asked for Sprite Mixer for our Vodka but was given soda water instead. Our drink turned disgustingly awful that both Rachel & myself both wanna puke upon finishing our 1st glass. Never tasted such awful Vodka in my entire life. Yucks!!! We told the bartender that we were given soda water instead of Sprite. They tasted it. Goodness, didn't even trust customers. Upon tasting, the bartender then pour some unknown fluid down our juggie. Once again, it's not sprite..it's still soda water. Obviously they didnt get it!!! Gilbert the birthday boy then went over again to change...only then did they get it rite by giving us what we initially asked for....really lousy service!

My dear sisters & Richard came around 12.30am cos' I heard they got problem hailing a taxi. Poor Sisters have to pay mid-night fare and the entry charge. Anyway, soon after they reached, we started playing "5-10" game...afterwhich 2 of my sisters bought 1 "Flaming Lamborgini" and treated the birthday boy to it. Guess, it was his 1st Lambor for the nite. Dashing Gilbert wore a very stylo jacket and looked like the singer that my sisters are crazy over..so they lose no time in posing with Gilbert.

My Sisters Happily Posing With The Imitation "David":

Devils' Bib Gilbert:

The gals were busy taking photographs while the guys were busy toasting to each other. Our ultimate target for that night was to knock the birthday boys Gilbert & Benson (a way in adv celebration for Benson as their birthday is exactly 1 week apart) out..haha...but upon much consideration, we decided to spare Benson cos' he's got a fierce gf...haha. We dun wanna to see poor Benson sleeping on the streets...kekeee. We helped ourselves to the Martell more than the Vodka...hence finished it within an hour or so. Thus, Gilbert ordered another bottle Chivas Regal for us. Everyone was busy toasting to Gilbert. I'm not too sure who ordered the various rounds of Lamborgini but seemed to me that everytime I turned round or walked back to the table, there will surely be glasses of Lamborgini on our table. But it didn't seem to knock anyone out leh...so I ordered a "Graveyard" for our dear Birthday Boy. Benson, count yourself lucky last Saturday but no excuses on your birthday next week ah. Guess, the drink I ordered was quite a "fatal blow", the 3 who drank it all collapsed and 2 of them puked. It was actually meant for Gilbert but Wifey Rachel came to his rescue. Keith too.

Seemed that clubbing on birthday is the trend ever since Evelyn made the headstart. They even planned mine during our dinner talk last Sunday...but guys, mine is half year from now...way too early man! Just the tot of drinking Lambor already makes me wanna puke and I've got myself too many "arch enemies"..you guys will surely take revenge...hence, I declare now -- no clubbing on my birthday. Haha...Think u guys jolly well focus on Benson's upcoming Birthday which is next Tuesday.

The Gals Busy Posing:

The Guys Busy Drinking:

Rachel To Her Hubby's Rescue - Drinking The "GraveYard":

Evelyn & Richard:

Was rather hard to think of what to get for Gilbert cos' he seemed to have almost everything. After much brain-storming, I thought of maybe a couple spa @ The Fullerton or the Ritz Stay..we chose the latter. The few of us pooled $ and gave Gilbert a hotel getaway stay @ The Ritz Carlton as his birthday pressie. Hopefully, the both of you will have an enjoyable time in the bathroom..hehe...and who noes maybe "郭元甲" will "emerged" after that night...(haha...kidding).

After the "ceremony", we continued munching on the chicken wings that Gilbert ordered for us. I must admit the wings were delicious or maybe we were hungry...kept eating non-stop, especially Sherrie. We took quite afew photos while eating the wings...and after eating, we resumed our drinking session. Keith got knock out shortly after. Haha..seems like he can't hold his liquor these few times when we go clubbing. Always the one to be knocked out even though it is not his birthday. Keith Boy, dun be anxious, you'll get ur chance on your birthday to be completely knocked out...

Group Pic With Drunkard Keith:

That nite, I practised self-restrain to drink less and to stay sober cos' I could see quite a few potential drunkard candidates. Have to really stay sober and not add 1 more count to the drunkard group as we still have to make our way back to the hotel. So I self-occupied by taking candid shots of them...haha...had an enjoyable time and was laughing heads off when viewing my "masterpiece".

"KO" Time:

Had a hard time getting all of them back to the hotel. Took 3 separate cabs as there were the 10 of us. Keith was the most difficult one to get in the cab and up the room. He had difficulty walking towards the cab, thru the lobby (almost bump into the wall) and up the lift. He even collapsed in the lift. We had a connecting room so the sober ones including myself walked to each other's room and peep at those drunkards, helped them to the bed, watch television and also sharing the bathroom cos' the bathroom was hogged and jammed up becos' of Miss Karen. After all sisters finish bathing, we sat down at Sherrie's room to have a chat and the 4 of us shared a cup of tea..pathetic ah but the feeling was so nice to be in a hotel environment having a sister heart-to-heart talk(1st time tat the 4 of us stayed in a hotel together). A pity was that all of us were super exhausted and we ended the talk soon after.

Poor Gilbert puked no less than 10 times (I think) for the entire nite till the next morning..he held on tightly to his dustbin and slept. Sherrie even jokingly laughed at him for being the toilet caretaker as Gilbert spent most of the nite in the toilet and outside it. On the other hand, both Rachel & Keith were completely knocked out and went into their respective dreamland soon after hitting the pillow.

After checking out, we went to the coffee shop beside Allson Hotel for our brunch. Afterwhich Dearie took over the wheels on behalf of Gilbert who vomited till breakfast time and is not in the mind to drive, while I drove Dearie's car. We went to Gilbert's place for Mahjong. The guys played @ 1 table while the gals were playing at another. Karen was rather new to Mahjong so she paid Rachel, Sherrie & Myself some "mahjong fee". Hehe...Dinner at a nearby coffeeshop ard 8+pm when we ended the mahjong and we went off separate ways at about 10+pm.

姐妹万岁!!!

2006-02-17T14:24:00.000+08:00

Was thinking what to write for my blog..racked my brain hard and thought maybe I could just write about people close to me -- my wonderful group of sisters. I shall write on each and every one of them. In addition, I will post up some of their photos taken during their younger days and also recent photos. From there can really compare and tell the transformation that each of us have been thru...haha...

Sherrie: The sister whom I meet up with most often. Probably becos we live near to each other and that Sherrie have better control of the time to meet cos' she's pursuing her full-time studies and is nearing the end of her degree course. I hereby wish you in advance -- Good luck for your upcoming exams!! Can't exactly remember when it was that we first met except that these bunch of wonderful gals are introduced to me by my dear cousin Evelyn. Guess, it was way back in 1994/1995. Could remember the days when Sherrie was still in Secondary School, her uniform will be tucked in so neatly and tight, her skirt is also very tight...and another thingy that I rem was her socks are pulled high up to about knee level. Maybe that was the trend. Haha..

Sherrie & myself think quite alike for most issues. Hence, maybe that's the reason why I dote on her like my next-of-kin. Similarly she dote on me as much as I dote on her, and also she is the only sister that sent me a birthday parcel to Australia on my birthday. It was a Taiwanese Drama Serial. Helped me kill some time in Aust. Was really happy and surprise to receive her gift. But sis, you gotta learn how to spell my name cos' you got the name spelled wrongly..haha..Also, she gave me little gifts each semester I took flight back to Australia. Gifts include a bumbble bee photo holder, a cute pencil, a handmade card with her warm wishes, a winnie the pooh "不倒翁" and also a Pooh Bear deflatable soft toy. Though was only little gifts of not much value, but it certainly warm my heart to the fullest to know that someone really care for me. It beats all expensive gifts that I ever received. Its also these gifts that helped me stood strong during my sad days in Australia when my results wasn't what I expected. Also, not forgetting that she will send me off every single time I go back and I do remember that there was once it rained super super heavy and she still came by airport to send me off. Really touched!!! Sis, u r truly a fantastic SISTER!!! **HUGZ**

On the other hand, Sherrie & I are no exception too. We had our fair bit of disagreement just like other people. It was becos of a guy that we had a disagreement (pls dun mistake that we fought for the same guy). Sis, you should know who the guy is. I said all that in the past cos' I wanna protect you from further hurt & physical harm. Maybe I was too outspoken or blunt and wasn't tactful in this matter but all in all I was trying to help. I rem there was a period when we didn't speak for quite a while. Felt being boycott by the rest as well cos you guys meet up and did not asked me along. It did hurt me quite abit but I knew my initial intention wasn't wrong so I stood firm too. Do u rem, there was once we met up by chance @ One Fullerton?? I was with my ex-colleague and you were also there with your Maybank's ex-colleague??? I went over and talked to you but seemed at that moment that we have drifted so far apart with no common topics. I went back to my seat shortly after feeling heart pain. When I was hospitalised, you guys never paid me a visit neither a SMS. Felt very despondent at that time cos' my once beloved also left me at that crucial period of my life. But thank GOD, months after, we made it up and I just wanna add here that I really treasure our friendship and thank goodness this friendship wasn't taken away from me. Actions shall speak louder than Words. I will prove with actions that you gals mean alot to me.

Sherrie's Portfolio:

Evelyn: She is my dear cousin cum my very good friend. I am the sort who click with guys more than gals but thanks to Eve, that I got to know such a nice bunch of gal friends. When we go out, I would actually prefer her to intro me to her friend as "Friend" rather than "Cousin". Introducing me to her friend as "Cousin" would somehow create a tension(like I'm there to spy on them..haha) and I think people would see me as such an Old Lady mixing with these bunch of youngsters...haha...

Eve used to live around the East but shifted some years back to BP. In a way, the distance between her house and all our houses drew us a little apart as in we can't meet up for chat & coffee as and when we like. But Eve did make all efforts to go down Town to meet up which is very much appreciated. Back in our younger days, I always bring her to Sparks Night Disco, Funfairs, Ice-Skating & Cycling, Bowling, etc...Haha.Bad Cousin ah..leading the young astray when she was only sweet 14. Still remembered that when we were ice-skating, some gals actually thought that I was the younger cousin and she's the elder one..haha..Eve was damn sad about this comment. I do rem another incident with regards to our East Coast Cycling, we chat as we rode and I wasn't very good in riding...in the end, our bicycles bumped right together and I "flew" off. Part of my right elbow's flesh came off immediately. I was in terrible pain. Eve rode back asap to the locker and took some plasters and tissues for me. Right now, I still have the scar on the elbow. Serves as a remembrance..haha..ugly one though! Lastly, there's also a "鱼片米粉" incident that she will still @ times grumble to me...owe u one sis :P

She is 1 sister that I think have changed the most along the way. She used to be a super innocent gal who knew nothing, transformed into an "Ah-Lian" wearing the then famous Giodarno white windbreaker, with Orange Rocco Skirt coupled with Ferrangamo belt. Also don with a fendi hairband or hairclip. Afterwhich years down the road, she became an "Auntie" who couldn't care less about her dressing or appearance. And and and after all that she have gone thru' for the past years, she have now transformed into I would say "OL" with her tummy protruding out most of the times. Kekekee...Sis, those unhappy days have passed and your life is now back on track with someone there taking care of you as well as loving you. I still remember that there were practically no smile on your face for that few months and that time when u cried at Bugis MacDonalds. We sisters believe that you are and will be strong enough to stand up after that fall. U did so and we are proud of you!!! Also, your friends have since that breakup multiplied. You have much more friends than you used to have. You will never be alone! What's left of to do now that we sisters think you should do is ............ (the thingy we talk about at CoffeeBean last sat)..think about it k.

