fuckor.

Seriously! They DO NOT know the use of words!
This was what was reported in yesterday's security report.

"At about 0830hrs, Security Desk Officer Thibah refrained Marcom Executive Gretchen Tan from bringing in outside food that she tried to cover with her cardigan. Said officer advised her on the In-House rules and to consume food outside the hotel premises before commencing for work, to which she heeds to the advice."

I didn't HEED her advice ok, in the first place, I INTENDED to eat it outside.
The reason I brought 'outside' food in was I need to clock-in, 'show face' and put my bag first!

Nabeh, and I just went to showdown! I don't give a damn, seriously!

booked!

2009-04-16T16:26:00.002+08:00

I'm super duper happy, cuz FINALLY settled on the May Day long weekend trip!

The islands in Malaysia are all fully booked, and these M'sians either take too long to reply emails or resorts are fully booked or closed.
Patience ran out.

So, Lele and I made the decision to book the Nirwana Resort Hotel @ Bintan!

Woooohooooooo!!!14 more days to WHORE-LI-DAY!!!!

2009-04-15T16:31:00.002+08:00

Since my passport is gonna expire in July, and since I'm due to travel in May..
Decided to renew my passport via APPLES :)

Went to try out the photo booth machine for the first time!

2009-04-14T11:12:00.002+08:00

I had wanted to plan something for the Labour Day holiday long weekend.

Initially we wanted to have a Cabana-style weekend at Bintan.. 1 week later, when we are ready to book, its fully booked :(

Then, I thought of Rawa Island. A beeeeee-ti-fool splendid island!

Check out the clear waters!

And the only jetty on Rawa Island..

Sad to say again, its fully booked for all weekends till July!
BOOHOOHOO!

Now, I think its back to Bintan.. with apartment-style accomodation.

Tiger & Bel

2009-04-13T15:35:00.003+08:00

Wah, me so proud of Bel Ong.. Her TUA MIA on the website!

It not only looks good but the perforated bottle can be used as a bookmark or a sticker,” said Bel Ong, designer at Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore, creators of Tiger’s latest ad campaign in the city-state.

OPI spree

2009-04-08T17:03:00.001+08:00

Hi friends!

I'm gonna order OPI polishes from this site: http://www.transdesign.com/

Please let me know if you wanna join in my spree, by this Sunday 12 April.

what herb are you?

2009-04-07T16:54:00.002+08:00

Try here!

YOU ARE MINT
You are a honest person with a strong personality. Your frank point of view is refreshing.
You've been quite lucky in your life, though you have made more of your own luck than you realize.

You are engaging and disarming. You definitely have the "gift of gab!"
You live an edgy, dynamic life. Sometimes you get a little burned, but you always bounce back.

On a totally separate note, Jamie Oliver named his third kid - Petal Blossom Rainbow, his first being Poppy Honey and second, Daisy Boo.

goodbye..

2009-03-31T23:47:00.001+08:00

飛輪海

2009-03-30T14:11:00.003+08:00

Hee. I'm a 飛輪海 groupie now!
Now I know why Serene & PX always crooning over Wu Chun.
He's indeed cute and funny!
'A' was fascinated by the coffee machine in the room.
'WC' was buried in his food! And even "ordered" his guy to go Geylang buy porridge, buy Laksa and, to KL to buy Bak Kwa.
'J' was the lost kid. We totally forgot about him and went down to the lobby without him!! And 'WC' was all excited to capture J's look.
I don't have much impression of 'C', he was just quietly sitting at one corner.

飛輪海 :)

I was stuck in the traffic for 1.5hrs, and the usually $9 ERP went down to $4 cause jam right, and peak hour over already right.. but 1.5hrs know!!!! The taxi meter jumped like SIAO, my heart also skipped like SIAO!
In the end, my cab fare came up to $40.25! :(
CHEEEEEEEEEEEEE BYE!

4some & more.

2009-03-18T19:41:00.003+08:00

Just cause B. was in Malaysia over the weekend, and just cause he misses me so much (teeheehee), we had a record high of 236 smses over the weekend!
I can't imagine when I'm going for my Bangkok/Koh Phangan trip man! :p

I think we are kinda sticky (hahaha), we meet almost everyday except on Tuesday cause that's when he has night classes.. Maybe we are still in the honeymoon period lah.. Hee. Oh yes, pictures of B. soon, he doesn't like taking much pictures and the cam-whore in me can't get him to take pictures too! Baaaaahhh.

***

So, my weekend at New Majestic was AWESOME!
(Even though I had a little drama with a cabbie, talking about it, COMFORT have not called me back yet, TSK!)

The fantabulous room that we had,

the company I had,

the toiletries we used,
the layout of the room, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE BIT OF MY WEEKEND!

Every room had a theme..

even the pool!

Job lugged her Sephora Chocolate toiletries for us to use!

We lounged by the pool for a bit after check-in, but we had some caucasians for company for can't really make much noise :p

We goofed around the lobby before heading out for dinner..

And Seb with his 'third leg'.. HAHAHA!

The trishaw damn wobbly, I was so afraid that I will damage it lor!

Job brought us to this uber retro dim sum place only to find out they don't serve dim sum for dinner.. o.O Neh-mind, next time k.. :)

Settled our dinner at Yum Cha and dessert at 味香园..

After dinner, we did nothing but just relax.. Even our plans of exploring Cheenatown didn't happen cause we were all feeling so damn shiok after our Kiehl's Lavender bath!

Peeping Tom took a picture while I have my shower! HAHAHAHA!

Seb and his flowery boxers! o.O

Anyhoos, I slept peacefully throughout the night till 7am even though I heard (the next morning) from Bel that Job & Seb were talking the whole time!
At 7am, I was woken up by the giggles of Job, then she pulled me out of bed at 8am,

thats when Seb & Job slept peacefully (so scandalous, God knows what they did while we were at the pool, haha!) while Bel & I

went for our mimi American breakkie! :)

After breakkie, Bel & I went to suntan for 4 hours! This time, we had the pool all to ourselves :D

Yeah, I'm slightly red now with a little regret cause I wore my tankini :(

Bummer Bel.

Bliss is having a beer in the afternoon and surfing the net :)

The espresso machine that I lived on for the 2 days..

Peeping Tom never gave up!

Sadly, we bade goodbye to our lovely HOR-TEL room and lovely weekend with dark clouds..

The 2 siao charbors I had for the weekend!

***

On another note, last Friday, CLEO crowned Vivian Dawson the EB for 2009!

Hee, snapped from today's TNP.

Teeheehee, I had a kodak moment with him tooooooooo, taken on Halloween 2008 :)

***

Also, my spree arrived yesterday!

My loot!
I don't need new clothes for the rest of 2009 already!

happy 1!

2009-03-17T08:56:00.000+08:00

It has been an eventful year!
Time flies..

