A Better November

2011-11-07T23:45:00.001+08:00

Was taking a long train ride home, sulking and blaming myself for being such an idiot spoiling someone's mood. November hasn't been going too well for me. Even got a parking summon this morning which made my day worst.

Then I received a msg from a dear friend that brought tears to my eyes. Pls know that I never meant to hurt you and given my 牛脾气 there are somethings which I am reluctant to bend. I am really glad to have you with me through these years :)

Suddenly november doesn't seem that bad afterall :)

Month of November

2011-11-03T22:43:00.001+08:00

I woke up on the 1st November morning, took in a deep breath and told myself what a wonderful month it will be.

Apparently this wasn't the case. This month totally sucks and it just gets worse each day.

Taking a break :)

2011-10-30T14:29:00.001+08:00

The first 2 papers are over and I feel as if it's the end of my exams !

Smuggled to JB last Friday on an impromptu plan for some yummy emperor herbal chicken for dinner. Contemplated to go at first because there are 2 more papers left but I decided to reward myself :)

Overwhelmed with guilt after I came back 5 hours later. Didn't expect my dinner trip to take that long -_-" But I decided to forgive myself since I managed to buy my boy's birthday present !

A preview nearer to his birthday !

Alrights ~ back to mugging ......

Exam Stress

2011-10-19T15:49:00.001+08:00

The exam stress is overwhelming and failure of a particular project is not helping ....

Becoming unsure of the path I am taking .... Need my pillar of strength !!!

A Place Called Home

2011-10-15T13:37:00.001+08:00

It sucks to be living under someone else's roof and having to 看别人的脸色。You have people that spy on you, counting what you eat and take. Constantly telling you how much their utility bill has increased because of you.

If there has to be a criteria for my marriage , the man must have the ability to provide me with our own home.

6 hours at MacDonalds

2011-10-10T15:49:00.001+08:00

Watched a grandma use 10minutes to add 4 sachets of creamer and 3 sachets of sugar to her coffee. However it took her less than a minute to finish the cup of coffee.....

Another grandma goes around Mac helping the staff here to throw trays of food into the bin. Meanwhile, she took some chilli, mixed it with a sachet of sugar and dips the leftover fries that she collected from the different trays and happily ate it.....

Exam 

2011-10-09T11:40:00.001+08:00

All geared up for 2 weeks of mugging !!!

What We Do In Traffic Jams !

Shitty Friday

2011-09-16T19:23:00.004+08:00

I wasn't mad when I didn't get to go for supper.

I wasn't mad when you didn't bother to fetch me from school.

I wasn't mad when you flare up over the phone.

I wasn't mad that your buddy needed you for "special" activity today.

I was glad that today is our anniversary and it's your off day.

I was glad that I was in a damn good mood.

I am mad because I have to wait at your place for nothing on this special occasion.
I am mad because I put on makeup and wore nice clothes for nothing.

Now I am fuming cause stupid blogger refuse to publish my post !!!!

Wonderful Saturday...

2011-08-23T20:07:00.014+08:00

Breezy Sunday Morning !!!! But Bee has to work :(

Loving his new hairstyle !~ More manly...

Raging pimples .... -_-"

After sending baby to work, fetched grace from St. Andrew School and visited Baby Jovan ! Getting cuter than ever !! And Igot lucky that day as he was in superb mood. So we kept playing with him, snapping photos all the way.

Here are some of my favourite !

Met up with Ally, Mich and "He who cannot be named" at City Square Mall. Stucked in jam for more than half an hour at the carpark entrance ! Had astons for dinner but we were too hungry to capture any shots.....

Fetched baby from work and headed down to The Cheesecake Cafe at Siglap.

Nice ambience but a little overwhelming .....

Each of us ordered different cake so we got to try majority of their flavours....

In my opinion.......

Peanut Butter Cheesecake: 6/10

Peach Jelly Cheesecake: 5/10

Chocolate Truffle: 5.5/10 (Don't know why there were raisins in it)

Tiramisu: 8/10

Orange-Chocolate Cheesecake: 8/10

White-Chocolate Cheesecake: 9/10

Lovely Dovey moment then a 3rd party stepped in the picture !!!

WARNING: Never be a 3rd party in Shan's relationship.....

I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN !

Kidding Michelle !!!! :)

Mad over Heels ♥ !!!!

2011-08-16T23:29:00.008+08:00

There is something that I go crazy about at different phase in life. When I was in Sec/JC, I simply can't resist dangling earrings and now I've got a 99holes earring holder hidden at a corner in my room rusting away.

Anyway now I go mad over heels !!!

Just to share what kind heels that catches my attention...

Black, Brown and Nude !!! -> My favourite colour tones this season ......

If you've noticed, I prefer peep toe heels/ shoes. Reason being I hate the feeling of a warm sticky feet and peep toe heels are more comfortable as they give your toes extra space for movement !

City Hunter

2011-08-15T18:38:00.008+08:00

City Hunter !!!!

- Korean Drama -

Being a full fledged drama addict, I can never go without watching an episode a day. I kinda ran out of drama that day and I chanced upon this korean drama based on the female lead photos.

This show has got a good plot with twists that are unexpected.

To me, "Drama that features good looking male and female leads can never go too wrong."

Featuring : Park Min Young
4 March 1986
164cm, 41kg

City Hunter is the first drama series I've seen her in modern setting. So sweet and pretty !!!

Other drama series I've watched with her in it includes:

Sungkyunkwan Scandal

Princess Ja Myung Go

Featuring: Lee Min Ho

22 Jun 1987

185cm, 69kg

Other dramas I've watched with him in it includes:

Boy over Flowers

Personal Taste

City Hunter ranks 2nd in my list of favourite Korean Drama, right after full house !

Remeber to watch the show !

Relationship, Marriage, BTO

2011-08-05T00:15:00.002+08:00

Spent one whole day shopping with my Bimgade "Bimbo - Brigade" aka The Intellgent Bimbs at City Square, JB. After shopping the top level, our legs were aching and feeling exhausted.

Oh Boy.... age is really catching up on us.

Our dinner wasn't splendid as compared to seafood dinner.

(We were too tired to even take a cab outside the mall to eat)
BUT I had a wonderful time just talking and discussing about our lives.

Topic: "What do you wanna achieve by the age of 30?"

- 2 attached, 2 in grey areas -

Well.....what else do you expect 4 ladies in their mid 20s to be talking about ?

Being in managerial position, building a family, owning a car and also being single for our whole lives if "THE ONE" doesn't come along by then.

Amidst our conversation, I realised something. ..........

Being in a relationship makes me feel vulnerable.

"When you have nothing, you are not afraid of losing. But when you have it, you are afraid of losing it."

Charm

2011-07-23T16:02:00.003+08:00

Met up with a friend whom I have not seen for a long time.....

Heard something that was quite upsetting. The bible teaches us to love our neighbours as ourselves and this is one of the basic teaching that Christians should know. However, 2 pastors and their spouses failed to practice this command even towards their own blood sister.

"Hate the sin and love the sinner"

I just feel that their actions put Christians to shame especially if they are pastors. I definately do not have anything against Christians and as much as I have not been a good Christian myself, what I've heard really disturbs me.

But then again, who am I to judge ?

Anyway, this friend said that I seem to be so comfortable and stagnant in life that I have lost my charm. I feel everyone has their own unique charm, be it making a fool out of yourself just to make someone smile or just being pretty.

Sadly, I've lost my charm over the years. Used to be more friendly and bubbly but I've started to doubt myself and lose confidence.

So I've been trying to dress up more often and stop being lazy to put on makeup !