Evelyn's Portfolio:

Karen: Wasn't really close to Karen in the past. No special reason. Maybe we just didn't bond that's all. But after all that we have gone thru', I must say that we are closer than before. I guess, it really takes 2 to clap. I did tried my best to be a nice sister to her and simarily she tried her best to attend all our gatherings. We have some little secrets between ourselves..some gals dirty talk when we pee in Newsroom Bar, Devils Bar & also Mzone... But I wun ever tell people about it..dun wori sis!! It shall 4eva be our little secret! Hahaha...the rest of u gals, dun bother to dig info from us...we wun talk ;P

Karen is the smartest gal among us in terms of academic prospect. She scored almost all distinctions for her 7 subjects(I think) for GCE 'O' Levels. She is the most demure and innocent gal that will go straight home after school. She is very much unlike Sherrie & Eve who will @ times roam the central area or hang around the Pavilion Burger King (I think). But things started changing...Karen changed quite alot of her appearance when she was 15/16years old. She also wore the white transparent Giordano windbreaker and what's interesting is she carries a very cute & BIG Doreamon bag...was a typical Ah-Lian @ that era. Though was an Ah-Lian in the past but she is a real nice & kind soul. But blur blur @ times......

Sis, Just a note to let u know that though none of us have experience what you've gone thru' all these years and can't relate 100% to your feeling. The most we can & definitely will do is to always be there with u, share with u your happiness and sadness. Anytime u feel down & out, just give either of us a tinkle. The good will always have their good returns...I believe urs will come soon .... ;) Dun despair or give up on yourself again, ok. It hurts us as much as you are hurt.

2006-02-15T17:28:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was sweet Valentine's Day. Hopefully all those who are attached had an enjoyable day last night. This year is a rather special year for me as it's the 1st time that Dearie wasn't by my side. We had a pre-celebration on last Sunday. Sweet Darling reserved a table @ "IL-LIDO", a classy and romantic Italian restaurant @ Sentosa which I mentioned casually that I wanna go. Dearie is exceptionally sweet this year in which he took charge of all the planning of the programmes. *Muack* Though we had to dress up, drive into Sentosa specially for the dinner, but the lovely view of the sea, the beautiful sunset and the goodness of the food sure helps to drive all fatigue away. It sure is a cool place to chill out with your good pals.

Darling took off for his business trip to Philippines on early monday morning but thankfully this time round was only a 2D1N kindda conference unlike the past few times whereby he will be away for at least a week. Though Dearie wasn't with me, nice Keith kept me company and brought me to Sixth Avenue for a romantic cum SUPER FILLING Brazilian dinner on monday nite itself. Afterwhich we went off to Boat Quay for some drink. Thanks Boy!!

Dearie pre-ordered a bouquet of flowers before he left and it was sent to me yesterday. Was a little taken aback as he seldom send me flowers. He said it was to brighten up my day up as well as to make it up for his absence...was really sweet of him. Gotten 3 other gifts from my 2 very good pals. Just a note to 2 nice couple friends of mine whom 1 asked me out for coffee on Monday nite and the other asked me for dinner. Though I wasn't able to join neither 1 but really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart that you guys had the intention to ask me out knowing that my Dearie was outstation. You guys are cool!! :) Really a blessing to have you people as my friends..... *Hugz*

Was off to the airport last night to pick Dearie up. Dearie only came out of the gate @ 10.20pm. So we made good of the remaining hour plus to celebrate the Valentine's Day....Went over to Jalan Kayu for some food. Though was a place we frequent and that there's only prata available, but I was already contented cos' Dearie was with me. Guess for me, nothing beats having my loved ones by my side. Sherrie & Benson came over to join us. Sis, think you came over specially to pass me the cutie "flower" rite?? :) We chatted till 1am before ending the night.....

Happy New Year To All..... :)

2006-02-04T12:43:00.000+08:00

The 1st few days of the Lunar New Year just whizzed past in a blink of an eye's time. Probably was because everyday was a tiring and long day hence didn't realised that. This year is quite a special year for me as I didn't join my family for their reunion dinner with my aunts and uncles. Mum & Dad planned for reunion dinner on last Friday and notified me at the eleventh hour but I had already promised to go out with a friend, hence didn't make it. Sat was supposingly my family reunion dinner but bro & wifey is out of town, hence I thought might as well go over to Dearie's house and eat reunion dinner with his family & relatives. 1st time in our courtship that I attended his reunion dinner.

Sat noon time was spent doing for some last-minute shopping around town with my beloved cousin Evelyn and had a cuppa coffee before going off at ard 6pm. Nite time met up with Evelyn again and some of her friends to go Devils bar to usher in the "Dog" year. Had quite a fun time but got drunk and puked. Heartful gratitude to Evelyn's friend Alex aka Jerry who drove me back. Woke up on CNY Day 1 with severe headache but had already promised Dearie to go new year visiting with him. Endured the entire day till his cousin gave me a panadol... :P No wonder lost $ for black jack & mahjong.

Keith, Rachel & Gilbert came on Day 1 nite and we played mahjong. Gilbert wore the lucky Wolvrine tee and coupled with his lucky ring, was the sole winner of that nite. Ended the game only at 7am on early Day 2 morning. Lucky no more new year visiting for Dearie & myself, hence we slept till mid noon before going out for lunch. Poor Rachel, Gilbert & Keith could only sleep 2-3hours before their respective new year visiting.

Day 2 nite was down at Orchard with Karen, Sherrie, Benson, Keith, Rachel, Gilbert. We planned for KTV @ PartyWorld followed by a late night movie "Fearless". KTV was fun for all of us as we had so much fun & laughter trying to self capture a photo - each of us were being assigned a number and a placing. Dun get what I mean, nevermind, have a look at the pictures and you'll understand. Another thing that tickled all of us was Gilbert playing with the oranges. See photo below and the nick we appointed to him. There were an hour lapse between KTV and the movie thus we walked on down to Rocky for some drinks. Glutton Keith ate the oranges that PartyWorld gave us (in actual, we were charged $16 for 8 oranges)..goodness!! Smart Boy Gilbert used the orange peels and created a "发". It sure looks good!! He is so damn creative and hyper alert to everything around him. Afterwhich, we went off to Level 9 Cineleisure for our movie. My 1st and apparently all of us have never been to the theatres on the 9th level. The theatres seems quite futuristic. Fearless in my view is quite a good movie with excellent fighting scene. But alittle way too violent for me to absorb. I cried towards the end cos' 霍元甲 was about to die. Guess, I am the sort who prefer to watch happy ending rather than the cast dying. But 霍元甲 died with glam as he have proven that Asians arent weaklings.

Just to mention....a misunderstanding occured on the day I went KTV. It's between sisters. I attributed it to poor communication & planning hence leading to unnecessary unhappiness. Sis, u said case closed and I have clarified whatever I wanna say on the same nite liao but I wanna add the last bit here and that is "No matter what happen, Sisters will be forever, you will not be abandoned, forgotten or be outcast".

Day 3: Hospitable Gilbert & Rachel invited us to their house for some mahjong. Picked Karen, Charmaine & Keith up. Blur 干妈 forgot that I had a camera in my bag, forgot to take photos with my beloved god-daughter. Haiz...We played black jack the moment Sherrie & her beau arrived. Dearie & Gilbert lost while the other 6 of us won..haha...Proceeded on to Mahjong, till 9pm. Ended the game with two main losers of the night...my poor Dearie & Gilbert AGAIN!!! Maybe my darling Charmaine flashed her undies in Gilbert's direction unintentionally, tat's y Gilbert was down on his luck or probably he can't play at his own house??? We had a super delicious dinner for that nite. The guys bought 3 chilli crabs, 3 tomato crabs, 6 pkts of stired fried noodles of different kinds, nuggets, fries, yu-sheng. Was a really filling dinner. But a real pity the 4D ticket that came with the Yu-Sheng didn't appear as a winning number for us the following day. Ended the session around 12midnite as Keith, Benson & Gilbert had to work on the following day.

Day 4: Both Dearie & myself had nothing on so invited Rachel over to Dearie's place for Mahjong. Guess, I am really hooked on Mahjong and soon becoming a Mahjong Freak...haha. Met up @ AMK for lunch and then began the game soon after 3pm. Gilbert came by around 6pm and was just in time to join us for the second game as we had just ended the 1st. Perfect timing. Game over @ 10pm. Dearie's bro & myself were the biggest winner. :) Terrific luck that day as I had about 6-8 games of self won "四台" & "五台". Off to dinner around 10pm and was my treat for the rest. I try to always practised this habit of treating other when I win their $ as I strongly believe in 独乐乐不如众乐乐. I have been winning everyday with the exception of Day 1. But Dearie has been losing since dunno when and he jokingly labeled himself as 东方必败 & 逢赌必输. Haha..Hopefully Dearie's luck will change for the better soon...and win all his $ back **cross finger & pray hard**

Tonight will be my dear Karen's sis housewarming celebration and I can see my beloved Charmaine once again. Must take more pictures with her to make up for CNY Day 3. Guess, tonight will be another nite of fun, laughter, Mahjong, Black Jack, and probably Bingo.

Darling's Birthday Celebration Part 2 @ Bugis

2006-01-25T17:32:00.000+08:00

15th Jan: Darling and Keith woke up with severe headache due to the previous nite. Keith popped a panadol soon after he woke up. Dearie followed suit. Keith to my surprise was so drunk that he couldn't even walk properly but never vomitted at all. Think he "bottled" everything within him...haha....On the contary, Dearie vommited when he was still @ Mzone, in the cab, when he reached home as well as the next morning which is the 15th. Total count was about 10times, I think. We went out for our lunch nearby Dearie's house. Keith seemed to have such good appetite, ate a bowl of noodles and afterwhich he ordered 2 pieces of prata, drank coffee and "Sweet Talk" yam milk tea with bubbles. Haha...this fellow can really eat alot man!!! Dearie on the other hand, couldn't eat much...he kept stirring his bowl of noodles and could only eat the ingredients in it. I had a plastic bag on "standby" cos Dearie seemed to us that he may wanna vomit at any time. Was only after I bought for the guys "Sweet Talk" then Dearie regained his appetite.

