Ya.. Haven't been updating..
Cos.. I'm very busy.. trying to run my sims' lives..
YUP!! Recently I bought Sims 2 Deluxe (which is the original Sims 2 and Nightlife) and I've been playing it almost every night.
I'm a Sims-fanatic!
It's really like playing God over your Sims which either you've created or pre-created by the game. Running their lives as if your own but making it even more perfect..
Now.. my hands are itchy.. hoping to buy more extensions..
Lao ban niang just flew to US for conference/ study trip. I was made the covering centre manager during her absence. It's the auditing period as well.. so.. I'm given the task of answering auditors' questions.. As everyone know, I'm a finance-idiot..
Ask me why this amount like that, that amount why no tally, why this, why that.. Haiyo.. How i know?!! I din do the reports and stats what!! Anyway, lao ban niang already told me, just tell them that she will get back to them when she's back.
Before she left, she asked me if I wanted to get anything from US. I dunno what to buy.. though i tot of asking her to tabao Dunkin' Donuts.. LOL!
Whatever it is, I told her that I will email her once I know of anything..
Then just yesterday, lao ban niang sms-ed me.. and told me she's at Bobbi Brown and asked me if i wanna get anything.. yes.. She's also a Bobbi Brown fan liao.
I guess everyone can guess what I will do next..
Open Bobbi Brown webby.. and saw their latest eye shadow palette.. Stonewashed Nudes.. and immediately got her to buy including 1 other eyeshadow which is not available in sg. My statistician also got herself a 2-way cake after trying out mine.
On the same night... my Surf N Sand palette came as well! Finally released in Sg!!! So happy!! My Makeup artist called me to pick up and when I went down to Isetan Scotts, he told me I was their 1st customer to get it. WAHAHAHAHA..
The colours are amazing!! So different from Bobbi's all other colours..
Definately worth my wait!!
Brought it to work today, cos statistician wanna see. I dabbed on 1 colour on her eyes since she already had her eyeshadow. Immediately, she can see the difference in her eyes. So much brighter! Tried on Queen and HR Director as well.. all 3 of them loved the colours..
Statistician requested that I bring my gel eyeliner and the palette so that I can do a eyes-makeover for her tmr. She likes the eyeliner that I used after seeing me using it everyday. Told her that she doesn't need to draw such a thick line like mine, cos, she got double eyelids and her eyes are big. Not like mine, small and single lids. LOL.. Must draw thicker so that it will show. :P
So.. tmr i'm gonna be a freelance makeup artist, just for the day..
This hobby.. is definately.. a expensive hobby.. :P
But like what my makeup artist said, he loves to see women smile after he helped them to put on suitable makeup and how it bring out their features. I like how my colleagues glee in joy when they see a difference in their looks. :)

Amore.. and my 1st Aerobics..
Had my 1st low-impact (fast-paced) aerobics class at Amore today..
Class was good.. with all my colleagues.. and... it's damned f**king FAST-PACED!!!
Hands like legs, and legs are like hands.. so fast.. until.. I dunno where my legs or hands shd be..
My body now..started to ache.. grRrr~
Anyway.. thanks to the aerobics, my makeup from bobbi brown is put to the ultimate test. 1 hour of continous perspiring.. and wiping from my towel..
My gel eyeliner, mascara and eye shadow stays on.. no smudges!
My foundation and blush, at least 30% stayed on.. considering that I din put much due to my high acne population (becos of the time of the month).
I din took off my makeup.. due to.. laziness.. LOL~ Yeah.. i know it's probably bad for my already bad skin.
Anyway.. my every penny spent on Bobbi Brown is well-worth! Ho Ho Ho~
Waiting for the next class next Monday.. I wondered if I will actually lose any weight at all..
Shall see after 1 month. :)
WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Tagged~!!
Kenna sabo-ed by Weijing through her blog.
I heard about Tag.. but never did I expect kenna tagged by my own friends..
Anyway.. for the sake of FUN.. I shall reveal.. the 10 facts about me..
1) I used to be very..very... tomboyish during school days.. Never wear skirts, other than my own school skirt and Girl Guide uniform. Always in t-shirt and jeans.. Even tot being tomboyish will help me 'gain' popularity with the boys.. DUH~ Felt so stupid now.. (-.-)
2) Wore this stupid-looking super big glasses during primary school. Prescribed by the optician located downstairs of my old block at Jurong West St 41 Blk 456. He said.. it was the most popular one then.. POPULAR MY F**KING HEAD!!! My NRIC is still bearing this stupid looking dork picture.. I shall reveal this ugly-looking alien to everyone..
Now.. I feel like digging my eyes out.. and YOURS TOO!!!
3) I guess I was much of an introvert before Secondary 2.. and a scarycat.. Scared of ordering food from hawker stalls, scared of going out without my parents, scared of getting called by my bro's teacher during primary school becos' it's usually due to his poor studies or mischief. Slowly became more outgoing after I joined Girl Guides later in Sec 1 (becos' one of my classmates pulled me in) and I said my first 'Grace' during our leadership camp at Camp Christine. yes.. i said 'GRACE' only, cos' I wasn't a Christian and no idea what 'grace' means.. so just say Grace lor..
