Y 仙女下凡


was woken up real early yesterday.
at like 8+am?

the reason:
bai baba bought a $300+ suckling pig to 拜拜 at home.
no special reason except to thank god for some stuff.

it's ridiculous to buy such a huge pig.
you know.. those that people buy when they're marrying..

= =

i ended up having to clean up after he cut it..
and the whole kitchen floor was damn dirty and oily..
had to like mop FOUR times alright.


what's more..
i had to "deliver" some of the offerings to ah ma's hse.
at the same time, i lent ah ma my blusher and blush brush coz she was telling me that she wants to doll up for the wedding on saturday.
hahaha..

please lor..
i'm so nice alright.
i even brought 2 different shades of blush for her to choose okay.

and and and.
i even helped her paint her toe nails red.
hahahaha!

anyway, she was asking me if i needed to bua the blush myself or if ma needs them..
and i told her ' no worries! i've got plenty.'

hahaha.

well.. at least now my friends ought to know why i'm hiao.
it's because my mother is super hiao and i'm always complaining how she loves to target my stuff..
and that's because my ah ma is also very hiao!

see the link now??
hahaha!

met muay fan after going to ah ma's place and went to citylink to help winnie get a bag.
after which went back to town.

let me tell you..
remember that i said that maybe muay fan and i may be crazy enough to chiong for the mac hello kitty launch party??

when we went at like 4+pm yesterday, there was still like 20 vacancies for the party??
we wanted to go initially.. but remembered the part about our friend being a mac ma and she may be going for it.

so...
算了.

anyhow, i really quite like muay fan's eye look yesterday.
and i told her that.
very clean/ fresh looking.

but too bad.
no photo to show you her eye look.
doubt i'll be able to capture that in the photo, given my super pro photo taking skills.

digress a little.
here'a a website which muay fan recommended me.
-->makeupgeek

this girl by the name marlena gives tutorial on things like how to apply a certain eye makeup, how to clean your brushes, how to put on falsies blah blah.
so.. it's very worth a visit if you're interested in makeup.

now back to where we left off.

we were walking home last night, talking about rubbish when we heard this really loud "AHEM" behind us.

guess who we bumped into?
KEVIN.
吓倒~

damn dumb can?
he was like asking me where i stay and why i'm walking home.
please...
it isn't as though you've never come to my place before.
= =

lastly, the photos pet took when we met up on monday.



it was lunch hour..
so there really weren't many people..
just a couple of tables.




this does look a little pathetic.
but pet said that their sashimi tasted great.




desserts were alright..
think the chocolate one is the nicest of the three.




that woman is posing with my dessert!!
so act act lo!
asked me to "lend" her my cup of dessert.. and the spoon!!

hahahaha!



my idea to pluck the orchid on the table.
very hawaiian, sunny look despite it raining heavily outside.










a lot more orchids.
lalalala...




very 贱 ok...
smaller than me and still have the cheeks to hide behind me.
*diao her like crazy*

that's all.
got to go get ready to teach piano.
after that going for pedi!!

super long never go le..
okay..
just a month.

can't wait for the wedding dinner tomorrow night.
无比的兴奋!

Y


pet and i really stuck to our hiao- 发花痴 theme today.
for the very first time, we both wore dresses out for shopping.
haha.

lunch buffet at greenhouse was superb.
my craze for prawns has been declining, most prob because i had been stuffing myself with them.
but the prawns i had today revived my passion for them once again.
haha.

the cooked food was great as well.
it's like those typical buffet you go to serves fish in those fillet forms.
but at greenhouse, they serve the entire fish.

food that i think deserves a try:
- chilled prawns
- pork shoulder
- chocolate chip ice cream
- some vegetarian mushroom
- some chocolate mousse cake
- BREAD!!

they've got like quite a few varities of bread there.
seeing the spread excites me!
i love love bread.
esp those deng ko ko type.

seriously... to a bread lover,
i really think there's something different about the bread they serve.
very 香.

anyhow, we took a couple of dumb/retarded photos there..
but they're with pet..
so let's hope she sends them to me soon.

after which we went town.
town is my shopping paradise.

let's talk about my dream bag.
话说the other day i was out with winnie, i went into that X brand boutique and got snubbed by this damn SA of theirs.

it isn't true that i didn't intend to buy anything there.
wanted to give in to my urge to get the pair of earrings i wanted.
but because of her wonderful service, i obviously didn't even want to part a cent.

the whole incident made me have a super negative impression of X and their stuff.
so i left for LV, thinking to myself i'm so not going to buy 他们家的东西.

also.
i will never forget her name.
it's sharon.