I guess when you look good, you'll feel good ! :)

Gabriel and his new look !

New Hair Colour !

2011-07-21T14:44:00.007+08:00

Gotten quite bored of my black hair !!!

So I went Watsons and got this .............

Here is the look I want to achieve.

My personal hair stylist at Tampines.

His masterpiece !!!!

Took the leftover solution and started dyeing his own hair....

Ta-dah !!!! A little glow ......

Okay....maybe not so obvious in picture

New Dream, New Goal, New Direction

2011-02-24T00:23:00.003+08:00

The piling assignments within short timeline is suffocating me !!! There are many times when I just want to give up. I keep asking myself, "Why study and be penniless when you can work and earn money". So much so that insomina came to visit. Now my aim is to complete assignments one by one. Taking each step at a time and live the present.

Anyway, a sudden spur of moment made me visit, sgcarmart. It has only been 3 months since I got my driving license and the desire to get a car of my own is so strong !!! I will be aiming for Honda Fit/Stream used cars with a budget of $35,000. Hello, hope to travel with you in 2 years time :)

Getting to Know Myself Better II

2010-11-26T20:02:00.000+08:00

Are you too willing to change for a guy ?

Malleable Mate

You think that if you stayed glue to your guy 24/7 and bail on your friends, he won’t get away. “ Many women change into what they believe a man wants to keep him’ ‘ But when you start compromising for his affection, you alter the DNA of the union.’ He fell for you, the individual, in the 1st place,’ so when he suggests plans you don’t like, have the guts to say I’m not really into that. Lets do this instead. Any guy worth your time will appreciate your opinion.

What Kind of Female are You ?

Raised in the era of girl power, she is the ultimate modern female who believes women can accomplish everything guys can- and even surpass them.

Relationshipwise, she dates, falls in love and has a good time with guys. But ultimately, her contentment stems from the enriched life she is actively creating for herself. She will marry if she finds the right guy and would rather never be married than get married and later divorce.

Getting to Know Myself Better

2010-11-25T23:32:00.000+08:00

What do you look for in a Guy?

1. Your Typical Average Guy

He might not be all that athletic, might not be all that hot, and maybe not even funny, but he has a GREAT personality, and is always there for you. He loves you and thats all you want. He makes you feel special sometimes, and no matter what happens you can always count on him to be there.

2. Soul Mate Seeker

Sure, looks and goals pique your interest, but you value more important qualities.

“You choose men who respect, intrigue, and understand you,”. That’s why you rate a date on chemistry not what he shells out. And while you’re hardly high-maintenance, you’re no doormat either. You want your guy to put effort into apologizing. That alluring combo lets you have meaningful relationships.

Walking on Sunshine

2010-11-23T15:48:00.006+08:00

Whether I am walking alone ...

Or have someone to hold my hand as we walk ...

I want to be happy and I deserve to be happy.

Emotions Beyond Words

Emotion beyond words...

Because I am Hui Shan

2010-11-17T16:09:00.002+08:00

Because I am Hui Shan.

Nothing that I am, will make him feel that I am worth it.

Not 2 years ago, not today.

Always Remind Yourself What Drives You

2010-10-07T22:06:00.002+08:00

Just saw a friend's facebook status "Always remind yourself what drives you.'

Work - Was it the people whom you work with ? Attractive pay ? The things that you learn ? Self- actualisation ?

Studies - Freedom ? Gain knowledge ? Make more friends ? Better pay in the future ?

Relationship - Why did I fell for him or her in the 1st place ?

Some of my friends and myself are struggling to perserve on whatever they are doing right now. There are times where we feel like walking away, giving up and being unsure if this is the right path for us. Hope this post will help to motivate those friends who are doubtful of their path ! :D

Jovan

2010-09-20T17:16:00.003+08:00

Hello everyone ... This is Jovan ! Grace's nephew.

A young boy who loves to frown and acts like old man. Haha sooo cute !

Down to the last assignment due this friday and thats is start of my exam revision. Chiong ar !!!!

Money Woes

2010-09-13T23:40:00.002+08:00

Didn't really have money woes since young and now I am really starting to struggle. From having a stable income each month to not getting a single cent of income really is killing me. Mobile bills, internet bills etc seems to reappear again and again each time I just cleared the previous month. Loans may become bad debts but there is nothing I can do about it. And worse of all, I have no choice but to take my driving test in November before my final theory expires and I have to re-take again.

Its not like I didnt look out for part-time jobs but the strict demands of fulfilling at least 1 weekend 2 weekdays or 1 weekday and 2 weekends made it impossible to get any jobs except during the holidays.

Please do not criticise my way of spending because you do not have any idea how much I have been trying to minimise my expenses. And when I really do spend, I have my pirorities and reasons for it. This is just an avenue for me to let out my frustrations....

2010-07-23T13:42:00.002+08:00

Sorry that I can no longer be that 21 years old young girl with that cutting edge bob hair and neither do I have that pouty lips and sexy cute ass. Oh and I forgot to add, I have so much pigmentation and pimples on my face that someone had to ask my boyfriend to bring me for facial.

Most of all, I am not cute. But I think some of your cousins may have some cute girlfriends. Maybe I should start flirting with my cousin too. Who cares right ?

As long as I am not with that 23 years old slut and auntie who always acts like a nanny, trying to take control of everything.

Shout Out Loud

2010-07-22T20:58:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I just wanna shout out loud.

Outcasted

2010-07-22T00:54:00.004+08:00

You know how it feels to be outcasted by your group of friends ?

That is exactly what I am feeling right now.

New Face Regime !!!

2010-06-11T11:52:00.003+08:00

*Laniege*

My face is kinda sensitive so cannot anyhow try skincare products. So I have decided to stick with Laniege whose products are waterbased. Honestly I hope that by using it, I will have a face like this !

My all time favourite Korean actress from Full House !!

Here is my Laniege supplies from Korea, all thanks to JEANIE !!!

Look at the no. of free samples she brought back with her .... Girl I think you can make a business out of this !

My Temper ...

2010-06-09T15:15:00.001+08:00

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21

Of course you don’t lose your cool. But your very demeanour (manner) projects haughtiness (arrogance, pride), pride and grand disdain (disregard) for lesser mortals (human). Others are often found saying that anger sits on your nose and you are raring to give your piece mind to the first person that try to be funny with you. You are selective in the choice of your friends, and have a low tolerance for the superfluous (extra) types. Your tongue-lashing (attack) is generally in a soft hissing tone for when you scream, your voice tends to get shrill and loud and you do hate drawing attention to yourself! When upset, you are angrier with yourself for having shown weakness, for the last thing that Scorpio wants to show is being out of control.

Anyone wants to know their horoscope (temper) ?? Ask Me !!

School Enrolment

2010-06-08T15:41:00.002+08:00

It's Here !!!

I am officially being accepted into SIM taking RMIT Business Management. School starts 1st week of July and I am having mixed feelings about it.

Worried - Been out of school for 2 years and now I have to do projects and memorise stuff. No stable income too !

Excited - Means no more having to wake up at 8.30am every morning to rush to work despite sleeping late. More late nights !

Not sure how would I feel when I leave this office since I have been here for 2 years and starting to get familiar with the flow of work and the people here. Well, I'll survive somehow.....

Well Deserved Break....

2010-06-03T12:16:00.011+08:00

After all the slogging from my fashion show, the long weekend break was timely.....

It was Baby's cousin's ROM on Vesak Day and I hope to get up at 7am to prepare myself and leave for their place. Haven had to wake up in this kinda wee hours for a long time and I was struggling to keep myself awake throughout. Finally I managed to catch an hour of sleep after the whole ceremony....