4) My home once got its electricity and water supply cut off because my dad was out of a job and my mum wasn't working so we had no money to pay the bills. Luckily my family were close-knitted and helped us tide through that difficult time. I was only primary 4 then and preparing for my streaming exams. Since then, I swore silently that I will never let my family fall into that state again. Must work and earn big bucks and let my parents have a good life. That also helped me understand how some families struggled through such times during my course of work.
5) I was a comics freak.. started collecting DragonBall comics since young.. and now.. I have their full series.. as well as SailorMoon. Even collected A-Club magazines.. Think I spent almost more than 1k there..
6) I tried acted as an ah-lian once.. during sec 4... Ok.. a FAT ah-lian.. LOL~
Anyway.. I gave up acting as one.. cos' more or less, I'm already like one lor.. talk chor-lor, walk chor-lor,.. open mouth, close mouth all KNN, CB lar.. Tsk tsk.. BAD BAD BAD.. But still a student which teachers adore.. *evil laff* I was even a pet student of my Home Econs teacher (took Home Econs and F&N for my O levels)...
7) After Sec 4, engaged in IRC-ing.. and... a 'well-known' irc-er back then, using LemonTea as my nick where all others called me LT instead. Got lotsa god-brothers and god-sisters.. In fact my 1st boyfriend was from IRC.. and steady for 2.5 years. :P Sadly.. things din work out well.. I even heard he's already married now.. Congrats congrats..
8) I enjoyed my Poly days very much.. my most memorable part of my life.. with the company of my 5 other good friends, Qiuyun, Gary, Jianhao, Jason and the long-lost Bee Har. We were the gang of SPAC2GO.. Had so much fun also.. Even now.. our outings still drowned in lotsa laughter and fun.. SP is also where I got to know my buddy, Siti Awiyah or Awyn or 'Wyn' in short.. 8 hours everyday stuck together doing video editing during our final year project .. you are bound to just stick to one another.. We are buddies since then.. till now.. and will always be..
9) I LURVE going to WATSONS!! I can spent an hour or so there.. browsing through their stuffs.. especially health and beauty products.. Constantly looking for miracle products to make my pimples and scars disappear in a night or make me slim in just 1 dosage.. :P
I hate going into clothings stores which salesgirls like to use their eyes to mock at you for not being able to fit into their XL clothings. I will always curse them silently.. either shop will close down or the salesgirls will just grow fat and ugly for every chubby girl they mocked.
I will tend to frequent a shop/ salesperson if I find them very professional and friendly. That's the reason why I will keep on going back to my 2 makeup artists (Charles and Jerlyn) at Bobbi Brown. Not only the products speak for themselves, but the MA are professionals who will not judge you by your complexion.
10) Lastly.. I have a wish that I will get married by 25 and have kids by 27. Cos' I wanna be as young as possible when my kids are ready for the working world. Then I can go travel around the world with my husband. Then of cos.. it's a dream. LOL~
So there... 10 fun facts about me..
Mock if you dare.. WAHAHAHAHA~
Next on list to Sabo..
1) Raymond aka Tiramisuboy
2) Shu Juan
3) My bro - Patrick
4) Shermaine aka my bro's gf
5) Siti.. aka Wyn.. (pronounced as Wee)
6) Sock Mun (if she writes a blog.. LOL)

I haven't eaten so much in the past few months..
It must have been the company that I'm with that I haven't eaten so much for the past few months..
Lady boss treated the 5 of us to Kintamani Restaurant.. We laffed.. and we ate.. and we laff again.. We talked about work.. the people at work.. how their childish behaviour and attitude affected the whole department..
B'cos of their jealousy.. their belittleness of themselves.. their insecurities.. they made 2 poor colleagues cry on Monday. Even though the 2 gals did something wrong, but they have already apologised yet.. one of the 'children' refused to accept their apologies..
And so.. as team leader (and being the only leader around since lady boss and another team lead was not in), of cos.. definately had to do service recovery for them..
Apart from listening to what had happened (since I prefer to let Lady boss handle the 2 'children'), I did what I had to do as a friend- giving them a lunch treat @ Swensens. It's what I can do to let them feel better; they are not just support staff for officers to boss around but capable colleagues who did their best to whichever job given to them.
Even though the incident had passed for a few days now.. their hearts are already sore.. and bitter.. To think that those 2 'children' are degree-holders.. their behaviour are really worse than children..
I shan't comment much on them.. but I only hope that our department can become 1 united team..
==============================================
Yesterday.. bf and I went to Vivo for a walk after his family gathering.. Took us some time (firstly I wanted to makeup before I go out) and Vivo carpark was full.. So we had to drive another round to park at Habourfront instead.
Walking around, bf asked me is there anything I had in mind that I wanna see/ look/ buy? I told him the typical stuffs lor.. shoes, bags, wallets or makeup lor.. Of cos, he will definately forbid me to go anywhere near Bobbi Brown. LOL~
So walking around Tangs, I was browsing through if I can find any wallets. I'm very choosy over what I want..
For wallets, no coin compartment cos it makes my wallet bulky. enough card compartment, cos' considering I have numerous discount and membership cards.
For bags, must be sleek yet sporty and can be paired off nicely for work and play. It's almost impossible to find such bags unless the bag is leather/ partial leather/ 'fake' leather.. I have set my eyes on 1 bag previously.. under Fion. It's a document bag.. but... it's bloody expensive at $200++. Other bags are either having too short/ long straps, too big/ small, too colourful/ dull.