= =

back to today.
i've more or less decided that i shall get a LV bag instead.
so was asking pet for her advice as to which size i ought to get blah blah.

she asked me to show her the X bag that i wanted initially.
because of the super bad experience, i wasn't very willing to go initially.
but... heck man.

this time.
the experience was totally different.

when asked to see their classic shopping tote,
this SA didn't even give me their catalouge to view to like tell her specifically which bag i wanted to see in real.
she took out like 4-5 different shopping totes for me to see.

best is.
there was this other shopping tote that comes in 4 colours and she took all the colours out for me to view.
so, 9-10 bags in all for me to choose.

she just waited aside while pet and i tried on the bags and stuff.
with smiling face somemore.

when i apologised for making her take out so many bags [which i seriously didn't, i only intended to see ONE bag], she just kept assuring me that it was totally fine and not to worry about that.

you tell me.
isn't this just the kind of service that one deserves at such high end boutiques???!

rest assured.
when the time comes for me to buy that bag, ie. save enough money, i will get it from her.
she so damn deserves the comission.

again.
i will not forget her name.
she's tracy.

enough about this dream bag.
my dream of getting it before his birthday is so out of question when it's like damn ex.
plus there's a 90% chance that i'm going for a holiday soon.

we shall see.
starve also must buy a X bag.

in the meantime, if i lose the determination to save, i will get muay fan and pet to chant "XXXXXX" to me.
hahaha.
i pray like crazy the chanting works.

next up is the mac hello kitty collection.
checked it out at tangs and i spent $169 on a mere 3 items.
the lip conditioner, mirror and brush set.
the brush set is freaking nice and irresistible!

the launch date is 6th march, so i just preordered them today.
apparently the bracelet, which is god damn ugly, is already sold out.
wth.

the good thing is i found a very nice and 大喇喇 MA by the name of susan today.
very helpful and stuff..

those information she provided were pretty good and i even asked her if hans is still working at mac.

hahaha.

i've already gotten her to reserve the pressed powder in kitty kouture [which is like a more expensive collection].
that's like going to be $133 with swarovski crsytals on the compact and a refill.
sounds very tempting.

great.
i found the picture of the mystery powder, which is actually pressed powder.



shall dropped that susan a msg to get her to reserve another mystery powder for me as muay fan wants one too.

btw, susan told me that if i cut out this coupon from this mth's style mag, i'll get to attend the hello kitty collection launch party at vivo iff i managed to be the first 50 to present the coupon at tangs this thursday.

hahaha.
perhaps muay fan and i might really be crazy enough to go do that.
i mean.. i've already planned beforehand to go down with her this thurs to do the pre-ordering.

yeup..
that's about all for today.
a pretty good day i must say..
off to bed.

p/s: my craze/ passion for bags hardly has a chance to die down.
it's in me since schooling days.
and i happened to mean early schooling days.

Y simple family affairs


[[ sunday ]]

话说, we had a family gathering over dinner last night.
considered a massive one, with just 3 absentees.

actually my family was the one planning for the dinner.
and super great.
ma didn't plan that well that we two had to sit with a whole bunch of cousins in their teens.

hardly have any 互动 with them for like some freaking many years.
but anyway..
it wasn't that bad.
listening to their conversation made me laugh out loud like mad.

it's like given that i don't really charp them, i would just eat my dinner quietly at the table.
but their conversation were like so amazing that i just had to laugh at some instances.

here's a part of the conversation, making fun of the youngest cousin at the table.
apparently he's like quite curious about some really ridiculous stuff.
eg:
- he would ask this cousin who's going to the army soon if he's worried about going in there and if there's really going to be ghosts there.

yong chang[17 yrs]: jian wen.. 你真的怕鬼啊?

jian wen [14 yrs]: -after some thoughts- 有一点.

hahahaha.
so hilarious can??
he meant his words lor.
like truly.

best is he even asked that yong chang before if he felt scared about waking up at 5am in the morning to go school.

faint!!
literally made me 喷饭.

and when the whole table of people were laughing non stop at him,
he went "eh.. 不要这样leh... 我最小leh.."

anyhow.
it was a real good gathering.
ma said that she thinks ah gong, ah ma in wherever they are, will be very 欣慰 when they see us getting along well with one another.


