Chinese New Year

2009-01-18T20:52:00.004+08:00

Been reallie busy these few weeks with CNY stuff... Went to Tunglok and ordered the Treasure Bowl aka Pen Cai (It comes with 13 ingredients: Fresh Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Golden Oysters, Scallops, Prawns, Pork Shanks, Pig Tongues, Bai Ling Mushroom, Shiitake Mushrooms, Black Moss, Bean Dough, White Radish and Baby Cabbage). Got their trio special, which consists of the above plus Prosperity Yu Sheng, Sakura Chicken w Sesame and free glutinous rice!

Also redeemed my credit cards reward points for Pipa Duck... n also Yu Sheng w smoked salmon. The latter will be for my pre-CNY reunion dinner...

Went to Chinatown n bought several CNY deco as well as ordered the super delicious Pineapple tarts (we ordered before xmas and the delivery is alreadi full!! so we had decided to collect at Tanjong Pagar mrt exchange). Wanted to buy last year but there were no more stocks... so this year, I decided to call them early to order but I guess it is not early enuf... super hot. Got to order even earlier next year.. haha...

Hypothyroidism

2009-01-18T02:13:00.002+08:00

Just got the results of my body check-up and I have got hypthroidism.... need to be on medication for 6 weeks (doctor says a low dosage for now) and got to take another blood test to see if the medication can control it. Sigh... depressed... now I am not sure whether it is the thyroid that is causing me to be depress or am I reallie depressed (w/o the thyriod affecting my mood)

Doc says it might be hereditary but none of my family has it/I am aware of ... well then, it is better to get it under control now with medication. The symptoms sound scary: Impaired cognitive function (brain fog) and inattentiveness, hair loss and premature wrinkling on the face!!! oh my god... I don't want these...

But hey, about 3% of the general population has it and I am one of the "lucky" 3%! Even Oprah Winfrey has it... so ain't I lucky? Sigh...

Dozo

2009-01-17T01:21:00.013+08:00

Finally I have found the right place for this year's birthday celebration! It is @ Dozo. Near our house, at Valley Point. They serve Japanese and French fusion food. Had called earlier to reserve the table and it has a nice view by the window. Love the lights that changes it colour ver few seconds, creating a nice and romantic atmosphere.

The dinner is a seven course dinner. My fav is of coz the main course, beef tt I can grill on the hot stone! They also serve green tea infused with all kinds of berries, cannot get enuf of tt. The appetizer is quite disappointing for me coz I onli like the scallop and the smoked salmon is normal (scallop, foie gras and smoked salmon). We had sashimi platter, king alaskan crab, escargot and mushroom for starters, mushroom and Kun-bu soup and panna cotta, warm chocolate cake and cold fruits-infused tea for desserts.

After our main course, we had our desserts and drinks at the lounge with the running water in the background. Nice. Though the super huge "Fu" CNY deco spoils the mood at the lounge (:P)

Overall, nice atmosphere for a romantic dinner. Like their plate presentation. Service staff are very friendly though the other guests are rather rowdy (maybe coz it is a friday nite and there are several big groups). Call in advance to inform them you are celebrating birthday and they even gave us a cheesecake and candle (very thoughtful).

Boys' Day Out

2009-01-08T21:59:00.015+08:00

Bought a pair of matching blue Chinese New Year outfit for my boys at the ASD's event @ West Coast Park Dog Run. The outfit for the females are super cute. It comes with a mini skirt. Very Nice-too bad they are boys... Nonetheless, they remind me of Tissue Box when they put on the CNY outfit! Ha... Pui already has a black and gold CNY outfit but Paco does not have any, that was why we bought another CNY outfit for Pui :)

I like Paco's Xmas outfit.. he looks cool in that... ha... it used to belong to Pui but he has grown too fat to wear it... Luckily the Doggy Hotter still fits though it is a little tight at his waist... It used to be rather loose.... Time to get them more outfits! More shopping!

Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai

2008-12-31T15:55:00.003+08:00

Yesterday we had a super good dinner at Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai.

We ordered a set dinner that consists of stewed pork belly and bittergourd. The pork belly simply melts in your mouth (though can see the fats... but still very soft). This set comes with the purple sweet potato ice-cream-very yummy...

The other set is the soba w seaweed and okinawa seasoned rice. The soba is very chewy but the rice is rather disappointing (a bit like the pumpkin mushroom rice that we cooked last sunday). It also comes w the okinawa fried donut-a bit dry for my liking. It also comes w pork rib and pork belly but not as soft as the first set.

Both sets come with this peanut tofu (which is cold n comes w sweet sauce)-I like it very much, highly recommended.

The deco is very old school (wooden planks and old posters and photographs). The service staffs dun reallie understand english (guess they are japanese bah :P) coz when we said she can clear the tray, she walk away to clear the other table. haha.

Overall, highly recommended.