For shoes, right now.. it's either I buy shoes for work which I prefer half-boots nowadays or casual going-out shoes. Boots.. till now I have not seen any that I like. Eiher the heels are too thick and ugly, or design is yucky. Aldo and Ecco are nice.. but probably can squeeze my wallet dry. Even everbest also dun have the design. Causal shoes.. saw many many.. but... SO EXPENSIVE..
Therefore.. the probably affordable one and easier to find is probably wallet. So.. we scouted through the mens section (yes.. I use mens wallet.. cos they have nice design whch the ladies one dun have and of cos' bf is the one who choose for me) and the womens section. I set my eyes on 3.. 1 Renoma, 1 Braun Buffel and another Balenciaga. I can't decide on which is the one..
Pricing.. is about the same.. and becos of GSS, it's 20 to 30% sales.
Walking around..thinking.. and decided not to buy, cos... I hv already sort of burst my budget..
But.. darling bf is such a dear.. said he will buy for me as a present. So.. I decided to buy the Balenciaga one. Soft leather, with no coins compartment and lotsa card slots. Sweet.. and 20% off somemore.. Me a happy piggy!!
Then we continued to walk around Vivo.. and went into Timberland since they also having good discounts. Looking through the shoes.. bf spotted a few.. and I spotted a couple of nice-looking shoes for him. Our fave.. was ultra-sleek, cool, and NICE.. but limited edition.. meaning.. even after discount.. it's still $250.. So we settled on another one.. $79 with 50% discount.. his 'fave' safety-shoes-lookalike.. Ha ha ha ha.. he probably missed his on-job training days wearing his safety shoes.. So.. gave him permission to charge to the card and pay it next month when bill comes.
2 very happy pigs left Vivo with a smile on their face.. We are glad that we both now have steady and reputable jobs and able to go window shopping. We compliment each other in some ways.. to make up for our own flaws. Our lives may not be as exciting as others but.. we definately enjoy each other's company so much.. that we dun need so many excitement in our lives. LOL~
However, to us.. once in a while, a little surprise will spice up our relationship that will last for a long time.. :)

Aerobics..
Yesh.. I'm going for aerobics next month!
If it wasn't so cheap, I probably won't even wanna think about going for aerobics. LOL~
My workplace is subsidizing $60 and with just $10, we can enjoy around 6 lessons of low-impact aerobics. My colleagues from my department are joining.. so I've got plenty of companionship.. though the dreaded thought of people watching a lump of fats jumping around might be an unpleasant sight.. (-.-)
Anyway, I'm really excited.. perhaps after that can psycho them to join me in the hip-hop dance class as well. LOL.. More BOUNCING FATS!!!
Bf and I went to Marina Square today for window shopping.. I bought myself an Adidas 3/4 exercise 'bermudas'. Cos those yoga/ exercise pants that I saw were either of a material too thin or it's too long for my short legs. Ha ha ha.. So, bf suggested that I buy those 3/4 type. To my astonishment.. I can fit into its XL size with some room to spare. YiPpEE~!! Usually I never managed to squeeze into any of those sports clothings since their sizes dun run big. I've tried Reebok ones in the fitting room and I can actually wear them without being too tight. So.. I guessed the clothing brands finally realised that if they want overweight peeps to lose weight, they better have sizes for them so that they can wear the correct gear to exercise.
I'm now a happy girl who realised she can finally buy decent yoga pants in XL sizes. LOL~
(I probably haven't lost much weight cos' it's already written on the label that the clothes are designed according to asian sizes. Even so, I'm happy liao.. )
Last night, we went out with his buddy, Star for a late night supper and late night shopping at Mustafa. His wife din come along cos she's studying for her course. We ate at Ho Kee at Aljunied, both guys ate porridge and lotsa Fried youtiao with Sotong.. cos I couldn't stuff anymore things into my pig belly liao. Ha ha ha..
Poor Star thought that the porridge was like those small bowl kind (similar to Rui Chun) but it came to be those big soup bowl type. WAHAHAHA.. no choice lor.. must eat.. somemore we ordered quite lotsa dim sum.
Ate there till 12++ before we decided to head out to Kallang Mcdonald's for more drinks. It's soccer night, Man. U vs Chelsea but we din managed to get any seats near the TV. Anyway, we just ordered drinks and waited till 1am+ so that we no need to see too many foreign workers in Mustafa. I can't stand the smell lor..
Accompanied the guys around the shopping centre.. Bf was like so excited at the tools, car assessories section.. Star was looking for those wood shaver so that he can rework on his house's grill gate. His house is spacious.. but.. ulu.. Used to have a big drain in front of his block which he said, his neighbour saw a lady in white along the drain.. (-.-) Went to his house a few times.. Scenery so nice.. and..er... pitch black (cos' facing the forest) at night.. and cooling.
Anyway... we walked around and reached the health products section. Joking about re-stocking rubber and i was joking to bf why the lubricant+massage gel is in such a weird dildo-like bottle when Star pointed to durex's new play wand. I was like, Eh.. Play Wand?
Star later said it's a vibrator.. LOL.. The packaging is really nice.. and it doesn't look a 'vibrator' at all.