16th Jan: Was my Darling Thomas' birthday countdown celebration. 9 of us met up at Bugis for our steamboat dinner. It was also meant to be a "gift unwrapping ceremony". Usually, we would unwrap the pressie on the day we celebrated but Dearie was too drunk to do so, so adjourn to the 16th. Evelyn due to some pre-arranged appointment and Sandy being the ever-dedicated teacher had to stay at home to prepare her teaching materials couldn't join in. After dinner, Victor bid us farewell cos he wanna go back to keep wifey Sandy company..so the 8 of us went down to a cafe nearby to countdown Dearie's birthday. Thanks to all who stayed till midnite (17th Jan) to specially wish Thomas Happy Birthday!! **Muack** U people are absolutely amazing :) This wouldn't be so happening without you guys gracing the occasion.

Photos & Video Clips of the nite speak for itself how much fun we had.......

Darling's Birthday Celebration Part 1 @ Mzone

2006-01-24T22:44:00.000+08:00

Haven't had the chance to blog lately cos' was busy helping out at Darling's office and moreover had alot of other appointments to keep.

Finally found the chance to do so right now, so let's reverse the clock a little............................

14th Jan: Was Darling's birthday celebration @ Mzone. Met up Gilbert, Rachel, Keith & Simon for dinner at the alfresco dining area beside Meridien Orchard. My sisters couldn't make it in time to join for dinner as they were bz helping Karen shifting house. Hence, were late in joining the celebration. Simon also joined in for a while cos' he needed to be back at the Northern side to pick his gf...haha...tricked him into playing the "5-10" game and he lost about 7 times in a row and finished his glass of beer within minutes..and oh boy, his face turned red like a tomato. Gilbert also left for his friend's birthday not too long after. When Gilbert returned, most of them were tipsy especially Dearie & Keith...haha..

The celebration turned more enjoyable when my sisters came close to midnite. Karen, Benson & Evelyn looked so shag out. It's totally understandable cos' they shifted all the furnitures close to about 8 hours. The whole group of people began drinking heavily with the exception of me cos' I just recovered from illness. They "forced" the birthday boy to drink 2 waterfall, 1 lambo and 1 graveyard all at the same time...Luckily, dearie could hold his liquor quite well but not good enough as they kept asking him to drink this and that throughout the whole night. Lost track of how much Dearie drank, think it's about 3-4 Waterfall, 2 Lambor, numerous glass of beer, bourbon...etc. Keith is another 1 that got drunk, couldnt recall how much he drank but all I remembered was he kept losing to Rachel in the "5-10" game and that he drank quite fast. Maybe he was knocked out shortly after cos' I ordered a "Sabuka" neat for him. My punishment for Keith as he kept buying drinks for my darling and bullying him. Furthermore, Gilbert, Rachel, Darling & myself tried "Sabuka"(dunno if it's spelt like this) before when we were studying in Aust and we knew the taste & "power" of this drink and had all the while been telling Keith about it hence I ordered it so that he can have a taste of it....haha...

Some incidents that happened that night, Keith hurt himself again on the left leg, Rachel broke a glass, Keith broke COUNTLESS of glasses & 1 ashtray, Keith ash into the bowl of tibits thinking that it was the ashtray and Karen unknowingly ate it (Karen blamed keith for giving her the runs ever since that night..haha), Darling held on tightly to his plastic bag for the second half of the night, Sherrie knocked over the bowl of tibits and seemed to us something have dropped cos we heard a sound but in the end we found Karen's shoes instead, Sherrie kept snapping picture of Dearie vomitting cos' previously when Benson vommited I was also bz capturing pictures of his embarrassing moments, Evelyn sis kept telling me that David the singer talked to her and that they took pictures together (without me, cos I was playing pool) trying to get me jealous..haha...till then I revealed to her that the photo was taken with my digi cam and that she must please me else I will not blog it...haha...and lastly, I was seated at the spot where the glasses broke, it came falling on me, count my blessings I was not hurt. :)

Thanks to Gilbert for helped Darling out of the pub and to Benson who tried helping Keith (but kanna rejected by Keith and ended up falling down when Benson let go...Kekeke). Went home with Dearie & Keith. Took me ages to get them through the gate, into the house, up the stairs, and into Dearie's room. After much effort, finally got the two drunkards to sleep...by then it was close to 5am. A big thanks on my Dearie's behalf to all for making the special effort to come down for his celebration & also the lovely gifts you people got for him. :)

Memoirs Of A Geisha

2006-01-14T12:55:00.000+08:00

Was out with Keith last nite for dinner, shopping cum movie watching. Upon meeting, we walked around Takashimaya buying the things that we already had in mine and then was off to Angus House for our dinner. Dear Keith treated me...wow..the steak was so FANTASTIC. The meat was so tender and juicy. It was a dinner course with the usual, bread, soup, appetizer, dessert..etc. Gosh, every dish was so good. will make any trip there soon. Keith, in case you are reading this, please dun ever think I wasn't appreciative of your intention to order Wagyu for me. It's just too expensive and I can't bear to hence rejected ur nice offer. I was contented enough with my Sirloin and trust me I enjoyed every single bit of it. Thanks anyway for your 用心良苦 to bring me to Angus knowing that I loveeeee Beef!!!

After dinner we settled down @ Rocky Masters and had a really good chat. We had some issues pending between us and I guess toking it out sure makes me feel better now. At least my direction is clear now. Watched Memoirs of a Geisha....personally view, the show wasn't too bad, giving an insight of the life of a geisha. Used to have the wrong perception about geisha but after viewing it, geisha are actually quite pitiful, have to be controlled and can't pursue their own dreams or the man they love. Geisha is quite a nice show...Both Keith & myself like it.

Tonight we be holding an advance birthday celebration for my Dearie as his birthday is next week. Haha...Dearie is a little worried now as he think maybe tonite will be payback time as his close friends will definitely make him drunk (which they did last year @ Dearie's bday chalet with Dearie drink 11 cups of high liquor continuously). Hopefully Dearie can knock them out before they do to him...

Last Sunday was a super wet day whereby it rained the entire day. Perfect weather to laze around at home but Keith, Dearie & myself were invited to attend our friend's Solemnization so despite the heavy rain, we drove on down slowly & cautiously to Clarke Quay for their ceremony. It was a simple ceremony with about 20 guests in all. The vow taking cum luncheon was held in a private function room within a chinese restaurant. We felt so apologetic that the couple got the JP to wait up for us as we were the last 3 person to arrive :p But seriously, we didn't mean to be late, there was super bad jam along CTE, I was driving as fast as I could but the traffic was damn slow moving and afterwhich we still had to search for the venue as we were not too familiar with Clarke Quay.

After the ceremony was over, we were being ushered to our seats in the room, friends that I haven't seen for donkey years happened to take the seat beside me. We exchanged a few words, asking each other about our mutual friends, jobs, respective life...etc. Luncheon went on smoothly and ended close to 2pm. Wanna go down to Orchard for a walk, but the weather was damn bad that we decided to go back to Dearie's house and play mahjong instead. Wise decision cos' I won quite alot just by playing 1 round...Sole Winner...Haha... :)

Dear Karen & Sherrie Birthday Celebration

2006-01-11T17:33:00.000+08:00

Down with back ache, fever and have been coughing quite badly for the past few days. Guess, it was due to numerous occasions where I got drenched and then afterwhich holed up at the aircon office for the entire day. Hence, feeling quite restless now, dunno what to do...so I decided to update my blog, else I will sure be bombard by friends again for the photos that we took during my 2 dear sisters' birthday.

Now some backdated blog entry....

New Year day was a long and tiring day for me. Was a total count of about 16 hours spent outside. Noon time itself was spent at Victor & Sandy's housewarming party. The house was beautifully furnished and designed by our dear Victor. Though not elaborately done but it sure looks modern and have that kind of simplicity look that I love. Location of their new house wasn't too bad, it's very near to all the basic amenities.

Photos Taken @ V & S Housewarming:

Left Victor's house around 5+pm. Dearie, Keith & myself went over to the nearby shopping mall for a cuppa coffee before meeting my dear sis Sherrie, Karen & Benson to go on down to Orchard. New year day was my dear sis Karen's birthday whilst 2nd Jan was Sherrie's birthday. They hold joint bithday celebration every year on New Year Day. Likewise, this year was no exception. It was held at Mzone 97. Cool place to be at if you are canto pop music lover and moreover there's live band and pole dancing.

Though it was a pretty wet day on their bday celebration but it didn't dampen our spirits. Not at all as we were all in the party mood. We walked over to Mos Burger 1st and waited for evelyn sis to arrive with some of her friends.

Photos Taken @ Mos Burger:

Left Mos Burger and went on straight down to Mzone 97. Wow...guess we were abit too kiasu..1st group to reach the club. Chose a big & comfy sofa that could accomodate the 15 of us...soon after settling down, we started drinking. Sherrie & Karen treated us to few jugs. For the entire nite, we had rounds and rounds of Lamborgini, beer, vodka, bourbon, etc. The Lamborgini sold at Mzone is by far the cheapest I heard of...maybe that's the reason why quite afew of us were knocked out by the end of the session. There were too many funny incidents that happened along the way but is just too much for me to pen down here...just to mention a few, Benson got drunk and kept spitting at the floor, eve and myself slipped and fell, with me breaking 2 glasses(unknown to me till Rachel told me 1 day later), Keith kenna red paint on his black shirt(dunno kenna from where), me playing pool (also unknown to me till I saw the pic of me playing pool), Alex in half drunk status dancing...etc.

In short, I enjoyed myself tremendously on New Year Day. Had such a crazy & fun time celebrating my 2 beloved sisters' birthday though u gals birthday never once failed to burn a hole in my pocket..haha...Some dear friends of mine, Gilbert, Rachel and Keith who joined in this year were terrific and sporting party mates as well. Dearie was such a nice boy, taking care of me, my sisters and Benson..*Muack* I was really tipsy but thank goodness, didnt puke and managed to make my way home. Photos taken for the nite were really too much so it took me some time to compile photos from both Sherrie & Keith(he handed it to me only last Sat). Pardon me for the delay, alrite. Enjoy the photos..... :)

New Year Eve Countdown....

2006-01-03T12:57:00.000+08:00

Sat: Spent New Year Eve's countdown at Dearie's home with Gilbert, Rachel, Jason and Keith. Was a simple steamboat dinner cum mahjong session cos' we didn't wanna go out to those crowded places like Esplanade or even Orchard Road. Hence, all the planning for a simple countdown with only some of our good friends. Was a pity Sherrie & Benson couldn't make it though I had bought their share of food a day ago.