Old Times

2008-12-30T13:45:00.002+08:00

Met up with a few of KPMG pple these few weeks. Discussing about our old days and how time flies.. been 5 years since I joined KPMG... How we worked through the night for some special audit and how our late nites always end up with much fun n laughter... n the challenge of who is the winner (the one who stayed the latest) - n we even had macdonalds breakfast at 4am in our office on the 3rd level of Hong Leong building... haha.. those were the fun days.

Somehow I miss those days even though there were many late nites and weekends spent in office... I guess it is the people that makes the difference.

Xmas Party

2008-12-29T12:43:00.001+08:00

My landlord organise a Xmas party on Xmas day-plus we do not have to do any cooking... coz we have our super domestic helper & of coz the party organiser (i.e. landlord) who are in-charge of the cooking ...hahaa...

We had a roast chicken, wholemeal pasta, salad, meatballs w cranberry sauce and pita bread pizza. Too much food and in the end, almost the whole chicken was fed to my 2 boys.. haha... lucky them...

Had a wonderful time catching up w friends n relatives.. esp char... been almost a year or more since we last met... my new year resolution: spend more time w friends!

Food Pics... the portion of the set dinner is reallie small.. think of fine dining... ha... but the quality of the food is reallie good. Well, so small that we went to eat Zi Char afterthat... waste money.

Nonetheless, we decided to go back again to try the buffet lunch (coz Cleo passed her exams!! ha... of coz it is her treat.) The portion has significantly increased and we had like almost 20 dishes over 3 hours... We tried a variety of stuff like duck's tongue, pig ears n red chee chong fun!!

I even brought my parents back for another buffet lunch to celebrate my mum's birthday... they are rather pleased with the food.. esp mummy, coz she doesn't like buffet but not this... maybe coz they are traditional folks so they prefer chinese cuisine more than western fare. Bro loves the crispy skin duck, he even had 2 plates of it (1 whole plate by himself)

Memories came flooding back of the good old times... this was where the 6 of us met and became good frenz (ok... 7 including the onli boy with us today... mr G.teo who asked whether I am having my cramps/cold/hair pain today) ha.... too bad one of us has chicken pox and could not turn up...

Got great updates and catching up done with everyone.. by the way, we are meeting again!! for Yu Sheng! 17 Feb 08 (Lunar 11th day-as per wat Sharon has repeatedly informed us) Fantastic! Hope the hair on my arms do not get swollen again... hor?? haha...

My First Car-Honda Jazz

2007-12-28T18:30:00.000+08:00

http://www.honda.com.sg/jazz.htm

Finally bought my first car!!! Honda Jazz... :) so excited but we can only collect it in March/April 08... such a long wait... coz the workshop is full due to CNY. Sigh...

Anywayz, compared 2 other cars before we decided on this. Went to take a look at Mitsubishi Lancer and Toyota Vios. Like Jazz the best coz of its fuel efficiency and not so "Ah Pek" looking-:P. Actually before I went to the showroom, I was quite against hatch-backs coz of the small boot space but the Jazz boot space is huge (compared to Picanto-ha) so well, and of coz the interest rate is the lowest among the 3 dealers.

Hope this is a right choice. Excited!

Inefficiency

2007-11-27T16:21:00.000+08:00

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?"

Finally, we are going to apply for CA 1st module... MAA.. part of the entry requirements is to submit our academic qualifications, (wait a minute..din we submit them during the qualifications assessment???)- called the local CA contact person in Singapore and she said that coz different department so must re-submit again!! how inefficient and waste of resources... we got to re-zap everything again and make our way down to FKT to get it certified as a true copy and mail the whole set to them again!! how silly...

That is why we have no more energy to attempt anything... coz we got to re-do everything!! How encouraging ... Ha...

New Phone

2007-10-17T08:48:00.001+08:00

Bought my new phone! Nokia 6500c-sleek black phone!! but spoilt on the 2nd day!! went to repair and they change the LCD screen.. apparently it has been spoilt during shipment or is it becoz Pui boy sat on it? hmmm.. haha.. watever... glad tt it is fine now... not very used to the buttons but overall I like it.. ha...

San Francisco

2007-10-17T08:08:00.000+08:00

I am at work at 730am!!! why? Coz have to fit into babes' schedule-have to be at work at 8am!! and shuttle bus from jurong east is at either 710 or 725!!! damn early... used to wake up at 8am!! now I wake up at 630... no one in office so can have my breakfast and update blog...

Am back from SF-this is the 3rd week at work. Love SF to bits... bought the 3 day Muni Pass so I can take the cable cars and buses to tour around SF.. Fun... been to lotsa places beside SF.

First it is to Yosemite (Super winding road up the mountains and all we get is---- a little tiny waterfall called the bridal veil or sth like tt- of coz not as spectacular as Niagara waterfall but hey it is one of the most visited nature park in US!!)

