It's nice to be Happy

Short Talk: Work just sort of piled in here & there and weekends are beginning to be so precious that I always spend more than 12 hours sleeping through it. Xiaxue recently went to HK Disneyland and actually I was sore of motivated to post my HK experience as well but somehow towards the end of the year so many things are going on until I also blur. I'd been recently bothered by a lot of things: my weight, my eating habits, my work/job, my phone, my mp3.. my glasses/contacts.. suddenly a lot of things just crop up and very troublesome for me to solve it la... I wish all these business would be over soon.

Wednesday, it's back to work in Singapore and the long dreadful traveling returns.

Parents would be touring Macau so we sisters would be on our own while they are gone. Met up with Dearie after work to collect my specs which had been sent to changed lens again. I received the notification of collection while I was in China but I couldn't collect until today.

We returned home and had nice nice kuay teow soup made by Mama...

Thursday, my parents left home early in the morning... sob...

Walked to CG MRT and I was sweatinig like mad... During lunch time, Mr Leong brought us out to Paya Lebar for lunch. Paya Lebar & Aljunied if actually pretty near but the number of cars in S'pore now is absolutely scary... TOO MANY already! The traveling time is longer than the eating time! But I like the Indian/malay food!

After work, I went to da bao food for my sisters since Mama not around to cook le. Da bao zi cha together with Dearie but sisters weren't at home so we ate first.

Friday, out for lunch today again... Seems like Mr Leong would always like to eat nice food all around East/Town area knowing whoever drives.

Mr Leong wanted a Mr Yang to return him his pizza maker so this Mr Yang drove by and we all had dinner at Goldenmile. Mr Yang is quite hot for an uncle, nice big brown eyes.

I finished work a little late today and asked Dearie to da bao for me first if possible. It rained and just so happened that K was driving to NUH to pick his gf (works as a nurse) so since it was toward west, I asked if I could hitch a ride. He dropped me at NUH bus stop at AYE but that bus stop didn't have 198 so I took 197 to JE and changed 98 to the zi cha stall. Dearie was already there but he didn't have money to pay. As it turned out, he dropped his wallet in my bag yesterday and I didn't even realised.

Went home and had zi cha with my sisters again!

Saturday, Happy Halloween 27th Birthday to Mr Z! It's the 4th time we have celebrated our birthdays since 2006.

He had already accompanied me for 2 days and had no new clothes so we cabbed to his place. This fella spend more time preparing himself than the King so I napped while he prepared everything. By the time we were ready to go out, it rained heavily... so sian.

Julia & Julie has been showing a while when I was in China so now, there were only a few selected cinemas still showing. We booked tickets at PS but seems like we couldn't make it on time ALL THANKS TO I-am-sian-of-repeating-myself-on-Mr-buay-zidong-always-tu. We took a cab and SLE/CTE is sure to be jammed and especially during peak hour... by the time we reached PS, cab fare was like $25+ or almost $30... sigh.

6pm show but we only reached at 630pm, 30min late sigh.... so we missed whatever was in front, I hate missing front parts cos then it will be hard to understand what's happening behind!

Julie & Julia is a nice nice show!


So many nice delicacies that I could only dream of eating it in my dreams




It's funny to see Meryl Streep talking in high pitched voice like that... She's an extremely talented actress! I love her!

I wanna find something to do like Julie too! She actually blog everyday, following Julia's recipe everyday either before or after work. Very dedicated & passionate. I also want to do something like that... but what can I do?

I treated Xiang to birthday dinner @ Ichiban. Great food and ate until very full. It's been a while since we went out gai gai like that. It was a very short day spent and we had a great time hanging out with each other. Took 106/99 home.

I was greatly inspired by Julie & Julia. Julie Powell started on a project to blog about her experience/thoughts in trying out Julia Child's 500+ recipes in a year. She really actually blogs everyday? You know that's something I really wish I could do... haha... which sets me thinking.

Should I continue to blog according to the timeline/stuffs I do daily kinda style? Or just post a random thought or an update of my well-being, like a summary of stuffs I do like what I'm doing now in this post? Although I'm really inspired by Julie Powell to think of doing something to achieve everyday and share her thoughts & experience daily to annonymous ppl out in the world wide web, I doubt I can achieve the same... which brings me the next question....

