A great Pre-CNY celebration

Mischelle, Clarissa and I have been telling one another "eh lets have cup noodles together tonite for supper!" but it has been delayed again and again due to clar's super late nite TKD sessions, shell's never-ending LoveBites meeting, and me falling asleep early everytime.

So on Tuesday (we failed to eat supper together AGAIN), we promised each other that we are gonna eat 'Tuan Yuan Mian' (reunion cup noodle supper) together on Wednesday(last nite la) by hook or by crook to celebrate CNY!

haha during my meeting in school, I suddenly recalled Jess has a hotplate at her room! Then thoughts link here link there, and that triggered me to sms Clar n Shell that maybe we should just have steamboat for reunion dinner! bwahaahaahaa

Clar was obviously excited about the hotplate! So we have confirmed that we shall eat Reunion Steamboat Dinner. After meeting Angela accompanied me to Nanyang Supermarket to get the ingredients, grabbed all the stuff that I want and hurry back to hall.

By then it was around 9pm already, we actually wanted to eat at their room, but afraid that their room will smell after that, so we finalised that we should just eat at the corridor n block everyones' way! Bwahaaha so Shell and I were busy preparing the food and the hotplate conscientiously, while waiting for dear Clar to come back...

Waited till 10+ finally see her lo....by then we were so hungry liao! Argh! we wasted no time and immediately get our rice and eat steamboat! Yay!

Even though the food was not very fantastic, I enjoyed it a lot! Nice breeze and cooling weather, Nice company, simple and very "home" food. I definitely cherish these simple yet wonderful moments that make my hall life so memorable! =)

Some pics of our simple but very sweet reunion dinner last nite:


Our hotplate reunion steamboat dinner @ the Corridor!


Our food!

The best discovery of the day!

Finally its the end of the week! Went to meet Eggs @ JP right after lessons and had dinner. After that we went to Bugis village cos I gonna have my brows done! Tmr's the performance and my voice sux now. its coarse and my throat is terribly dry. I dun expect I will do well tmr, but i just pray i wont go out of tune. Duh. Eve, you better dun laugh or make funny faces or else i see u i think i will just burst out laughing on stage loh~~~

Back to Bugis village... so after my brows are done we went shopping around... OMG we found these super cute hp accessories! Hehe he bought 1 for himself, as well as 1 for me! We call them Da tou... cos it has a big head and a small body. so cute! shall take pic soon!

Then we proceeded to Bugis parco Kino to get his fav mag. Shopped around hoping to find nice new year clothes but to no avail. Aiyah but I'm so glad also la! The other day I managed to buy a pair of crops and 2 tshirts! I'm so freaking happy cos I thought I cant fit into them lo!!! One from Guess (yes, I can wear their L! Bwahaahahahaha) and the other from Dorothy Perkins. Woohoo, this year's new year attire shall be casual and comfortable. My favorite Xmas pressie this year was from him. I was soooo caught by surprise can.... It's a pair of Birkenstocks!!! my goodness.... so nice, he definitely know the designs I'll like! =)

So more or less my new year attire will be like this:
Guess tee + denim crops + big white bag + Birkenstocks OR
Dorothy Perkins tee + denim crops + big white bag + Birkenstocks

Haha I know its kinda stupid cos I intend to wear the same pair of crops and only change the tees. cos I only do visiting on 1st and 2nd day!!! So, no point buying so many clothes also la....Okok, shall not digress....

So shop to no avail... then we went to this new "shopping centre" opposite Bugis Breadtalk - The Icon. OMG its like the chinese saying, "The sparrow has all its organs complete despite its small size".

Eve! we MUST go there!!! lots of cute stuffs and nice clothes! most importantly... theres this BIGGEST DISCOVERY OF THE DAY! There is this manicure shop, and their charges are like so freaking cheap!!!

Express Manicure + Express Pedicure - $12
Classic Manicure + Classic Pedicure - $22
Classic FRENCH Manicure + FRENCH Pedicure - $35

its sooooo bloody cheap rite??????? I intend to go there liao... really regret signing my package... I'm so proud of my discovery today. haha

Fun before school really starts...

Went Partyworld with Mischelle and Clarissa for ktv session the other day... Its actually a long-ago-planned-session-but-we-failed-to-meet thingy. We said we wanted to go since before exams last sem! bwahahaaha so finally we managed to go before school really starts la... or else no chance to go liao...

So we braved through the rain and finally went to Partyworld at Clementi... Here comes the irritating part. When we were at the counter, we asked the person to calculate the different charges if we use voucher or package. So obviously he said voucher is cheaper and will cost around 30+. Ok we went to the room, had fun singing!