:)

2009-03-16T17:39:00.004+08:00

Next Wednesday would be the wedding of my poly classmate's, Jac.
I'm not exactly close to her in the recent years, just catching up with each other on MSN once in a while, but she was still nice enough to invite me to share their joy!
Reminiscing the days we used to hang out quite a bit, all the dramas we had, clubbing, drinking and bitching sessions..
I like it how we still are friends after so long and so many years and sometimes I would like to think that, these people are for you to keep for life..
Ahhh, how time really flies.

A heartwarming convo with B. the other day, when we were lying at the km8 benches, listening to the waves..
me: how many kids do you wanna have in future?
B: 1, but if can afford, i want 2.
me: hmmmm, i want six!
B: wah, you need to marry a millionaire then!
me: oh, so you won't be the daddy of my kids.
B: hey! i'm close to becoming a millionaire!

:)

playtime with jiajia.

2009-03-13T14:44:00.008+08:00

I like it when its 'masak masak'(name given by B.) time with Jiajia.
Places we go are all damn happening, including her paktor place at Fort Canning Park.. so love!

We will go makan after work and me be Jiajia's & Uncle Kelvyn's 'gin na'..
Teeheehee..
So this week, we went to our favourite Bak Kut Teh at Balestier..

A shiokalicious mee sua place at Kembangan.

That's Uncle Kelvyn.

Jiajia had a flyer from Crabtree & Evelyn as it was Women's Day, and she shared the 2 sets deal (lotion + free shower gel) with me!

In other news, I wanna get my hands on this lu-va-li camera!

Tell me.

2009-03-11T15:38:00.001+08:00

Why did you call someone your pillar of strength in whatever you do?

How does your pillar of strength help you in any way for what you do?

Tell me.. I would like to know.

five.

2009-03-10T16:34:00.002+08:00

Edison Chen.

Yeah, I was THIS close to him, but didn't dare to ask him for a picture. Pat wanted to help me somemore! Damned.
The media was hogging him for a good 5 minutes at the VIP area of the 60adidas'09 event, and then he left with at least 10 security guards.
Well, was a good 5 minutes for me ogling at him too :)

Raymond Lam.

Me no speak Cantonese and his English sounds funny to me, that's all I can remember of him. Hahaha.
And oh, he said that (in Canto), "I'm cute cuz I hold my camera at a high angle to take pictures."

My New Toy.

Cleared my desk a little to make space for my..

coffee machine!
Hee.. Saw this on Jade's table 3 years ago and I thought its SO CUTE!
As she gotten hers from Taka, I went there to get it too but was out of stock :(
So there, 3 years later, I chanced upon it at Hougang Point :)

This weekend.
B. is gonna be out of town for his cousin's engagement, so I thought, "Since I have not been spending time with Bel for the longest time properly, might as well check in to a hotel and have a 3some for the weekend!"
Hahahaha, that is, together with Jobs lah!

Picture courtesy of New Majestic Hotel.
So kinky, its a glass-encased aquarium bathtub in the middle of the room.
With the help of a colleague, managed to get the room at a VERY good price :)
Also the package includes American Breakfast for 3, early check-in and late check-out, Kiehl's toiletries and the Mini Bar!
Looking forward!

:(
I.. I.. I think I have been piling on quite abit of weight..

This was taken in October, in just a span of 4+ months..
I HAVE EVOLVED!

tsk.

2009-03-06T11:19:00.005+08:00

Just before GO & JY announced their divorce to the public, I've already seen her (in public) a couple of times with several angmoh guy (that's after her move to the sports channel).

Why am I not surprised to see her with her new beau last Friday at the adidas party!

And news of her and her new beau on front page of TNP?! Is it that news-worthy? AIYO!

Anyways, more of my Edison Chen later. (Let me finish reading kpo news first! :p)

Respect has to be earned. And yes, she doesn't get a least bit of respect.

2009-03-02T16:28:00.004+08:00

I damn damn damn fucking TULAN ok, which part of "copy and paste" do you not fucking cheebye understand?!
Why must you take your precious time & effort to type all over again, when I have already swee swee converted my word document to text document for your MAC!!
Its a fucking waste of MY PRECIOUS time to proof read all over again, and to spot mistakes and THE FUCKING SAME mistakes all over again!
Just because you have to TYPE every single fucking word, you took 4 working days to churn out the whole artwork!
You said you wanna type the whole thing to understand your 'baby', excuse me, you DON'T have to type, just read & digest and fucking COPY & PASTE!
And don't last time Andrea this, Andrea that to me!
You have said it - LAST TIME!
You jolly fucking well REMEMBER that you're working with GRETCHEN TAN now and not ANDREA CHER ok!!!!!!!
Kanina!

SIAO SIAO SIAO SIAO SIAO!!!

Women are just trouble!

I was merely making a statement, "Don't put words into my mouth." and she took it as I was SCOLDING her?
Which part of the statement sounded like a SCOLD?
Nabeh chao cheebye!
Nothing better to do and get sensitive over such issue.

Brainless. Like. Totally.

21st.

2009-02-25T16:49:00.005+08:00

Twenty-one.

In the end, I got it planned at McDonald's!
T'was a memorable one indeed!

3 years later, here I am helping my Sissy with hers!
And she said I can invite some of my friends!
How naaaice my Sissy is, hor!

Ah.. 3 years from now, its Junior's turn.

Noticed how often I've been blogging recently?
Hahaha, its just cause.. I no longer can facebook at work! :p

Should I?

2009-02-25T11:04:00.003+08:00

Bali, should I or should I not?

I'm excited for my Bangkok/Koh Phangan trip, but.. 3 more months away..
That's a quarter of a year.
I want to go elsewhere in the meantime!

Few updates..

2009-02-24T16:54:00.001+08:00

I've a few updates and uber late posts..

My first day of 牛 year, my cute niece was very obliging to take pictures!
She would pose and pose and pose.. and even pose with us. A uber rare chance, I would say!
So of course, my favourite picture of the day was the one with her :)

How not to love when she can even sing Fong Feifei's songs?! *Alamak!*

On 初六, was steamboat at Fiona's house.
Michie ordered Lo Hei from Peach Blossoms and was mistaken as my sister again.. Hahaha.

My favourite boy in his cart of colourful balls!

Not easy to 'bluff' him into my arms..

My fav pic of the night, with Amanda & Xavier :)

And it was farewell to Jag as he was leaving us to NZ..

Lo and behold, check out her jugs on Jag's farewell!

Hah! Pdeep, are you thinking what I am thinking? :p

I just have to post this :x

Pretending to kiss.. wth!

Last picture of the night..

..with a teary Jag!

The OCBC Cycle Singapore 2009 conference last Friday.

The youngest participant and his autographed tee.

Happy thoughts :)

2009-02-24T16:30:00.002+08:00

I seriously absolutely HATE it when people like to exaggerate.

ARGH!!!!

In other news, looking forward to next weekend with Roy to visit Singapore's last Kampong :)

It sure feels good seeing a familiar face in your neighbourhood early in the morning!
I woke up uber early today, in an uber uplifted spirit walking to the bus stop and there, I saw Chowchow smiling at me! Hah..
Especially when it is someone cute :p Lalalalalala..