What should I do daily that I can be more regular to my own blog? It should be something I find interesting and not dreadful, like NOT 'reporting' about my life. I already changed the layout to make myself more interested to the colour and header of my own blog! LOL!! but I can't seem to find the time to do EVERYTHING I wanna do. And I seem to read blogs more that I blog.

Haha but not like I've got any readers' opnions I can sort. Cos I don't even know who are the ppl reading except for a handful of friends.

Sunday, an American friend of mine, Tyler would be visiting Singapore and we had arranged via FB to meet 2pm at Habourfront cos I'd be bringing him to Sentosa.

I asked Shan to join in to and we were to meet 130pm at CG platform but she said she'd be late. Xiang & I had chicken rice at the kopitiam beside CG MRT before walking over to the Cheers and got some food like bread, potato chips etc.

Xiang & I reached Habourfront at 2pm but there was no sign of Tyler. I couldn't contact him as he doesn't have mobile phone I could only wait for him to contact me. We waited till 230, still no sign. I thought Shan would be reaching too so we could wait for her but after calling her, she said she was still at home.Got a bit sian about this arrangement. Xiang & I found some seats upstairs and wonder what happened, scully Typer not coming anymore then maybe Shan & us could take luge ride?

Nuah 1 hour and only met up with Shan at around 315. We hung out at PCC cafe to catch up as she recently came back from HK. At around 345, I got Tyler's call and said he was hanging out at Outram/Chinatown and lost track of time. I asked him to come over to Habourfront and we finally met! 4 of us took the Sentosa Express and off we begin...

We visited the Merlion first and along the way, we took together with the colour water feature.


So we went to the front side of Merlion and took some more photos!





This is supposed to be the future Universal Studios!


Too sunny already! Can't stand it! I hate my small squinty eyes and my easily sweat gland! Grrr




A group shot at the mouth of the Merlion!

Not a very flattering shot with my hair messy like that cos of the wind.. sigh...

After we came down from the Merlion, Tyler bought some souvenirs. It was then Shan told us that she gotta go. So after Shan left, we went to the beach... cos Tyler mentioned he wanted to see some beaches so showed him to the part where we could cross over to the beach!

It was near sunset and actually the view were all quite pretty!





Tyler's got a halo!

I quite like this pic of me & Xiang!







And that's Mr Tom Cruise, eh? lol...


with glasses.... hee hee~





Later on we queued up for the luge right. It was just about the right time when the sun just set.



It was hell lot of fun riding down! Extremely fun! Pity it ended too soon! Anyway we hurried up for the Song of the Sea show at 730. We didn't managed to get the middle portion so we watched on the site but it was equally nice!



After the show, it was time to go and we had lunch at the Food Republic @ Vivo City. We treated him to some local delights and I was glad he could take the spicy food! Hehe... We took some parting shots right in front of the sign board.


Out of politeness, I held onto his arm, like those ladies & gentlemen kinda thing. But err... actually his arm was really kinda hairy haha.. but I still brace myself and continue to hold it! LOL! =X

And we definitely got to take some chibi self taken shot!


And then I decided to help him take his 'FB profile pic' which he requested for.

Looks kinda like somebody from the mafia.... But still cool.

He was heading to Orchard and wanted to take a cab. Xiang & I were lazy and we thought of taking a cab home as well but we almost fainted after seeing how long the queue was at the taxi stand. So we decided to take a stop to Outram and try to hail a cab from there but aiya... don't have leh.

So bo bian we stepped inside Majestic Hotel hoping the reception counter ppl could call cab for us? (Luckily it was free) So the first cab came and we bade Tyler goodbye and hope to see him next year again. The next cab came and go home nuah liao~~~~

Monday, got up and had some lovey dovey moments with Xiang. I love waking up to see him and kiss him goodbye and go to work.

Though I don't who are the ppl reading my blog but I guess if there's a chance to promote certain things I feel worth promoting, I will!


So, this is my company's website iLearn and I designed the logo.