Baby's sister and I decided that we should go for a double date and so we ended in a shopping spree ! Haven been shopping for hours non-stop and I was so dead-beat that I had to stop by at Starbucks to grab a drink. That's when i realised age is catching up on me!

- My Favourite May Photo -

Mabel and her Boyfriend

Mabel and I with a 5 years difference in age !!!

Our double date ended with an awesome movie. Lots of action, giggles and unexpected ending. It's a MUST watch !!! The actress, looks so much better in the movie than her modern dressing.

- Our 1st Night Cycling Experience -

We cycled from Pasir Ris - Tampines - Pasir Ris - Pasir Ris Park - Pasir Ris. Here is my monkey on the spider web !!

Totally enjoyed myself during the weekend, away from the airconditioned office, facing the computer, staring at clock for it to strike 6pm. Hopefully the coming weekend will be great too !!! :)

Long, Tiring Week....

2010-05-26T17:51:00.002+08:00

Its been long and tiring weeks for me in preparing for one event. Average knock off time was at 10pm and feeling dead beat once I reached home. All the hardwork for just a day of show and now that it has ended, I really want to have a good break and enjoy myself. Ended work early today at 4pm and thought I could go catch some movie and have a decent dinner before I go back to the site for teardown but it never happen......

"I'd listen to her,

Cause I know how it hurts,

When you lose the one you wanted,

Cause he's taking you for granted,

and everything you had got destroyed."

" I put myself first,

And make the rules as I go,

Cause I'd know she'll be faithful,

and waiting for me to come home."

O2 Angels 2007

2010-04-12T11:40:00.004+08:00

Monday Bluez .....

It felt as though the weekend never came. Perhaps it's due to the "Late" nights and wasting half day sleeping away.

Was talking to Xiao Mei (Lay) on Sunday and she showed me the video when we did the PC 2007 as O2 Angels.

This was like 3 years ago and see how much we've changed !!! I can't imagine who can be so bo liao as to make a video out of it, but really brings back fond memories. Now that we are of a certain age, doubt anyone will approach us again as a showgirl. Hahahahah... Enjoy the video ! :)

I Need You Now

2010-04-08T12:32:00.006+08:00

Lady Antebellum - Need You Now

Picture perfect memories

scattered all around the floor

Reaching for the phone

'cause I can't fight it anymore

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one,

I'm all alone and

I need you now

Said I wouldn't call

but I lost all control

and I need you now

And I don't know

how I can do without,

I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey

can't stop looking at the door

Wishing you'd come sweeping

in the way you did before

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one

I'm a little drunk and

I need you now

Said I wouldn't call but

I lost all control and

I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

Ooh... Guess I'd rather hurt

than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone and

I need you now

And I said I wouldn't call but

I'm a little drunk and

I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

Oh baby I need you now

A Minute of Silence

2010-03-31T23:32:00.004+08:00

Today marks the 5th year my mummy passed away.

How time flies... Within the 5 years, I went through so much without her being around me.

Despite the mismatching outfit, specs from centuries ago & pupils you cannot locate,

I flashed my best smile :D

Can't breathe

Vulnerable Moment

2010-03-21T01:23:00.003+08:00

I will never be able to comprehen the feeling of those wheel-bound patients until I personally experienced it today.

It started off when I woke up one morning and went to brush my teeth and I had difficulty bending down towards the basin. There was a sharp pull from my left butt to my left leg and thinking that it was some muscle problems, I dismissed the pain away for about 2 days since the pain only strikes in the morning.

Today, my arms shivered as I made it lift my body up from the chair and bed. Baby had to put my legs into the car for me after I slowly slid into the passenger seat.

I had never felt this useless before and trust me, I have a rather high tolerance level for pain as a girl.

The advantage of working for stupid managers - You outshine them
Disadvantage - You learn nothing ....

Advantage of working for smart managers - You learn a lot from them
Disadvantage - They outshine you and you'll never take credit for your background hardwork!

Fortunately or NOT, I belong to the 2nd category. Its bad enough that you have a smart manager that has direct communication with the bosses and now that I have a senior executive in between my manager and me, forget about pay raise or promotion ...... BUT, I am grateful that they treat me quite well and of course to help me out whenever I am sick or can't manage. Not that I have anything against them in person.

Sometimes you ask, Why work so hard ?!

Motivation

2010-02-02T15:14:00.004+08:00

It's not good !! I am not motivated to go to work at all. Each morning I drag my feet to the bus stop, arriving at workplace late and later.

I used to hate having nothing to do but now I wish everything could just stop. Working is no longer a need to satify my need to learn something rather it had become just a source of income. Not mentioning that the income isn't beefy enough for my big appetite.

There are times when your mind is spinning at turbo speed to generate ideas and thinking of ways to perfect things. Now I am just a living dead.

Gosh when will this agony end ?!

Sick

2010-01-26T15:07:00.002+08:00

SICK !!!

Its's been almost 2 weeks since the cough virus hit me. I even had GREEN eye shit coming out from my left eye for a day. Scary !!! But well, I managed to get 2 days MC (Thurs, Fri) so had a long weekend last week. I am recovering but having a headache now. *sighs*

I had a makeover by cutting my hair short, AGAIN. This time, not becase of a broken heart but because someone says I look like an obasan! Now I look younger and fresh but I am soooo lazy to maintain the boob. Plus, my hair grows super fast and roots are curly, I have to keep cutting and rebonding my hair. We'll see how long I can keep up with the high maintenance cost.

Wulala.... getting bonus at the end of the month. I heard its not much but well, who would mind an extra month of income to spend?

Internet bill, phone bill, credit card bills .............. SETTLED !

Photoshop, Camera <---- Here I come !!!!

Shirleen is PREGNANT !!!

2010-01-13T15:16:00.006+08:00

I deliver good news !!!! My "mama" is 3.5 months pregnant !!!

*This is not her baby*

She still doesn't know the gender of the baby but should be able to at her next ultrasound.

The unconditional love.

I wonder what is the feeling like being a mother.

How time flies .... It was just barely a year ago when I was one of the bridesmaid for her wedding, selecting out bridesmaid dresses, stayover at grace's house, getting up at breaking daylight to help out at the ceremonies and dinner.

It occured to me how much I have lost touch with the people around me and what I have been missing out. How much we have aged and from studying hard to pass exams into planning for marriage and starting a family.

Renewal Day Spa

2010-01-11T12:45:00.007+08:00

My ex-collegue who didn't like having people to touch her body received a massage voucher from her collegues and hence she gave them to me. Since I was going to spend the Sunday alone, I decided to pamper myself !!!

Renewal Day Spa

I stepped into the inspired setting of a cosy French Provencal countryside and was warmly greeted by Anna (consultant). She sat me down and ran through my medical conditions to ensure that I am fit for the massage. I was to choose my scrubs and essential oil from the following.

Body Scrub: Sea Salt, Sugar & Coconut

Aromatic Massage Oil: Serene, Sensual & .........

Anna handed me a set of key to my locker and this is what I found.

A bath robe, towel, slippers, hangers, a disposable shower cap and disposable panty.

(The disposable pantry are of good quailty that doesn't tear easily)

There is a quiet room filled with magazines meant for those who are waiting for the friends/significant other while they are getting their spa treatment too !

The Changing Room

After a 30mins scrub meant for exfoilation, I had to take a bath to wash off the salt. The body soap provided smells sooooooo good. Wanted to ask them for the brand.