I think today is a GOOD DAY! 'cause I met Chris during lunch too! :D

Just for you, Pdeep :)

2009-02-23T16:48:00.001+08:00

Pdeep, as promised, this is to update you ;)

It started with a kiss on my cheek when we bade goodbye.
The next night was a kiss on my lips that took me by surprise.
The following night, he held my hands for the first time.

By then, he assumed I was his girlfriend already. Hahaha.
I was gonna deny the fact that I'm attached till he ask.
So just last Wednesday, he asked if I am free to do dinner with his Mom on Saturday..

me: Why should I? I'm not your girlfriend..
B: Why are you not?
me: You never ask.
B: I've never asked any of my exes. Didn't it just happened naturally when we have good feelings about each other?
me: Nooooooooooooo, I'm special, not like any of your exes. So you MUST ask.

So he did.

And we sorta 'settled' on our pak-tor date - 8th February.
Hahahaha. Technically its on 30th January lah.. but cuz both of us like the number, 8.
:)

Nothing fanciful this weekend.
I was still nursing my bout of flu and sore throat, and my period had to come during this time, which made me more unwell than ever.
B. brought me to the famous Bak Kut Teh at Balestier after I finished work about 10. :)
Hearty meal, I like.
Then, was a quiet night at Gardens, Time in a Bottle, with him and friends on Friday night.

A mama joint!
I met his bestie, Alvin who is also working at SPH, Genting Lane.
Devi came with Puddle and she was so shocked to see me there.
And when she found out that I was with B., she was screaming like mad.
Damn cute lah, that girl.
A night with great company and lots of laughter!

And yes, I met his Mom on Saturday.
He came to pick me and I was so friggin' nervous on our way to Taka (to pick his Mom).
His Mom is sooooo nice and easy-going!
She was more of a friend that a Mom.
Haha, and she wanted to expose B.'s shamelessness and whatevernots but gave him chance since was the first time meeting me..
Hahaha. Am so gonna look forward to that!
So, we had dinner at Spizza at Club Street and brought his Mom to Cafe Iguana for the Macho Margarita.
3 of us, 4 Machos! Haha.
And his Mom was laughing at the other 4 punjabs sitting opposite us, 'cause they were having only ONE Macho.

At the end of our drinks session, B. sent his Mom home.. Auntie patted my cheeks when she bade goodbye to me! I thought that was quite a sweet gesture :p
After, I was having this convo with B., and I thought was rather euphonious.

me: So, have your Mom met any of your exes before?
B: Not all of them, and I can specifically tell you who. It's the Pakistani one (Pakistani is his longest r/s - 3yrs, during his poly days to army). But my Mom only met her after 2 years together, and she didn't really like her.
me: Then, does your Mom likes me?
B: Yes!! I know my Mom very well. She said you are sweet! *:)*

Hee.

I slept my whole Sunday away.. Yeah, 20hours!
Took my flu med and was feeling so wooooozy.

In other news, I like this tool set!!!

So damn cutie!

Note to self: Make a new passport on APPLES soon!

My Valentine.

2009-02-19T15:59:00.004+08:00

Would you be my Valentine?

Yes, I said :)

So B. came to pick me at my place, and off we went with me feeling so excited cuz I didn't know where we were going, or rather I don't know.
He kept me in suspense till we got to Central carpark. So I thought was just dinner at Central.
I was wrong.. We walked out of Central and heading towards..
Swissotel Merchant Court.
HIAKS.

This was it.. :)

And B. said I looked gorge.. HAH.

Finally wore the dress I bought 3years ago but never had a chance to wear!

The Sea of Love, 5-course dinner.

Started with a very yummy seafood spread.. I love it!

Peking duck soup.. had to use flash as it was very dark, but bah, overexposed piccie.

Pan-seared Scallop, was so-so only.

For main course, B. chosed the Norwegian Salmon.. boring choice, I thought. And when we gotten our food, he regretted his choice. Heehee, I love foie gras too much to swop with him! :p

His norwegian salmon.

My pigeon and foie gras.
Foie gras is love, and B. totally agreed after having a mouthful of it!

Dessert was from the buffet spread.. Nothing to wow about as I've tasted way better desserts! :p

That was my Vday.

And oh, finally in June, I'm going to Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan!
Can't wait!

Never again.

2009-02-16T12:45:00.004+08:00

I'm feeling bitchy now, let me rant.
I hate it when people only know how to talk and no action.
All your life, you just wait for others to plan and you just showed up.
If you so good at it, try planning/organising a get-together.
Come, show me your ability.
I've known you for so long, never once I see you planning for ANYTHING!
Oh maybe yes, for the your boys.

Yes, my planning for the BBQ was a lil screwed up.
When things don't turn out the way I WANT them to be, I get paranoid.
I get upset. I get frustrated.
I was so goddamn thankful for Trish who OFFERED to help even when she couldn't stay for it.
I wouldn't have managed everything on my own if not for her.
She even cleaned up my kitchen so spotlessly clean, that certainly prevented a good thrashing from my mom!

I admit I was a lil' upset when some remarks were being made.
It felt like.. all efforts were gone down the drain.
AND, food were even bought when 20+ chix wings were left!
Ok, the rest of food were fast ran out, but when we did the marketing, we thought the amount of food were substantial for the number of pax.
Oh, so we thought..

Never gonna organise anything EVER again.

Rant.

2009-02-15T23:02:00.003+08:00

I'm disgusted. Utterly disgusted to be precise.
But I shall not elaborate further.
Come to me if you want to know :)

I need a whore-li-day soon!
Since nobody is willing to start to organise, I will just do it.
Can't make it to Bali with the Funkulo gang, can't make it to Hong Kong for Rugby Sevens.
Booo hoooo :(

I'll post pictures of my Valentine's Day soon :)

Wii fun!

2009-02-06T19:51:00.003+08:00

Yes, I'm home on a Friday night.
Unbelievable? I can't believe it too, haaaaaah!
Me gonna have some wii time later with B!
Prepare BBQ food for tomorrow and Sunday would be dim sum with the darlings and ZoukFlea!

Eh, my first time to ZoukFlea.
Swaku, I know.

The week just flew by so fast!

heehee.

2009-02-05T14:39:00.004+08:00

It has been sucha long time since I..
brought someone home!
Thankfully my parents didn't have strong objections! :)

It's nice chilling at home with him after a day's work.
Ever since Sissy & I tidied up the room, I love lounging around.
Plus, I bought a new mattress pad last Thursday when B & I went to Ikea!
He loves my bed very much tooooo! Hee.

wii :)

2009-02-02T17:14:00.002+08:00

What have I done today?

I BOUGHT A WII!

2009-02-01T16:21:00.003+08:00

Wah, I didn't step into Attica for this week, boy, I'm surprised. ;)

Mom prepared a whole lot of food for steamboat! Yums!
Been sucha long while since my mom prepared something :)

原来恋爱的感觉就像回到中学..
我已经很久没这样的感觉了!