Basically, it's an organisation that promotes Chinese cultures, new & old. Like the tagline we have, it's a personal guide to all things Chinese. It's for anybody, you and me who have wishes to visit China, be it for the food or lovely scenic places or any new contemporary entertainment or art. Some of the articles are done by me so we're in the midst of revamping the website.

Recently, Rajat & I were also thinking of a 'group name' for ourselves to do freelance design work. If anyone's interested in engaging our services, please do not hesitate to contact me hor!

Ah, I'm so happy thinking about all these but aiya, still gotta finish up Macau/HK and also China trip (YAY! Japan done!)

Tuesday, changed concept for Flash work and had some arguments/disagreements regarding how/what to show on flash.

I ended up coming up with a mascot for our website and did a few sketches!



Looks pretty funny!

I was actually feeling very happy & excited that i could draw again. We chatted until 7pm then I left office. Papa called me around 8pm and asked why I haven't reached home yet? Usually I reach home before 8, like 750. But today I reached home at 825pm.

Everyday, I reached home tired and I am definitely tired while I'm at work but I am happy & contented cos I like what I'm doing.

Hmm... I should turn this into an art blog! I should start drawing sketches and develop an own style of drawing hor? Then can post & share hor?

It's my love for colours that I love drawing, painting, warm, surprise, feminine, tranquil.... let's see if I may have some works done to show in subsequent posts. =)

We have the best frontline services here!

Short Talk: It's been a while since I last posted anything. Everything's just got really routine. And to think I wanted to dress well, I wanna exercise regularly all come to a halt. Might seem like an excuse blaming the weather but all of a sudden I'm no longer into 'looking good'. Kinda given that thought up... just feeling a bit sian la that's why I have been neglecting my blog too and my room's a mess... I wish I have some kinda week-break to just pull myself back together....Till the next time.

Sunday, didn't go jogging with parents. Met up with Mrs Tan in the afternoon.

After that head out to Orchard with Mian and began on a shopping spree. We alighted at Shaw and crossed the road over to Zara first and saw many nice clothes!!! I love the autumn/winter wear but wah lau clothes there all at least $60... and jackets $120! Why nice clothes all so ex one? Sigh... Just see see only la, not possible to buy any clothes there...

We went over to ION and was amazed by so many beautiful shops. But.. really la.. so ex until I really cannot afford a single piece of item at ION. But it's a different case at Uniqlo. I spent $80 on a jacket and 2 pairs of tights. Good buys! I like my purchases!

Mian then suggested shopping at Far East Plaza but before that she intro me to try this ice cream on ice place. Forgot the name of this dessert place but they serve the best ICE!!!


Man zu man zu man zu man zu~

We shopped around looking for nice suitable clothes and there were a lot of PR* part-timers at the shops. I bought 2 tops for $65. I spent a bomb today again!

We were contemplating to have the ice again but we were afraid of being recognised as greedy pigs. So we had Shilin Chicken Pie instead and ate in the sun with our umbrella behind us blocking the sun! LOL! Then we took 105 home.

Monday, had a pretty long meeting with K today till 7pm discussing about the trip as well as finalising the logo & stuffs.

After work, rushed down to City Hall and met up with ppl whom I used to hang out. Won't name who since I foresee these are ppl whom I won't be hanging out again, at least not soon or frequently anymore. Ok, this is not the first time I'm experiencing 'awkwardness' & 'oblige' to meet up but I am sure I won't get asked out by them either.

感觉不一样了有时候很难把矛头指向一个原因。
既然知道不一样了，也就不会去强求。

我这个人是这样的，只要我察觉你对我有任何 negative vibes,
很有可能不是对方故意要 display 出来，
but obviously there must be something about me causing the other party distress.
So since I know I caused you discomfort, displease, unhappiness, pissed (any other negative vibes), 我也会自动退让或退出。

Ok, maybe one can argue I'm being too overly sensitive when, perhaps, it wasn't even the other party's intention but I mistakened certain actions or reactions and took it personal. So yeah, I'm the kind who can't really take jokes...

Ok change topic.

Dearie was very nice to drive over to my place with his luggage and left. Sometimes I felt I mafan Dearie a lot. Thank you honey bun.