[[ saturday ]]

saturday --> meant to be spent at ah ma's place.

told ah gong, ah ma about the amazing black story and they too laughed like crazy.
ah gong somemore said "wah.. good good!"

decided to bring the poor tobby out for a walk.
he's like forever cooped at home because nobody has the time to bring him out for walks.

p/s: there's a little confusion here.
now, we aren't exactly sure if he's called tobby or tommy.
but i think tobby sounds more 顺口.

though i'm now more customed to calling him tobby,
when it comes to 关键时段, i'll call him javier.
hahaha.
so does bacca!

and javier finds it amusing himself.
haha.
but he did pretend to be annoyed and said "你们可以不要再叫它javier了吗?!

as i was saying, tobby super seldom gets to go for walks,
so he got really excited when he saw the leash that we spent damn long putting on the body harness for him.
he just couldn't stop jumping at us man.

since he hasn't been out for so long, we decided to bring him for a run.
can u imagine??
we took turns to run with him.

eventually, we were so tired that we just had to sit down at the playground.
passerby must be thinking we're damn weird because we kept asking tobby to sit when it's so obvious we're supposed to be walking him.
hahaha.


[[ things to look forward this week ]]

today:
am meeting pet later for lunch buffet at greenhouse at ritz carlton.
super excited!!

guess what's our theme today?
HIAO-- 发花痴!
hahahahahahaha!

but.
i think i'm going to be late.
hahahaha.

saturday:
wedding dinner of a granduncle at meritus mandarin.
he isn't that old as he sounds.
perhaps early 30s or even late 20s?

it has been years since i went for a wedding dinner.
hence the excitement.

alright..
i better get going.
shall try the paul and joe primer today.
kevin made it sound so 神奇!

guess what pet told me yesterday?
she said that jm is still with that woman lar!!
wth.

so i decided to use her account to check that out via tm.
and told her that i most likely will curse and swear like crazy.
hahaha.

whatever lar.
may they get married lar huh!
and perhaps they can invite me to their wedding to throw confetti into the air for them.

anyway.
was asking pet howcome 某人 is in her facebook.
and apparently they "got together".

WOW!
CONGRATULATIONS!
*throws confetti*

it had better be that case..
because i'm needed to throw the damn confetti everywhere.
super busy okay!
*roll eyeballs*

next right.
i was stunned by mr carrot.
got no idea why.. but he seemed to have 'resumed' back to his past looks.

seeing his photos now has that somewhat same feelings as seeing him for the very first few times.
suddenly register why girls would go gaga over him back then.
for eg *ahem ahem*..

yuep..
so pet.
please let him know that i'm willing and want to have coffee with him now!
go and arrange!!

hahahahahaha!!
p/s: that's obviously meant to be a joke.

Y


here to introduce this fabulous product which i've tried for 2 days.
it's so good that within 2 days of trial, i can tell that it's something worth giving a try.



Renew's rose hip oil


话说, this is something emily recommended like ages ago to deb.
something which can lighten scars pretty effectively.

apparently, according to muay fan, there was a big fuss over this rose hip oil in cozycot sometime back.

deb said that her scars lightened and her legs seemed to be fairer now.
haha.
that's after atmost 2 weeks of usage.

now for my review..

i had these 2 scars on my hand, all thanks to winnie.
she went crazy and scratched me on purpose.
ok. i did provoke her.
and it was so super duper painful that i 马上飙泪.

my god.
is she like some kind of animals?
faint.

anyway.
that happened in dec.
and till now one of the scar is like still not exactly healing..
as in can't see it closing up.

seriously..
as we get older, don't you find that things get harder to heal?
like a damn mosquitoe bite will leave a scar behind for god knows how long.

anyway, two days ago, i bought the renew rose hip oil and as of this morning,the wound is like healing and lightening at the same time.
as for the other scar, it's almost disappearing.