Mischelle hoh... aiyoh really very princessy girl girl! always choose the cute cute high pitched songs... bwahaaahaa then we sang some duets of fan wei qi and other girls... Clar even said we were like lesbians! haha... oh talkin about Clar, I really love her husky voice... damn sexy can! especially that Zhang Hui Mei song too bad I forgot the song name... and she doesnt sing with the "fake-voice" (i dunnoe the correct term la)so I'm really amazed! She's also a Sun Yan Zi fanatic... keep singing her songs haha... eh girl, I try to see if my uncle can get the Sun Yan Zi concert tickets...

Argh... I reallllly hate the rain..............

A New Year

New Year's celebration was not that spectacular. Initially, we planned to go camping on Xmas Eve just like the past years... but it was raining lions and tigers so we decided to postpone the camp to New year's eve. But I dunno wats wrong...it stormed on both holidays! New Year's eve was raining lions and tigers too! So we cancelled it, and had bbq at home instead.

My New Year Resolutions:
1. Get a driving license
2. Better results
3. Save more money
4. Stay healthy and happy


I can't think of anymore! shucks! I'm such a boring person. Bwahahhahaha I'm rather free this week as school just started so only Math classes... My fridays are terrible... all the way till 530!

JIVAS 3RD OUTING - Manicure / Pedicure Session

Yesterday was our TAI TAI day, busy having mancure & pedicure session! Bwahahaha initially was horrible cos we went to that place only to find out that branch is no longer providing such services!!! I immediately called the person I made appointment with, and she told me its the 1st branch... at Bencoolen... so aiyah, very turn off! But we still walked there and reached within 15 minutes =)

So, we reached Bencoolen, hunt around for the shop, and finally found it. Apparently Steph got even more excited hehe! We clarified about the costs, then choose colors... Eve and Steph did the Premiere Mani & Pedi, whereas I did the Premiere Pedi only... who to blame? I'm going to camp with Eggs to celebrate Xmas,and how am I gonna pitch the tent with my handicapped hands!?!?

Eve wanted French for her hands, and chose another girly pink color for her toes.. argh I'm picturing Eve with the horrendous Zi-Luo-Cha striking purple nails! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Stephy chose a shimmering brown for both her hands and feet! At first I chose a darker brown, but end up choosing the same color as Steph's!

After choosing the colors, the session started... we positioned ourselves comfortably on the "massage" chair, soak our feet in the honey bath with "ccjou"(i don't know how to spell!!!) bath salts. I turned over and look at Steph, she looks EXACTLY like a Taitai cos 1 staff is attending to her feet, and another doing her nails, n the point is, she showed me that I'm-a-taitai-and-I'm-enjoying-my-manicure face!!! *pengz*

There was this part when the girl started scraping off the dead skin on our soles with a blade-like tool. Steph totally gross Eve and I out when she saw the dead skin and told us "PARMESAN CHEESE!!!!!" WALAU...that was gross!!!

Okok lets cut the story short, here's how our nails look after such a pampering session!


Our Nice Toenails!



Me being Extra


Hehe, nice rite! Eve gotta rush off to the airport first... so Steph and I went to settle dinner @ Pastamania! *slurp slurp*



I ordered Marinara! *Yummy*


Finally! TODAY IS THE-DAY! I think we'll really have fun today with all the pressies exchange n stuff. Haven thought of what to wear though... Hmmm... Shall bring my dua-king-kong camera so that we can take better pics. Yay! *waves pom pom*

Eventful weekend!

Went to Victoria's Secrets warehouse sale on Saturday! I must say I'm kinda disappointed cos the variety is very limited. I only bought 1 bra and 1 camisole set! Luckily Nike was having sale too... Bought 1 sports bra, and 2 sleeveless basketball shirts for Eggs and my Dad. Oh ya, not to forget helping Stephy dear get her "hooong serrr" sports bra. BWAHAHAHA.

Later in the evening, Eggs and I went to my cousin's 21st birthday celebration @ Downtown East. That place is really horrible I dunnoe why people like to book chalets there, With such a small room that has no space to walk around, and also the bbq pits all packed together! Its like u are bbqing your food, and someone's bbqing your butt! DUH! Nevertheless, we managed to survive throughout the whole event (packed with all my aunties gossipings and young little cousins running around the whole damn chalet!) and went back to my place for sleepover.