I got home and packed my stuffs a bit before turning in.

Tuesday, I woke up to a rainy day and felt like sleeping more.

After washing up, I wanted to wear contact lens today again BUT!! I realised I'd forgotten to cap my contact lens cap last night so it dried up and hardened! Sigh! So stupid of me, I only opened a new pair of monthly contact lens yesterday!!!!! I only wore it for a day and...grrrr... how stupid can I get! My mind was on packing my luggage that I forgot....grrrr....

Guess what? My forgetfulness followed me today, I'd forgotten to bring my handphone. But not like I get a lot of ppl looking for me. I went to work feeling extremely grouchy cos of my absent mindedness happened today.

My hair was getting long and I'd be in China for 2 weeks so it's best I get it cut today. After work, I hoped to get some nice haircut at the place where Xiang & I got our hair dyed. However, the stylist was on leave today so I went to other salons but seems like their business is good today and got more than 2 customers in line. I didn't want to wait.

I came by this salon, the last one in the market. 2 female hairstylists, one aunty, one young girl. The aunty was attending to a customer so when I said I wanted to trim hair, the aunty asked the girl, "你会不会?" The girl didn't look confident, I was a bit sian also.

She got me on the seat and then began to examine my head/hair and began trimming little by little. In my heart, I was really worried and all but bo bian I needed it to be trimmed and as it turned out, yes, my hair was screwed and still fucking charge me $15 for a TMD skills by a junior/newby. Even I go to Kelly Service and attended by Asst Manager also only $12. CB!

I walked home and kept flipping my hair and all cos I felt disgusted by my fugly hair. I got home and quickly went to trim it on my own again until I happy. EEeeeee I'm never going back there la. Trimming short hair is not for everyone if they do not have skills cos it's very likely the ppl will turn out looking like goons. IDIOT LA!!!

Dearie came by to accompany me while I did some last minute packing and went to bed feeling excited about this trip.

Wednesday, it's the day I'm going to fly to Shanghai!!!!!

I got up around 10am and got changed, prepared and managed to squeeze maomao inside my luggage which I borrowed from Dearie. So Papa, Mama & Dearie accompanied me to T3 and we all waited for K so that we may check our luggage and be seated together.

I went to change my SGD into RMB. I hope 300SGD is able to let me survive 2 weeks. After changing currency, K's not here so we sat around to wait for him. While waiting, Xiang wanted to drink something and just so happen there was a TCC. So we went there... I wasn't hungry or thirsty or anything but he was hungry and wanted to have something so I only intend to accompany him and he'd be eating only but later we saw a promotion at the entrance somewhere along the line of "Use UOB credit card to sign off bill and received a complimentary dessert." We asked the waitress behind the entrance counter and she said we could order anything with minimum purchase of $15 and we'll get the dessert.

So it seems like a good deal, hence we went in and get ourselves seat. What follow up next was a series of major turn offs that I regretted terribly for dining there...

Major turn off #1 - Order at Counter
We wanted to make orders but later was told that we have to make orders at the counter and pay first. Fine, I shouldn't be expecting to be waited on on the table we were sitting at. But a bit off right? Imagine a lone foreigner or tourist with luggage/bag who happen to walk in and wanted or eat/drink something but was asked to order at the counter... then his/her bulky belongings how?

Anyway, halfway while Xiang was ordering at the counter, I received K's call to say that he's reached. So we queued up and checked in our luggage in matter of 15min. (Papa was with me and Mama exploring airport) K was with his gf so we parted and said to meet at the departure gate later. From where I was checking my luggage, I could see TCC & Xiang and he was STILL at the counter after 15min. I went to check it out what's wrong.

Initially, Xiang & I only wanted to share a drink and a chicken pie but because of the $15 min purchase, we ordered another drink. So we were thinking 3 item + 1 free complimentary item. So Xiang signed for the 2 drinks + 1 chicken pie we ordered and waited for our food. Yes, still gotta self service one. TMD.

Then Xiang asked about the dessert, it was only then the manager said "Oh, sorry, forgot to give you the voucher for the dessert."