Had lunch with Dearie earlier on on Saturday noon at AMK eating the famous Bak Chui Mee. After which Gilbert and Rachel came over to help us do the last bit of grocery shopping. Sweetie Rachel helped me with all the cutting of the ingredients and marinating as well. Thanks Gal!!! If not, I guess I will be very shag out having to juggle all the stuff. Dearie's maid helped us out with preparing the soup base. Thank God!!

Keith was the last to arrive and haha we started eating even before he arrived cos' we were god damn famished. Had a nice, slow and relaxing dinner and chatted throughout. Ended the dinner around 10+pm. Goodness me, there were alot of food leftover. Guess, I bought too much food. Gilbert & Keith helped washed the dishes but ended up choking the basin with water flowing out..Hehe..Whilst Rachel, Dearie & myself helped to clean up the dining area and emptying the trash.

After dinner was R&R time spent relaxing on the couch and to eat the almond jelly (my specialty) that I specially prepared for the guys to sample. Started playing mahjong and watching "The 40 Year Old Virgin" & "The Longest Yard" around 11pm. Dearie was the overall loser, clocking a count of $51 lost. Bad Luck...

Adjourned to Jalan Kayu around 4am for our late nite supper. Sat around and chit chat for almost 2 hours before taking off for home only at 6am.

Took only a few pictures as my Camera was low on battery. Such a waste... :(

Does Honesty Exist Between My Friend & I???

2005-12-29T00:05:00.000+08:00

Something has been on my mind since yesterday. What happened made me pondered hard about our friendship. It involves a friend of mine. In fact, it's someone whom I regard as a confidante, someone who never fails to cheer me up whenever I am down, someone who can walk with me till old age and still have coffee even if we have lost all our teeth by then..... But alas, I learnt that my friend hasn't been very honest with me. It sets me on a track thinking....will there really be 100% honesty between friends?

For me, I bare my heart out to my group of very very good friends, will voice out whatever is on my mind, or confiding in them, witholding only some parts if I am instructed beforehand that I can't tell anyone about it cos' it involves certain sensitive issues. But what actually went wrong between our friendship?? You mentioned to me that you will only be secretive or act mysterious if the other party does dat to you. But I dare say I did not for once ever treated you like that when it comes to serious talk. If you insist there was, it was just some silly minor stuff that I deliberately kept from you so that you can have some fun guessing about it. But in all instances, I have bared my heart out to you, spending as much quality time with you as possible, made time out whenever possible to keep you company so as to walk you out of your darkest days. I am and have never asked much from you. But you knew beforehand I dislike people to deceive me and yet to me what happened was a form of deceit. All I needed & asked from you was being honest with me. I would really appreciate that!!! But now, I have lost my trust in you and the confidence that we can be very good friends again. Guess, I should retreat a little and hide in my safety zone till I sort out my thoughts.

Friends are very important to me. I hold them high up with respect and in my heart. Sadly to say, you betrayed the trust I held for you. Why didn't you clarify month ago that you have been to "XXX" country with her when I teased you much earlier on that you haven't been there?? Why keep silent?? It was only when I accidentally stumbled upon the pictures in your digi cam that you have no choice but to tell me...why do you unveil the truth only after I discovered?? Will you tell me if I never see those pictures?? The expression displayed out from your eyes simply tells me that even after much probing and you are still not willing to tell me. Felt on my part that I was grilling the truth out from you. I am wondering now if there are any other matters that you hid from me?? Was it a wishful thinking on my part that we are good & close friend that can share anything under the sky?? I am really very disappointed with you.

Remember that I mentioned to you months ago that I doubt almost all sentences uttered out from you cos' your words dun seem to tally with your actions?? I tried my best to disperse of that hateful behavior of mine to have even doubt you for a second. I told myself that I must trust you no matter what cos' I have never ever for once doubt my friends or their words and that you will never lie to me. I guess I am wrong...

I would rather you be very honest with me that you wanna and choose to wallow in despair then to 敷衍. On the surface, you seemed to listen hard to me whenever we meet up and when I give you advice. I dare not say I am always right or my advice is definitely the best option. But I dare pledge that whatever said or done was to protect you from further hurt and heartpain. Cos' I told you it hurts me to see you in pain & ache.

In the end............ it seemed like I am the only one badly hurt from this incident cos' I felt I am being deceived by a bosom, a confidante that I thought I could share all my happinese and woes with. Jolene swore that from this day onwards, I will wash my hands off your affair and anything pertaining to her. No more advices from me to you ever again cos' Jo is tired, really very tired. Maybe being platonic friends suit us better. No burden...

No worries "So-&-So", I will treat you the way I treat any other normal friends. I will laugh & joke with you just like the good old times but my heart will never ache again for you. Sorry, but this is the best I can do.....

Bangkok Trip

2005-12-27T23:58:00.000+08:00

24th Dec: Met Keith @ Changi Airport @ 1.30pm to do the check-in for our trip and afterwhich Dearie rushed over after work to Airport to have a quick luncheon with us @ Burger King as well as to send me off. Couldn't bear to leave him in Singapore during the festive season but really no choice. The plane took off @ 3.25pm. Dearie told me that he went home and slept all the way despite the fact that his bro was having some BBQ celebration @ home. He woke up only about 12midnite to eat the BBQ food. There was some form of guilt building up within me when I knew he was so lonely @ home and I was there in Bangkok having fun with Keith.

At Changi Airport:

Reached Bangkok around 4.45pm (Bangkok Time). Waited a whole hour just to have our passport stamped. Gosh, really exasperated with the airport staff, their service & attitude. Our guide met us up and drove us to our hotel - Asia Hotel. Was already 7pm when we reached our hotel so without hesitation, we dropped our luggage in the room and went off to shop at MBK which was about a good 10minutes walk from my hotel. Was a blessing that the weather was damn cooling and it certainly felt as though we were walking down the streets under air-con temperature. MBK closed quite early despite being X'mas Eve. So sad. There wasn't any extention of shopping hours so we ended the shopping spree @ 10.15pm before settling @ some Japanese Noodle shop for our dinner. Countdown Xmas with Keith in our room cos' it turned midnite minutes after we stepped into the room (Singapore time). Dearie & myself bought for Keith a G2000 shirt and he got me some cute dice & sweets(he claimed it was bought in Japan) whilst Dearie got himself a tin of Famous Amos Biscuits which was given to him by Keith before we flew.

At Bangkok Airport:

Our Room:

My X'mas Gift From Keith:

Shopping @ MBK On Our 1st Nite:

After the gift exchange in the room, I changed and got myself ready for some clubbing & booze. Went to Bed SupperClub @ Soi 11 Sukhumvit to countdown Xmas cos' Bangkok is 1 hour behind Singapore time. Haha..countdown twice in a row. The place was very packed and the entry fee cost about S$42, inclusive of 2 drinks. Found it quite expensive. The club was very happening with about 90% caucasians, 5% Thai & the remaining are Asians. I suddenly developed the feeling that I was clubbing @ Gold Coast & Brisbane back in those good old & carefree days in Aussie Land. The feeling was so goooood. The music's cool!! The place is also very comfy. I had only 1 corona, 1 bourbon coke & half a shot unlike Keith who had a little too much to drink and was abit high and behaving quite wild over @ the club. Had a hard time restraining him :(

At Bed SupperClub:

Reached back the hotel only @ 3am. Gosh...day tour for the next day begins @ 8am :(

25th Dec: Was damn tired cos we only slept for a pathetic 3 hours after a crazy nite of clubbing, so we dragged ourselves to the day tour...started off with the famous 4-faced buddha, the standing buddha, the gems gallery and the last stop being the honey factory.

After the day tour ended, the guide drove us down to Chatuchak Market. Haven't been there before though I have been to Bangkok for quite a couple of time. Didn't really like the place though it sells alot of stuff and some of it can't be found in Singapore but becos' the place was so congested with people walking and bumping into me, there was hardly any fresh air, the air smell so stale cos' there were some stalls nearby selling some unknown cooked food. Was hard having to avoid being touched, stepped onto as well as to watch over our belongings.

Headed for the train station to go to MBK & Tokyo cos' we need to get something on our friend's behalf. The train ride fare was quite cheap compared to Singapore but was equally as crowded.

Happenings @ MBK:

After getting all the stuffs and some presents for our friends, we walked on down to Hard Rock Cafe to buy some of their polo and tees as well as to have our dinner. Had to have an early dinner as we need to be back at the hotel at 7+pm cos' we booked a tour to see the famours "Thai-Gal" show (correct spelling??). I have seen it once before but Keith is new to it. I looked forward to the live sex show as I missed it the previous time I went. Keith was simply engrossed in the stunts and was bowled over by 1 of the female performers. She was so young, sexy and quite pretty and the reason why Keith liked her was becos' she wore a bright smile on her face throughout her dance & stunt. He even wanna watch her perform for the last time before leaving. Haha....Finally saw the live sex performance but I didn't quite enjoy it as the man was quite old and it seemed to us that they were expressionless and doing it for the sake of doing. Abit gross in my opinion.

Walking Towards HRC:

After the show, we went to Suan Lom Market to shop. Never been there before and this market is definitely so much better than the Chatuchak Market in terms of the quality of the goods sold and the cleanliness. Home Sweet Home around 12+am. Tiring day....Totally Shag out...The 2 of us dropped dead asleep after bathing.

At Suan Lom Market:

Modified Honda City With Lamborgini Door:

26th Dec: Was an entire day spent shopping as its our 2nd last day in Bangkok. We tried to conquer as many places as possible. Went to the various malls, pathunam market and the transvestite show. These transvestites are so pretty. We were seated 7 rows infront of the stage so it was really an up close & personal encounter with them. 1 of them shook hand with me and another came so damn close to me during her singing stint. Her face was barely 10cm away from me!!!!! Keith was so scared that they will pull him over to take pictures...Haha...Back at hotel around 11+pm. Its the 1st time of all nites that we are back in the hotel b4 midnite cos we need to pack all our barang as our flight back to Singapore was the following day @ 1pm. TOO MUCH things to pack!!!!!!

Photos Taken @ The "人妖" show:

27th Dec: Touched down Singapore Changi Airport around 4+pm. Keith came over my house and we waited up for my dear to have a simple dinner affair @ JB coffeeshop. Met up with Benson & Sherrie as well to pass Sherrie her gift. Told Dearie and the rest of the funny incidents and encounters that Keith & myself met with during our time in Bangkok. Had a good chat & rounds of laughter before parting our ways.