Day two is up to Las Vegas!! Stayed at this hotel off The Strip right next to the Fremont Experience Street-never been to this part of LV coz the other time, we stayed on The Strip. Only dared to play slots and won $2!! haha... got ourselves lotsa free bead necklaces!! haha...

Day three is to Grand Canyon- the view is so much nicer than Yosemite- it is really amazing what nature can do! Love the view - reallie nice and you need to experience it yourself to know how it feels. Din know tt I will enjoy nature parks tt much coz at first I was really skeptical about going to nature parks. Ha... on the way back, we dropped by Hoover Dam- I rem the night view was much nicer...

Day 4 is to Los Angeles, where we have like 45 mins to visit the usual Chinese Theater etc-been here before with TY so it was rather boring coz there is nothing new...

Day 5 and 6 is to Mexico-Tijuana. Tijuana is more like run down Bangkok and we went to a place where there is a little spring tt sprouts water... boring!!! Nonetheless, we had our own Mojito at a local pub. Like the beer too-Sol-nice!!

Day 7 is on way back to SF - and we visited this Danish town -Solvang.

Overall-Love the place!! Good Trip!!

Bro's Bdae @ Botak Jones

2007-09-09T17:54:00.000+08:00

Celebrated my Bro's Bdae at Botak Jones-AMK ave 5 today during lunch. We had a late lunch at about 2 plus coz dun wanna wait for a long time for the food.

Dad ordered 4 main courses and a salad. Ceasar Salad w chicken, Cajun Chicken, Fish n Chips (large portion), Lamp Chop and Steak (300grams).

Each of the main course came with loads of fries and coleslaw. The Chicken was topped w loads of cheese and I love the cajun seasoning... The steak was medium well done, so looks rather bloody but it was rather juicy and tender-n it was more than 1 inch thick!! The lamb chop taste like lamb, dun like it but dad likes it a lot. Fish n chips was rather disappointing coz the batter was a bit thick, though the fish is not smelly. The salad was normal but I like the chicken pieces...

It cost us $59 and we could not finish the fries coz the portion was huge! We waited for about 20 minutes and my dad said their service is excellent! :)

Bro bought a new LG prada Phone and his fren gave him a prada wallet for his birthday! Hope the phone last... haha.. :) Happy Birthday!!

2007-09-08T23:39:00.001+08:00

Met up with the gals last nite-we went to Jumbo at Riverside Point...it was reallie packed...

We had 2 chilli crabs, cereal prawns, venison w ginger n garlic and kang kong w sambal chilli... n we had 2 fried buns each! We were damn full after dinner... so we decided to go for Ice Cream!! haha ... so weird rite?

When auntie took our order, she asked if we wanted to have the shell peeled? n Yunni asked whether the shells are peeled after or before the frying? ... such an odd question... but it is so Yunni to ask.. ha...

Anywayz, we took a walk around clarke quay n wanna to go to TCC but saw the queue and decided against it. Walked on and found a little italian place which serves ice-cream..

Yunni n JT ordered chocolate ice-cream, Zhen order Rum n Raisin and I ordered Lost in the Woods (mainly my fav strawberry ice cream and yogurt!) .. we stayed till about midnight.. n just talked n talked.. Yunni as usual laughed and talked till she teared... n of coz, always abt Brian...

We are going to celebrate our 10-yr friendship on New Yr's Eve this year... going to find a hotel room (yunni's responsibility) and don our VJ uniform!! damn... i dun think i can fit into it lor.. n dunno where it is alreadi... haha.. :P Hope it will be fun!!!!

Seems like there are a few pple alreadi on Facebook... n found my Primary Sch fren on it too... n everyone is in so many different parts of the world now... got their recent updates from their profile ... everyone seems to be doing so well.. Happy for everyone! :)

Poem-Proposal

2007-09-06T14:08:00.000+08:00

What I want to ask of you is this,
If I can find the nerve to make the leap:
Life scatters dreams across the hills of sleep,

Lest we be too easy in our bliss.

Yet I am aware what I might miss.
Only what we treasure can we keep,
Ultimately sowing what we reap,

Modeling a world upon a kiss.
And so I must reveal to you my heart,
Recalling all my courage from its rest,
Ready for whatever word might be.
You are all the object of my quest,

My cynosure, my life, my other part.
Each line of this begins my urgent plea.

Poem tt Mr Soh used for his romantic proposal-so sweet... the clue is in the last line as well as the "ready for whatever word might be"...

The Bar & Billard Room-Mama's Farewell

2007-08-31T22:40:00.000+08:00

Held Mama's farewell today and Ah Li Wee came! after not seeing her about 1 whole month-she has slim down! so my conclusion is that we eat too much at work! hahaha... she is still in pain... so poor thing...