My masseur, Lorna offered to switch on the heater in the room and I had Swedish massage for an hour.

I am in love with their tap!

Makeup corner which provides hair wax, body lotion etc.

The whole experience ended off by a cup of blackcurrent tea boiled fuji apple tea.

Body Scrub: $60.00 (30mins)

Aromatic Massage: $88.00 (1 hr)

This is my favourite part: They DO NOT hardsell their spa packages !

Overall

I love the service and facilities that Renewal provides. Not exactly a hardcore fan of swedish massage cause everytime i went for a Swedish massage, I ache more. Thai massage works better for me :)

Nevertheless, if you want to pamper yourself, its worth the visit.

Happy New Year !!!!

2010-01-04T16:26:00.001+08:00

*** Happy New Year ***

I am not those who gets super hyped up when the year comes to an end and receives the new year with open arms. It's just another day for me. Nonetheless, we all love Dec 2009 for half day work from our kind bosses and all the long weekends.

This is how I spent my New Year - Hanging out with a bunch of 20's. They never feel to make me feel young but at the same time made me realise that I am old.

A brand new year for brand new resolutions !!!

- According to priority -

1. Driving License (Had been put on hold for a year now)

2. Apply for University Course (Must be something I am in love with)

3. Regliously put on mask 3 times a week

4. Drown at least 2 litres of water into my system per day

5. Sleep before 12am every night

JINXED Night !!!

2010-01-04T13:01:00.001+08:00

30 Dec 09, Wednesday

Here is how I kick start my crazy-not night.

Baby suddenly called and said: "Let's go club at Zouk tonight !!"

Shan: "Whoa, that's rare. I can't wait !!!"

Plan: Work - Home - Club Entry Chop - Dinner - Movie - Club

Work ended and I went home to bathe, apply fresh makeup and put on new clothes whilst he got 3hrs worth of afternoon nap/power sleep.

Baby picked me up from home and we tried to be in time for Citibank Privilege entry. From afar, we could see ladies in their tightest and shortest outfit and gentlemen in their coolest vest and styled hair (so to speak) jaywalking. I thought: "Not bad, Zouk isn't looking like a lonely, isolated, aged club."

When we alighted, I went: " Wa, Wah, Wahhhhhhhhhh !!!"

Zouk's entrance looked like it has tons and tons of ants moving in snail pace !!! Phuture's queue is lined up to the river. Desperate to make our plan work, we joined the queue for an hour and I finally gave up. No point having to queue for hours, paying extra for entry and be in Phuture dancing like this.....

Skipping club in our plan, we cabbed to cathay to catch Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.

The midnight movie tickets were all sold out. Initally we wanted to pick another show but the angry growl from our stomach made us decide to appease it before it attacks us.

Hainanese Chicken Rice @ Selegie ???

No, it's just Mac at peace centre and we were the last customers. Wise humble choice for dinner cause Selegie Chicken Rice store is close for the day.

What a jinxed night !!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Mummy & Daddy !!!

2009-12-30T14:37:00.004+08:00

Its 30 December 2009

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY & DADDY !

Coincidentally, my biological parents' birthday falls on the same day. If my mummy is still around, she would be 46 and my daddy turns 51 today.

I wanted to put a family portrait but I realised I have none. Well, it's no big deal, not from the time I start to remember things.

I used to complain to mummy that he only brings me for a meal at KFC for my birthday celebration, nothing to boast about but now it's memorable moment for me. My daddy became real sweet ever since my mummy left. He drops me voice memos with him singing "Happy Birthday".

As for mummy, we used to have celebration at home with party banners, cans of soft drinks and birthday cake. She never fail to spend hours in her room to find the perfect outfit for phototaking and irritates me into doing it too. Her smile and pose for the "Birthday Girl" shoot imprint in my heart forever.

I had always wanted to do something which I didn't muster the courage.

Its to buy a cake and sing happy birthday to my mummy. I will do it this year.

Scandal

2009-12-29T15:47:00.004+08:00

Gosh, it's damn difficult to concentrate on my work when I am in holiday mood !!! Plus, the 1001 questions running through my head makes it worse.

Shan !!! Snap out of it !!!

Anyway, I wanna announce that I am offically scandalous.

His name is Goh Sze Yuan. Aged 20. Currently in Tekong, Driver.

P.S: Santa, you suck !!!

Are you in the festive mood ?

2009-12-21T15:27:00.006+08:00

Are you in the festive season mood yet ?!

NOT ME! I barely started with my christmas shopping and there are still so many household chores for me to complete. I want to doll up my room for christmas too! This is why I should clear my leave to do some human packing~

Blink blink - Its another year. Still remember I spent Christmas morning at church then have lunch with church friends then met up my poly clique for prawning session at night. So much happened in a year.

Christmas plans ain't final yet but the actual day will be dedicated to my family. Its been long since I did that.

There is my wishlist:
1. Camera
2. Adobe Photoshop software

Santa, you will make me happy right ?

I promise to be good next year ~

Can I have another wish ? I want to spend my next Christmas overseas next year.

Wonderful Tonight

2009-11-26T12:50:00.004+08:00

Back ! After a month. Everything in my blog doesn't seem to be working !

Anyway introducing a new old song. Sounds like an oxymoron ? Isn't it nice, if our partner really appreciates and recognises us for all the effort we put in to present ourselves and even to receive praise from them. I wonder when is the last time.... hmmmmm

Wonderful Tonight

Orinigal Singer: Eric Clapton

Resang by : Fang Da Dong

It's late in the evening

She's wondering what clothes to wear

She puts on her makeup

And brushes her long blonde hair

And then she asks me

Do I look alright

And I say yes, Darling you look wonderful tonight

We go to a party

And everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady

That's walking around with me

And then she asks me

Do you feel alright

And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful

Because I see the love light in your eyes

And the wonder of it all

Is just that you don't realise

How much I love you

It's time to go home now

And I've got an aching head

So I give her the car keys

She helps me to bed

And then I tell her

As I turn out the light

I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight

Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

Baby, I feel wonderful tonight :)

Johnnie Walker & The Ugly Truth

2009-09-30T16:19:00.010+08:00

HELLO everyone !!! I am back from the Johnnie Walker F1 craze.

Guess who I get to meet in person ????

- HEIKKI KOVALAINEN -

No idea who he is ? He is an F1 racer representing McLaren who happens to be Lewis Hamiliton's company too! Pretty short for a guy but rather charming and has a sense of humour.

ISN"T MY BABY ADORABLE ???!!!!!!

Parcel for Teo Hui Shan......... Any idea what's inside??

YEAH ! I won a pair of movie tickets to watch "The Ugly Truth", tank top and boxer because I took part in "The Ugly Truth Contest". The challenge was to submit a phrase that has got to do with the ugly truth about male and female.

Eg: Females love with their head and guys love with their dick.

So what did I submit ???

I DUN REMEMBER AT ALL ! :)

Never in my 22 years of life have I won prizes from lucky draws and contests. (Other than those sure win draws) Though the prizes ain't anything glamourous or expensive, I am SUPER happy :)

OH, did I mention there are 5 female and 5 male winners ?

Unfortunately, I had already watched The Ugly Turth with my now, BOTAK Boy, hence I am still not sure what to do with the tickets.

Sell it ? - Then I get extra cash to buy 1 Top (Any interested parties?)

Give it away ?

The show is really funny and quite touching !!! Females are really sometimes a control freak. OR should I say we think too much and hence we try to make things work the way we want?