神奇or not?!

the best part is you can apply anywhere on you body, etc face, legs, hands blah.
i'm using like 1 big fat drop it on those acne scars on my face, scars on my hand and leg.

but please remember that you aren't supposed to apply them on your acne/ pimples.
apparently will worsen the problem.

as for the the smell,
it reminds me of those freshly plucked leaves.
somewhat along that line..

besides that, on the box, it states that the rose hip oil is effective in the treatment of:
- scars
- uneven skin tone
- wrinkles
- ageing skin
- skin cell repair

super good man!
can lighten scars and somemore anti-ageing!
my favourite!

yuep.
so for those who are interested,
this rose hip oil is available in watsons, guardian at a super affordable price of $20.35.

p/s: emily recommends it to be stored in the fridge as she claims that it'll attract ants somehow.

but.
for deb and i, no such thing.
so i conclude that emily 家的蚂蚁很hiong.

hahahaha!

Y


i've got things to blog about!
it's about this former classmate of mine, Y.

this afternoon, friend X told me that she found out this Y is actually working in mac.
omg.
it's pretty shocking a news to me.
never ever thought that any of my classmates would ever become a MA,
somemore mac MA.

anyway, X learnt about this via facebook and she gave me her facebook account to check things out.
haha.
so it's like we're "SHARING" an account.

so...
dear friends..
anything that you wish to update me on and do not wish to update me in person,
you can do it via facebook.
X will gladly pass on the msg to me.

alright.
back to Y.

i don't exactly mind if Y happens to identify herself as Y.
i mean..
honestly, i think Y's makeup is just mediocre.
and muay fan definitely is more up for the job than her given her makeup skills.

X told me that i could go and sign up and be the SA.
well...
if i had to be a 1, i would rather be a skincare SA than a makeup SA.

back to the Y topic again.
obviously i had to share this news with muay fan.
afterall we're pretty into mac at times.

what's more..
both of us are super gan jiong about the upcoming mac hello kitty collection.

muay fan has already called up the tangs outlet to find out about the launching date.
apparently mac at vivo will be the first to launch the collection, on 5th march.

but.. to be on the safe side,
she's going to call the vivo branch sometime this week to confirm the launch date.

and..
as for me, i shall go ask Y for yet another time.

see..
we two are damn damn kiasu.
this is the collection to die for man.

again, there's going to be a super big woo ha over this hello kitty collection for mac fanatics and we HAVE to be early.
rest assured.
we're going to be standing outside mac, waiting for it to open on the day the collection is scheduled to launch.

hahaha.

now.
to share those stuff on my more-or-less confirmed list.



1. beauty powder blush in funs and games
2. tinted lip conditioner in popster



3. hello kitty brush collection
4. hello kitty purse mirror


other than the lip conditioner, the rest are confirmed.
the lip conditioner is like such a popular item that it's sold out even on mac website.
a really lovely colour..
but.. lip conditioner in a tub is like so mafan to apply...

the other thing is the brush collection.
damn shit lor.
i just got a full size brush #187 and #239 and that cost me like almost $150?

now.. the damn brush collection also contains both of them, just in smaller sizes.
wth.
wasted my $150.

anyhow.
i estimate the cost of the 4 items to be around $200.
perhaps i will throw in another beauty powder whic has the hello kitty imprinted on the powder.
damn cute!!

whatever it is.
i MUST NOT fall for the too dolly palette.
the stately black is the colour i've been looking for.
but it makes no sense economically to get a palette of 4 just for 1 damn colour.
right?


p/s: looking forward to thurs.
going shopping with winnie and to check out my dream bag and the earrings i want.

p/p/s: why the hell is my air con malfunctioning?
why is it like blowing out not-so-cool air despite being on the POWERFUL mode?
it's even worse than having a fan on on speed number 1.
damn!

Y a series of short short events


yesterday went movie with muay fan.
finally caught the wedding game.
surprisingly quite nice...

before that, we were having dinner together and we gossiped so much that we ended up being late for movie.
haha.

got a call frm ma during the movie.
it's like i told her before hand tt i was going for movie and yet she called.
so.. must be something quite urgent/ important.

it turned out to be such a super great news that after i put down the phone,
i told muay fan that i had to get out of the threate to scream.
haha..

but too bad..
i'm only willing to share the good news with pet and muay fan.

anyway, this morning i got another call from ma.
it's like.. whenever she's in a good mood, she will call and talk nonsense to me one.

and she updated me that my bro got into bowling club.
somemore said that he has the chance of getting into the sch team blah blah.
because he had the highest score during the trial yesterday.