:)

是有一点心动.. teeheehee.

2 sides.

2009-01-29T09:29:00.004+08:00

It always scary when you hear one side to a story.
And makes you wonder, "Why like that?", "Why she like that?!", "Why so bad huh!", etc.

BUT, after hearing THE other side of the story.. ahhh, you have a better understanding of the situation.

DAMNIT.

Not gonna believe entirely what she says, afterall, she belonged to the other dark side.

*smirks*

2009-01-28T10:54:00.001+08:00

The Year of the Ox - been looking..

GREAT! :)

大扫除

2009-01-23T10:30:00.005+08:00

Have been cleaning up and revamping the room, 大扫除!
Lovin' the uber clean state, and let's just hope that will last :p
Love the new bedsheets from Aussino I've bought for myself & sissy!
340 thread count and at 40% off, wheeeeeeeee!
With much help from Bull, made a trip down to Ikea and gotten a new bedside table.
I fixed it myself, cleaned the stuff from the old table and placed in my new kick-ass drawers.
Bought some railings and hung some baskets on it, to store all my beauty essentials.

Next up to clean on Sat, my overflowing wardrobe!

*HEADACHE*

There are 1001 things that I wanna blog.
But some stuff would be better left unsaid.
不要伤感情..
Shall rant to the girls as that's the only avenue I've left.

2009-01-20T12:10:00.004+08:00

Tell me, what the chances are bumping into the same person at 2 different bus-stops in a short time span of 30mins?

Yes, it happened to me yesterday.
And the person is none other than that guy, C.
Remember my juicy story about 2 months back?
Uh-huh.
He was with a girl. A chinese girl to be exact.
Ummm, nothing much to comment, I think I'm cuter definitely :p

And he, ummm, still having that same mouldy ear.
I was grossed out totally.
Then, he said, his ear was having some infection caused by wakeboarding..
And it would recover within a month's time.
It's already 3 months, and it seems to be that, its getting from bad to worse.
Ewwwwwwww.

fb :(

2009-01-19T09:11:00.003+08:00

Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!

No more m.facebook at work!

FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK!

Now, I think its reaaaally time for me to switch to the RED provider.
Orange suck. No reception almost everywhere!
Not even at the void deck at my place.
Nabeh.

saving $$!

2009-01-14T11:46:00.004+08:00

Some money saving tip! :)

If you are craving for a hash brown, and think that the breakfast value meal is a little overpriced for breakfast.
You can order the $2 set which consist of a sausage mcmuffin and coffee/tea, and additional $1.75 for hash brown..

This way, you can save about $1.80! :D

for laff!

2009-01-14T10:24:00.003+08:00

I find the convo between Bel & her company's IT personnel is so entertaining!
She said that her IT person set her password to "lovebel" last time, and now that it has expired, she emailed him..

Bel: "lovebel" expired?... i thought its timeless"

IT person: The expiry is there always, to test the hardship of forever lovebel, you need to have the faith and confidence to love as always...

Bel: *sigh* can i install faith & confidence into my pegasus. lol

IT person: Whenever i change your settings, my heart and soul (faith & confidence) already installed with the warmest touch....from my heart....

Bel: impressive... appreciate ur patience to make "lovebel" work everytime, every seconds.

updates.

2009-01-12T22:56:00.004+08:00

Thinking back, it's too late for all the 'should have' & 'could have'..
Moving on, its useless crying over spilled milk.
What I could do is, learn from there and pick up my steps again..
But if that situation were to happen once again, knowing me, the same story repeats.
Useless me.
Now now, its gonna be reaaaaally awkward on Saturday.

Weekend was fantabulous, was overwhelming!

I'm so glad that I hung out with the girls & YogiBear on Friday night!
My initial plan was to head home to rest and then out again..
But Bel tempted me with a movie, and I haven't seen Trish since she came back..

Watched Red Cliff 2, boy, I enjoyed the movie tremendously!
Gonna find some time and watch Red Cliff 1 online!
Tauhuay-ed at Selegie cause.. *ahem* someone wanna look at some db boys, but to no avail.
Muahahahahaha!

It was even better on Saturday!
For the first time in my 23 years, I went to CNY 夜市!

HAHAHA, yes that's right.
I've been to Little India during Deepavali, Geylang Serai during Hari Raya but never to Chinatown during Chinese New Year.
My take?
Walk 5 rounds and I'm stuffed with CNY goodies! :p
Oh, Han brought us to a nice chillout place at Chinatown too, its called Casual Poet or something.

Nice nice.

Lastly, a Sunday filled with much laughter and hanging out with crazy Bel & Char!

We CDM-ed, Katong Laksa-ed and Wala-ed!
YUMMS!
I coincidentally met Lorrdoll at Wala!

And Char was eyeing on her cute friend..

2009-01-09T15:31:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was the welcome party at Zirca for the Singapore Tattoo Show..
I went with Bel and the minute we alighted the cab, walking towards Zirca,
I exclaimed, "It's CHRIS! I want a picture with him!"
Bel went up to him and and we chatted with him for a lil bit and after a while.. a few girls here & there came up to him as well.
He's really friendly and obliging!

Here's picture with him :)

And one with funny face..

wah lau!

2009-01-08T15:20:00.003+08:00

During lunch today, I received a text message from an unknown number.
And it read "Hello! Will I be seeing you for CNY?"

My colleague, AC, told me to reply, "Depends if you have a big erm, member."
Her reason being, if its a client just reply back "I'm kidding!",
and if its a friend, "I don't have your number what!".

Reasonable, so I thought.. cuz me being my cheeky self, that's not a problem.

Lo and behold, guess what reply have I gotten!

"YOUR UNCLE!"

NAHBEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

'09.

2009-01-05T10:14:00.003+08:00

It's 2009.
New year, new start, new resolutions.
A fresh new start to all things new.
Whichever, whatever that was bad for me in 2008, BE GONE! :)

ahhh, a.

2008-12-29T09:28:00.005+08:00

男人都是犯贱的!

I resisted my temptation to text him for the goddamn week,
here's what he message me on FB ;)


Arme1n (Today at 1:59am): whats up girl hope u had a good wknd and have a good week maybe c u out new years eve

Sigh.. And I saw you leaving with a girl on Christmas eve :(

On a separate note, the cam-whore in me wants a LX-3!

:)

2008-12-12T09:30:00.004+08:00

It's already mid-December!
Woooooh!
Looking forward to the next few weeks! :)

Last night, attended the Singapore Tatler event at Amara Sanctuary..
Given that the Dugong & soon-to-be-Dugongs have been RSVP-ing for ST events, but we have never attended once!
So.. this time, off we went!
Wah lau, the crowd damn atas lor!
The next ST event, I'm gonna dress up!
And I saw Al there.. He still looked damn gooooooood!

Ahhh, its ZoukOUT tomorrow..
Eh, I will not give high hopes for this.. Sigh.
I don't know what I wanna wear toooooooooo!