At Black Canyon Cafe @ Bangkok Airport Before Departing:

Note: Thanks Keith for being such a dear. Thanks also for being so attentive to me, taking such good care of me during those few days and carrying most of my stuffs from day till nite. It was really tough on you.

Christmas Gift :)

2005-12-23T13:02:00.000+08:00

Received a lovely 4 leaf clover locket from my dearest Sherrie. It's her Xmas gift for me and it's also the 1st Xmas' gift that I received so far for this year. Guess, she gave me this cos' I have given her a 4 leaf clover necklace & pendant earlier on and have been jokingly telling the rest of my sisters that people gave them the 4 leaf clover and nobody have given me any...Haha...Mayb that's why. Anyway, she said to me: "Hope the angel locket can grant me all my wishes." :) **cross my fingers**. Thanks Sis, I really love it!! **Muack**

My 4 Leaf Clover Locket On My Handphone:

Departing for Thailand tomorrow with Keith. Dearie, due to some urgent work commitment have pulled out from this trip on Monday and have already returned his air ticket to the airline company for a refund. Thank goodness, I am on close terms with the agency and therefore Dearie could get back about 80% of the total fare. This is considered alot cos' Dearie refunded his ticket about 5 days prior to departure. What a letdown cos' everything's been agreed upon and paid for :( .Now, he has to spend Xmas' alone in Singapore. Hopefully, he can find himself some programs during those few days. Dearie was apologetic towards me for backing out at the eleventh hour so wanna give me $300 as a compensation and for me to buy more things. But I rejected his kind offer as I felt $ can't make up for his absence. Luckily, I still have Keith for this trip :) and that the 2 of us will carry on with all the programs initiated earlier.

Will be back to blog next week with photos of my trip. Merry Christmas in advance to all those who know me :) Enjoy yourself during the festive season yah...........

A Must Watch Movie -- King Kong

2005-12-22T13:31:00.000+08:00

Caught King Kong in the theatres last night. All I could say was the film maker really put his heart and soul together to produce such exciting and touching storyline. I find that the most commendable thing about this movie was that the director injected some humour & romance into this movie. The part about Annie & KingKong and of cos' Annie & Jack. This makes KingKong very different from the usual thriller kind of movie whereby the creatures in those movies kept appearing and attacking the cast.

Speaking of the romance part in KingKong movie, I can only say I was totally swept off by the bond between KingKong and Annie. It was so touching that tears kept rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably, especially towards the end of the movie when KingKong battled for his life. KingKong & Annie seemed to have that special chemistry between them cos' they seemed to understand each other by just looking into each other's eyes. Also, when KingKong was held captive by Carl, it seemed to me that there's a force in KingKong to break free and go around the town searching for Annie. When he finally found Annie and reach out his palm for Annie to step onto, my tears just rolled down again. Finally, they settled on top of a top building admiring the beautiful sunrise. It was soooooooooooo romantic.

There were quite a fair bit of intense moments in the show as well, such as KingKong fighting the dinosaurs away for Annie, how KingKong fought for Annie when Carl & the rest used chrolofome on it, the last battle between KingKong & the airplanes, the disgusting and creepy insects crawling @ the bottom of the valley attacking Jack & the rest, etc.

Lastly, the male cast Jack fought his way thru the Skull Island to rescue his beloved was also commendable. He braved thru all dangers just to save someone whom he developed feelings for only during the ship voyage.

Folks, if you have yet to view this movie, do make time to go and watch cos' I think this is 1 of the best movie production of the year. I simply love all the parts of this movie!!! :)

1 Day Malaysia Tour

2005-12-20T01:53:00.000+08:00

Been really busy these days hence was very lazy to update my blog......

Anyway, I spent my Saturday playing Mahjong and was supposed to have at least 3 hours of sleep before going to Malaysia on Sunday but the two "pigs" (irritating Keith & Dearie) who shared the same room as me were snoring so loudly that I didn't get a wink for the entire nite. Dragged myself to get ready @ 5am to go to Golden Mile on early Sunday morning. Off we went to Malaysia.....

Upon getting thru both Singapore & Malaysia custom, the coach driver drove us to "皇后坊" for our breakfast. Was quite a big coffeeshop with loads of food to choose from but every stall had such a long queue. The tour guide gave us only a pathetic 30 minutes to eat and to gather by the coach. 10 minutes gone whilst searching for a vacant table cos' there were about 6-7 coaches stopping at the same place for their breakfast....another 10 minutes was to queue up and buy food. So Dearie, myself and Keith gobble down our Wanton Noodles, Fried Carrot Cake & the nice Kopi-O.

The Beautiful View Of The Sea Across The Causeway:

After Our Breakfast:

After breakfast, the driver drove us down to somewhere(dunno what's the name of the place) where he pulled over for us to buy some native products. All the 3 of us bought something for our family to eat. Afterwhich was a 90 minutes drive(good chance to catch up on my sleep..haha) to our next destination...the lobster cum seafood lunch, the Pengarran Machu Temple and the Ostrich Farm. The food served during lunch was not too bad, every1 has got a lobster each, other than that was crab, vege, oyster omelette, steam fish, etc. The only flaw about luncheon was the restaurant. It was a non-airconditioned place, with dust particles everywhere on our cutleries, waitress pulling pails of unwashed dishes here and there, houseflies flying about and also there was a wild dog chained out somewhere near my table.

The Machu temple which was situated near the sea was a rather small one, so it took us a mere 2 minutes to light the incense and pray. I enjoyed the ostrich farm visit cos' the ostrichs looked cute and there were a display of its gigantic egg and the different stages of ostrichs. I think it was rather educational and it kindda enrich me abit.

Talkative Guys:

After the Ostrich farm, we went on to Desaru Fruit Farm. Was quite a journey away and we made good use of the time to nap again. The entrance thru the farm was so narrow and they expect 2 huge coach to drive pass it. My coach driver was nice to give way to oncoming buses and ended up driving down some muddy path and the tyre got stuck. All of us got down the bus cos' it was tilting to one side and was dangerous for us to be on board. Really doesn't pay to be kind...cos' the oncoming coaches did managed to get thru but we were left there helpless. The driver tried ways to get the tyres out but to no avail. A tractor came and helped and that was when the coach finally got out of the slumps. All my fellow travelers applauded.

Upon reaching the interior of the farm, we were being explained by the local guide on the medical benefits of consuming certain fruits, plants & its leaves. Also, there was a fruit plant named "Brazilian Longan"..according to the guide, these longans can grow to a size bigger than a golf ball. Can u imagine??? Another that caught my attention was the "Thousand Bananas" which the guide said was purely for ornamental purposes, hence another name for it was "Ornamental Bananas". The tour around the fruit farm was as educational as the ostrich farm tour. Really enlightened me quite a fair bit.

Last stop before going for our dinner was a fruit mart...countless of fruits from the farm were sold @ the mart and we bought the mangoes to try it. It was really very SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had our dinner at a restaurant named "Apollo". It was a much nicer dinner affair cos' it was at an air-conditioned place with better hygience practice and the food tasted better than what we ate during lunch. After dinner, the coach drove us back to Singapore. Passed thru the Malaysia custom at about 9.10pm and was stuck in a massive jam from the Malaysia custom to Singapore Tuas custom for a good whole 2 hours. By the time, the driver stopped us at Tang Dynasty was already 11.30pm. Home Sweet Home @ 12midnite when the actual scheduled time to reach Singapore should be 9pm... :(

3 Year Anniversary Celebration :)

2005-12-14T17:18:00.000+08:00

13th of December 2005 was a memorable day for Dearie & myself cos' it's our 3 years anniversary. Time just fly passed and it's been 3 whole years of lovey-dovey as well as squabbling. Bickering and falling out at times did helped both of us understand each other better. We learnt how to accomodate and accustomed to each other's preference & living lifestyle. On the whole, it was a sweet 3 years spent with my dearie Thomas. We went for our dinner @ Gyu-Kaku @ Chijmes. It's a Japanese dining restaurant whereby diners grill the food that they order over the wood charcoal fire. The ventilation was good hence there wasn't much smoke and no splashing of oil or ash. We played the role of the chef and cooked it to suit our own liking. Had scallops, ebi, oysters, waygu premium sirloin, assorted mushroom, etc. The service was spendid and the food was good but the price was on the high end.

After meal, we drove on down to Clarke Quay for "Crazy Horse Paris". This show was first staged in at Paris then to Las Vegas and now in Singapore. We are the 1st Asian country to stage this performance. How cool!! It's called the L'Art Du Nu (Art Of The Nude) with 15 beautiful and sexy European dancers performing in it. There were about 13 dance gig and 1 magic show all happening within 90 minutes. My favourite gigs are "Beauty Boudoir, Vestal's Desire, FLY, Chain Gang, Adagio & Va Va Voom". The music's cool, the dance, effects & lightings were superb. It really took my breath away especially for the Adagio gig. The venue though was not as spacious as I thought it to be but was cosy enough and it was done up tastefully with class and the crowd was made up of about 30% caucasians and 70% executives, totaling to about 100pax for a Tuesday night. We had a very good seat despite the General Admission rule. In general, I would say that the opening of "Crazy Horse Paris" will and can add a little spice to Singapore's monotonous night life. Sorry folks, photography is not allowed within their premises so photos were taken only before going in....

Sweetie Evelyn's Birthday Celebration

2005-12-12T19:01:00.000+08:00

Had such a fun-filled weekend with my beloved friends celebrating my dear cousin Evelyn's birthday.....

Fri: Went down to Orchard to meet Sherrie first but turned out that she was already @ Orchard with Benson having their dinner at Breeks Takashimaya. So being the nice & considerate Jo, I went shopping on my own so that the 2 of them can have some quality time alone....Haha...went to my favourite boutique--LV. Bought a wallet Taiga series for my Dearie. Specially chose this design cos' I have previously bought him a namecard holder from the same series. Really matching!!! Was racking my brain as to what to buy for him for our upcoming 3 year anniversary...cos' he seemed to have everything...it was till he complained about his Gucci wallet that gave me the inspiration. The salesgal was so nice to me and brought me to where their customer service is and helped me clean up my wallet cos' there were some unknown stains on it. It was tough removing it but she was so patient helping me remove bit by bit. Now, my LV wallet looks as good as new. All thanks to this nice salesgal. Was grinning from ear to ear when I stepped out of the boutique.

After Benson left, we walked to Cineleisure to meet the rest of my sisters for our dinner. Had a quick but filling dinner and hastily walked over to PartyWorld KTV for our singing session cum Evelyn's birthday countdown. Karen, as usual was the last one to arrive but she had a very good reason this time round so we pardoned her. But poor gal, had to eat at the KTV itself as we had eaten. Was such an enjoyable night singing with all my sisters. The gals are always hogging onto the mic singing some unknown tunes, but thankfully I managed to sing about 6-7 songs for the night. Haha..this is actually considered quite alot for some1 who dun fancy singing and having to compete with the rest for the mic. Evelyn kept singing despite her lymph nodes. Hopefully, it wun aggravate her current condition. We usually will only sing Chinese songs, but we decided to break the routine and sing some English songs instead. The whole night was spent chatting, singing, fooling ard, photo taking and of cos' not forgetting to sing "Happy Birthday song" for the birthday gal.