We bought Mama's a Celine scarf that is silk on one side and cashmere on the other!! It costs us $430 ... haha.. which Boss had to pay the majority share of it! :P $80 only..not too much for boss lor.. haha... :P I love the scarf and it reallie suits Mama... totally her style! We love the leather gloves too but it is $550. Mindy bought a set of cook books for mama- reallie good coz it is foolproof (mama cannot cook).. haha...

Mama is going to Luxembourg with hubby and little mama in the middle of next month... hee.. he is reallie cute and shy! :) envy Mama-can be full time housewife cum tai tai. When will it be my turn?

Had a long 3 hours lunch at Raffles Hotel, The Bar and Billard Room... we had the choice of either going to The Line or Billard Room and most of us voted for this coz most of us have not been there before.

The selection is not as wide as The Line but I love the starters here... they have Kosh Kosh!! I love Kosh Kosh-had it for the first time at Femi's place and it was yummy.. maybe I was hungry and cold then.. (hmm Jili was still around then..rem keeping her warm n cosy inside my jacket during the ride home) :)

The almond and pumpkin salad, lobster pancake and lobster starter are equally yummy too... and they have the usual cold starters (oysters - which I never dare to try... prawns, sashimi etc). The main course theme is Mediterranean food... have many different kinds of meat hmm but the selection is not too impressive though.. haha... coz I am not reallie a meat person. But they have ratatouille!!

According to http://dictionary.reference.com : Ratatouille is a vegetable stew of Provence, typically consisting of eggplant, zucchini, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and garlic, served hot or cold. ... hmmm... now I know.

Desserts are nice too.. but I think The Line's presentation of food is better than Billard Room ... but they dun have my fav bread and butter pudding... :( ...so no brownie points for both! Ha..:P

Post pic next time!

Went to catch this movie last Friday...hmm reason? coz got ShuQi n Daniel Wu? Eye candies!!

Some lines are rather crappy but she just burst out laughing at the most inappropriate times.. think some of the ah bengs in the cinema must be wanting to silence us ... ha..

Anywayz, overall, this is just a show w ShuQi (skimpily dressed!!) and Daniel Wu.. with lotsa of gun shots and killing pple to get to the top of the gangster world in old Shanghai... same old plot ..... with guys fighting over the girl... brothers turning against each other etc etc ...

Shows that I wanna catch next: Ratatouille, Home Song Stories, No reservations and 1408 :)

Cars

2007-08-28T20:03:00.000+08:00

Went to the showroom with Cleo the last weekend. Cleo bought a Mitsubshi Lancer for 45k... monthly instalment is about $480 and insurance comes up to 1900 odd for her age group and half yr road tax free, upfront booking fee is about $3K.. plus she topped about 1.5k for the leather seats and sports rim. Manual though......This model is a rather old model but one of the cheapest among the ones we saw and like this weekend.

Vios is about 54K and Altis is about 59K. But Altis interior is ugly looking... so uncle.. coz it is brown interior.. yucks!!

Like the Subaru impreza - $54K for auto... but seems like it is high in fuel consumption so not efficient in cost saving esp in Jammy Singapore... and we live so far apart so not worth it to get one which is high in fuel consumption...

Maybe we can save another yr and get Honda Civic 1.6 - think it is about 65K .. hope it is more worth it.. did not go to the Honda showroom though... or Mazda? hmm so many choices-dun reallie know which one to pick. How? When is a good time to buy? hmmm

1 Year with Macquarie

2007-08-28T19:49:00.000+08:00

Today marks the one yr I have joined Macquarie... whao.. time flies.. I rem the first day I was wondering how my colleagues will be and feeling rather worried and flustered coz I was a bit late. Den Ah Li Wee came to pick me on the 11th Floor and started introducing me to everyone.

During lunch, they all left me alone to eat by myself coz they had appointment and I rem telling myself "hmm...how nice" "roll eyes". Anyways, had lunch with KP pple and boss asked who I had lunch with... ha...

At about 4pm, I left work to go home to pick up my luggage before I head to the Airport to have my 2 weeks training in Hong Kong... very exciting.. First time to HK and had to figure out my way around... ha... it was rather fun... esp when everyone seems to be speaking in a strange language tt I tried so hard to listen to ... I think I am now better in Cantonese after the HK trip..haha...

HK is fun coz the shopping and food places close reallie late like abt 11 to 12... not like Singapore where places close at 9pm!!! Din reallie try the Tea House coz dun dare to go in.. had a lot of good food coz reimbursable ... :P wish I can charge my shopping to the company too...

Brought back a lot of bird nest mooncake and lao po bing...:) I went to Macau too and went to the casino and was apalled by the behaviour of some pple of some nationality.. :P so rude and yucky... Only dared to play the computerised roulette and jackpot coz I am afraid tt the pple will throw their cards on me.. :P

One year with Macquarie-I have completed my conversion course and delaying the CA Course till next yr coz Babe is coming back so thinking of spending more time together and it will prob be another rush to get the texts and stuff so delay it a bit. Laze around a bit more. :)

Other than tt, I knew a lot of new colleagues and had a lot of fun with all of them..they are a fun bunch to work with. Learnt a lot abt trading ledger and prob thinking what can I learn next?? :) exciting yr ahead... and when is bonus?? haha...