And oh!
You see, the office network blocks alot of websites, like streaming media, advertisements, adult/sexually explicit (haha!), etc and also facebook!
But me being the facebook queen, I figured out another way lah!
Which is m.facebook.com :)
I'm loving the new platform!
It started with pictures viewing that is as small as my thumb.. then 1 month ago, was 3 times bigger.. and this morning, woh! It's the normal size!
Wooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!
Love love!

My cutie friends gave me a new tagline -
"Gretchie do all sports, celebrate all festivities and sex in the lion city."
;)

So what's in store for 2009?

KL :)

2008-11-27T10:06:00.003+08:00

For some reason, I'm feeling exceptionally happy today!
With some colleagues commenting my chirpiness early in the morning!
Hahahahaaa..
Maybe its 'cause of the ROADTRIP to KL tonight!!!
Wheeeeeeee!
Oh, and there's a Thanksgiving dinner :)

Rai.

2008-11-18T17:45:00.004+08:00

So yesterday, I was helping to find choir to carole for the client's Christmas Appreciation party for this coming Thursday..
I suggested calling our very own local duo - J & R.
I ~~schemed~~ called my sister to get her ex-teacher, R, who is also known as Mr Siva, his number.
WAH.
His voice damn damn nice lah, gotten high just from him.. Keke.

Ahhhhhhhh, can you guess who is R now? ;)

2008-11-17T09:27:00.004+08:00

cheebye.

2008-11-14T10:11:00.003+08:00

First thing in the morning and I hear unpleasant fucking information.

To hell with you BITCH for calling me & LL, monkeys.
You think you are that capable to be where you are today?
I would say its because you would 'por' the ex-GM.
Afterall, its a known fact that the ex-GM is a lustful person.
And I have seen it with my own eyes.
Stupid lil' fucker.
You can say whatever you want from now on, and I won't be bothered.
I know where I stand and how I fare, and its not for you to judge.
Stupid par-jiao eyes!
CCB, confirm 'chao', cause your husband seldom fuck you.

C.

2008-11-10T17:15:00.005+08:00

It has been sometime since I post up (juicy) stories about me.. :p
This is gonna be a LOOOONG post lah..
Names changed in this post.
Here goes..

Exactly 1 month ago, a friend introduced me to this guy, C.
He expressed his interest in me and wanting to know me more.
So we went out once for dinner and movie.
Once, I repeat.
On the very first date, I sort of freaked out by his behaviour!
Simply because..
1. He actually saved pictures of me from my FB account in his mobile phone.
2. He thinks we are dating seriously already..
3. He is ready to introduce me to his mom!
WOAH.
This guy is.. fast & furious man.
I kinda kept quiet about it..

Following week, he came to my workplace just to send me home..
On our way back, he said he had something for me.
It was a bar of chocolate from Lindt.
He wanted to share it with me on the bus way home.
But I didn't feel like eating it then, so when I got home, at my doorstep, he decided to give me that bar of chocolate.
You know what really pissed me off?
He asked if he could have a bite of that chocolate before giving it to me.
WAH LAU. Sibei NIAO.
So he did, bit 1/3 of that, and passed it back to me.
(BTW, that bar is still sitting in my refrigerator.)
Honestly, I got turned off by that lah.
C'mon, the chocolate is not even branded and its for ME! :(

After that day, I spoke very little to him.. and ran away as fast as I could when I bumped into him at Attica.
Thank God for my gfs!
They knew I was sorta scared of him, and when he tried talking to me, they will pull me away :p
So, C sensed something was wrong and asked my gf, J, about me.
J told him that he might be scaring me away and soon after, he texted me the next day.
I told him that I will sit down and have a proper chat with him.
That chat didn't happen.
Before I could arrange a day for a proper chat with him, a drama ensued.

Last Saturday (1 Nov), I was at Attica for a friend's birthday.
To be precise, I was with 3 Indians and 1 Chinese guy (the girls were all drunk and left!).
Out of the blue, C came Attica alone and looked for me.
There I was sitting at the courtyard, with the boys, and C was standing at one corner, hands on his chin and giving me one look.
WTF!
He came at the wrong time.
And what makes it even more wrong was, he wanted to talk about us at fucking 3am at the fucking courtyard with fucking loud music in the background!
I told him it's not the time now, and that I'm celebrating a friend's birthday.
Apparently, he said he would leave and I went up to Attica Too's VIP.
Just when I was with the birthday boy, C came up to us and said, "If you guys wanna make out, don't bother about me, just go ahead!"
Bloody hell. I was offended.
Birthday boy stood up for me and said, "If you like her, you fucking respect her!"
Something like that lah, don't quite remember already.
So C realised his mistake, apologised and introduced himself to my friend.
I was FUMING MAD!!
I didn't want to hear a word from him and asked him to leave, get out of my sight immediately.
I don't know, I think he was to the point of super duper irritating.
ARRRRGH.

He did disappeared from my sight.. but followed by text messages from him for the next 17 hours!
Horrible right? Insane right? Way impossible right?
But he did it anyways.

See the pictures: (note the timings)

I think this guy is mentally deranged!
It seems like he's having a conversation on his own, I didn't reply to ANY of his messages at all!
He's a behaviour therapist and I think he should see one for himself!
Totally insane.
Sigh..

And just today, he sent me a message through FB.
Here it is:

i get the day off and its raining like a mofo!

anyway i wanted to write to you today since i probably wont be able to for the rest of the week. regardless of whether you still want to give things a go, i thought i should let you know about a couple of things, just to get it off my shoulders.

the bad stuff first, namely the way things become whenever i saw you out, its like dr jekyll and mr hyde! this is probably the sole reason why i flipped out that one night, it just accumulated to that point, which prob wouldnt have occurred if we had a chance to really talk. you seem to become someone else when you are out, quite cold and aloof. I couldnt even say hello to you, when thats all i wanted to do, and worst of all, i wasnt being introduced to any of your friends other than J and T. that really confused me.

on the flip side, when its just you and me on a date, you are this sexy, intelligent, caring, conversative and humorous person that i want to be with.

I want to respect your space and i feel ive been doing my best to do whatever it takes to make this work. Im glad we are talking again, but id be lying if i didnt say id be happier getting to hold you once in a while.

thats all.

X

C.

Should I still remain as friends with this guy?

engagement.

2008-11-10T10:48:00.003+08:00

For 23 years of my life, I have never attended a malay wedding before.
I have some malay classmates in school who have gotten married, but I was never close to them, thus wasn't invited.
So, next month, I have a malay wedding and an engagement to attend and both are just 1 day apart!
:D
Jujube, I'm happy for your engagement lor..
But but but.. You still need to do product testing lah! :p

<3

2008-11-02T15:46:00.003+08:00

Feel so love.. cause LL & Uncle Kel bought me..

And it's already November :(

horoscope.

2008-10-29T17:31:00.003+08:00

Everyday, I would receive my daily horoscope readings in my email inbox.
And I think this particular service has been spot on in my daily life,
especially today's..