BUT guys, unless you want to declare yourself gay, you really do NEED us in your life :D

Sway by Bic Runga

Don't stray

Don't ever go away

I should be much to smart for this

You know it gets the better of me

Sometimes

When you and I collide

I fall into an ocean of you

Pull me out in time

Don't let me drown

Let me down

I say its all because of you

And here I go

Losing my control

I'm practicing your name

So I can say it to your face

It doesn't seem right

To look you in the eye

And let all the things you mean to me

Come tumbling out my mouth

Indeed its time

Tell you whyI say its infinately true

Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you

And there's no cure

And no way to be sure

Why everythings turned inside out

Instilling so much doubt

It makes me so tiredI feel so uninspired

My head is battling with my heart

My logic has been torn apart

And now

It all turns sour

Come sweeten every afternoon

Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you

Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you

Its all because of you

Now

It all turns sour

Come sweeten every afternoon

Its time

Tell you why

I say its infinately true

Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you

Say you'll stay

Don't come and go

Like you do

Sway my way

Yeah I need to know

All about you

Its all because of you

OVERRATED !

Girls, have you ever imagined yourself to be the one kneeling on the streets and proposing to your Husband Material type boyfriend ?

From the 1st time I asked myself this question, the answer have always been a "NO". Being proposed to is a memory for a lifetime in which woman is entitled to for the longest time in history. Call it traditional thinking.

PLUS I just got to sure the guy really wants me for him to be on his knees.

PUBLIC ? - Preferably not. Guys, you don't want the girl to nod her head out of pressure and only to find out she is not ready to commit. And guys, please test the girl's attitude towards starting a life-bound relationship with you.

Counting down, 2 more days before Baby is enlisted. Hours felt like minutes for the amount of time spent with him . Wondering how am I going to survive the days without him online to chat with me, without my dinner dates and without a Good Night before I sleep.

I am such a loser !

I Complain !!!!

2009-09-01T12:35:00.003+08:00

Its been years that alarm clock does not work for me. Recently it has gotten worse when I can't even hear the morning call Baby's been faithfully doing for the past year. Gosh, am I unconscious or what?!

A very clean and comfortable cab picked me up for work but the driver just annoys me.

Uncle : "I cannot drop you at the main road, need to find small road."

Me: "But all along I have been boarding and alighting from that spot for past year."

Uncle: "No, cannot."

I tried to be understanding given my basic knowledge of basic driving theory. He stopped the car and meter some distance away.

Me: "Uncle, can you please drive further down?"

He RESTART the meter !!! Its just 15 steps away and takes less than 5 seconds to shift the car forward.

Things that happened last weekend

2009-08-31T15:59:00.010+08:00

Friday

Day at office passed by pretty slowly but the "Weekend is here" just make the waiting bearable. There is this mass pigeon murder mission going on outside my office. I heard my collegues saying the pigeons were fed posion and they suddenly got high, crazy and flew all over the place. A pigeon was sitting on the ledge of the corridor outside my office for more than 2hrs. They were very still and looked stunned.

Anyway, there goes my long awaited date being postponed due to something more pressing. Nonetheless, Baby and I had a slow dinner of fried chicken, then headed back to catch a little "Peter Pan" on MioTv and turned in early for our adventure tomorrow.

Saturday

Woke up at 6.15am to prepare for a morning trip to Puala Ubin with Baby's dad, sis and sis's friend. Quick breakfast at Changi Village and speedy boat ride across the waters. Thought I have been there before but everywhere seems strangely unfamiliar. Here are some snapshoots here and there.

Mudskipper

Attap Chye

Hmmm duh, Crab.

Sunday

Ended up at Baby's grandparent's house or rather Room for the whole day. Sneaked out to Hougang Mall for some breather with his sis and indulged in fattening Hot Fudge Sundae and Seaweed Shaker Fries. Guess what I watched ? I can't believe I managed to finish this 3hrs long movie. Well, I dozed off at some parts but Baby refuse to let me miss the show. Finally my eyelid couldn't take it and I fell asleep. Basically, its a day of bed, tv and food.

Don't you think they look alike ? But obviously one looks fatter than the other and the one in Lord of the Rings look more charming.

More about Work ....

2009-08-27T16:14:00.006+08:00

Clarifications to my Previous Post
Do I hate her ? - No. I think she is nice as a person and to be with but too aggressive for my liking in terms of working partner.

Castings
Life is pretty for me, literally. In terms of sourcing, selecting, interviewing models for the whole week. Its for an F1 week happening in Sept.

My personal favourite: Sally Brooks

Why I love her ? - She has the assassin look. I Love !

Personality Test
The Blue Brain

Because of their emotional base, blue brained people process and communicate in feelings. This provides an extra-sensitive ability to interact with and read other people. They are versatile and flexible, and are capable of playing many roles. This characteristic allows them to be organized as long as they don’t have too many tasks or stimuli at the time. They are usually active in play and fun. Their sensitivity to the feelings of others also gives them the ability to be empathetic, but sometimes creates difficulty in differentiating their own feelings from those of others. Relationships and people are usually central in their life, and when they learn, they must have a sense of personal connection with the instructor. They usually will take the blame (look at where they may have gone wrong) when something they are involved in goes amiss. Blue brained people communicate at a deeper level with others because of their verbal expressiveness and intuition. They may try to do everything themselves to be more considerate to others.

"What have you been doing the whole morning?"

2009-08-25T13:25:00.003+08:00

I had someone who just came to me asking me: "What have you been doing the whole morning?"

Unsure whether it is due to my sensitivity or easily triggered mood today, I was offended by that question. IF ! Someone directly above me is the one asking this question, I might not have reacted in the same manner. Her presence seems to threaten my rice bowl the moment she stepped in, projects being transffered to her, putting herself incharge of everything and crossing the line.

Perhaps its her to be aggressive and critical in what she does but the truth is, she is better in me in academic and she is a people person (?).

Can my friends tell me whether am I just in a bad mood or what she asked really triggers people's emotions ?

Choices, Decisions and Consequences

2009-08-20T13:16:00.002+08:00

We decide what time to wake up, what to wear, to put on makeup or not. Sometimes, there are obvious consequences in front of us to decide what choice to make.

Are you stuck at the crossroads? Are you afraid of making the wrong decisions ? Are you regretting your choice ? I for one, can't even decide what to wear in the morning. I am not sure where my decision will lead me to.Rule of opportunity cost.

When Fathers Babysit Their Child Together

Simplicity of a child

When you were young, did you put on your mum's killer heels and tried to walk in it?

When you were young, did you pick up your grandma's bold red lipstick and draw it on yourself ?

Perhaps, its the effect complications of adulthood.

Parable of the Prodigal Son

2009-08-10T02:10:00.003+08:00

Here is a little story.

There was a man with two sons. The younger one said to his father: "Father, give me my share of the estate." So the Father divided his property between them.

Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of the country who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating but no one gave him anything.

He came to his senses and went back to his father to beg for forgiveness regardless whether or not his father will be willing to accept him as his son. Instead of punishing of this son, he threw a feast to welcome him home and gave his best robes and food in celebration.

Just in case you guys didn't know, this story is taken from the Bible in the Book of Luke 15:11. Some of you may wonder, why the sudden "holiness" ? Tonight, I saw a mother's agony.

Spare the rod and spoil the child. I have always believed in this statement although I am still struggling for more freedom at this age. Blood is thicker than water. How many friends walked in and out of your life ? How many boyfriends/girlfriends broke your heart by abandoning you for something else ? Will they be there for you 24/7 ?

Will my mum do the same thing? I thought in envy. When I am down, I blamed my mum for leaving me, wishing she can be there for me whenever I needed her.