Just saw a link on my google ad for this thingy called: Diaper Cake? What the...... is that? It looks like a normal cake at first glance.. but when u enlarge the picture, the whole cake is "made of diapers! ... gosh.. so amazing.. but it is a great gift for mummy and babies..it doesn't come cheap though.. about USD68 for a small size one... rather cute.. I wonder if we have this in Singapore...

Farewell @ Minbu Villa

2007-08-05T20:39:00.000+08:00

Went to Pam's grandma's place today for the farewell gathering for Pam n Kev... Two lucky pple going away for secondment.. Pam is going to Virginia, US while Kev is going UK... will miss the two of u... :) Have a good secondment!

I made cheesecake for the gathering, Pam made her ching teng, while Kev made Popiah... my cheesecake turns out to be too frozen... coz I left it in the freezer the nite before (was afraid tt it will not solidify.... ha...) anyway, comments are tt it is too hard.. taste like agar-agar and not too bad... ha... the last one is added by moi... heehee... But afterwards when I brought the leftover home, it reallie does not taste as bad ... ha.. poor Kev had to eat 1 and 1/2 piece coz the he lost the Uno Stacko game.. :P .. it is not tt tt tt tt bad rite?

The rest bought foods; durian strudel (yucky), sotong balls, chicken wings, curry puff and polar stuff... :) It turns out to be Fed's bdae tomorrow!! so they bought a cake for him too.. so sweet... think Fed's bdae cake is hotter than my cheesecake.. so sad... :(

Love to play w boy-boy... he is so cute... love his little dimple n his long eye-lashes... even if he just had durian strudel... :P... shantel is too young to play but she looks very adorable in the big rocking chair... snapped a lot of pics of the babies ...think my parents took a pic of me in a rocking chair half naked when I was a baby.. wonder where is tt photo?.. :)

Fights

2007-08-05T17:39:00.000+08:00

Had a huge fight last nite again...Was already determined to let go but you said to give u one last chance....Chances... wonder how many times have u said tt before..

Sometimes I just wonder why am I still holding on... sometimes I dun have a single doubt in us... Sometimes...

Maybe I was not part of wat u went thru for the last 18 months... it is true.. but u were also not part of wat I went thru the last 18 months... I had a new job, I went to HK and stuff happened to my family.. u were not here for me too... Yes, u had to face a new environment, a new culture, a new country and with Jili passing... and yes, I was not part of all tt ... but so weren't u...

Loving u is not easy... Getting u to love me is even more difficult...

Random Thoughts about You....

2007-08-04T20:39:00.000+08:00

I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you.

Almost our 5 yrs anniversay, it is always so coincidental tt u are away on the day we met... for the third time now... is it fate that brought us together on tt day tt we met? ... or is it god's way of telling us to treasure each other coz it is not everyday tt we get to see each other?

I think i have grown stronger n more independent these 18 months... coz I learnt how to take care of myself again...before tt u have been always there helpin me along the way without me being aware of it.. now for these 18 months... I have learnt more about myself, you, my family...

I am happy coz u r coming back... but I wonder how it will be like... how will my days be? I cannot rem how is it like when u are in Singapore, I wonder how will I cope with work... I am anxious... n excited... I wish the day will come faster... :) been always thinkin of taking the plane ride w u back to Singapore ... it is reallie going to happen... I feel like I am in a dream...

Geylang Claypot Rice

2007-07-30T19:42:00.000+08:00

Had the famous Geylang Claypot Rice with Pammy, Kev n Tara.. It was good but I prefer the one at Chinatown.. The one owned by the old auntie and uncle..pity they did not move to the make-shift one at outram when I went there the other time... Only had it once coz old auntie n uncle closes rather early... Shld be during one of the "mc" days that I went.. :) Yummmmmyy...

Love the dishes we had at the Geylang Claypot Rice.. Think they are much nicer than the normal ZeChar stores ... we had the lotus root duck (which is ok onli), the french bean (which is fantastic!! crunchy!!) and the prawn beancurd (the beancurd is super super soft-a must try).. last of all we have oh-nee n ginko nut for dessert... Tot it was rather exp for the meal .. think it cost about 70 over for 4 person... but it is worth the try!! Must call in advance so dun have to wait!! heehee...

Batam

2007-07-30T19:24:00.000+08:00

Went to Batam View Resort on 21 Jul 07 with the few old pple (i.e zl n hl, fed, kev, yc and pam).. too bad it rained on the very first day and there was no sun! ... wanna have a tan but too bad... at least I tried the Jetski...Love the speed and freedom that you have... but scared later I kill Pam so never reallie speed to the max.. hahaa.. Wanted to try wake-boarding but the boat can onli take 3 pple, so hl, kev n pam went... Must try the next time!