*roll eyeballs*

the other day, he was telling me that he was going for the trial and i was like... are you sure you can make it?

and he proudly told me that he got 3 strikes consecutively that very day he went to "practise" for the trial.

in return, i stared at him and said "uhuh... so? 然后leh?"
hahaha..
i'm so not an encouraging, nice sister.

next.
i'm like supposed to meet bacca to go choose some materials for scrapping at 12.30pm and i called her at 11am to get her to wake up.

guess what?
when i called her at 12pm, she was still sleeping.
damn idiotic leh!!!!

was having tuition with one of my kids when he found this box of cny goodies.
somewhat like love letters with pork floss in them.

and he asked me: "can you take pork?"

i answered: "i'm muslim."

then we laughed like crazy.
haha.

anyhow.
it's only after the tangs sales,
then i realised i need to stock up on my skincare eg: eye cream, night moisturizer, essence..

was actually damn annoyed over an idiotic, 欠打 act of ma.
but after listening to this 王若琳's voice..
i've cooled down.

her voice is like so~~~~ beautiful.
the exact kind of voice that i think i will hear if i were to be in heaven.
just puts you so very at ease..







sadly, i way prefer her singing english songs to chinese songs.
her vocals are much more suitable for english songs.

shall go get her cd tmr.
am very in love with this kinda of genre of songs.

Y 包痴


remember the bag that i said i reserved like exactly 2 weeks ago?
the SA just called me up yesterday and told me that it has arrived.

super excited and had to start planning how i was to smuggle the bag home without being discovered by my parents.

ma will definitely nag at me unless i say that i'm willing to share the bag with her.
which is... not the case.

bai baba most probably will not say anything about it, but i'm not too sure if he will 打小报告.

so.. to be on the super safe side,
i went down today with debbie,
got home by 7pm,
shoved it into my wardrobe,
then headed down to ah ma's hse for dinner.
[fyi:nobody would be home at this timing.]

haha.

i no longer rely on my "storage" outside the house as my neighbour recently rented his house to this whole bunch of at least 15 china people.
that makes me think putting my stuff there are like so endangering.

not that i'm ostracizing them,
but they seriously are behaving barbarically.

obviously i'm not saying all china people are like that.
i'm saying those who live at my neighbour's place are.

anyhow.
this entry isn't supposed to be on them.
it's meant to be a very happy, delightful entry.

the 巧 thing is that debbie wanted to get a longchamp bag.
having read the forum, we found out that the new season colours just came in and those hito colours are like literally flying off the shelves.
seems like many want to get hold of those hito colours.
so we had to chiong down to sort of grab hers.

but the thing is..
i myself wanted a small longchamp bag in navy.
think it's really nua enough for me.

don't belittle the bag.
though small, it still can fit umbrella, water bottle, any long wallet you have blah blah.
this means that i can simply dump my stuff in it and go out.

it's more of a "craving" for me and yet can be a necessity.
but having just bought a bag, i thought perhaps i should just kiv the longchamp first.

first, we went to the one at taka, but there wasn't colours of our choice.

then followed by the one at paragon.
paragon has the navy colour i wanted..
but still i thought i should kiv.

next we went to centrepoint and guess what?
robinson is having this traffic stopping sale and has this 7% GST absorbed sale till 15feb.

WAH!!
7% man!!
not exactly a lot, but enough as an excuse for me to succumb to my craving.
hahaha.

was telling pet last night that i would call her if i'm very tempted to buy the bag and her job is to like stop me from buying.
though she didn't hurl vulgarities at me as promised, she answered my call by chanting "don't buy, don't buy, don't buy!"

but guess what happened eventually??

yesh.
i got the small, short handled one in navy and deb the medium, short handled in kiwi green.
hahaha.

the damage done is quite a little, but still bearable.
so.. that's great.

now for photos!



debbie was trying out my phone's camera and took this for fun.
see.. if i was to be caught by ma with that huge a paper bag,
i'm so going to be dead.

have you realised that i've yet to reveal what is the bag i reserved?
for those who still don't know, make a guess by looking at the above picture.