Bought 4 gifts for Eve. She wanna a Daviddoff "Echo" perfume but we got her a Guess perfume instead. It's a newly launched fragrance and it sure smells GOOD!! 2nd gift was a bag. I have no idea what's the name/brand of the bag but Chloe told us that this bag is somehow leading the trend now..3rd gift was a magnetic bracelet cum necklace bought from Bugis Village. We had such a fun time "playing" with it and exploring the various ways to put it on, that we decided to buy it for Eve. Last gift was a cigarette pouch cos' her current pouch is so gross and dirty!!!! The colour of her old pouch was supposed to be light blue but it has turned almost into black colour...Hahaa...All presents kindly sponsored by The Sisters Gang.

Sisters @ PartyWorld On Friday For Eve's Birthday Countdown:

Our Gifts For Evelyn:

Sat: Met up Mikez for dinner at 7.15pm but the poor chap waited for me till 745pm. I was terribly late cos' I was caught in the CTE Jam and my oh my, $ just rolled on as the cab that I was in was stuck in the midst, the tailback to Cairnhill Exit started all the way from the Bukit Timah Exit..additonal of $4 was incurred due to the jam..can u imagine how long I spent in the tunnel?? Run towards the meeting place upon stepping down from the cab but my dear Mikez wasn't the least bit angry. He even got us a table @ Balcony for our dinner and was all smiles when I turned up. The ambience & service was good, the ashtray was so beautiful and the music's cool. But the dinner menu selection was a little pathetic with only few items to choose from. Mikez had the Lamb Kebab while I ordered the Baked Cheese Penne With Mushroom. Pricing wise was okay but the taste of the food was only average. My dear Mikez showed me the gift he bought for Evelyn, was a little cute ornament with a metal plate in it embossed with the word "Happy Birthday". Mikez being a nice fellow also got me a gift. It was a mint sweet with a little mirror in it. Good for gals to carry it when they go clubbing, can check on their makeup every now and then. How Sweet!! Thanks!

Romantic Dinner For 2 At Balcony:

Wasn't in time to meet the gals at Devils' entrance so Mikez and myself took a stroll along Orchard and admiring the beautiful photos positioned along Orchard Road. Ray dear spotted me and came over to say Hi. Haven't seen him for about a year, I think. Had a quick chat before bidding farewell. Goodness, it was sure a long walk from Heeren to Devil's Bar. Took us about half an hour to reach Forum to join the rest.

Photos Taken @ Forum MacDonalds Before Going To Devils:

Evelyn has gotten an Apple Black Nano from her friend Richard and some of her other pals including Alex, Andy, Adam, Iris, Richard, etc gave her an Ang Bao. The Nano was so slim unlike my IPOD but I still like my IPOD U2 Edition. Haha... :P

Sherrie, Karen, myself, Mike, Mark, Adam, Alex, Iris, Julia, Theresa and Ah Beng went to Evelyn's actual birthday bash @ Devils' Bar. Chloe wasn't able to make it cos' she went off to KL on the 10th morning to attend her relative's wedding, hence, she missed out all the fun that took place on Sat. But Chloe, not to worry cos' there heaps of photos for you to see (Eve took about 150pics with my camera). And maybe it was a good thing you were not there, cos' Evelyn was so HIGH and over the moon that she practically kissed and hugged any1 she catches of. Sherrie & karen were the most "traumatized" victims with the latter kissing lips to lips with Eve(being sabotaged by Sherrie)..Haha..I kept away from the tipsy eve and was hiding in my cosy corner playing finger guessing game with the guys..hence, I was spared from the wet kisses :p but was being forced to drink Martell on the rocks. Luckily I can hold my liquor well, else sure die. Oh ya, really enjoyed watching people do pole dancing...especially when 1 girl wearing an ultra short skirt was on the platform doing the pole dancing, she flashed in my direction, revealing her G-string. Haha....

Nice Evelyn treated us to 2 bottles of Vodka, 1 bottle of Martell & a bucket of Heineken Beer. Adam & myself "concocted" special drinks for the birthday gal. Not too sure what Adam gave Eve but I merely gave her a glass of 70% of Martell & 30% Cola. With this 2 glass, she was quite tipsy. There was also a drama of "Hp Missing In Action". She can't recall where she left it or who she left it with..so the whole lot of us search frantically. Thank goodness, Julia kept it for Eve and was in the toilet when Evelyn declared "Hp Lost"..Drunk Eve. 1st time in all these years, Karen, Sherrie & myself never puke on Eve's bday. Must be a miracle.

Without further ado, Here's the photos:

Shop Shop Shop

2005-12-08T14:18:00.000+08:00

Was out with my dear Sherrie & Chloe @ Bugis last evening to buy our dear Evelyn's birthday present. Karen couldn't make it to join us as she's busy studying for her last paper on Friday. As usual, the gals kept me waiting alone :( We sat @ Starbucks and began our "arguing" as to what to buy..haha..finally we reached a conclusion--what useful and nice gift to buy for our Evelyn within our pathetic budget. Off we went shopping around the malls as well as combing the Bugis Village. I shall not blog on what we bought cos' in case, our dear Evelyn may be reading this post before her birthday countdown on Friday and the actual partying on Saturday (Haiz....should be quite tedious on me as I'm not getting any younger). All I can say is we didn't get anything for you from your "WishList"....HAHAHA...and when we bought your gifts, 3 of us were given 2 freebies each by the salesperson and we really LOVE IT. Thanks to you...keke :P

Spent around 2 hours buying Evelyn's gift and also something for ourselves. We were so famished when we stepped into Burger King for our dinner. Chloe had some coupons for us so we saved quite alot. I must really do my sums well this month cos' I have about 5 friends whose birthday falls on this month, my brother's birthday gift, my yearly anniversary with dearie, christmas gifts, my Malaysia & Thailand vacation and lastly, to add to it all, 2 of my dear sisters' birthday happen to fall on the 1st and 2nd of January respectively (so soon after X'mas, no chance to "recuperate"). Haiz...going to burn a BIG BIG hole in my pocket these 2 months. Oh ya, not forgetting a Solemnization Ceremony that I need to attend in January. $$$$$

Benson came and joined us after our dinner. Poor chap waiting for my Dearie to come as we gals babble on the latest fashion, cosmetics, current news and etc @ Breko Cafe. But I must really comment that Benson is so smart to have brought along his PSP to keep himself occupied. Dearie came close to 11pm after attending our mutual friend's grandfather's funeral. Said goodbye around 11.30pm as we were all tired, especially Chloe. Guess, maybe it was really the "Dutch Mint Tea" that hypnotize u. Dun drink it the next time, ok? :)

Counting down to 1 more day before meeting all my dear sisters for some partying over the weekends........................................

Dinner, Icekimo & Chicken Little

2005-12-06T23:44:00.000+08:00

Was at Long House for dinner with my dearie. I reckon the very last time I set my foot on that place was about 4-5 years ago. There's alot of good food there but parking wise would be quite troublesome as there are only few lots infront of the hawker centre itself. We had the famous "Bugis St Chuen Chuen Chicken Rice". The chicken meat was tender & flavorsome and the rice was cooked to perfection. After dinner, we walked across the street to "Icekimo" for some after-meal dessert. We had 4 scoops of ice-cream sundae. This ice-cream shop was featured in some food review thingy so we went there and rackie. Wasn't too bad. I like the rum & raisin whilst dearie enjoyed the super lime flavor. But he wasn't adventurous enough to try their special flavours such as Jasmine, Dino Milo, Teh Tarik, Bandung, Nutella Hazelnut, etc.

Had a quick 15 minutes dessert and then we drove on down to Junction 8 to watch "Chicken Little". Had long wanted to watch this movie..haha..finally got the chance & time to do so. The movie was rather short, only 80 minutes but I guess that's quite the norm for cartoon/animation type of movie. The theatre was quite packed though it was a weekday and there are ALOT of children..gosh..was so rowdy and there was 1 young gal who was seated somewhere behind me that almost drove me mad cos' she kept asking her mum questions. Despite all the disturbance, I find the movie and the cartoon characters rather cute, especially Chicken Little, The Fat Piggy & Curbby(dunno how to spell, anyway it's the orange fluffy 3 eyed character). Also, there are some interesting dialogues here and there that send dearie and me laughing. A rather meaningful show cos' they emphasis on the fact-- "never to give up cos' tomorrow will be a better day". I agree wholeheartedly with this saying.

How I Wish Time Could Stop??

2005-12-04T23:57:00.000+08:00

The weekend passes so fast without realising..sometimes I wish the weekend could be longer as in more days or that time would just stop tickling by. Most of my time on Saturday was spent watching "胭脂水粉". It is a nice and latest Hongkong TV serial, set in the year 1950-60s, with the main casts running their family business selling cosmetics. The show was so thrilling that I didn't feel like going anywhere else, so was glued to the seat till about 10.30pm that I went for my late dinner @ Jalan Kayu with my dearie. I have been "addicted" to the pratas there so I would pop by every 2-3days. I am also trying hard to learn how to eat the spicy curry chicken cos' I have not been eating anything spicy since young. It's hard in the initial phase as my tummy would start acting up the moment I eat anything spicy but now I am beginning to get accustomed to it, or rather my tummy. Jalan Kayu was jam-packed with people so waited a long time for vacant seats and also for the hot-piping pratas. Had a good talk with my dearie there till about 2am.

Sunday is almost a routine for Dearie to play soccer with his friends. He picked me up afterwhich to have our lunch. Was at Amara Hotel. Wanna try some food there cos' my good friend highly recommended me a particular stall. But no luck, the stall wasn't open today. Also, wanna try the nice muffins opposite Amara but was also not opened. Haiz..was a little disappointed though (**hint** Those working near Amara and meeting me after work can always buy it for me to eat ;P). Anyway, we made do and had a simple luncheon before heading for "Raffles Photographer". Went there cos' we have finally decided on which convocation photos to blow up. Took us about a month to decide on the photos. After that, pampered my dearie by driving him down to Temple Street to have some desserts. He is such a dessert-lover. He ordered some coconut ice with mango cube kindda dessert while I watched on as I was full. He said it was good. Nothing beats seeing the smile on his face. Drove over to Bugis for a little while to do some shopping before rushing home to watch the Star Awards 2005. I took over as the driver for the entire day as Dearie is tired but damn it, all places visited except bugis have only parallel parking lots. Lucky, I am well-trained in it now, else it would be so embarrasing to adjust the car in and out with cars sounding their horns behind.