The dinner was fantastic... with black pepper crab, tom yam soup, calamari, beancurd pot, sweet n sour fish, veggie and chicken.. onli the chicken is disappointing, the rest are fantastic... N we ordered Gong-Gong... ha... initially I tot Gong-Gong is the small spiral ones but it ended up to be a huge snail like thingy... I tried one.. and it taste like sotong.. I tot I will puke but it is fine...

We played the Audit Dai Dee game at night...where the winner of the first round gets to be the partner and the loser is the G2... so the partner get to exchange 3 of his/her worst cards with the G2/s 3 best cards ... only the s3 do not have to exchange any cards with anyone.. Fun game!

Went for the massage the next day but I got "molested".. haha... next time I must specify where I don't need massage... heehee... But I still prefer bintan massage... where the setting is more rustic and u can reallie relax... coz the one at batam is just in some hotel rooms converted and u see the swimming pool and the sea ... not reallie the best... but the massage is not too bad... and I got blue-black again!! always happen when I go for massage... ha..

Love the doggie decor they have around the resorts.. esp the Pink one!! Cool!!

King of Prussia, Philadelphia

2007-07-16T20:39:00.002+08:00

Was searching for cheesecake recipe online coz making one for Pam n Kev's Farewell this sunday... n I saw the link for Cheesecake Factory... went there last last may.. (i.e. May/June 2006) My last holiday before I left KP.. It was spring/summer then... The second time was Winter... my first ever Winter!! n Snow... It was fantastic... It was cold... I saw snow... I took pics n video of it snowing ... it was beautiful... but dirty as well.. coz after a while, the snow gets black by all the dirt and dust... rather disgusting...

I rem watching it snow while in a nice restaurant... think it is Magiano's... nice place... nice deco... n I was sitting by the window.. it was so beautiful to see everything covered in thick white snow... n with my love by my side... it was so heartwarming...

I rem you saying that you like Philly coz we have a place of our own...n me at home waiting for u ... preparing dinner... it was reallie nice... I can imagine a real place of our own... but too bad it doesn't snow in Singapore...

Thinking abt snow oso made me think abt Jili... she passed a few weeks back... she was a reallie adorable dog... with huge almost floppy ears and cow-prints... our own cow-hua-hua... she looked so cute in her cruella jacket when I brought her out for her daily walk n shit session... n whenever she had her dinner roll, she acted as if the dinner roll was alive ... I will miss her...

Philly- King of Prussia... maybe we will get a chance to go back someday... :)

Jacky Cheung

2007-07-16T20:39:00.001+08:00

Went to Jacky Cheung concert with Pam the other day... n he was fantastic... wonder if we will be that hyper when we turned 46... wonder if I will still blog... wonder if I will still be alive... :P...

He was reallie amazing... the way he danced and sing at the same time... non-stop for 20 mins... n he was munchin on an apple during the later half of the concert... he said it helps him sing better... ha... so adorable...

It is my first ever concert besides the one tt I went w Sharon coz the Singer is one of the pastor of Cityharvest... ha... so this is my first ever concert that I paid for... :P n I got a discount coz Pam's fren could not go so she sold it to me for 100 bucks.. ha... so cheapo rite? But I rather spend it on musicals coz Jacky Cheung sang quite a few Cantonese songs which I never heard before n I dun understand ... so I was day-dreaming for a while... think I was sick tt day too.. so a bit dazed n all...

The Picture of Sink..Sank...Sunk....

Watering Hole!!! (Dempsey Road...in memory of Mr MacD)

Featuring the pretty Babes' and Handsome Beasts' Dinner at Black Angus

In Memory of "Sink, Sank, Sunk"

2007-07-12T23:38:00.000+08:00

Met up with MX for an hour chat during the unofficial coffee break ... reallie miss the good old days when we gossip abt the office politics ... MX is still MX... the same old MX-always updated w the latest gossip in office... though it is our ex-office... like our fav mr macdonald who just got invited to partnership... together w his wife.. ha .. yes they finally got married..

The onli change abt MX is she looks happier... more radiant.. maybe becoz of the good times she is having at PWC San Frans... envy envy... she is no longer wearing her red sleeveless top w her beige skirt... n her black shoes.. though she is still carrying the same bag.. she is in 3/4 pants n a diff blouse tt i have not seen before.. ha... yes she has changed her dressing... Finally.. it is about time.. we used to tease her about being "classic" and some say "retro"

That day after MX's wedding dinner, KW sent me home in his bro's van which was running low on gas... luckily we did not have to push the van back or find a petrol kisok along CTE... ha... it managed to survive till my house... had a fun time jsut chatting w old man... miss him .. his crappy jokes and hilarious answers and comments... n old man has more hair!!!!! whao... see after u leave KP.. u get more hair>.... haa.... n he joined dragon boat! whao .. amazing!! of all pple, OKW joined dragon boat!! ha..