** drum rolls **
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.



it's kate spade's portland quinn' tote!
yet to remove the paper thingy around the strap.

this bag is like so lovey.
just the right size, nice colour combination and can be hand carried or carried on shoulder.

the box is a tad too big and i had a tough time finding space for it in my wardrobe.



together with the longchamp.
the colour of the longchamp bag isn't reflected properly in the picture.
it's actually this dark a blue in real life.


well.. i need to solve my bag storage problem.
i've already two big "containers" for them.
but still not enough.

here's one of them which houses those that i use more frequently.



as you can see, my dk bag is like super nua, but good enough for everyday use.
and the black thingy is my 环保袋.
i'm environmentally friendly!

hahaha.

alright.
that's all for this entry.

**happy happy**

[[ fyi: none of the bags i bought is my DREAM bag. ]]

Y 迟到的post~


haven't been updating for quite some time.
too busy shopping and getting ready for the new year.
haven't you realise that cny is so damn important for my family?

wow..
not posting here for some time makes me rusty.
can't even what events are there to blog about.

bit by bit, here and there ba.

many thanks to pet, muay fan, xue feng and winnie.
thank you so much for going shopping with me.
esp to pet.

i'm super touched.
hahahaha!

the sat just before cny, i was in town with pet to use her going-to-expire jack's place voucher.
had a super sumptuous meal.

it was that sat that i realised juicy couture has finally opened in taka.
but damn.
super small and limited stuff..
accompanied by the super marked up price.

very least expectedly,
i bought something from there.
shall not specify what i bought because..

when i showed muay fan, sunya, winnie, they all rolled their eyeballs.
and their eyeballs nearly popped out when i mentioned the price.

so now even i think that i was crazy.
but forget it..
it was a beautiful mistake..--> trying to comfort myself.
hahaha.

it was also that day when i bumped in my tuition kids and piano kids while shopping.
so now i realise that i've got to stopped doing nonsense in public.
in case i get caught by these kids.


[[ 团圆饭 ]]

reunion dinner was at 小叔叔's house.
to my greatest relief, we had buffet this year.

let me tell you..
last year when we tried steamboat for the first time,
i nearly died of starvation.
it's crazy to have so many people crowding round the table and i only managed to eat less than 10 items with that bit of rice.

so.
without being aware that we were to have buffet this year,
i cleverly went to stock up cup noodles back at home.
even bai baba asked me to stock up his share ok.

yes.
so the buffet idea rocks like crazy.
kudos to whoever who made that suggestion.

steamboat idea is only workable in my ah ma's hse.
where you can just have your butt glued there the entire night without having to 让位 to whoever who has yet to eat.

sadly..
due to the passing of my great grandma[ my maternal grandfather's mother],
we can't have any major forms of celebration over at ah ma's hse.
eating steamboat is one..

don't ask me why.
i don't know as well.

back to renunion dinner..
we lo hei this time round..
with very generous amounts of abalone.
my uncle decided to be really generous this year.
haha.


[[ 初一 ]]

spent the morning at 小叔叔's place.
made small talk with the rest and played cards.

saw my nephew alton.
he doesn't look that cute..
but his actions are quite cute.

just found it real funny when xiu mei pointed to ke lei and said to alton "alton.. uncle. uncle."

hahaha.
omg.
uncle lor..
sounds so damn old.

at least she told alton that we are 阿姨 instead of aunty.
阿姨 sounds a lot younger to me.

after i saw alton, i realised that there's like a pattern.
姐姐/妹妹's sons have a high tendency of taking after the 哥哥/弟弟!
which means my son next time very likely will look like my bro!

okay.
now i better start to 改造 him.
hahahaha!

after which, went to my great grandma's house.
this one is my maternal grandmother's mother.
very confusing hor.

anyway.
this side of the family loves to take pictures like crazy.
we are forever taking family photos in the very prim and proper manner.
mind you.. they're using those professional kind of cameras..
faint.

i see my this great grandma about 2-3 times a year..
and she is like starting to be a little gong gong already.
like you've got to keep telling her who you are for a couple of times before she register who you are.

eg:
i: 老嬷, 我是家瑞. [x 4-5 times]

老嬷: oh... 家瑞huh.... 吃了吗??

p/s: the above conversation is done in solely teochew.

after which we went to the temple.
每年必到的地方.
as usual, my knees nearly gave way after 1/2 hour of kneeling.

last stop was to be my mum's uncle's place.
basically there to have dinner and to watch tv and to stone.
haha.

came back home and rested for a while before going to catch "love matters" at 11+pm.
firstly, the movie wasn't really nice.
i don't even think the story is flowing.

secondly, it's so long.
by the time it ended, it was like 1+am.
and 老娘快不行了.