You are safe among friends and protected in a crowd. The old ways of doing things will once again be the better method to follow. Innovation risks failure in a pressured situation. People will fall back on habit rather than adapt to new ways.

2008-10-29T08:53:00.001+08:00

I have a date with Kanye West tonight :)

rumblings.

2008-10-20T12:30:00.005+08:00

My random rumblings..
Or choose that 'x' at the top right hand corner if you want.

It takes 2 hands to clap, 2 sides to a coin.
Whatever you have said, or I have said, it makes a difference.
I can never be a hypocritical person.
But life is such, you have to be one sometimes to cover your own ass.
Isn't it?
I will never look upon to that someone.
I'm sorry, I can't fake up that smile.
I feel that, you have to learn to appreciate/value the new.
If you keep longing for the old, how the new feels?
Its not very nice, not nice at all.
It's something not only I felt.

Life's been pretty much much much mundane.
The same old shit week in, week out.
I need new excitement to perk me up!
I need to find that passion again.

I complain when there is none, I run when there is one.
Cannot, too strong.
I cannot take it.

AHHHHH, I hate Mondays!
My pointless rumblings.

j2.

2008-10-19T16:27:00.003+08:00

If only I can remember forever,
his drunk look..
his cute smile..
his cute turquoise polo tee..
his shaven head..
his lil' goatee..
his vodka lime soda..
his house dance moves..
his 3 mac burgers and large sprite..

Ahhh, he's so goddamn hot!

Colorgenics

2008-10-17T00:16:00.004+08:00

2 years back, I did a Colorgenics test. The result was scarily true to my personality then..
I did the test once again, and yes, still as scary!
Here it goes..
Much of the time you are preoccupied with things of an intensely exciting nature. You need stimulation and variation with all matters pertaining to your life. You want to be regarded as an exciting and interesting personality being able to charm and influence others. You use powerful strategies with predictable outcomes so as to avoid endangering your chances of success or undermining other people's confidence in you.

Most people are conditioned by their environment and you are no exception. You are an extremely emotional person - so much so that 'the wrong word' can lead you to tears. You feel other people's pain. You feel the need of sympathetic relationships and a pleasant work environment in order to develop and grow. You are an impulsive, loving individual with a great deal of inherent feeling.

All the problems that you have been experiencing of late seem to have become a part of your life and there is little that can be done to change the situation. Your emotions run high - but even though you feel as if at times you are about to burst this situation will pass. Try to release your pent-up emotions by participating in some extra physical activities like running, swimming, whatever. There must be some favourite pastime, not necessarily strenuous, that can help you to relax.

It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.

The fear that you may not be able to fulfil or realise all of your ambitions makes you work and play hard. The thought of being prevented from achieving the things you want leads you to play your part with frantic fervour.

A pleasant surprise from my FB inbox today :)

Juliana sent you a message.

Subject: eh Gretchen

"My lovely Gretchen - are you the same Gretchen from Peicai?

I'M SAVING UP!
cause I wanna go NYCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!

2008-10-06T14:54:00.001+08:00

With Nick & Carol.

So, once again I had my oh-so-embarassing-curly moment last night..
A short summary from Bel who wrote on my FB wall..

"we were having dinner at far east plaza, gretchy opened a can of coke, poured into a cup, took a sip, not satisfied at all, she looked ard for salt. In a split seconds, she was shaking a metal bottle marked with the letter "S" vigorously, to her surprise, powder landed on top of her fizzy coke. WALA she made herself a PEPPERmint coke!"

2008-10-03T11:50:00.000+08:00

Recently, I've been going on a makeup spree :)
Retail therapy rocks my socks lah, haha!
I was reading ST Urban recently, and there was a write-up on mascara..
The one I'm using right now, Maybelline Intense XXL, do lengthen my lashes but I hate the smudges it creates on my lower lid once it gets oily :(
So, I decided to indulge..

YSL Everlong Mascara
It's damn damn damn nice!
I like how it opens up my peepers instantly!
Highly recommended :)

And then, I went on to the Benefit counter..
Ahhhhhhhhhh!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE their stuff!
How I wish I have enough moolahs to lay my hands on every single item!
Anyhoos, I bought JUST 2 items :D
I prefer cream blushers to powder ones.. and ever since, I NUOVI discontinued their range of cream blushers, I've been using MAC powder blushers.
Me no like. No like at all, cause it doesn't stay (for me)!
Decided to try Benefit's sheer cream blusher in

Shh!!
The name, so cute right? I think the others are 'Ooh!!' and 'Ahh!!'.

I was then deciding between Eye Con (helps to fade dark eye circles) & Depuffing Action Eye Gel.
Asked for the salesgirl opinion and she said I should get the latter :)

Which means, I don't have much dark eye circles (or I choose to believe.. :p)
I quite like the eye gel, I THINK it works!
Hahaha.
Or maybe I should refrigerate it for maximum results.. will see, will see.

Next on my list would be the..

California Kissin' gloss.
I like the blue tint sparkles on your lips while giving you a minty fresh scent!
Its said to make your pearlies appear whiter too!

Also the..

Erase paste.
It's only in stores next month onwards.
Wheeeeeee. Can't waitttttt.

2008-10-02T11:18:00.001+08:00

I don't like :(

I've been a M1 user since I was 14, never once I redeemed my SunPerks points, so wasted right?!
So this week, Matt-tiu told me about the M1 Box Office movie preview.
For the first time, I redeemed!

2 pairs of Mamma Mia tickets ;)

Come to think of it, me been a M1 loyal customer for SO long, I don't get any rebate or loyalty programs :(
I think the RED provider is better..

The weekend, MM was the official hotel for the NBA Asia Tour 2008 :)
And I chou kpo, teeheehee.
Went for the opening ceremony on Friday during lunch time and saw Uday as he was the emcee for the event.

Uday hosting the event, very bad sound system though. I couldn't make out what he was saying.. :/

The Orlando Magic Dance Team.

NBA star - Nick Young and the Lion Dance troupe.

Nick, Uday & VP of NBA.

Later in the night, was the VIP party at St James..

And with all the NBA staff..

Richie

Victor

Jin - the Korean cutie.

Richie & Fanny

Janette

Flora

As J2 was out of town for a bball tournament in KL, got him to ask his teammate, John, who didn't make it as he's nursing an ankle injury to make a guest appearance :)

That's John in the middle, judging for one of the games.

I was a judge too for the Marina Mandarin Dunk (picture later); is in Janette's camera.
Trying to find my picture online as I was doing it together with Nick Young and his girlfriend, Carol Rodriguez :)

On a separate note..
Met Pat at the NBA event, and he shared that the people from a sports brand are trying to hook him up for an interview with Lewis Hamilton :)
And he promised to bring me along!
Oh wheeee!

I want this, I want that.. but not enough moolah for this and that.
I'm very broke even though I just gotten my paycheck but STILL, I wanna go for the Kanye West "Glow in the Dark Tour" concert.