Major turn off #2 - FAKE POSTER
Apparently the big poster at the entrance is actually a promotion for free complimentary dessert VOUCHER that could only be used in a separate day. BUT IT WAS FUCKING STATED IN THE POSTER!!!! The poster merely put "Use UOB credit card to sign off bill and received a complimentary dessert." It didn't say it was a voucher, it didn't say cannot use on same day/purchase.

Major turn off #3 - Poor service
So Xiang was like, "But it didn't say it was a voucher on the poster. And we verified with your waitress who said it was a dessert." As expected, the manager give shitty excuses like, "I'm sorry, she's new and not clear about our promotion."

Then I said, "But that's the reason why we ordered min $15. Why would I order min $15, only to use the dessert voucher the NEXT time? If we're not getting the dessert then can we cancel one of the drinks?"

And he replied, "I'm sorry m'am, you can't cancel. The card has already been signed and already went through our machines & records." What big shit leh.. I worked as Takashimaya cashier before, I do refund everyday with customers changing minds to buy something...you tell me cannot refund? You see, the deal is if I was told the food has already been prepared then fine, I understand... if some chef/cook already prepared the meal THEN customer say wanna cancel, that's really too much. I'm not so zek ark.. but this fella come and tell me payment via credit card cannot refund and went through machines & records... well, then void it and do a refund & cash back/return which was what I used to do for returned goods that has already been paid/signed. (ok sometimes only selected items and/or item/product exchange)

Why so inflexible one??? Fine, so it's troublesome to make refund. We are clearly unhappy with the FUCKING MISLEADING POSTER, no dessert and for the sake of dessert want to cancel 1 of the items, and the stupid attitude/service doesn't help one bit... you're telling me you CAN'T do anything at all besides stupid apologising?

So I super buay song, my parents came over and asked what happened, we explained and I was in a terrible mood and no appetite but still bo bian gotta sit there and eat & drink... Not say I customer big shot, pay ppl still must see lian se. But I just find the whole thing super duper ridiculous lor. I mean ya la it's just $15+, just a small amount .... still!

Never really walk around cos mood already spoil liao. Basically just spending time talking to Xiang & my parents before K appeared and we walked through the boarding gate and prepare for boarding.

Didn't really have a lot of enthu, was just filling up forms and such but it's been a long time since I get to board an SQ and I saw a familiar face on board! But that's for the next post... Till the next time...

To be continued....

Thriller

Short Talk: Instead of Osaka post, here's a post of last month's happenings. Not a lot of pictures though. To think I'd be free to post My Travels but I end up being busy again.... everyday after work I'd be so dead beat. And forever not enough sleep as well....

Saturday, slept at 2am and got up at 12pm... I slept for 10 hours!!!

I watched TV and ate.. and ate.. and ate... I cup of cereal, 1 meat bun, 1 plate for fried kuay teow, 2 xiao long bao while watching random show on TV AXN channel. I missed watching my TV so much... I miss all my channels so much. I wondered if they miss me too... 是的！我是一个大电视迷.

It was a Josh Harnett movie called Wicker Park.

I didn't expect this was such a shiok suspense movie!

It started with present scene about a guy who caught glimpse of his ex-girlfriend and he followed her and trying to find if it was her but he lost sight and was determined to find out her whereabouts.


Story flashbacked to 2 years ago where he worked in a local handycam stall and was meddling with the DV cam and caught sight of a blonde and was smittened by her so he followed her, in hopes of trying to get to know her. As it turned out the blonde (Lisa) entered a shoe shop which belonged to Josh's friend, Luke. So Josh posed as a staff and served Lisa and they're how they got to know each other.

They were attracted to each other and they got together and Josh got a new job offer and wanted to ask Lisa to move to the other state with him but she disappeared without a trace and left Josh heartbrokened.

Back to the present, Josh went back to Lisa's old apartment trying to find her (he still has the keys). Some of Lisa's old stuffs were still there and he was very sure Lisa is back... But, it turned out that some brunette lady who claimed that her name is also Lisa live there now. So naturally since Josh thought he got the wrong lady, he wanted to leave but the brunette Lisa asked him to stay saying she has got a stalker downstairs and don't want to be alone. So they spent the night together.

