New Year Resolutions

This is my plan for 2009:

By Feb 14th to get version no.2
By March Holis to get version no.3
By Mayday to get version no.4
By June 27th to get version no.5
By National Day to get version no.6

I have to admit that I have thought further than that

By Sept Holis to get version no.7
By Nov Holis to get version no.8
By Christmas to get version no.9
by 2010 to get married

No I'm not delirious.
What exciting resolutions. One must have plans in order for dreams to come true

My Love Languages

N called and told me something about love languages and here are my results:

Profile Results

Score Love Language
6 Words of Affirmation
7 Quality Time
3 Receiving of Gifts
7 Acts of Service
7 Physical Touch


How to interpret your Profile Score:

Your highest score indicates your primary love language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary love
language. If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary love languages). If the scores of your
primary and your secondary language are close (for example, 10 & 9 respectfully), it indicates both are important to
you. Whatever a significant other does to express love in either of these languages will get emotional points with you.
The highest possible score for any language is 12.

Having a clear picture of your primary & secondary love languages will explain much of your past behavior Think back
over the past and ask yourself "What have I most often requested from significant others?" Chances are your answer
will lie within the scope of your primary & secondary love languages. You have been requesting that which would meet
your deepest need for emotional love.

Looks like I am so easy with love and so easy to love. Qili, Linda, Jan, Jo and even my whole family has given up on me for that. But of course I really do not understand why gifts rank so low. I like nice gifts and money as well :P... Tiffany anyone?

new year's eve

once again I have gone through a year frightfully exciting at work and disgustingly retarded in romantic life. I am running a temperature, dragging a box of tissue around and wrapped up in my blanket trying to climb out of my box today and some people invited to parties this evening are trying to box themselves up. Shame on them. Should post nermal and them in a box together to abu dhabi...

Ferrari Aurea


This car shares my name... I think its way hotter than myself :P

I got it from:

Well behaved

Yes! I was very well behaved in the office today. I did not curse and swear and I was such a lovely dear sitting in one corner!

Anyway, A suggested that CL, HW, himself and myself sign up for SEX (whatever you think it is, it is not what you think)

The Solar System

If I were anything in the Solar System, I must some funny planet spinning round my own orb. I think I will take some light years before I finally get round the sun.
Currently, my box is nice and cozy. I like it. Occasionally I take a peek into the real world. Not my kind of stuff but I'll have to be thrown out of my box soon. Work is starting again. Sigh...

Christmas Dinner 2





Okie, Ping, Von, Bianca, Joan and myself met up for our Christmas dinner at Novena Square's Curry Favour just now. The food was not fantastic. Neither was the service but the company was great. I acyually forgot to take my goft along so I had to pop into Watson's to get the same gift. I got the gift from Joan. One of my favourite stuffs! Nail lacquer and body polish. LOL

Tristan's First Month


This is Tristan at his first month party. So cute right?

Dinner at M Hotel

The whole gang had our traditional Christmas dinner at M hotel today and we also exchanged our gifts. I drew Gehua this year and Teck got me. Of course Xiu was the one who did the dirty job. She got me this from Paris. Really understands me so well.


Every year, they either get me make up or cats. This year, it's a combination of both. I love it!!!!

When we went to M hotel, we were shown to these seats:


As all of us are non smokers, we wondered if we could be changed to the non smoking seats, however, they said they were filled for the night and so we had to sit there. We were however, in a very safe spot.


Well, the service was not fantastic but we entertained ourselves well, we also had many servings of durian pengnat and were very happy with that dessert.




Our Happy Gang!

What's on the Christmas Menu

So this year I think we are going to have:

  1. Shepherd's Pie
  2. Seafood spaghetti
  3. Fruit cake (I'm going to try Nigella Lawson's Recipe)
  4. Log Cake
  5. Cray Fish
  6. Ham
  7. Roast Chicken and
  8. Anything else anyone is bringing over (Probably lots of alcohol)

Reviewing my own blog.

Okie, I just read my last year's entry. I think I have upset Nick as well.

In the midst of upsetting him by reading something, I realised all these words are words that I had written before, only in not as perfect language. I actually forgot I wrote this "Just like he has hurt me. I am afraid that I would have to hurt others as well. I cannot move on. So it would be unfair that I be with someone else. I have the tendency to linger and look back but no decency to move forward. Like a spirit in limbo."

Reviewing can be so painful, but I have realised this in the past few days as well, my pain did not start there. My lingering spirit was lost somewhere else long ago.

Ah Tham may get his wish after all.

Handsome lecturer and KK's House

Jan and I talked about her very handsome lecturer who gave her an A+... How I wish I had a handsome lecturer so I would not have any excuse to miss my class :) I don't mind getting a lower grade for that. So bimbotic right?