Made it right on the dot to watch Star Awards...I just somehow find the artistes more elegant than the past years. All clad in beautiful gowns and suits. Dearie & I made a bet between ourselves the night before, to guess who gets the respective awards and who will be in the top 10 for the female & male categories. The loser have to treat the other party a cup of coffee (It was a game played to spice up our boring life). In this case is my dearie cos' I've got 2 more wins than him. Haha..The focus of the night seem to be on Christopher Lee & Fann Wong. Guess, they have stolen the limelight. I also find the situation (whereby Zoe urged Christopher to pop the marriage question thingy) at that moment a little way too awkward. Also, the results for this year top 10 female category is abit unexpected with a few black horses. Never did expect that they would get into the top 10 as they are those with few productions but may be the fans were very supportive and made many calls, that's y. Found it a pity that Patricia Mok didn't get into the top 10 cos' she is quite versatile in playing the variety host. I am not a fan of hers but was sad to hear that she's been nominated for about 9 years including this year but did not for once win. But still, she appeared very gracious, which somehow won my respect.

Day Spoilt :(

2005-12-03T01:27:00.000+08:00

Was a day out meeting my good friend of 17years. She was on leave and was at Chinatown having her Spa treatment and I needed to go down to the "AAA" travel agency to pay my Bangkok trip air fares so we arranged to meet up. After settling this thailand airfare thingy from "AAA", we walked to "XXX" travel agency, nowadays there seemed to be something wrong with the customer service officers from "XXX". 2 good friends of mine wanted to join me for the Malaysia tour so she called up that specific agency earlier in the day to enquire if there were still seats available. The agency said it was full. But when I was there, they told me plenty left. Did they really check their system to see if there were seats or casually shooting their mouth off saying that there wasn't any left?? I told the female consultant that I was there to help my friend book cos' I have booked mine last week. The female consultant said ok, but I would have to pay an amendment charge of $30 to have my friends & me under the same booking, which means only then can we take the same bus, sightseeing together & have our lunch taken together. Know what, the female consultant before quoting me the amendment fee of $30 consulted a male consultant. I find that this guy is pretty problematic. He deliberately said loudly to the female consultant "of cos' there is an amendment charge lah, if you go to the supermart and buy 2 extra things, wouldn't they charge you too?" I was thinking, "Please, if we go to the supermart and needed to buy 2 extra items, shouldn't we just pay for the additional 2 items? Would the cashier demand us to pay some other surcharge on top of the 2 items??" I was seriously piss of by their attitude & service especially the male consultant. I asked the female consultant for the last time--If I were to book my friends under a separate booking, can she jot down a remark on the form saying that we wanna be on the same bus since she claimed that allocation of bus and seats have not been done yet. She said NO!! Ok, that was it!!! I left in a huff....they rather lose the opportunity to make $ for the company than to be flexible in their way of handling things.

Was so damn unhappy when I left the agency. I booked mine in another branch and I seriously think the consultants there provide much better customer service than this branch @ Chinatown. I didn't quite believe their words so I call the branch which I booked at. They replied saying that if I wanna my friends under the same booking as me(taking the same bus, eating together, etc), all I would need is to furnish them my previous booking number and pay only the travel fare as stated. She told me no such things as having to pay amendment/administration charge. I really wonder who is right and who is wrong. If the people at Chinatown is wrong, then where would the additional $30 go to?? Their own pocket????

The stupid guy really killed all my mood and spoilt my lovely day..haiz anyway, I walked over to China Square to have "Hock Lam Beef Noodles" with my dear friend, promised her to have that as our early dinner as she seemed to have some craving for it..haha. We are lovers of this beef noodle stall. I used to patronize the branch at purvis street. It was my friend who highly recommend me the main outlet. True enough, the beef is SO tender and the gravy was so good. My recommendation for beef lovers!! After dinner, we took a bus down to Orchard to shop. Both of us wanna get some X'mas gifts but just couldn't find anything ideal. So aborted the idea and was about to look for a cafe to have some nice talk when it started pouring out of the blue. Gosh, stranded in the center of Civic Plaza, so no choice we went straight in to Coffee Club @ Takashimaya. Wow, I haven't been having coffee at an air-conditioned cafe for so long. I find that this Coffee Club is very crowded and that people are talking way too loudly. Didn't really enjoy it as it was a real torture to my ears. But the slipper lobster penne was nice. Haha...my beef noodles somehow was already digested so was hungry again and I ordered that and not forgetting my favorite rosebud tea :) Yummy!!!

简简单单的一天

2005-11-30T01:10:00.000+08:00

Was a relaxing day spent watching "浪漫满屋". Friends around me have been telling me how nice and funny the show was, so I rented it cos' I missed it when it was telecast on the TV. Well, I quite enjoy the show cos' the couple in it are quite comical and their dialogue is interesting as well. I also find the show pretty romantic and touching. Dearie would watch it with me occasionally, turning his head round whilst playing his PC game. :)

William called up in the noon time asking if Dearie & me wanna have dinner together so we agreed to meet up William & his gf. It was initially a dinner affair between 4person. But Cedric & Gilbert happened to call & sms before the appointed time, so the dinner changed from the initial 4pax to 7pax. The more the merrier!! It was so nice having a big group(driving down from NSEW) eating together and besides we are all acquainted. But maybe the table & place was abit cramped & rowdy so it was hard for us to carry out a proper conversation and to ensure that nobody is left out in the process. So after dinner, we decided to change to a nearby coffeeshop(no nice nice cafe nearby, so make do with kopitiam) with a bigger table for our chit-chat session. Too bad Mr. Cedric had something on so he left right after the dinner.

It began to pour soon after we settled down so we had to talk quite loudly as the rain was quite loud & heavy. We talked about our mutual friends, the embarrassing moments of our individual boyfriends, university courses & the exemptions and the TV programs that we watched when we were kids (cos' William's gf is only 20 this year..so young!!). She is apparently the youngest among the whole lot of us and that there was a difference between her era and that of ours. Gosh, I feel so old when I am with her :( But all in all, it was nice to meet all of them, especially William & gf as I haven't seen them for a couple of months. The nite ended at around 11pm when the rain stopped and we parted at the carpark. Thank goodness, none of our car have gotten a summon as we never put enough parking coupons for the night. Haha..Maybe it was the rain that "saved" us from being FINE, as Dearie spotted some parking wardens minutes before the rain.

**News to share with those who know me..My Bangkok trip have just been confirmed by the travel agency today, so dat means I will be away again during X'mas this year ;p **

PRAY

2005-11-28T14:59:00.000+08:00

This song on my blog now is my all-time favorite and used to be a song that I would play endlessly whenever I am depressed. This song is from a soapy Korean drama serial named "秋天的童话". This show was so popular with Singaporean when it was 1st screened here many years back. I didn't watch it then but the feedback from many was so positive that I bought the Vcds home and watched. The story was so touching and it got me crying on numerous occasions whilst watching it. Emotional fellow. Haha.

My Story Of The Past:

This song reminds me of the period when I broke up with my ex-bf. I would put the song on repeat mode, sit alone by the window side & listen to it all day long, crying. The lyrics is just so meaningful that it set me pondering day & night. Also, there was 1 period during my 1st semester of studies in Australia that I would also always listen to it cos' the then me was so down & out. My ex-housemate knew I dun like to be disturbed whenever I play this song, it was as good as hanging a virtual "Enter at your own risk" door signage, so he would leave me alone and would only dare knock on my door during meal times. Tyrant Jo!!

I believe many out there who have experienced heart-wrenching love before will know how I felt. This ex-bf of mine is already a thing of the past. I know I only love my current beau. I have even confessed to my current dearie that on some occasions when I go KTV or hear this song or some other songs, it will kindda make me reminisce the past. But thankfully, my dearie was understanding enough and would tell me it's okie and that as long as when the song is over and I would move on & not mull over it. I thank GOD for giving me a chance to start things anew by sending my current beau into my arms. I really dun wish to think about the past but it's difficult to control the mind sometimes. But I can say that as this "Pray" song is playing right now, it no longer gives me the sad & excruciating pain anymore. Or when any cafes play my ex-bf's favorite tunes, I would just smile to myself and just tell myself "hey, this song is nice", instead of labeling it as his favorite. I think it was my dearie's support that I could face all these bravely.

Anyway, my ex-bf have turned into my confidant and is pretty much enjoying his life. I can tell that he is much happier than he was previously cos he loves freedom. Glad to see him move on happily with life. Sometimes when we meet up, we would also talked about the past but both of us have a clear stand in our hearts and would just laugh at those stupid things/words we would do/say when we were young, or talked about his new "target" with me giving him advise on how to woo them or as to what gifts to buy, sometimes it would be his turn to counsel me certain things with regards to my dearie. It's not easy to remain as friends after the breakup which not a lot of people can do it but we managed to and we are very pleased with this status instead of our past boy/galfriend status in the past.

**I guess my guardian angel is watching over me, giving me the best in life--A luxurious life, close groups of buddies & confidants, supportive & caring Mummy and of cos' my lovely dearie.**

曲名：祈祷歌手：蓝色生死恋

猜想你的心要离开我
是怕我爱的太累才给的理由吗？
即使这疏远的理由
要流逝一天的光阴也无所谓
因为无论你身在何方
我相信这就是爱
望着你注视我的眼神
连你那小小的肩膀我都无法拥你入怀
我曾恨这样的自己

wo.........

你对我露出的微笑我能体会这就是幸福
你可以再靠近我一点即使逃不过悲情命运安排使我们分离
我不会让你的心流泪你无可取替
现在起没有比你更重要的东西

在这一瞬间让我来感受到你

你对我露出的微笑我能体会这就是幸福
你可以再靠近我一点
在这一瞬间让我来感受到你

即使逃不过悲情命运安排使我们分离
我不会让你的心流泪你无可取替
现在起没有比你更重要的东西

愉快的周末

2005-11-28T02:05:00.000+08:00

1st of all, wanna congrat my Dearie(if you are reading this) for playing much better in your competition last Saturday. Though not as good as some of your business counterparts, but there were tremendous improvement in your score and skills, so dun ever give up golf, alrite. Believe in yourself and what's more important is to make more effort to hone your skills by setting more time aside for this sport.