It suddenly occurred to me just an hour ago, what kind of agony she was going through for that 3 years, knowing that she cannot be there for me anymore. She battled very hard but couldn't win over the fate of life.

Now I want to tell her every little bit of details in my life and having the chance to spend more time with her. But its too late. No chance.

In case you are thinking, why is she wallowing in self pity again ? No, I am not sharing this to earn sentences like "Girl, be strong, we're here for you." nor "Girl, we understand how you feel." Cause no, you'll never be able to fully comprehend the pain. And after recently after my friend's mum death in an accident, then I was thankful at least my mum was living on borrowed time.

I want people around me to understand, how precious life is. Have you ever thought, what will happen if your mum suddenly disappears forever? What if you'll never get to feel her warmth again? All the what ifs........

Life don't give much chances to "What Ifs", so don't regret when its too late."

Giraffe & Hangover

2009-07-31T14:43:00.011+08:00

Yahoo !!!!~~ Just the thought of Friday makes me bim.

Sometimes, it feels good to do thing unplanned and yesterday was one of those days. Inital plan was to catch Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp. Was cracking our brains for dinner options and we ended up at Giraffe @ Istana Park. Some mouth watering pictures served first....

Tenderloin with Herb Butter

Over baked Salmon Fillet with Cream Sauce

Molten Lava Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream

The food there are really good. The salmon doesn't have the fishy taste and the side dishes - Mashed Potato and Cucumbers are very well marinated and tasty. I do not have strong jaws hence medium rare beef is not my favourite. Luckily the part where Baby cut for me to try is medium well, one word: YUMMY !

The ambience is good too. No noisy young adults, daylight handing its position over to moonlight and if you are lucky enough, you get to see Ministers making an exit from Istana. Jealous for neglecting him over Melody
Went to PS arcade for some Car Racing session and Basketball Challenge. Completed 5 Sections but our accuracy not up to standard yet.
Time to go home? Nope, not when we have not satisfy our craving for watching a movie.

Humour: 10/10

Romance: 3/10

Content: 7/10

I am so glad that I decided to watched Hangover instead of public enemies after watching the trailer. Seriously if you are damn pissed off at work or just angry over minor problems, I am sure this show will let you forget the unpleasant moments. Its definately a no brainer show and well, you really got to be more than a little "dirty minded" in order to understand whats going on. With a group of friends like mine, there is no doubt I understand the content totally.

The person sitting close next to me was laughing so heartily. Baby must have been really tickled.

If "Forgetting Sarah Marshal" can make you laugh your pants off, I am sure this can too !

*I've been constantly reminding myself, "Think happy, Do happy thing, Be Happy". Life goes on. :)

Question

2009-07-29T17:57:00.001+08:00

I ask: "Hui Shan, what is wrong with you that they are leaving you one by one. Have they given up on you or have you given up on them?"

Human Beings

2009-07-29T10:02:00.003+08:00

Human beings are such ironic, funny creatures.

* How we forget someone's positive side of them and pin point their negative side.
* How we can forgive one person for betrayal but not someone with bad temper.
* How we jump into conclusion without giving the other party a chance to explain themselves nor finding out the whole truth.
* How we are bias towards friends/lover no matter whether they are right or wrong.
* How we turn a deaf ear to whatever advice or constructive negative remarks that people make about us only to nod in agreement few years down the road.
* How ungrateful we are and take things for granted.
* How we get angry with ourselves though we know its not our fault.
* How someone we know appears to be a guardian angel but actually a disguised devil.
* How someone we know for years become a stranger the next day.

By looking at things in different angles makes us think differently. Perhaps.

Long Dready Week

2009-07-27T17:00:00.002+08:00

Last week whizzed past like wind with my 2 days work week. Imagine having to resume to the normal 5 days work week. Monday was a rest day and when I returned to work on Tuesday, I ran to the toilet 10 over times, my a*****e was burning and lost about 1kg *grins*. Down with food poisoning then infection and was given 2 days mc. Wahahaha shiokness :)

Discover Magic with HTC Magic

2009-07-21T09:56:00.018+08:00

Remember the days without technology ?

The caveman by nature were angry people. They often fought against each other as they had no means of communications to resolve their problems. Determined to make life better for everyone, Nathan B. Stubblefield, well known for his creativity and intelligence, invented "cave radio" phone after countless setbacks.

My 1st phone ever ... Nokia 8210.

My mum gave this to me when I was in Secondary 1. No doubt it was a slimest and lightest phone in the world and I can change the colours of the cover according to my mood. However, the external look is exciting but just imagine the black and white words. I cannot capture the moment of life without a camera phone, there was no radio function in the phone to keep me entertained while travelling to school and needless to say, there was no games function. Life was easy, simple and straightforward.

Simply put, communication is limited to 2 parties via phone call and text message.

BUT ! I was contented, thinking I had the best phone in the world.

Until 9 yrs down the road and I saw this...HTC Magic !!!

A Android-powered phone with 3.2-inch touch-sensitive screen with HVGA (320 X 480 pixel) resolution. - No more boring black and white and the wide screen that allows you to bling it up.

++ HIGHLIGHTS ++

1. Put a face to the name and number

2. High-speed 3.5G network connection and Wi-Fi - want to check the movie slot anywhere, anytime or can't wait visit facebook to see the pictures your friend just uploaded ?

3. My favourite function - Barcode Scanner

(I am a typical Singaporean who checks the price before anything else, I can HTC Magic and scan the barcode of the product and I get all the information required)

Live life to the fullest with HTC Magic.

Prata Head

2009-07-13T12:40:00.007+08:00

Finally some well deserved weekend after working for 2 consecutive weeks. Phew~

Over the weekend, I swam, changed my hairstyle (or rather revert back to old hairstyle) etc. Though some BIG plans was being cancelled due to some reasons, it didn't affect my mood at all. I guess I just need a break no matter how small it is.

Back to my hair. Yes, I reborn my hair again because I felt so silly to face myself in the mirror every morning. I had to iron my hair straight each day not knowing how much damage I've done to my hair so I gave up and damage it all at once. Anyway I know my hair is super duper flat and straight now but I don't have a choice cause the curl at my roots are just too strong.

He calls it "Prata Head" but I think he likes my short straight bang-look-alike fringe. :)

We bought her a new mint rope toy. She smiled and said THANK YOU :)

I dreamt of reconcilliation with my old dear friend and woke up smiling only to realise its a dream. I'm helpless, tell me what to do.

A close friend's mum just passed away. It brought me back .

Drama Queen is BACK !

2009-07-10T10:37:00.009+08:00

Girls ...... Contain your saliva please. Anyway I like "Hua Zhe Lei" more than "Dao Ming Shi" in the korean series.

+Shining Inheritance+

Not as mouth watering? But I think the content of the show is much better than "Boys Before Flowers". Its a combination of...

AND

Even after so many years of being a drama queen, Full House remains 1st in my favourite list :)

Anyone will know that He loves her so much just by looking at the way he wraps his
arms around her.

OK I KNOW, THEY ARE ACTORS.

Transformers

2009-07-08T12:03:00.003+08:00

Lets forget about the emo elmo post previously....I have been trying to upload images but failed for the past few days. Here is another movie review !

There is no need for introduction to the movie. In summary, Megan Fox is HOT and the transformers are COOL ! @o@ Lots of humour factor in it, few tear drops here and there.

I was reading Amy's blog and I self-reflected. I am, by nature an escapist. I ain't someone who can go against strong current myself with a buoyant. I mind what people say behind my back and how people think of me. I got to learn, I make my own decisions, this is my life.