We went on to handsome boyfriends. Well, commented how nice it would be to have the Mayday's lead singer Ashin to be my boyfriend. Wow, rich and handsome and good boyfriend. Well, told her not so easy. Not many handsome guys around. hahahahahahaah! Well, if there are, we must be in our dreams. I must sleep more often.

Just came home from KK's house. Was at Compasspt in the afternoon with Linah. Sophie's trembling in her sleep and Li Nah is thinking of getting her a long sleeve shirt because Sophie hates the blanket. Well, she bought 3 and we bought some donuts, nuggets and mussels to take to KK's house for tea.

The children kept us running up and down but were very well behaved. Well, Emelia was there and we all waited for Ah Lian to come. Ah Lian came late and Li Nah had to leave before that because she did not bring dinner for Sophie. Never mind, we arranged to go for lunch on New Year's Eve.

Lian and I stayed for dinner. Initially we wanted to go out for coffee but Stanley had something to attend to and so we stayed behind and Lian and I took Joshua to get some crackers for tea. Stayed till we had to leave cos KK had to go out with her sis. Very therapeutic day. Qili is also finally home. Can call her to talk tomorrow.

Updates

so far I'm now awake. I think it's just level 9.5 only so no spontaneous combustion. Li Nah's trying to counsel me. Everything in the box is threatening to come up as well. I told Li Nah I prefer to hide in my box first and reorganize things later. Maybe I should go shopping too. I said I wanted to update stuff so here goes: 我决定不恨了,也决定不爱了。 我只想回到盒子里。

more morbid than I thought

just had a very fun day and a good dinner featuring my favourite ayam buah keluak at Vivo city. Well, the children were very well behaved and the weather was great. At dinner, I sort of told my friend about my "cat" behaviour. Well, it's morbid. I explained that I'm rather like a cat. I'll wait out for my prey and even if my prey is dead, I would put it by my side. Sounds familiar? It seems that I have successfully walked into my trap again and this time into a deeper pit. Julie said that I'm just weird. She knows me best. Nonchalance does not suit me nor disguise me well. Anyway i didn't expect my first song to on my hp to be a mandarin song. Mayday's "I'm not really happy". Counting the number of years that I'm not really happy adds up to 15 freaking long years. Sometimes its downright depressing. 2 days before was level 8 depression. The day before was level 9. With any luck I'll reach level 10 today and combust spontaneously. My friend also told me a love story. I guess we all have our own weaknesses. What we are willing to give up for others.Too bad I cannot type Chinese here. I stick by may day's lyrics. Will update on the pc later, If I have not combusted.

我值得真正的快乐

I had to do it. To go steal a peek and make myself miserable.

The tree is slanted, the bulbs are out. I need a new tree. No one at home understands why. The tree is 9 years old. Those who know me well can do their maths.


This is the song I was listening to in Jo's car. I deserve happiness too.

五月天- 你不是真正的快

Of cos its the holis again!

Well, first of all I know that I have not written in ages and many of my friends are asking me why. Well, writing does require input and I have to have input in order to write.

Oh oh! Did I remember to say that my godson is finally born on 12/11/2008? His name is Tristan Evans Giri and I am so proud of Julie (his mummy). He is a healthy little boy who looks very much like... ok let's just put it this way. he is a handsome boy and according to his proud daddy, he has since grown 5 cm taller. Well done Jules! Way to go!

Then comes the holis. I hate writing about work and there is absolutely nothing to write about it except that I was pretty pissed in the beginning of the holis, having being posted last minute to do another report writing and getting minimal help from a partner. Well, at least my boss apologised but some people can be so tactless! My big bos actually kept his promise to me so I pray that the next year will be a better year.

So far for the holis, I have gone to many sales. I am a sucker for sales. Ask me where the latest is and I can rattle them off hand. I went to the private sale at Robinsons with Sophia, thanks to my friend Albert and I did not buy anything at all! However, I did manage to get Sophia to purchase 2 ck tops and burnt a hole in her pocket. Before she managed to do so at Robinsons, I also burnt my pocket buying a dress at Miso in Centrepoint for my D & D. It was kind of nice. Aquamarine blue that fades to green with frills at the side. Kind of like a Flamenco dress. Pathma kept asking me if I were going to perform the Flamenco.