Followed on Sunday, we had ktv session with my SSTG! Did lotsa catching up, crack jokes, gossiping and of course preparing Eileen's "surprise" birthday celebration! Its almost the same stunt as Stephy Dear's birthday, but the pple there are less ONZ. and I dunno y Eileen dont seem to be surprised at all. Haha, talk about anti-climax. -_-"

Dinner at Pastamania... normal meal, had some coffee @ Starbucks then off we went to Mt Faber to look at the World's Tallest ARTIFICIAL Xmas Tree! bwahahaa corny sia... Ok, so we reached there at about 945pm... we were lucky to be able to find a parking lot! *Woohoo* so off we go to the viewing place... The breeze was cooling, and the night view of Singapore was great. While waiting for the thing to start, I'm glad i was accompanied by Xmas carols, flashing lights on the trees and of cos, sweet nothings from Eggs. *cheeky grin*

So the clock strikes 10, and POP POP POP! Fireworks started! Hehe... it was great, but its really too short! But of cos its understandable la... its a daily event leh...imagine if they put fireworks for 5 minutes daily, i think by the end of Xmas, Mt Faber management have to declare bankrupt liao... Arghhh I'll be having pedicure with JIVAS tmr! So excited!!! cant wait for our xmas celebration!!! *pulls hair*

The worst ktv session

Today's dinner treat from Shan was awesome! We ate at Phin's Steakhouse before meeting the peeps at Partyworld@HelloSingtel. Sizzling hotplate Ladies-cut Sirloin Steak with mushroom sauce for me, and grilled chicken with asparagus for Shan. Nice! Lots of chatting and gossiping... I'm just so glad that I met her. She's a great friend. Even though we meet up maybe once every 3 months, we still have lots of things to talk and feel close to each other. Once we see each other, the 3 8 mode automatically start! Haha

I'm happy cos she loves the pressie i bought for her, she likes the uniqueness of being able to mix n match the scents. Oh ya, finally passed her the earrings I bought for her when I went Bangkok in May this year. Yeah rite, after so much delay. =P So, after dinner, we went to meet Weirong, Terence & his gf for ktv. Oh man, this is the worst ktv group I've ever had. Its not Shan, I definitely have some crazy songs with her, but its just the anti climax atmosphere the other 3 peeps have. wahkao dont say liao...make me more angry...

Let me name the few ktv groups I have: Eggs, *inspired by Eve* SSTG (Sec Sch Tuition Grp), SSF(Sec Sch frenz), Far East gang, and definitely JIVAS! My favorite would CONFIRM GUARANTEE PLUS CHOP be JIVAS! followed by Eggs, SSF, then SSTG. While I was singing just now, i wanted to sing Missy Elliot's Work It. But i realise Stephy dear is not around, and the 3 peeps might think I'm mad. I wanted to sing Nicole Kidman's Something Stupid, but Eve dear is not around! Then, I wanted other songs, but the mood just doesnt seem to sink in! DUHHH I'm not gonna ktv with them anymore!!!

By the way, I got the latest news from Zhihui that I'm selected to represent Sing & Strum to perform for the concert @ Esplanade on 19th February 2006 (JIVAS - make sure u come!). Which means I'll be performing for Choir, Accapella, and Sing & Strum. Its supposed to be good news rite? but OMFG, I JUST REALISED HOW MUCH SONG LYRICS I HAVE TO MEMORISE!!! *smacks forehead*

Rosti with cheese sausage!

Woke up later today...went to meet enen for lunch n to grab her Esprit members card. After lunch, its off to Bugis to grab shan's birthday gift! To my disappointment, theres nothing great there. so sad~

So bla bla bla, after shopping around, I decided on the mix & match perfume from Bodyshop. I'm soooo attracted to its rainbow colors and the casing. Nice! *big grin* Ok, so after that, came home to rot... surf net and i decided to get rid of the old layout! so sian of it! I love the current one hehe.

Went to Millenia Walk for carolling, I must say the management is stupid to let us perform at the New internal block. So few audiences! But nevertheless, we completed all 12 songs. Then off we go to Marche for dinner together! I ordered Rosti with Cheese sausage, topped with sourcream! OMG i love the cheese sausage! its so cheesy, nice, a bit salty though. Then the 5 of us shared fried calamari! *woohoo* damn nice. I STRONGLY recommend Fried Calamari from Marche!

Too bad, my choirmates were all camera-shy. =(

so far so good....

After paying up, all of us were allowed to pick up the xmas gift thingy, and i got a free cheese fries! Yay! shall go there next time to eat free cheese fries! *hiak hiak*

Oh back to the story, so after all the shopping, En n her beau had to go first, so Ade & Eddie & myself went to Starbucks @ Raffles city for a coffee session.