With the appearance of this brunette woman, the real story starts to unfold....

Luke told Josh that he's currently seeing this girl who's a theatre actress. And this girl whom Luke is seeing is... brunette Lisa! So her real name is Alex! After a date with Luke, Alex went home and guess what, there Lisa was! They're both friends!

So the story flashback again! Alex was living alone in her apartment, she's a quiet & shy girl. There was a DV handycam she likes to frequent and there she met Josh and has a crush on him but do not dare to get to know him.

One day, Alex got a new blonde neighbour and that's how she gotten to know Lisa and they both became BFF since they live alone. Alex got a DV cam from Josh and was thrilled and played around filming Lisa but the cam spoilt. So it was a chance for her to talk to Josh again for sending the cam for repair. So Alex left the cam with Josh and said she'd come back and collect later. Josh was fiddling with the cam and noticed a beautiful lady captured in the camera (That's Lisa) and it just so happen he saw the exact woman across the street... At the same time Alex returned and wanted to collect her cam and witness all these and immediately understood Josh like Lisa! She was crestfallen.

So Josh & Lisa got together, Alex was green with envy and was jealous cos she believe she saw Josh first!

So this bitch began her plan of keeping them apart... As Lisa was a dancer, her troupe had a last minute 3-day performance at another city, she couldn't tell Josh in time and asked Alex to hand a letter to Josh. But Alex didn't do it and even said mean things about Lisa not being serious about this relationship with Josh and asked Josh to accept herself instead!

And when Lisa returned back, she asked Alex about Josh and she said Josh left with another woman. Lisa was sad... so the bitch managed to succeed to break the couple apart.

Back to the present, Lisa returned and stayed with Alex and habours thought of seeking Josh's whereabouts but was devestated to hear that he left with some woman 2 years ago. In the meantime, Luke invited Josh to meet his girlfriend, Alex for a dinner and TADA!!! Alex didn't know Josh was Luke's friend and Josh thought this was supposed to be brunette Lisa! The lie was exposed...

The story flashbacked to few weeks earlier again to the starting scene of the movie where Josh caught a glimpse of whom he thought was Lisa. Josh was actually there with his colleagues for a dinner gathering... At the other end of the room was actually Lisa waiting to meet Alex. Alex arrived and spotted Josh but didn't want either of them to bump into each other so Alex called Lisa by mobile and lied that she couldn't make it and urgently ask Lisa to meet her at another place.

In the end, Lisa don't know what was happening until Josh managed to find her and embraced her and once again he found his lost love....

Fwah~ It was really very thrilling & exciting to see the story going back & forth and revealing what actually happened between the characters!!

After that went to Dearie's place by can and nuah at his place waiting for him to get ready. We caught Ugly Truth.


It has been out for some time already so there weren't a lot of ppl in the cinema we watched. I'd say it's one of those cliche storylines which the Koreans has already explored it. You know... guy teach unreachable girl about dating and falls in love with her, snobbish girl thought it was hard for guys to fall in love with her.

She learns about being a 'perfect girl' to make that hot guy like her... when hot guy really like her, she realised it was all an act to go all out to make guys fall in love with an image instead of who she really is.


So she realised she seem to like her 'trainer'... so blablabla...


But there's something I don't understand...why is it that after you spent time with someone, you'd develop feelings for him/her? Bllllaahhhh scary! That's how affairs start I guess.

After movie, I saw Dearie to MRT where he left for work while I continued and shopped! It was near closing time so I bought 3 items in the same shop: pants, best, scarf totally $84! Great buys, I like!

Sunday, went jogging with parents...

Dearie came over in the afternoon and we went JP gai gai. We made glasses @ Northern Atlantic. It looked posh instead of some er xin SPEC***LE H*T shops with er xin bosses =P We chose frames as well as took our degrees. Mine cost $300 after frame($150) + lenses. Xiang has chosen as $450+ but his company can cover him $500! So shiok! And his glasses end up costing $568! Goodness...