My weary Dearie reached Singapore around evening and had a quick rest before watching "杀破狼" with me. My views on this show -- for the benefit of those who have yet to catch it in the theatres & wanna some feedbacks are, it is an utterly brutal show with heaps of violent killing acts, about 2 seconds of nudity scene in it, blood splashing everywhere..etc. But all in all, the show is pretty interesting and I quite enjoy the show though the pace could be a little bit slow @ times. But the price of $9.50 per ticket to watch my 2nd IDOL "Simon Yan" is well worth it ;P

Had a good rest till about 2pm. Can't laze around any further cos' my mum have prepared lunch for Dearie & myself, and that my uncle was @ my house for a visit. Dun wish to be rude by staying in my room, so had a chat with him. After which, went to CS to book for my 1 day Malaysia getaway. Haha..cheap & quick getaway in December with my 2 beloved "bodyguards"..Afterwhich, we drove down to Expo for Sitex fair. Gosh, the traffic was very bad though it was the last day of the fair, and there were just so many vehicles illegally parked outside the MRT Station. But lucky for us, there was no problem finding a carpark lot. I expected the Sitex fair to be jam-packed with people,especially guys..but I somehow feel that the crowd is not as much as the previous Sitex fair. Maybe the crowd was drawn away by "Big Boyz Toyz".

Anyway, Dearie & I walked about to search for "Dopod". He was so so ecstatic when he saw Harvey Norman selling it. Dearie got himself a "Dopod 838" and was given some freebies as part of their promotion. He's been eyeing on this gadget for such a long time and have been bombarding Benson for the specs & functions, since Sept, I think. But this thingy is so damn expensive man!!! With this amount, I could have gone to Korea/Japan for some 5-7days escapade :( Haiz..what to do, he really love it. He took quite so time deciding & testing the gadget out so it was quite late when we came out from Sitex so we didn't wanna waste the $ to go in "Big Boyz Toyz" for just an hour :( Didn't managed to catch "Zathura" due to time constraint, but nevermind there's bound to be an opportunity.

Met up with dear Sherrie sis & Benson after our dinner for a cuppa coffee @ our usual haunt-JB Kopitiam. Upon reaching, Dearie & I then realised that Benson had changed his O2 mini to Dopod. His Dopod is just 1 week old. Same model as Dearie somemore!! Hence, they yak the whole night, discussing about their new Dopod. It was so sweet & kind of Benson to guide dearie along as to how to configure this & that and helped to paste the screen protector for Dearie's Dopod. On the other hand, Sherrie & myself also wasted no time in sharing gossips and updating each other of recent happenings. Hahaha....

Home Sweet Home @ 1230am...... :)

Friday Nite Is The Nite...

2005-11-26T01:50:00.000+08:00

Just came back home an hour ago..dun really feel like sleeping though I am very tired. So I tot maybe just blog for a little while before catching my beauty sleep. Was out with Dearie & Keith for dinner, which was a "Kueh Chap" meal @ Toa Payoh Lorong 3. Oh my goodness, this stall serves very very delicious "kueh Chap" but the queue is so long. So it takes a little patience on your part before u can taste the goodness of it. Most important of all is it's CHEAP for the HUGE portion that we ordered. Loved it and have been craving for it since my last visit there which was about a month back. After the dinner, proceeded to "WineFlair @ Thomson" for our drinking session. Drank a bottle only unlike the previous time @ "The WineNetwork" where we had 3 bottles. Gosh, Keith was so high then..lesson learnt is dun ever let my dear Keith drink too much. If you let him drink, you'll have to bear the consequences...haha..

Coming back to the topic of "WineFlair @ Thomson"..it was our 1st visit there. I quite like the place, small & cosy, with a pool table for the guests to have some fun and not forgetting that there's a big projector screen that telecast soccer, golf, wrestling, etc. The handsome waiter & pretty waitress are very friendly and very efficient in terms of service. The wine is not expensive at all and there is quite a range to choose from. Besides that, there was this caucasian male singer and local female young pianist on the stage performing live for the guests. They sung lively ballads that will melt your heart. Was such a lovely night, just chilling out on the sofa, sipping our red wine and listening to the male singer singing the song that Keith dedicated "Love Me"-Colin Raye.

But sadly, we got to end the night young cos my dearie needs to wake up @ 5am to prepare and leave for Malaysia for his competition. What's up for the weekend?? My dearie promised to watch the Chinese movie "杀破狼" with me tomorrow midnight. Sun?? Most probably we will drop by Sitex to buy something as well as to "Big Boyz Toyz", that is if we can wake up in time to go both. And if time permits, really hope to catch "Zathura" as well..heard it's good, nicer & much more exciting than "Jumanji". I guess this weekend will be a fruitful one, unlike the past few weekends where I would hole up @ home with friends playing mahjong. I'll be back soon to blog on the review of the movie as well as the exhibitions.

Going off to sleep soon cos' I need to make a trip down to Chinatown tomorrow to settle some issues, hopefully can reach there and settle it before late noon.

**The person involved dun wanna accompany me, rather hibernate @ home and be a couch potato. You noe who you are :(**

Just Some Thoughts...

Heard a story about a friend's friend and this set me thinking about it the whole nite:

Let's call the gal Miss X. Here's how the story goes:

"Miss X is attached to a guy named Mr Y. On one occasion, Miss X went clubbing with her good friend, Mr Z when Mr Y was not around. Miss X got abit tipsy after several rounds of drinks and soon danced intimately, involving body to body contact with Mr Z. Miss X always knew Mr Y dun like the way she danced or behaved after drinking so there was simply no chance till this time round Mr Y was not around."

Why set me thinking was, why would Miss X wanna behave like this knowing beforehand that her beloved bf Mr Y wun like it? Did she ever ponder/care for a moment how it would have felt on her part if Mr. Y did the same, as in flirting around, dancing intimately with other gals on the pretext of being under the influence of alcohol? Why didn't Mr. Z keep a distance from her knowing that Miss X was attached? Was Mr Y on Miss X's mind when she behaved like this? Does Mr. Z ever think it was morally wrong to behave so closely with Miss X? Why couldn't Mr. Z just sit with Miss X by the side till she is sober and then send her back? Did Mr. Z also enjoy the 'dirty dance' with Miss X that's why he couldn't practise self-restraint??

There were just so many questions running through my mind when I first heard the story from a friend. Probably in Miss X's story..Miss X & Mr. Z will have an excuse(that they're drunk) to be pardon by Mr. Y if he happen to stumble upon them right at the pub itself. Or if Miss X chose to keep this 'flirting incident' from Mr. Y, would he ever learnt the truth?? I dun think so. Miss X could have got away with it for many many times, with Mr. Y being kept in the dark until an indefinite time. But I seriously felt it's so unfair to Mr. Y...cos' nobody enjoy being deceived or kept in the dark, especially by their loved ones.

Many people just dunno how to appreciate the goodness of their beloved till they lose them. Humans tend to regret after losing...why? Why can't they just behave themselves knowing that they're already attached. To me, singles are allowed this privilege but people with boyfriends/galfriends need to somehow restraint their behaviors in certain ways. It is only fair to the other party and it's a responsibility on your part to be commited to just 1 person, not to all the guys u meet..

Many friends around me often mistake me to be very open & liberal. But in actual fact I am not quite. I can be a stick-in-the-mud @ times. I really can't understand why would people do things to hurt their loved ones. I strongly believe in retribution as I always tell my friends. What comes round really goes around. As far as this matter is concern, I can never ever be like Miss X.

What's Up On Wed & Thurs??

2005-11-24T16:27:00.000+08:00

Met up with my 2 beloved "K" for dinner last nite @ Bugis. It's my dear Karen & dear Keith. Didn't expect to see my beloved sis so soon after last Friday's gathering. After dinner, we proceeded to "Breko", a cafe that my sisters & I usually hang out at if we meet @ Bugis. Reason for this meet up is my dear Karen will soon be having her exams and she's having some problems with some accounts topics, and that the only person that can solve her course-related queries is my dear Keith. Karen's currently pursuing her "CATS" & the latter is taking his "ACCA". Sorry sis, the knowledge I have in accounts is too superficial, can't help u much in this aspect, so the least I could help is to find u a tutor. My dear Keith specially fork out time to teach Karen some "cash equivalent" & "ratio" related questions. Thanks my dear for helping my sister out. They had a great time together exchanging pointers and chatting about other irrelevant topics. Haha, especially the topic of "whiteness", that sent us gals laughing our heads off. When they were in the "serious mode", I felt so redundant there cos' I dun really understand what they are saying, so went to shop ard bugis village on my own, less than 20mins, and I alrdy bought 2 stuffs. Haha..fast & efficient shopper ah ;P

Dearie came down to meet us after his dinner and to send me back home(In the end, I ended up as the chauffeur instead, my dearie was sleeping throughout the journey..sigh). Upon reaching the cafe, dear ordered a cuppa Expresso and then read "CarMa" but minutes later, he was so tired that he doze off @ the cafe itself...Sigh..as usual. Karen even commented that my dearie could sleep @ anywhere @ anytime. Karen is envious cos she's having some problem sleeping well lately. Guess, her mind is too preoccupied with heaps of problems to be solve. Relax sis, cos there's sure to be a way out for every single problem. Take things a step @ a time. Most important thing now is to focus on your upcoming exams. Leave the rest aside, ok...

Thursday nite have always been my dearie's weekly golf practicing session with his client. Today's no exception. He's going to the golf range with his client later on. Dearie "加油"!! Tonite's golf session is important to him cos it's going to be the last practice session before his competition this Saturday. If he can play well tonite, it will definitely be a great booster to his confidence level for his upcoming competition. He will be heading off to Malaysia for his competition with his business counterparts. Hopefully, he can play much better than the previous round. So tonite is my "off-day", I will be meeting my "part-time"(best counseling buddy) for coffee cum counseling session cos I have been feeling quite vex lately. Badly in need of someone to give me some advice :(

Never Be Replaced

2005-11-23T16:53:00.000+08:00

Love this song to every bit...It's such a sweet and meaningful song. Hence, I would love to dedicate it to my loved one, My dearie.....

Never Be Replaced

[Chorus]

Baby I love you and I'll never let you go

But if I have to boy I think that you should know

All the love we make can never be erase

And I promise you that you will never be replaced

Baby I love you and I'll never let you go

But if I have to boy I think that you should know

All the love we make can never be erase

And I promise you that you will never be replaced

I love you yes I do

I'll be with you as long as you want me too

Until the end of time

From the day I met you

I know we've be together

And now I know I wanna be with you forever

I wanna marry you and I wanna have your kids

Thinking never compare to feel enough to kisses

I can say I'm truly happy to the same

You've made me think I'll die and live my life hesitate

There's never been no doubt in my mind

That I'll regret ever having you by my side

But if the day come that I'll have to let you go

I think that something I should probably let you know

With everything that I spent with you

Then I will miss you cuz I'm happy that I have you at all

[Repeat Chorus]

I feel for you yes I do

I'll be with you as long as you want me to

Until the end of time