Another terrific and crazy day spent with the Jivas! Filled with laughter and craziness. Omg we were like mad women bullying little kids! Shall blog more about it soon! Have to go for my beauty sleep and to prepare for tmr's carolling session. Paragon 2pm!!! =)

I'm so sick

Hai I'm dying! I'm so sick now... last nite's temperature was 38.5 and i having irritating running nose and a super duper terrible sore throat. Gulped 2 panadol tablets and drank lots of Pi Pa Gao, ate lots of strepsils. But it dont seem to help...


I felt as if there were millions spikes in my throat, and each time i swallow my saliva.... omg.... die off better. My voice is totally different now and i'm still having running nose. Shucks big time!


How do I scream during ETP with the girls? How do I sing during my carolling sessions? Fug it.

What's your value in the friendship?

The story goes like this (names have been edited):



Mildred treats Diane as one of her besties, she shares secrets with her, loves to dine and ktv with her, shops and talks to Diane on the phone very frequently. February came, it was Diane's birthday (her fav. shopping haunt is Mango). Mildred spent many days thinking of what would be the best pressie for Diane, and even went to town several times to search for it. Mildred finally decides on a elegant yet casual chic clutch bag for Diane. As Mildred wasn't employed at that time, she was actually quite financially tight.



When she was about to pay for the bag, she thought to herself, "I can only afford this $25 bag, i wonder if Diane thinks its cheapskate?". But she still proceeded to pay for the bag as she can only afford that. Mildred wanted to tell Diane how precious she is to herself. So she decided to hand-make a present for Diane. Mildred spent about 4 days to complete the gift.



Diane's birthday came, and Mildred gave her the presents. Diane seems very happy and touched with the presents , and Mildred felt glad. =)



August came, it is now Mildred's birthday. She treats all her besties dinner at a restaurant and is quite excited about what presents she will receive. Weirdly, everyone came with surprises and gifts except Diane. She did not give Mildred a present, claiming that she has no time and she apologised. Mildred was kinda disappointed but she can understand that Diane is very busy as she is working as a Business Developer (with a monthly income of $2.2k). So she accepted Diane's apologies and everyone had fun.



November came, Mildred and Diane met up one day to have dinner. Diane said she wanna pass the birthday present to Mildred (YES - after such a long time). So, they met up. Diane gave Mildred a Perlini Silver's paper bag. Mildred thanked Diane and they continued with dinner.



At home, Mildred opened the present and saw a pair of earrings. As Perlini have limited designs of earrings, Mildred immediately recalled that the pair of earrings are only selling at $5.90. To make things worse, those earrings were actually on sale! 50% off!!!! YES, YOU HEARD IT RIGHT! 50% OFF! Which means Diane only paid $2.80 for it.



Mildred felt sad, and she thought to herself "Do i mean nothing to her? Am i only worth such an insincere present? how important am I to her? If Diane is financially tight, I would appreciate so much if she can make me a card...".



Many people will say friendship shouldnt be measured with monetary means. But if a friend of yours whom you cherished did this to you, wont you feel hurt or weird? Will you be so graceful to say that its just the thought that counts? Wouldnt you think you are worth more than $2.80? As in, even if your fren is really broke, wouldnt you wish she made you a card?


Now, what are YOUR views?

Quiz Time!

My Lovely 24th

It's a lovely 24th...my guy woke me up with a peck on my lips and a hug. =) I was lazing a bit... then we decided to hurry up before thc clock strikes 11! Went to mac at my market to have Mac breakfast~~ haha.... its been a long time that we can relax ourselves by strolling to the market to have breakfast together then shop for groceries...



Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at mac! Sipping the hot tea slowly, eating my wonderful Big breakfast~~ Woohoo! Very nice! =) Then we went to the library to do some reading. Finally we can read books of our interest! Then there he went, busy choosing his design books while I borrowed recipes and handicrafts books! Duh! I'm seriously a non-fiction person.



Then we went to buy our all-time favourite - chocolate ice blend with pearls from this small bubble tea shop just below my house. nice and cheap! rich creamy chocolate, chewy pearls just for $1.20! bwahahaha... its hard to get deals like that now man...



After that we went home to watch Tom-Yum-Goong. Nice but also sorta disappointed cos some of the stunts were repeat from Ong-Bak. So.... kinda nothing new. =( Have some time to play with my hammies... I'm pleasantly shocked that Xiaobai is recovering!! Fur has grown on his wound area! he's recovering!!! *smooch Xiaobai*



Finally its time to meet the ultimate gurlfrens of mine! shall blog about it later!