Was supposed to go over Neng's hostel to clean up her room for her but it was raining and already 9pm+ so since we're going over to Neng's it seem nearer to go from JP instead of us going home back to JE and come out again... so I asked Papa to tumpang us but he seem very dulan & pissed cos very mafan....

Tmd....

Neng was saying Papa was very angry earlier and if it's so mafan to take her to hostel every Sunday night, she said she don't wanna live in hostel for the next semester liao.

There are times I like Papa, there are time I wish Papa has been more fatherly-like towards my sisters too.

Monday, so much for wanting to look better but I ended up going to office with glasses and my purple T-shirt.

K brought me to another eating place today and just so happen there was another guy wearing the similar purple shirt I wore and he teased that I was a couple with that guy cos we were wearing couple T. Sometimes the 'jokes' he made are pretty dry *rolls eyes* And not like the said guy was hot....

Tuesday, I woke up seeing dark.

My alarm typically rings at 7am but it was dark and I realised it was raining outside. I lai chuang for another 10min, got dressed and went out. It was a nice day to wear winter clothes =X.

I wore purple for 2 consecutive days. Oh mo....

Wednesday, Mr Leong was around today and whenever he's around, we get to eat good food.

From what I understood, he used to be a chef so I guess he's the kind who 'live to eat'. So he eats good food, even for lunch. He'd get K to drive us out and we're eat outside, around East area - a part of Singapore that I absolutely have no idea to get around. What Kallang, Geylang, Aljunied, Marine Parade, East Coast... sorry I fail in that.

So we had lunch at an Indian/Muslim place at Marine Parade's Grand Roxxy (or is it with one 'r'?) Hotel. It taste pretty good.

I met up with Xiang after work today. We were supposed to meet at the first cabin going toward Joo Koon but that idiot actually took the first cabin going toward Pasir Ris instead and I had to wait for him at Chinese Garden while he get off at Clementi and trying to take the correct direction.

While waiting for him, I was approached by an uncle. I kid you not ok! He looks like those married, jobless, lok kok uncles who hang around kopitiam. He beo me and said, "小妹，可以跟你做朋友吗？" I was appalled and baffled. Now what times already still got ppl approaching girls like that, some more is uncle lor and I said. "不可以." He asked, "为什么不可以？" STILL NEED TO ASK WHY ONE MEH??? I was pretty disgusted and said, "我没有兴趣." He look look a bit then walked off liao.... siao!

Dearie came and we went to the Loreal salon beside my dentist and have our hair dyed. Nice nice hairstylist. Next time will go 光顾 him again.

Thursday, my trip to China is more or less confirmed. I'd be flying off next Tues.

After work, decided to collect my glasses with Xiang but also meeting WY for dinner. After collecting glasses, met up with WY at Benten but she had already eaten so she only ordered ice cream and shared with her stories from The Most Amazing Boss In The World back at you-know-where.

Everyone's suffering there...and after I left, WY left and a couple left too. What does it show??? That the bosses are very CB & LJ lor... lol... She also shared with us being set up by her friend with another guy and that guy confessed his love for her after 2 dates and wanted her to be his gf. What is this... so gross... Before I met Xiang, I had fair share of meeting dorks myself 'confirming' me to be their special one like after 1 or 2 dates!! Goodness!!! Got so desperate boh? You don't even know me, you just like what you're seeing.

We bade each other goodbye after the dessert at around almost 10pm. Hopefully we'd keep in touch often with each other.

Friday, Dearie went to work in the morning, so did I.

Can't remember much that happened except that Ken brought a Dell laptop for me for my use in China so I decided to bring it home to reformat it with Dearie's help.

Saturday, the initial plan was to go over to look for Dearie so he could help me reformat this laptop and after he leave for night shift I'd go back home.

But the bestest boyfriend end up coming over saying it'd be mafan for me if I brought so many things over and gotta bring them all home again. Hehe.. Dearie ish da best... so nice to me!! He installed all the drivers on this company laptop for me but somehow there was a confuse between Window XP & Window Vista. The laptop's Vista but I only have XP driver but I thought if I use XP it'd be alright but it's not compatible with the laptop... Gotta get the correct drivers from K again.

Dearie then went to work while I nuah at home.