So being the cheapo-Gretchie, I found 2 options to win tickets! :)
K lah, me no selfish so I will share share..

Option 1: Send a picture of yourself geared up for the concert and send it to Ministry of Sound with your contact details.

Option 2: Download Kanye West tracks from Nokia Music Store and you're automatically in the lucky draw. The more you download, the higher your chance is.

Remember I purchased the Nokia Music credits for SINGfest? Hehe, now I have good use for them :D
Pray hard hard hard that I'm lucky enough!
Whoopee-do!

2008-09-02T00:41:00.002+08:00

Ah-Tiu's creative juice :)

I cut out an ad of Incredible India off a magazine and paste it on my desk..

and that inspired Ah-Tiu to design my birthday card :)

....

.

Cute hor?
Hahaha, and that's really my bra lor!
Oh, cause I was suffocating the other day so took my bra off and he secretly took it to take a picture! And I didn't know! Nabeh.
Thought I hide my things quite well.. :/

The team went for lunch at Ikea today, we took a Benz there lor :)
And LL called me song (suaku), cause I was so fascinated by the car's blue-tooth system that can linked your handphone's calls to the car! Ppfft.

All of us before digging it..

2008-08-18T10:59:00.002+08:00

I've to wear my old clothes to realise that.. I'VE PUT ON TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WEIGHT!
Okay Vina, I might have said I didn't mind it yesterday.. But today, I'm not feeling good at all.
I feel like lard.
Looking back at my pictures then, like 7 months back, my face was much much smaller. Not only face, my overall appearance lah.

Depression mode, checked.

And it was just last month at BKK that I can wear my favourite silver shorts:

I can't even fit into it on Saturday lor!
I breathe in hard to button up, and if you're sitting opposite me, the buttons will definitely burst right onto your face once I sit down.
Yeah, its THAT bad.

So, bear with me while I go see the doctor at Hougang again..

:'(

2008-08-18T01:17:00.002+08:00

It started with Teresa saying that I am hungry and time to go hunting, and Hanjie being a woodblock, he took that literally.
So he said since I just complained to him that I put on weight, I shouldn't be eating at 3 in the morning..
Both of us went -.-", and we explained to Hanjie that we meant sexual appetite. HAHAHA :$
So he said I should learn the lyrics to the song, "Would you go to bed with me".. "Have this song meh?!", I asked. "Try YouTubing it!", he answered.
Then, Teresa said there is also a song titled "Smell yo dick" WTF!
There IS lor.. seeeeeeeeee:

Would you go to bed with me

Smell yo dick cannot embed, so click here for the URL.
Quite addictive leh.. HAHA :x

They call me - Princess Dugong.

Fast facts :)

Type: Mammal

Diet: Herbivore

Average lifespan in the wild: 70 years

Size: 8 to 10 ft (2.4 to 3 m)

Weight: 510 to 1,100 lbs (231 to 499 kg)

Group name: Herd

Protection status: Threatened

Size relative to a 6-ft (2-m) man:

Profile
These enormous vegetarians can be found in warm coastal waters from East Africa to Australia, including the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Pacific.

Dugongs are related to manatees and are similar in appearance and behavior— though the dugong's tail is fluked like a whale's. Both are related to the elephant, although the giant land animal is not at all similar in appearance or behavior.

Dugongs graze on underwater grasses day and night, rooting for them with their bristled, sensitive snouts and chomping them with their rough lips.

These mammals can stay underwater for six minutes before surfacing. They sometimes breathe by "standing" on their tail with their heads above water.

Dugongs spend much of their time alone or in pairs, though they are sometimes seen gathered in large herds of a hundred animals.

Female dugongs have one calf after a yearlong pregnancy, and the mother helps her young reach the surface and take its first breath. A young dugong remains close to its mother for about 18 months, sometimes catching a ride on her broad back.

These languid animals make an easy target for coastal hunters, and they were long sought for their meat, oil, skin, bones, and teeth. Dugongs are now legally protected throughout their range, but their populations are still in a tenuous state.

Some believe that dugongs were the inspiration for ancient seafaring tales of mermaids and sirens.

And wah, my new favourite sport.

Just for you, Vina :)
Keke.
Vina have to arrange lunch with me one week before, and I told her I will write it down on my calendar to remind myself :)

And Vina was damn cute, she texted me in the morning, saying "I hope you didn't forgot our lunch date."
Of course not babe ;)
Shall we have dinner next week together with the rest?
Daniel said to have a bbq, but I thought was a little bit troublesome.
What say all of you?

So, I was lamenting that I've put on so many weight, and Bull being a nice guy, offered his personal training services to me.
Heh, I don't have to pay lor..
But I'm such a lazy bum, I rather not exercise lah.
So, Bull (a personal trainer) ordered some pills from the States specially for me :)

Hope that works.

New love - Water Polo :)

Last week, the Singapore Water Polo invited 9 of the Olympics teams to Singapore for a pre-Olympics warm-up tournament..
And MM is the official hotel :)
The craze started last Thursday, with me going goo goo-ga ga over Croatia at the welcome reception.

But I only managed to take a pic with the Australia team.
Good enough! The captain (on my right) is damn cute!

Dragging the Princesses along with me to the match on Saturday, wasn't a disappointment at all.

Croatia - World's best Water Polo team.

Back to the hotel with more eye candy :)

My Croatia hottie :)

Then, last night was the farewell reception at Tanah Merah Country Club..
I was ~~arrowed~~ assigned to sit with Australia team.. I didn't even eat.. Hahaha!

Thomas & James.

Hee, my favourite team - Croatia

My hottie asked me to sit with him, and I SHARED THE SAME CHAIR WITH HIM! :)

My hottie - Aljosa

Aussie's captain - Thomas.

And with Tim..

Ahhhhhh. And I hear that the NBL or NBA (whichever, still the same, the basketball!) teams are coming to stay with us..
COME SEPTEMBER QUICK!

2008-07-31T19:46:00.003+08:00

I love going convenience store, and like what Jing said, "I practically go WOW at everything!"
For the longest time, I have been wanting to get a thumbdrive whenever I stepped into the 7-11 outlet at CQ.. Finally, I bought it last night.

I chosed the 1gb just cuz the cap is pink, and it cost me about $16..
And just now, Auntie LL showed me hers.. the exact same one as mine.. 4gb, $20! NABEH!

2008-07-30T16:54:00.002+08:00

I was disappointed to find out from Cheche that the Levi's-Singfest promotion was islandwide sold out on Monday..
And I remembered receiving an sms from Nokia on Saturday, by purchasing $80 credits from the Nokia Music Store and might have a chance to win the Singfest ticket.
So, I decided to try my luck even though the tickets would be given to the first 100 customers who purchased.
Look what I received in the email today :)

Yeah!
I gotten the Singfest tickets at $80!!!
And what's more, I get to download about 46 songs legally with one year validity :)
Thank God Sumiko managed to find some good lobang too!
She has a friend's boyfriend working in Nokia, and staff get to purchase tickets 1-for-1 at $200.
So, whoever still wanna buy, let me know! :)

2008-07-29T22:40:00.003+08:00

Lai lai lai, Gretchie show you the messy state of the room..