Lonely, Empty & Rejected

2009-07-02T10:57:00.003+08:00

I tried to tell myself. Its just PMS.

Inner Beauty

2009-07-01T18:02:00.006+08:00

Okay, I know I know. My blog entries are getting less frequent again...

Anyway just like to share with you all this blog (http://stickgal.blogspot.com/) which I stumbled into. Really creative and interesting but unfortunately, she stopped blogging. I guess picture speaks a thousand words . Perhaps, a picture potrays an emotion that cannot be expressed in words.

I skimped through the blog and saw something I like. "Inner Beauty"

Have you ever felt inferior when compared with your few closest friend ?
Do you dare to burp or fart in front of your other half?
Are you afraid that the people around can't accept who you are?

Some sink into the pithole and never surface. Some tries to belittle others to make themselves better. Some are too arrogant to find any faults in themselves. Others change so much that they lose themselves. Or are you one that have faith yourself?

Which category do you belong to?

One Eye Jack

2009-06-26T15:09:00.002+08:00

Introducing........ CoCo aka Coke (in Chinese), also known as One Eye Jack :)

She is my baby's most precious thing in the world other than.. ME! If you happen to see her, please don't try to approach her and touch her. The last thing you want is a missing finger. Doesn't it look like a human sitting position?

Can you spot CoCo and wondering why was she hiding there ? Cause she wanted to be a little theif and steal the beef jerky that was placed behind my back. What a cutie !

Bimbo Session

2009-06-24T13:11:00.012+08:00

Yeah I would like to introduce the lastest additions to my bag.

Bobbi Brown Long Lasting Gel Eyeliner - FOC "Someone gave it to Aunt and she doesn't use eyeliner." Sooo you will need a Eyeliner Brush! I got myself Cyber Colours Brush from Sasa at $6.90.

Gift by Baby ... :)

Do you guys remember the new bag I bought not so long ago ? From this ....

TO THIS !!!

Can you tell how much I love the bag till it is CHUI-ED ?! :(

I Love You, Man

2009-06-23T16:30:00.003+08:00

Sunday, 21June09

Was having a killer headache which made my body ache from roots of my hair to my longest toe nail. ARGH! I was about to take an afternoon nap to kill off the pain then Pew called to ask me out. Took a bath and felt better so I headed out. Caught this show "I Love You, Man". Seriously, from the way that girl laugh beside me (I think it made many head turn towards us), the show must have been "drop teeth" hilarious. But I was in a super awkard position, trying to adjust myself to make my headache less disturbing. But gradually the pain wasn't so unbearable.

The show is about a couple getting married and the bridegroom doesn't have a bestman when the bride has tons of bridesmaid. Being self-concious and more than a little pressure from the bridesmaids, he went to a great measures to get himself a best man. Okay I think I will not spoil the movie for you guys.

Anyway, here is my few thoughts from the Movie:
1. Have you ever scroll down your phonebook looking for a friend to talk to but there is no one?
2. Are you married now ? If you are, have you ever thought why you got married to the person you are with now? I guess it applies to those who are attached as well.
3. Sometimes, it may seem like your close friends are messing up/wrecking your life but in true fact you wun really know till something good happens. And when it does, will you remember its your close who helped you turn something wrong to right ?

Don't let your past hinder your future

2009-06-18T14:52:00.006+08:00

Finally went to catch a movie after postponing it for 2 weeks plus. Rating: 10/10 for humour, 9/10 for storyline and 9/10 for romance. Strongly recommended !

Although Baby are seen blissful together everytime but definately we have our own bad periods. Don't let your past ruin your future!

Awesome weekend

2009-06-15T10:30:00.004+08:00

The long awaited weekend....

Friday, 12 June 2009

Went to Chervon's, which is also known as "Army's Club" with Auntie Helen, Uncle Ronald, Denise and Love. First we headed to a Chinese restaurant for a ala carte buffet which we had over 13 courses of food. Then we visited the jackpot room. Being a non-gambler, the 3 younger ones went for bowling. Haha we are like 3 little kids following uncle around, then he drop us off at one station before picking us up again. The lanes are sooo old school. Remember Orchid Bowl at Marina Bay ? Its exactly the same. I am the winner for bowling !!!! No prize... Then stepped into the KTV area. No private rooms so we made do with the public area. Seriously, we felt like stabbing some uncles when they really tried TOO hard to make themselves sound emotional. Left at 1am and slept at 3am. *Tired*

Saturday, 13 June 2009

Woke up at 10am to catch Night at the Museum 2 with auntie and cousin. The show is just so-so. Humour 6/10, Romance 4/10, Storyline 4/10. Grandparents later met up with us then had lunch at Sakae Sushi. Its been a long time since i had Sakae and guess what, the colour plate are now $2.29/plate when it was $1.99/plate when I last ate. Killer price! Then Baby came to fetch me so all of us went walking around Tiong Bahru Plaza. At 4pm, had to make a move for Amy's 22nd Birthday celebration.

Remember my previous post? PJ FLASHMOB! Jan went shopping with her for her PJ present then after we met up, we rushed like mad to hereen. It was fun, but not that fun. You got it ? Then the clique wanted to have dinner at MadJack but its full house so settled at Central, Hongkong Restaurant. Gathered at Clarke Quay's bridge, played indian poker and silent heart attack with the Singapore Slinger Lay brought. Lastly, to qool bar at boat quay. Got this Lao Tigo who mentally molested all of us namely adel, amy and I. Yucks ! Baby's face is red with anger and alcohol. Haha... Then received a warning sms from home so chaoz... More pictures in next post!

Sunday, 14 June 2009
Wanted to kidnap Coco to accompany us for a haircut and then dinner with Baby's dad at night. Then in the end dinner appointment cancelled, wanted to have dinner at foo's house with Auntie Cheng but then in the end we cancelled it too cause Baby's mum wants to play mahjong after dinner! Brought Coco for a walk while Baby and I sort our issues out. Then stay in whole day. Simple but a not bad Sunday.

Talking and Thinking

2009-04-17T02:28:00.002+08:00

Tonight, there was a lot of talking and thinking.

After a year and 2 months, I realised "letting go" is not just referring to the person. It includes the hurt and maybe even memories.

Does a true friend ain't afraid of hurting you or afraid of hurting you ?

Tears Roll By

2009-03-16T10:39:00.002+08:00

Finally after weeks of bottled up frustration, confusion and thinking, I broke down. There is no particular reason for the tears. Not realising it, I dread stepping into office in the morning and yearn for the day to end. Where did all the passion and enthusiasm went ? Do I not love what I am doing anymore or am I just need a break ? Was it because I am not ready for working life and half my heart is for studying ? Or am I just scared. That he is going for his army, I will even lose the yearning for the day to end ?

Since when I become so weak. How did I become this state.

Funny Article

2009-03-13T12:33:00.002+08:00

Haha came across this article titled "For sale: nagging wife, very high maintenance".

I think its damn funny. Check out how the husband describe her "Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some rust".
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20090313/tts-britain-marriage-offbeat-cac1e9b.html

Actually come to think of it, its quite scary. Can you imagine, they are only married for a year and then the husband finds her a nuisance. Dating is all fantasy, sweet talk, loving kisses and starry eyes. Many people only came to learn that they have made a mistake after getting married. Okay you can always divource after that but how often can you get married and then divourced?

One very important thing for woman is to marry the right man.

P.S I am not getting married soon although I really don't feel like working and live off a guy but haix it won't happen anytime soon lar.