We then looked at the mobile phone section, ogling at the new phone models. Bf is eyeing for a new ear-piece since his ear-piece is starting to fall apart. It's the one which I bought for him 2 years back. Maybe if the ear-piece can tahan.. next month I will buy for bf as a present if I have some budget left after paying for my credit card bills, income tax, hp+internet bills, car instalment and road tax, not forgetting saving a bit of $$ for our wedding if we wanna get married next year.
Too bad.. I din strike 4D.. :P
Anyway.. Star was hoping to buy a new hp for his wife. No camera function though.. cos she works in a high-secuity govt. stat board. He saw one.. but hor.. if not for the obiang hot pink colour, it will be a nice phone for her. Not that I dislike pink, in fact I like pink colour, but depending on what type of pink and where it's shown on. The pink too loud liao..
By the time we reached home after sending Star back, it's already 5am++. We were dead tired..
Knocked out after bathing.. and only woke up this AFTERNOON at 3pm. Bleahz~
Oh Oh.. I just realised something..
While chatting last night, Star told me that his sis is selling those big-eye contact lenses on her blog. So since now that I can wear contact lenses.. I asked him for his's blog and scrolling through...
I found out that.. my ex-secondary school mate is actually Star's sister!!!!! Cos the sis put some pictures of my friend, I was wondering if it's her.. and... and.. I saw Star's pic.. and SO... I realised.. they are really siblings lor. Small world leh!!
Everything kinda tally now.. she used to live in Jurong West Ext, Star also lived there, cos bf told me before and her name is also Chan Jack ** while Star's name is also Chan Jack **.
remembered he said before his 2nd sister used to have poor health (my ex-sec sch friend also.. I remembered one of the times during sec 3 or 4, she was having this thyroid problem and it affected her. The boys in class gave her very horrible nicknames.) and it's probably due to the bad feng-shui of the house that's why they moved house to current CCK.
Anyway, after O levels, I din keep in touch with many of my sec sch friends which I'm ashamed to say. :P
Well.. Jack Mun, if you are seeing this entry (since you are in my friendster's and I've just sent you a message), I dunno if I ever said anything horrible to you before or do anything horrible to you last time. But if I did, my sincere apologies to you. I remembered very faintly that we were once good friends until something happened.. My memory's failing me so I can't remember most of the good o' days.
Perhaps we can go out one day with your bro as well.. and catch up with the old times. :)
Going to end this long entry.. and wake up tomorrow to go hospital with my dad for his follow-up.
おやすみなさい。(Oyasumina-sai)

I can fit into its XL size with some room to spare. YiPpEE~!! Usually I never managed to squeeze into any of those sports clothings since their sizes dun run big. I've tried Reebok ones in the fitting room and I can actually wear them without being too tight. So.. I guessed the clothing brands finally realised that if they want overweight peeps to lose weight, they better have sizes for them so that they can wear the correct gear to exercise.
I'm now a happy girl who realised she can finally buy decent yoga pants in XL sizes. LOL~
(I probably haven't lost much weight cos' it's already written on the label that the clothes are designed according to asian sizes. Even so, I'm happy liao.. )
Last night, we went out with his buddy, Star for a late night supper and late night shopping at Mustafa. His wife din come along cos she's studying for her course. We ate at Ho Kee at Aljunied, both guys ate porridge and lotsa Fried youtiao with Sotong.. cos I couldn't stuff anymore things into my pig belly liao. Ha ha ha..
Poor Star thought that the porridge was like those small bowl kind (similar to Rui Chun) but it came to be those big soup bowl type. WAHAHAHA.. no choice lor.. must eat.. somemore we ordered quite lotsa dim sum.
Ate there till 12++ before we decided to head out to Kallang Mcdonald's for more drinks. It's soccer night, Man. U vs Chelsea but we din managed to get any seats near the TV. Anyway, we just ordered drinks and waited till 1am+ so that we no need to see too many foreign workers in Mustafa. I can't stand the smell lor..
Accompanied the guys around the shopping centre.. Bf was like so excited at the tools, car assessories section.. Star was looking for those wood shaver so that he can rework on his house's grill gate. His house is spacious.. but.. ulu.. Used to have a big drain in front of his block which he said, his neighbour saw a lady in white along the drain.. (-.-) Went to his house a few times.. Scenery so nice.. and..er... pitch black (cos' facing the forest) at night.. and cooling.
Anyway... we walked around and reached the health products section. Joking about re-stocking rubber and i was joking to bf why the lubricant+massage gel is in such a weird dildo-like bottle when Star pointed to durex's new play wand. I was like, Eh.. Play Wand?
Star later said it's a vibrator.. LOL.. The packaging is really nice.. and it doesn't look a 'vibrator' at all.
We then looked at the mobile phone section, ogling at the new phone models. Bf is eyeing for a new ear-piece since his ear-piece is starting to fall apart. It's the one which I bought for him 2 years back. Maybe if the ear-piece can tahan.. next month I will buy for bf as a present if I have some budget left after paying for my credit card bills, income tax, hp+internet bills, car instalment and road tax, not forgetting saving a bit of $$ for our wedding if we wanna get married next year.
Too bad.. I din strike 4D.. :P
Anyway.. Star was hoping to buy a new hp for his wife. No camera function though.. cos she works in a high-secuity govt. stat board. He saw one.. but hor.. if not for the obiang hot pink colour, it will be a nice phone for her. Not that I dislike pink, in fact I like pink colour, but depending on what type of pink and where it's shown on. The pink too loud liao..