SUPER DUPER MESSY WARDROBE!

My corner in the room..

Sister's corner in the room..

Planned to leave the office early today so I can pack the room a little.. Ended up leaving the office at 7.30pm.. and was almost 9pm when I got home.. :(
Had maggi noodles and watch the Channel 8 drama..
And should get ready for bed soon lor..
Hours so short, sigh..

2008-07-25T12:05:00.003+08:00

Whee. I've a new camera :) - Canon Ixus 80 IS.
New chic pretty baby in Champagne.
All thanks to my lil' sissy who offered to pay first :)
Thank you, Meimei!
And I've found a new home for my new baby - my new Kate Spade pouch :)
Wow wee woh!

So.. I know I've said that for umpteen times that..
My room is in a TOTAL MESS!
And it's not that I do not want to pack my room..
It's just that.. simply TOO many things to even store them properly & orderly.
No space at all!
The only space I see is the floor - the biggest surface area, so I simply chuck my stuff on the floor and it piles up day after day..
The easiest solution is to take a black trash bag and throw everything away..
But but.. I can't do it lor.
I do very much want to go home to a nice, clean environment.
Just so, when you get home, you feel at ease chilling in your room with the dim orange lights.. Dancing around naked also feel more shiok lah. Teeheehee.
But the whole place is just too cluttered, damn pek chek just to see them.
My trip to Ikea next Monday would be good.. :)

2008-07-21T11:56:00.002+08:00

SINGfest 2008.

Exclusive Citibank SINGfest offers at Levi’s®

SINGfest ticket + Levi’s® Tee at only $139.90
SINGfest ticket + Levi’s® Jeans at only $189.90

I think this offer very worth it lor. But I don't like wearing jeans, plus Levi's cutting is always too small for me..
The only time I own and wore a pair of Levi's was in 2003 :'(
And now, my that one and only pair of Levi's has been transformed to a skirt and because I can't fit into it (waistline problem lah!), my sissy is wearing it..
Baaaaaaaaah.

2008-07-17T10:56:00.001+08:00

I wanna go SingFest! :(
Both days tooooo expensive!

Sunday would be good :)

2008-07-16T16:13:00.004+08:00

While doing my research on wedding ads, found the following ads pretty funny.

Nono, I don't wanna be a bride like that..

During lunch today, I saw a pretty plus sized lady and I asked Auntie LL if my size is comparable to her..
And Auntie LL said.. "YES!"
I was horribly mortified!
:(
I wanna be Yuan-yuan no moreeeeeeeeee.
But just after lunch, I went to look for my GM's secretary..
And she ~~offered~~ gave me chocolates!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Do I have the 'come-feed-me' look?

Just as I'm typing this.. Pekpek bought the butterfly dough fritters for me! :O

2008-07-15T23:54:00.000+08:00

I succumbed to KS's sale.
HIAKS!

2008-07-15T00:35:00.003+08:00

The last week saw me meeting up with many different groups of people on different days!
Looks like it was a good week for meet-ups!
Am glad to catch up with the people I love amidst of all our busy work/school schedules..

***

Started Barfly on Thursday for a nice girlie dinner with Jujube, Amritoz, Devi and of course, the star of the night, or rather the reason for the meet-up was for..

Sukhpreet :)
Decided we should arrange a meet-up for our darling - Pdeep's girl since he is not back in Singapore this summer holiday. Btw, you're deeply missed! :)
It's understandable that Sukh was nervous initially as we were all strangers to her!
Haha, we broke the ice pretty soon and it ended well!
Maybe its the free flow of bubbly we were having, heehee.

A lovely night :)

***

Finally got to meet-up with the poly gang in FULL attendance.

I've not seen Azli & Alice for the longest time ever!
Prolly the last I saw them was on my 21st birthday, and I'm turning 23 next month already lor!

Dinner was at Fish & Co., Glass House, with us seeing Josie's new boyfriend.

Hahaha. Yes, it's Alfred!!!!
I STILL CANNOT ACCEPT THE FACT!
It has got to be one of the most traumatizing 'happenings' of the year.
Sorry, Jo! :p
Also, Ryan became his own boss! He's a hawker now - a soup stall named 'Souper!' at Lau Pa Sat.
Really admire this bugger for his determination..
This is the only bugger who would scream "FAT ASS!" (calling me..) at the top of his lungs across the atrium in NP. Nabeh enough.
But I still love him for his nonsense and advices.
Shall we do this once every month?

***

Young Guns meet-up at Damon's place with only 4 of us!

I'm so proud of myself that I managed to drag myself out of bed with only 2hrs of sleep (with the night's partying!), having a dip at Damon's pool.
I'm very determined not to waste my weekend away, fucking precious you know!

The boys played tennis..

***

My weekend ended with me meeting up with the Ongs and Chak.

We had dim sum buffet at MM and went to view Chak's new pad.
Dan got into a minor accident with the other party escaped, as in hit-and-run.
So it was a police case.

After all the hoo-has, the Ongs, Chak & I went to the 'Chee Pow Kai' beside Maju Camp for dinner and then to Sixth Ave, The Tea Party, for some scones and board game!

Baby Catelyn is learning to talk already! Damn cuuuuuute!
Chak & I travelled (almost!) the whole of Singapore today!
From MM to Hougang, to Tampines, to Keppel Bay, to Pasir Panjang, to Temasek Boulevard, to Pasir Panjang, to West Coast, to Bukit Timah, to Sixth Ave and lastly, home sweet home.

Fucking awesome durian paste!

***

Oh, we were at Chak's new pad when I gotten a call from J2 :)

***

I love my new blogskin! :)
Just ONE problem.
I can't seem to align my flickr badge in the middle! :(

2008-07-10T16:22:00.002+08:00

How to lose weight like that?
When I told canteen's Ah-Nai that I want some chix wings..
Next thing I know, she came into the office with 9 chix wings!
I can feel the love..
Hehe.

2008-07-08T00:10:00.002+08:00

Classic.
Cabbed home from town after dinner & shopping with Bel & Char.
Spent an hour chatting with the cabby!
Cabby told me MANY MANY MANY stories!
But guess, better not blog them. Don't wanna get into trouble with the law :)
Anyways, my shopping loot:
Bought 3 bras and 1 bedroom slippers from Cotton On Body at only $15!
A dress and bra (again!) from F21.. and a pretty ring from Miss Selfridge :)
Not gonna shop for the rest of this month!
(Or maybe not.. :P)

2008-07-07T09:06:00.002+08:00

I think its really time for me to lose some weight.
I had this auntie from Housekeeping telling me just now in the toilet..
"Wah, your tummy is quite big for 4 months!"

WAH LAUUUUUUUU!

2008-07-07T02:11:00.000+08:00

Finally, YIPEEEE :)

J2 :)