Relationship

2009-03-10T16:20:00.003+08:00

I am glad I did not rush into any relationship until I know that a guy is really good to me. However sweet or good times we share, there are bound of disagreements and arguments. So that someone, don't envy me. You said that I was different from you because I was the one being loved and not the one loving. I beg to differ. In a relationship/courtship, its always 2 sided. Of course the relationship will not grow if I just gave him a cold shoulder and taking for granted.

Anyway, I am no expert in relationships but guys, you won't regret reading this. As a girl, I have 10 skills in apology that works for girls.

Skill 1: Apologising as a 3rd party.

Skill 2: Acting cute while apologising. (If you are not naturally cute, please know your limits, don't disgust her.
Skill 3: Handmade items. (eg: making apology card, personally prepare her favourite food, poem)
Skill 4: Embrassing yourself but not embrassing her. (Eg: Apologising to her by displaying your message in public. Okay, I learn this from a friend of mine)
Skill 5: Do not apologise immediately! You have to know what your mistakes are and admitting that its your fault before you apology.
Skill 6: Do not apologise for the sake of apologising. Girls HATE it. If you think you are not totally at fault or not even a single bit, talk to her about it. (If it doesn't work, face the wall and cry at home. hahaha)
Skill 7: DO NOT offend her best friend. You never know when her friend can make or break your relationship.
Skill 8: Until she laughs at the apology with blissfulness in her eyes, the issue is NOT over.
Skill 9: If the problem is resolved, it is resolved. Do not dig up unhappiness by using it against her in the future. (It is not an eye for an eye time.)
Skill 10: Summary - Expressing Regret, Accepting Responsibility, Making Restitution, Genuinely Repenting & Requesting Forgiveness.

I hope it helps. Remember to thank me when its successful ! wahahahaha

2009-02-27T16:15:00.006+08:00

Its blogging time ! Okay I know I am supposed to be working at this time. Unfortunately/ fortunately, I dun things to do. Or in fact I can leave the minimal work till Monday to kill my Monday blues.

Recently been addicted to this

I even packed my food to the office just to read it today. Its not like I get addicted to every book.

Anyway I had an event yesterday and ended at 8pm. Poor boy got to wait for me outside for an hour feeding mosquito. Then together we had XINFU dinner at Tiong Bahru Park.

Its Party Time !!!!!!!!!

Weekend

2009-02-24T10:01:00.004+08:00

What a weekend for me ! Slow moving ~

Saturday
Woke up at 1+pm then was stuck at home due to the heavy rain. Then I met up with small boy at around 4pm at Tampines Mall. Walked around aimlessly and I bought a DVD "Hilter, rise to evil" which we watched at Jasmine place. Well, I think its an okay show but it last for 3hrs plus.

Sunday
Woke up at 9am !!! Can you believe it ! Was supposed to go for blood donation, but my persistent cough dun allow me to. Boo BOo... Then change of plans, instead of getting his wet suit, we hit town for movies which we didnt do in the longest time. Okay, he managed to persuade me to watch Underworld. The lead actress is HOT ! hahah
Will catch my "He's just not into you" soon.

Shopping Shopping, lots of shopping. -HAPPY-

But poor small boy and I spent $200 all together on a Sunday. BUT we are happy ! hahahah Got to eat hawker food for the rest of the week. Then met up with SKK and lay, bought some drinks and sat by the river. With the breeze on our face and cold drink in our hands.

Then came Monday, Snap to reality. Boooooooo

Work and Valentine's

2009-02-20T10:19:00.003+08:00

IT'S OVER ! My event Reception at Istana for 2008 President's Design Award just ended yesteday. Hundred of hours preparing for that 2hours event, I mean seriously. Anyway 2 helpers fly my kite. Thats why I say, I hate to deal with part-timers. They are not something within your control.

Anyway I am feeling so so so tired right now. Yesterday I was frustrated and irritated. Seriously I dun really mind working lunch but I refuse to have working dinner. I cannot stand the feeling of working and eating at the same time anymore. I cant breathe ! Hence, I rather finish my work and then eat outside.

Anyway update for Valentine's Day ! Mine was spent at Sentosa Beach. Picnic in the tent, cheerleader praymid stand in the waters and sleeping in the tent. Time seems to slow down for me. Felt so light hearted. Aimed to get my airbrush tattoo done but well, I can forgo that for another couple minutes of sleep. Next stop, Brozeit German Bar and Restaurant for a seafood cold platter for two. Yummy and economic.

Met up with my crazy poly clique at 11pm+. Those crazy people bought a dozen cans of beer, sat at a corner and start drinking while playing cards. All went high, red and high tide. Oh yeah we saw an indian man puking in the most natuaral way haha. As he walks, he just open his mouth to let his puke fall. SICK !

Then small boy, lay and sk decided to hit my house for a session of dry swimming. I won 90cents ! They opened my bottle of vodka and left it untouched. They went for breakfast at my market downstairs when I went to meet my prince charming in my castle. *kidding*

Busy as a Bee

2009-02-10T14:14:00.002+08:00

The past few working days had been crazy for me. 12 hours straight in the office, lunch and dinner in the office, eyes glued to the laptop. My poor eyes!~ Looking more and more like a panda.

I suddenly have an urge to do something. I want to be a facial care consultant. I want to attend professional skin care classes and understand more about facial products. Any sponsors ? Okay although my skin is like totally NOT crystal clear but I think for a person to have a passion on should go and pursue it.

I think I will do that when I am studying full time.

Back to work ... Till then.

CNY Cont'

2009-02-02T14:07:00.001+08:00

Continuing from the previous post....

Thursday is my favourite day among the week. No rush,no time limit, no work, no boundaries. Nua eat watch show.... OTOT !!! I like :) And of course with a good company.

Friday went to work early in the morning, had yummy long beach seafood for lunch. BUT I puked everything out after a glass of red wine. Went back to work sleepy, headache feeling BAD ~~ Luckily at the end of working hours, I was feeling so much better. Kong Ba Bao came to fetch me in his rented Mazda 3. I like Mazda !!! Did a lot of errand and finally arrived at Joel's Chalet.

Not to mention the birthday puke like mad likewise for his girlfriend. Their room stink like garbage. Anyway didnt sleep well in the chalet cause of the rumored spirits loittering around. Yucks!

Happy Chinese New Year !!!

2009-02-02T12:43:00.004+08:00

Yahoo ! Wah what a long long holiday ! But this holiday don't seem relaxing at all...

Well recession sure does affect our ang bao value. Oppx did I also mention age ? It's like you are 21 and working, ang bao is not the only source of income other than monthly allowance.

Day 1 to 3 is house hopping and gambling for me. I sure must say I enjoyed this year's CNY better than last year's.

Went to more places for visiting, travelled and visited with company. Oh ! and I ate less. Mine ~ I gain weight like free these days.

Satisfactions

2009-01-13T16:08:00.006+08:00

Guess what I did when I was alone at Bugis at 10pm yesterday ?
I went to the arcade ! Without thinking, I headed straight to the soft toy machines :) As I was so bored alone, I changed $10 worth of tokens. After $7 worth of trying, I took an 15 minutes break while looking at how other people catch. Finally, I decided to take another shot. And.....

TaDah ! Meet Bugsy and Pugsy !~ I used $8 to catch this myself *grins*

Today I became a Part-time carpenter instead. Check this out ~

We fixed a total of 5 of this thingy !

Shan is satisfied with herself :)

Encouragement

2009-01-12T09:28:00.005+08:00

- Extracted from Forwarded Mail -

We are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen,
you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you..

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,
but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.

2008-12-31T12:30:00.002+08:00