By the time we reached home after sending Star back, it's already 5am++. We were dead tired..
Knocked out after bathing.. and only woke up this AFTERNOON at 3pm. Bleahz~
Oh Oh.. I just realised something..
While chatting last night, Star told me that his sis is selling those big-eye contact lenses on her blog. So since now that I can wear contact lenses.. I asked him for his's blog and scrolling through...
I found out that.. my ex-secondary school mate is actually Star's sister!!!!! Cos the sis put some pictures of my friend, I was wondering if it's her.. and... and.. I saw Star's pic.. and SO... I realised.. they are really siblings lor. Small world leh!!
Everything kinda tally now.. she used to live in Jurong West Ext, Star also lived there, cos bf told me before and her name is also Chan Jack ** while Star's name is also Chan Jack **.
remembered he said before his 2nd sister used to have poor health (my ex-sec sch friend also.. I remembered one of the times during sec 3 or 4, she was having this thyroid problem and it affected her. The boys in class gave her very horrible nicknames.) and it's probably due to the bad feng-shui of the house that's why they moved house to current CCK.
Anyway, after O levels, I din keep in touch with many of my sec sch friends which I'm ashamed to say. :P
Well.. Jack Mun, if you are seeing this entry (since you are in my friendster's and I've just sent you a message), I dunno if I ever said anything horrible to you before or do anything horrible to you last time. But if I did, my sincere apologies to you. I remembered very faintly that we were once good friends until something happened.. My memory's failing me so I can't remember most of the good o' days.
Perhaps we can go out one day with your bro as well.. and catch up with the old times. :)
Going to end this long entry.. and wake up tomorrow to go hospital with my dad for his follow-up.
おやすみなさい。(Oyasumina-sai)

It's been a fruitful.. virus-ful...week..
Down with flu today.. been sneezing.. sniffing.. and now running fever (again)..
Monday... I kenna stiff neck which affected moi poor head.. got headache.. and slight fever.. but went down in the noon time..
Yesterday.. was feeling very... 'light'.. my head was like spinning every now and then.. but I manage to pull through.
Bf and I went to have dinner with his buddy, Star and his wife @ IMM Aijisen. Been a long time since we last had dinner with this couple. I was famished.. cos.. I din eat much during lunch.. and no idea why.. I had such good appetite. Ha ha ha..
Anyway..
The best week I had.. was definately from 2nd to 4th May.
I was in the BEST TRAINING CLASS ever..
The trainer, Ms Zaibun was GREAT!!!!!!
Serious..!!! It was full of energy and vibes!! So much laughter.. and I LEARNT SO MUCH!!!
Despite being 60 years old, she was definately not acting her age. She was so energetic, we wonder if she's only in her forties!
Here's a picture to show what I mean..
You see the lil' greenie dino? His name is Mr Ringgasamy Samyveloo.. everytime, he will have something for us at the end of the day. All made/ bought by Ms Zaibun herself.I miss those happy and fun-filled days.. Makes me feel like I wanna resign and join Zaibun @ NP. LOL.. She's a training consultant @ NP, training lecturers and staff. And in the Council of NYAA. She even wrote a book call Managing Oneself. I bought the book from her and have yet to finish, but so far.. after 3 chapters.. I must say.. it's so.. motivational.. and short and sharp to the point.
Anyway, if anyone is interested to engage her for her trainings, feel free to contact me for her details. :)
p/s: As you can see from the pic, I have a new hairstyle (again) with a new colour. And.. I have yet lost any weight (sadly). Ah well.. But I'm definately able to fit (somehow) into G2000 blu's stretchable pants. LOL.. Bought some new clothes from there.. cos they finally have XXL tees (loose enough to hide the bulges). I can forget about the blouses, cos... I probably need extra size for my 'erm-erm' front. HAIZ..
Whoever needs some fats to fill your boobs up, contact me.. I will be glad to donate. Perhaps once I lost the weight.. I can go a cup-size down.. YEAY~!!!
WAHAHAHAHAHA..
I must be crazy.. :P
Perhaps i can pray and pray every night to my fairy god-mother/sister/brother/father/grandmother/grandfather/whatever to transfer a bit of fats to all my friends.. to whichever parts of their bodies that they wish for (i.e: Boobs, Butts etc).
I suddenly got pimple outbreak.. and a hideous STUPID GIANT SCAR on my right cheek.. that no concealer can cover...
FAT GERL now still FAT.. worse still.. SCARRED!!!
Ar well.. life goes on... and I'm still lovable, kissable, huggable and absolutely.. CUTE. BLeah~
*thick-skinned* ;)

Long weekend~!
Took leave on last Friday and Monday.. initially thinking of going to Malaysia or somewhere with bf.. but... due to last min changes, we decided not to. Actually.. mainly because.. my stupid menses came. How to enjoy a holiday when you are having irritating menses!!
Even trip to Sentosa was cancelled, after we planned out where we wanna visit. Basically.. NOT MUCH PLACES THAT WE ARE INITERESTED.. so.. CANCELLED.. SIGH~
What did I do?