The second week of holis, I was asked to go back for a series of meeting for the first two days then proceeded to laze for the rest of the week. I also went to Vivo City with Mrs Lau and we had a great dinner and bought cheap garment bags at Daiso. I spent a day with Julie and Tristan. Julie was supposed to take a night off to ghave dinner with me but she had a fever so she could not make it. I went to her home instead. Whenever I visit, Tristan seems to be on his worst behaviour but he is after all, a new born. How can I bear to get angry with a baby? I wanted to buy my phone from Singtel also. I have been living on borrowed phone for the past few months. Mine died as I mentioned before. I settled for the G 900 finally but when I had the money to buy the phone, it was out of stock island wide. So I was very displeased with Singtel for not wanting to give me a voucher where I can offset the price by $50 at any exclusive dealers. Long story. I took over the phone from Joyce and she took my plan to buy a $0 phone. I also went swimming twice that week. Oh yeah, I went to Queensway with Jan and Kelvin because Kelivin needed a pair of shoes. everything was expensive and we managed to bargain the price down to I forgot how much. It was very enjoyable. I did not buy any tennis skirts. My pals will know why. Snyway, we headed to Balestier for porridge buffet but there was a long queue. We then went to a hotel near Joo Seng Road for a similar buffet but they were closed for the night. We finally settle on Old Airport Road Food Centre. Great stuff!

For the third week of holidays, I met up with Qili to discuss her plans for me as an emcee on her wedding day. I was very happy that she asked me to help out and then proceeded to work out the script with Jac so that we could give her our best. We also wanted to give her a secret toast. Many Chinese weddings do not have toast. We wanted to give her a memorable toast so we started interviewing her and she was very shy about it. Then, as I had said, I am a sucker for sale so Jac and Qili accompanied me to Taka where there was an additional 10% discount for Taka members and I bought so many stuff. I went on to Kinokuniya and Borders and Qili and Jac left for their next appointment. I lugged all my purchases and headed to Plaza Sing where I thought I could buy more stuff form Marks and Spencer. I really have to take my hat off to myself. I was there with all that heavy stuff for at least an hour. The stuffs were so heavy Roy had to come to the MRT to help me to cart them home. I did shopping like these for another 2 days before spending a relaxing Thursday with Julie and Tristan again. This time, we also did our annual ritual of wrapping the presents together.Oops! I forgot to mention that I went to Annie's house on Wed after such a long time and had fun with so many babies. All of them were so cute and also, I got to meet my many of my ex colleagues. I learnt so much from them and I have decided that I shall take Tristan and Julie along for our next meeting. I also ordered a baby toothpaste for Tristan. Kiasu right? hehehehe.


I don't know why on Wednesday, I suddenly started looking for a passport. I looked high and low for 2 hours but to no avail. I decided to leave it for the next day. I received an sms from Jan on Thursday that we are going to Melaka on Friday. I knew it. Everytime I loses my passport we would be going somewhere. Anyway, I found it. I was in a place where I looked at least a dozen times before a day before. Julie gave me some money to buy diapers if I have the chance and my mum gave me some money as well. I did not have a chance to change any ringgit.

On Friday, I was pleased to know that our whole gang was going. At the customs, Jan, the cartoon one, mistook the word 'men' as 'bear'. Even the custom officer could not help but laugh along. Well, we bought many packets of tau sar piah in Melaka and were heading for JB when we got ourselves into this.



We thought we had struck a rock but... hmm... the tyre burst! We were lucky to be alive. We did not have a spare. a Malaysian car pulled over and offered to help to no avail. Then an Singaporean MPV pulled over and the driver was even kinder than the first. He spoke fluent English and Malay and he was so kind to help us call the expressway toll but to no avail. They would not toll a car with a burst tire and a private toll truck pulled over to offer to toll the truck to Yong Peng for $150 ringgit with toll. We thought we were sure going to get extorted at Yong Peng but with another $150 ringgit, we managed to get 2 tyres changed. God sent us many kind souls to help us that day. Thanks be to God. Anyway, we got a nice makeover at a cheap, cheap rate. I got a wash and blow at $16v ringgit and a pedicure and an express manicure at $35 ringgit. Luckily I did not blow all my money on another kebaya that day if not I think we would have been stranded in Malaysia... Anyway I stole these photos from jan's blog.

On Sat, I went to Qili's place to do the last touch up fr the script and dinner plans and I went to Metro sale again... Told you I was a sucker for sale and bought more stuff. I also went out for dinner with Teck and all. It was very nice with a charcoal bbq but was very far. It was all the way in Sunset way.

Sunday is Qili's big day. I was very happy for her. My mum and aunt specially went to compass point to get me some flowers for my hairdo and my aunt also offered to drive me to the salon. We could not find Qili's house so we settled for 1 at Sin Ming. They did great for a small amount and I proceeded to help Qili at her room. Her mother was very happy to see me and so was I. She is just like Qili, a very gentle lady but surprisingly could tahan my nonsense, like her daughter. I also had great fun with all the babies and friends and I told Boon Poh that since she was doing so well, I might as well invite her for my bogus wedding next year. lol

Very eventful week.