Memories of A just come flooding back...the times when we spend doing our audit in the tiny room - w 5 male GAs, n me n MX ... all 7 of us... cramped into tt little room... den the next yr we have a bigger room but the closeness starts to wear off ... we just dun trust or respect some of the teammates ... MX's sad story about her encounter w Mr Mac ... just pull our spirit down by a million ton... but in the end... all is well.. but not long after, I left, Song left for Japan, MX left for US, Old Man also left... so now survivors are young boy n KA... well KA isn't reallie the original team coz he joined in several weeks later... n also Mark... long time no see him.. wonder how is he... he left way earlier than us... smart!

The second yr w the guys was rather fun too... n we have aussie babe n KT ... though KT is reallie quiet then so din reallie get to know him well.. n the onli anchor left is KT... coz aussie babe left too... ha... of coz we have the rich boy whom MX n myself wanted to counsel him but in the end, he wanted to finish the job n quit... still he chose his gf .. .another smart one...

I guess getting into A is never my first choice but it is also in A tt I sort of got my current job... i rem tt day when MX was sitting beside me in our big room in A n she said... hey, SAY got a job offering, u int?? n so, I emailed my resume to SAY n here I am at MSL... ha...

Days at A were reallie fond memories .... miss those days in our small room when we cramp together n joke n laugh... will miss u guys... n of coz MX...

Rising Prices in Singapore

2007-07-11T22:18:00.000+08:00

hmm... now thinkin abt my "new house" n what I need to spend if I am planning to buy a new house... damn expensive lor... so putting off tt thought for another 2 yrs bah.. coz firstly, property prices are soaring in Singapore... n secondly, not enuf savings.. coz i want a nice comfy house ... n I need comfort!! N hope tt the house can auto-clean itself ... :P

Just thinkin abt the amt of money to spend on the house is ridiculous... first of all, u need to pay the initial deposit, transaction fee blah blah... next u need to set aside money for interior designing unless u can manage it on ur own den u can choose a contractor-but I know nuts abt interior designing... anyways, after tt u need to spend on furniture... gosh... tons n tons of money... which I dun have.. ha... time to cut down on my spending ... esp on clothes n shoes... n of coz ... cabs!!!...

I wish I live in Thailand or somewhere that has cheap cab fare... Singapore cabs are so exp... n buyin a car is even more exp... damn... everything is exp in singapore... n GST just increased by 2%... even the china square Yong Tau Hu is going to increase the price by 50 cents.. which translates into 16% increase!! N my next fav Thunder Tea has also increase their price...

ha..it is ironic tt I am complainin here abt the increase in foodcourt prices when me n cleo keeps visiting restaurants... our misson for our next outing is to visit foodcourts n hawker centre n save money... heehee... so it is either vcd day for us on sat or underwater world with monster xin......

Wii Day

2007-07-11T22:00:00.000+08:00

Had a super fun day at GT's house ... Wii is so so so so fun... must buy ... but then before u can buy that, u need to invest in a plasma tv so tt it is at eye level... so onli a toy tt rich pple can afford.. ha... joking ... but the fact is that u get to play n exercise on this neat little toy... n u get to hit ur fren too!! ha.. coz I hit pammy on her shoulder while playin baseball... heehee...

Gotta buy Wii when I have my new house.. fantastic... but mario is super boring... ha...

Enjoyed the gathering tt day... pammy n kev are going away soon so another 2 pple leaving-first it is simon n jack-now are the two of them... wonder wat will become of our "group"-let me count the number of pple left in the group-Mr Soh, Senior Z (hmm.busy with mr HL-aka male slave), Senior T (always busy with baby n hubby) n meeeee... GT (but always busy with baby shantel n wife) .. seems like not many pple left...Pathetic little group... sigh... no more fun ktv n great outing... but we are going (hopefully) to batam for a weekend getaway... hope it is going to be fun... n YC n Fed are comin too... :)

N rem the day when we stay over at Sharon's pl just to finish our project n ended up playin sims while we got ready for sch-n yunni laughing her head off just becoz she made the sims sleep in the toilet... ha...

Though we are all JC classmates, reallie never gotten tt close to all of u until uni days... how strange... will miss the good old days...

Love, me

2007-06-21T23:17:00.002+08:00

Call me a sucker for love songs... :P... heard this song on the cab the nite before... cannot get it out of my head... This song made me cry not too long ago... guess it is one of the "pms" days bah or "I hate u" days.. Love the song nonetheless... Can any person love someone else for such a long time?

Love, Me (Colin Raye)

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me.
He said,"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet,
instead Of her, I found this letter,
and this is what it said:

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you.
Love, me.

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,I'll be loving you.
Love, me.

Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you.
Love, me

Dragon-Tortoise

2007-06-21T23:03:00.001+08:00

Bought a dragon-tortise for my bro... coz the lady said it is good for sales.. ha... silly me... just read abt it online n decided to buy it.. but mine is simple.. onli got gold coin on the back... no gold coin in mouth... no babies on the side... hee.. hope it works...

What Dragon Tortoise symbolizes and how to place the object? (source:fengshuibestbuy.com)

Dragon Tortoise is the divine version of tortoise that combines two of the four celestial animals (Dragon, Phoenix, Tiger and Tortoise) in Feng Shui practice. This wonderful combination produces a harmonized blend of qualities between a Dragon and a Tortoise, namely ambitious and wisdom. This divine creature can live for more than 5000 years and imperishable without food and air. This creature was also said to be the attendant of Pan Ku, the one who chiselled out the world and created everything. It guards the northern quadrant of the heaven and is said to symbolize winter. Hindus and Buddhist believe it symbolizes the universe. Its markings on the shell uncover all the secrets of heaven and star constellations. This traditional symbol is placed in ancient palace to signify peace, steady rule of the country and longevity of the emperor and placed in homes to symbolize high status in life, long life and harmony.

The heavenly creature is able to blow cosmic chi because of its Dragon's head to benefit the entire family. Water is equivalent to wealth in feng shui. Because it has power over water, it is considered as being able to draw wealth. The Tortoise body signifies excellent support from important people, good health and longevity and perseverance in homes. A good Dragon Tortoise symbol is depicted sitting on a bed of wealth like coins and gold ingots to represent increasingly steady income luck. It is turned into an even more powerful wealth item when biting a chinese coin in its mouth. To activate excellent blessings of descendant luck with plenty of money, the Dragon Tortoise could be carved with one or two generations of babies sitting on its shell. You will enjoy having obedient/filial children who are healthy and having a harmonious family

Dragon Tortoise produces wonderful results to enhance career luck, longevity and health, wealth luck, family luck and education luck:

1. Place the object in the north sector of your home (or your personal Sheng Chi direction) at living room or dining room and business premise to activate the career corner for a long and successful worklife with neverending support from your boss and a peaceful environment with your counterparts. Also place an object at your work desk or behind your back at your work place to enjoy continuous promotion opportunities annually. This is also an effective way to multiply your authority in your management position for managers.

2. Place the Dragon Tortoise in the east sector of your house to ensure your family being blessed with good health and longevity. You may also place it facing the main door to ensure a long and happy life. When placed facing the door, it could also bless you with safe journeys and prevent accidents and injuries. Every worktrips you make will be assured with long term gains.

3. The Dragon Tortoise placed in an individual's personal "Tien Yi" direction can help those who are sickly in the family or placed in northwest the enhance family patriach.

4. Placed in the southeast of your living room or dining and your business premise, you will enjoy tremendous wealth luck constantly coming your way. You may also place it near your cash register, reception and important areas of your shop.

5. For those who wishes to further their studies, place the Dragon Tortoise in the northeast sector or the study desk to ensure getting constantly excellent results and a steady and smooth blessing of a scholarship or financial aid from institute of higher learnings.

6. Dragon Tortoise can also be used to dissolve three killings which brings robbery, lawsuits, fightings, anger, police arrests and disharmony. You may place the cure facing the north sector in 2006 for this reason.

7. If made from metal, the Dragon Tortoise will also be empowered to dissolve unlucky star #2 (illness star).

I dun think i can ever believe in marriages ... not when there are so many unhappy things around me...

Strange ... how one can change their mindset... I used to be the "happily ever after" girl ... now... it becomes "things like tt dun happen in reality" I may sound negative but I guess this is good tool for me to use to protect myself.. being cynical n all... at least I dun get hurt tt bad when it reallie happens.. or so I think...

I dun trust pple easily... no one can be trusted ... just when u least expect it... I wanna live in my protected world where nothing can hurt me... but I am wrong...even the tiniest thing stings like hell... U think that nothing can hurt u more when ur world came tumbling down ... u are wrong... even the slightest mistake makes u cringe... coz u had seen so much... heard so much.. u know the amount of pain u need to endure again coz u had been thru it so many times but u can do nothing to stop it...

I will be strong... or so I hope... I hope everything will go away... I hope everything did not happen... I hope it will all disappear... be like wat it used to be... but it can never happen.. not after all these..

At least I know I still got u... u are the only one that keeps me sane ... keeps my hopes alive..

Char... my fren...

Secondary school days... time spent hanging out my "crazy" fren... n making enemies tt I dun even know abt... reallie miss those days when we dun have so much to worry abt...

Char is getting married in aug...to a "little" boy... ha... her "first" love... reallie wan her to find her own happiness ... someone who reallies love her and take care of her... hope this lasts and this will turn out good... I am worried coz I reallie love u n dun wanna u to get hurt anymore... knowing tt u always do foolish things ...

If this is reallie wat u wan, i will be happy for u no matter wat others say...

My First Love....