Simple.. we went strolling around everywhere.. Friday night.. to Vivo.. and to Orchard since.. some of the shopping centres were opened till midnight. I withheld my urge to shop since I've spent a hefty amount within these 2 months.. WAHAHAHAHA~
I'm proud of myself..
Then both of us started our RAINBOW SIX: LAS VEGAS mission again.. We completed the normal co-op mode with unlimited respawns.. so now.. we started our REALISTIC co-op mode with NO respawns.. meaning.. more intelligent enemies who can kill us with 1 shot even if they are 1km away.. ha ha ha
Ok.. too ambitious...
We ( I admit,... it's me only) died rather fast.. so... we decided to put it as 3 lives (respawns) only... then.. after being defeated numerous rounds.. we changed to unlimited respawns again. BUT.. it's still NOT EASY hor..
1 day 1 nite of rainbow six.. I think I suffered from post-rainbow six syndrome..
"Breach and Clear"
"Go silence"
"Go loud"
"I think I hear something.."
"Come out, come out wherever you are..."
"I can see you.."
"Come out, you bitches!"
If anyone play Rainbow Six: Las Vegas.. you will know what I mean.. LOL
Sunday morning.. I received a call from a rare guest..
I was like.. wondering why so good, call me.. actually hor.. someone made a mistake so need my help.. Bo bian.. since I was the 'connector' for those 2, I better help. Ha ha ha..
I guess, mr rare guest managed to rectify the problem..
These 2.. really owed me a treat.. no.. 2 treats liao.. When these 2 pumpkins gonna treat me ar?
Anyway.. I certainly have a damned good time relaxing during this long weekend, bf also..
So we decided to have such long weekends every 6 months or so..
Battery recharged also full liao.. tomorrow.. it's back to work.. er... I mean on course.. 3 days course at Suntec, IBMEC.. YEAH~!!!

Makeupholic!!
I officially announced myself as a Makeupholic!!
I just realised that I've basically almost changed my entire make up/ cosmetics to Bobbi Brown collection!!!!
It all started... with a blush (sand pink) that I bought from Robinsons Raffles City.
Nice rosy colour..
Then.. bf gave me $160 worth of TANGS voucher.. and I used almost 80% on Bobbi Brown makeup @ TANGS Vivocity by buying:
1) 2-way foundation (refillable with a white classy casing)
2) No Smudge Mascara
I spurgled on myself by buying again back at Robinsons Raffles City in March with Charles..
1) Sky shimmer eyeshadow
2) Corrector
3) Creamy Concealer kit
4) Travel concealer brush with 2 heads (concealer + powder brushes)
Then.. I spent AGAIN after going for my free lessons with Jerlyn @ Robinsons Raffles City:
1) Bone matt eyeshadow (eyeshadow base)
2) Heather matt eyeshadow
3) Eyeliner Gel
4) Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush
5) Blemish Concealer
FREE: Trial size lipstick in Rosy, Trial Size Vitamin-enriched Face Base and No Smudge Mascara (which this mascara I gave it to my buddy)
Recently at TANGS Vivocity, I spent $$$ on buying:
1) Peach Shimmer Eyeshadow
2) Blush in Pale Pink
I'm hopelessly a makeupholic!!!!!!
So after buying quite a hefty amount on their makeup... My reviews:
1) 2-way cake - Medium coverage for everyday office wear. If you have good skin, and lazy, it's good! Matt look at least more than half a day. Blotting still required since my face is a combi-skin type. How you swipe your foundation on your skin will affect the looks of your pores.
2) Corrector and Creamy Concealer Kit - SAVIOUR for all DARK EYE CIRCLES SUFFERERS!! Corrector basically covers and brightens your eye area, while concealer provides the coverage to reduce puffiness and the darkness. Set the eye area with the sheer powder, and VOILA! Your face instantly brightens, even if you only have 3 hours of sleep!
Remember not to use your foundation to go over your eye area again, else you will ruin everything!
By the way, do you know that you are not supposed to put foundation over your eyelids?? You will cause your eyeshadow to have creases/crack (for those with double eyelids) easily.
3) Eyeliner Gel + No Smudge Mascara - NO MORE PANDA EYES!! Both products guarantee no smudges at all!! (unless you got horribly oily eye area)
The eyeliner gel glides on smoothly over your lids. Non-cakey and don't flake when dry. All natural, soft look. Do not attempt to line your lower eyelids with the gel though, cos' the sebrum/ facial oil will tend to dissolve the gel. If you wanna line your lower lids, use pencil or eyeshadow.
The mascara brushes on smoothly too! Doesn't clump and stays on your lashes! Staying power is fantasic!
Both products stay on after 1 whole day outside.
4) Blemish Concealer - For the red, swollen pimples to camoflage! Because it's a slight medicated, it will help to heal your giant pimple, yet conceals effectively. After applying your foundation, apply using the concealer brush on the pimple, then using your finger, slowly tap/ blend. Then use Loose Powder to set the face.
5) Eyeshadows - Earthly colours for the everyday look. I like it! The Bone colour is more of a eyeshadow base before you put on other colours.
6) Blushes - I absolutely love Pale Pink, so pigmented, yet giving that soft natural flush on the cheeks. Many thanks to Jerlyn for teaching me the correct way to put on blusher without looking like a wayang. Sand Pink is of a duller colour but still lovely for that warm beach look.