[[ 初二 ]]

my bro and i went to join 阿姨 and the rest for dim sum.
after which we simply went back to ah ma's place.
our favouritest place.
to rot the day away.

hahaha.

can just nua everywhere.
on the bed, on the sofa, on the floor.

要睡就睡, 要吃就吃, 要玩就玩.
爽毙了.

played mahjong and i was the biggest winner!
cool right?!

from 初四 to 初六, i was like always on the phone trying to settle stuff.

i was supposed to help bai baba order hampers for his clients.
so we ordered from hummings as usual.

by right, hampers should reach the clients before cny.
but by left, this particular client, somemore the most important one, didn't receive.

so i had to call hummings up to check what the problem was.
that was on 初四.

and after some checking, this carol told me that the hamper has already been delivered on 23/1 and was signed for.

but after bai baba checked with this client,
he said that they already closed for cny on 23/1.
how could anyone sign for the hamper when the office was closed?

very good.

called back hummings and told that to this carol.
and insisted that i get a copy of the signed receipt from their end via fax.
she told me it was difficult as the receipts are in the warehse.

i was like..
wth.
i don't care.
i MUST have it.
no way i'm going to pay for it if i don't get that copy.

she said she would check and get back to me.

初五..
i had to spend the whole morning calling starhub and linksys hotline.
there was no wireless network in my house.

it turned out the problem lied in the router.
damn man.
it's so damn pek chey having to go through the troubleshooting procedures over the phone.
if given the choice, i would rather a technician come over to my place to do all those stuff.

i was so tied up doing all these troubleshooting things that i forgot about the hamper issue.

so i called again on 初六.
guess what?

this idiotic carol was like blur like crazy like she has never got to know about my case before.
somemore stupid enough to ask me if i want them to try sending the hamper again.

please.
for what?!

ended up cancelling it.
which was exactly what i wanted in the very first place.
and they just refused to let me cancel initially.

got really pek chey and stuff.
updated bai baba and he too got very pek chey.

and..
he called that carol up and gave her a big scolding.

you know what happened last year?
one of the hampers also couldn't be sent out..
coz whenever they tried to send it, they couldn't reach/contact our client.
and in the end..
they sent it to my house.

what the hell right?
you mean we pay to buy a hamper for ourselves??

moral of the story.
give up totally on hummings and perhaps try noel next year instead.
what a flop company man.

alright enough of complaints.

some would have known that i'm trying my very best to save up.
for a bag.
hahaha.
shall not specify as well because my interest for this bag may die down..

i may just give up on saving.

and the other thing is.
sunya and pet both said that they don't like it.
only muay fan said it's nice.

i don't care.
i must save.
i love the bag.

now for the contradicting thing..

on one hand, i'm saving for the bag.
on the other, i went window shopping and ended up reserving a small bag.
good right?
hahahaha.

but so far..
only got compliments for that bag.

the SA said that the bag should arrive in around 2 weeks.
feeling excited about it.

nvm lar hor?
a small bag with a much smaller price tag compared to my dream bag.

when i've collected the bag, then perhaps i will post pictures of it.

sigh..
i just can't kick my bag addiction.
don't wish to anyhow.

winnie and i went to hunt for bacca's bdae present.
her 21st is coming soon.

and we kept suggesting nonsense to her.
eg:
1. 21 mini pens [ she prefers mini pens to normal pens. ]
2. juicy couture keychain [ when she's so~~ not the least bit girly at all.]
3. 21 small small items like piggy banks, cups, mini pens?
4. makeup set
5. swarovski necklace

hahahaha.
i'm surprised she didn't box us.

if i were her, i would be super tulan.
what nonsense is 21 mini pens man!?

hahahaha..

well.. that's truly nonsense.
for entertainment purposes.

as for the real present..
we're comtemplating of getting her a crumpler bag or a new wallet.
but still discussing.

next up..
photos that winnie and i took while waiting for my bro at the dentist the other time.



haven't get ready yet.
haha



i'm pointing at the consulation room where my bro was having his teeth extracted.
like 幸灾乐祸.
very bad hor?



after some editing on winnie's pixon phone.
i look even more retarded.

last photo for the day.



i look smaller from this angle.
hence the choice of this photo.
haha.

alright.
this post ought to be long enough.
till then~