I've tried the trial-size face base (viatmins enriched) as a makeup base. My 2-way cake was able to glide on evenly on my face. Skin looks dewy, soft and smooth (except for a few large unsightly pores). Makeup stays on longer and minimum touchup is required. Not forgetting, the smell is so delicious!
I learnt a few tricks from the Bobbi Brown makeup artists on eye-makeup, especially for people with single eyelids like me.
My challenge is how to make my eyes look bigger (or open them up), so that I dun give a 'forever-sleepy' look. They gave me a few good tips.. so.. if anyone is interested to know, or if you have any good techniques, do leave a comment! No fake eyelashes/ big-eye contact lenses is required! :P
I'm officially also the makeup guru of the department liao.. LOL~

Don't ask me when's my turn.. even though me and my dear already been together since late 2002. We already like 老夫老妻, ha ha ha。Marriage is just like graduating from your degree of 'single'logy, embarking another journey of getting a doctorate aka kids.
I'm wondering if when we are married, will we still behave like a bunch of teengers? LOL~ fight over playing wat games to play on our xbox360, pondering what new games to buy, tearing open the new game like small kids with new toys..

Promotion Dinner
I just returned from my promotion dinner by my company. It's held at Hilton Hotel..
When we recieved the email from our HR, we were waiting exciting for this day. Our first time being invited and congratulated on stage by our CE leh.. not forgetting being given small little souvenir which is actually 2 pens (1 blue and black) with our company logo.
I like the sleek black box.. cos' it's also printed "Congratulations on your promotion".
LOL~
We were lucky enough to sit with our colleagues from SECDC cos we already knew each other quite well.
While waiting for the dinner to start, we were chatting and making silly jokes. We even asked how come there was no performance or entertainment during the dinner, then answered on our own with the following reply "Cos' we already can entertain ourselves the whole night".
And it's true lor.. we had so much laughter.. which I think we are probably the noisiest table there. Ha ha ha..
Anyway, our dinner was a 4 course dinner and it's FABULOUS!!
The appetiser is nice, the.. main course..
I asked for grilled chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms and cheese.. the chicken is SO SO SO TENDER.. So yummy!!!
The dessert is apple pie with vanilla ice-cream.. so SWEET and Sinful~!!!
We also had a glass of wine.. being the drunkards that we are.. ha ha ha..
On the whole, it's a really nice memory to remember.. hopefully.. every year (or other year) I get to go for such dinners.. It really felt good being recognised for our efforts and getting promotion..
Oh.. did i forget to mention that I wore my new contact lenses to the dinner?
Yes!! I finally get a chance to wear my contact lenses again after 3 whole years!!!
I had a trial pair by my optician last week, and my eyes didn't itch, sore or anything!!!! So he allowed me to get those daily disposables which I will only wear if I have events or dinners to attend. I'll still stick to my glasses for work, since it's less stressful for my eyes.
So happy!!! except for the fact that my colleagues joked at me after I changed out from my glasses to the contact lenses.
He said "SHANNON, WHERE ARE YOUR EYES??!!"
ArGHhh... sigh.. problem with small single-lid eyes..
JERLYN~!! Where are you??!!!
** Jerlyn is the makeup artist at Bobbi Brown who taught me for my 2 lessons-shaping of eye brows and eye makeup. She also taught me how to do smoky eyes and the big eye makeup trick ( which I din do for today's dinner).
Anyone interested in Bobbi Brown makeup, you can look for either Charles or Jerlyn at the Raffles City Robinson branch. Super nice and friendly people.. so much better than those at M.A.C.

Happy Updates~!
Update updates updates~!!
Hasn't been updating for a very long time..
Let's see.. where shall we start?
1) WE FINALLY BOUGHT OUR XBOX360!!!
finally.. after talking about it for so long..
I finally.. bear to part $700 from my bonus to buy it.. DEFINATELY money well-spent!
Although we bought quite a few new games.. even before we complete any one.. Our habit is to finish/ complete 1 game before buying another. Mind you.. our speed of playing, we can complete 1 game probably within 2 days (weekends, burning our sleep). Yes.. we are that MAD~!
So.. enjoying every single second of our Xbox360, we now have (in less than 2 weeks) the following games:
- N3 (Completed Inphhy's profile, now playing Asphaar)
- PGR3
(free with the package that we bought)
- Gears of War (because of the suspense and excitement at times, my heart was thumping hard)
Newest addition: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Las Vegas
It's so REAL.. that.. I was totally an idiot at this game.. BUT.. I declare myself as a pretty good 军师 when bf was playing it in 1-player.
There are certain types of games which I can't play, especially those types like counter strike where you usually see the hands only (i.e: Halo 2). I will get giddy.. then.. nauseous.. then.. major big headache.. and get sick. So.. too bad.. I can't play for too long, if not, I probably won't even buy.
There are games which can make me doze off faster than sleeping pills. Ask my bf.. he will sure shake his head and tell you. The fastest way to make me sleep.. Just put Fifa, NBA Live etc to play... I will just doze off beside you. Don''t ask me why.. I have no idea..
2) Promotion
I'm a very happy gal.. My letter of promotion came with my PB letter..
I'm now a SWDA Grade 5 officer.. Hee Hee.. Hard work paid off..
3) PB
Another happy thing.. got good PB.. and I've treat those who have helped me with a good meal/ food to show my appreciation. BF is the happiest.. cos he got his precious 360 even though he requested for his 1 month-bonus from me.. (-.-)
4) Salary Increment
There was a 1-time adjustment to my salary (for Diploma grads), that was enough to make me delighted and gleeing with joy.. BUT to make things even better, I've also got the following:
- Merit + Promotion increment
Should see my face when my Director asked me to open up my letter..
Can't stop SMILING.. I've never thought I could get this much.. I probably know that I'm at the low end of the range, but I'm happy..
This means that I can now SAVE more money.. and..er... probably increase my shopping budget another $50 higher? If my mum knows, she will ask for a pay-rise from me.. ArgHh.. but.. the priority goes to saving for my big day, which.. I have no idea when. anyway, feels good to have a good sum of $$ in your bank a/c.
5) Shopping SPREE
Went for spree.. to reward myself..
Attended my 2nd facial session at Bonafides, Attended my free makeup lessons at Bobbi Brown (2 out of 6 lessons), Trimmed and shaped my eyebrows nicely by the BB Makeup artist, bought a few new makeup items, 1 blouse + pants from DP.
Supposed to treat my parents to a good meal.. but.. shall let that wait until my new pay comes in. Ha ha ha..
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now.. I'm deciding whether to get, or not to apply for a credit card. A lot of people said, it's like sending myself to hell.. cos if I can't stop, i will probably end up with a lot of DEBTS. I reckon I will become like that..I never like to be in debt.. I'm a stingy pig, who will try to keep as much $$ as possible.
I'm thinking of convenience.. during emergencies.. when you do not have so much cash.. or when you need to purchase something and do not have so much cash/ not willing to depart so much cash at 1 time..
Dining at restaurants, shopping etc.. I still have my debit card and I've controlled my expenses well so far.
So.. should I? or should I not?
Then if I should.. which one is better to get? UOB or Citibank? (_ _??)
Hasn't been updating for a very long time..
Let's see.. where shall we start?
1) WE FINALLY BOUGHT OUR XBOX360!!!
finally.. after talking about it for so long..
I finally.. bear to part $700 from my bonus to buy it.. DEFINATELY money well-spent!
Although we bought quite a few new games.. even before we complete any one.. Our habit is to finish/ complete 1 game before buying another. Mind you.. our speed of playing, we can complete 1 game probably within 2 days (weekends, burning our sleep). Yes.. we are that MAD~!
So.. enjoying every single second of our Xbox360, we now have (in less than 2 weeks) the following games:
- N3 (Completed Inphhy's profile, now playing Asphaar)
- PGR3
(free with the package that we bought)
- Gears of War (because of the suspense and excitement at times, my heart was thumping hard)
Newest addition: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Las Vegas
It's so REAL.. that.. I was totally an idiot at this game.. BUT.. I declare myself as a pretty good 军师 when bf was playing it in 1-player.
There are certain types of games which I can't play, especially those types like counter strike where you usually see the hands only (i.e: Halo 2). I will get giddy.. then.. nauseous.. then.. major big headache.. and get sick. So.. too bad.. I can't play for too long, if not, I probably won't even buy.

Stressed~!
Earlier on, bf called me.. told me he just knocked off from work.
Can hear from his voice that he's stressed and frustrated.
He's overwhelmed with so many ad-hoc projects and there's a lack of manpower (not forgetting quality manpower).
Perhaps you are putting too much pressure on yourself to make every project a success cos' you are a perfectionist?
It makes me sad when you told me you couldn't sleep at night and woke up in the middle of the night.
When there's a chance for you to take a couple of days' leave, let's go and have a good break. I also need a good one.. We'll just stay at home, play our xbox, drive around for good food, shop till we drop or we can go to all the places of interest and have fun, taking pictures.. Let's go Sentosa and take the sky-train, play the luge.. Ok?

Awaiting the news..
In a few days time..
We will be receiving news on our Performance Bonus.. and our SWDA grades (similarly equivalent to PA's PAL system).
I'm waiting anxiously for the letter..
There's a high chance that our Director of the department might wanna give us our letter by hand and to see each and every one of us.
I dunno whether it's good or bad.. though I was thinking, if my PB was pathetic, can I look into his eyes and say..
"EH.. HOW COME SO LITTLE ONLY? CAN GIVE MORE OR NOT?"
WAHAHAHAHAHAHA~
Of cos, who dare to do it anyway?
IF.. and IF.. my bonus is REALLY GOOD.. I shall...
TRY to give 0.5 months to my parents.. and.. a small minimal amount to buy a XBOX 360..
Ya.. I know I've been talking about getting it for dunno-how-many-donkey-months.. but if.. there's a CHANCE.. we will buy it you know.. :P
Be patient...

WDA Dinner & Dance 2007
Just returned not long ago from our D&D..
They held it at Grant Hyatt Hotel's Grand Ballroom.
It's a fabulously magnificent place, so elegant, so beautiful.. The best part is.. I've finally seen a hotel whose waitresses knew how to serve fish (yes.. bones removed and fish meat remained intact nicely on the serving plates) and they served... OR-NI*!!!!!
*Or-ni = yam paste.. sinfully sweet and fattening..
Took many pics for my colleagues (which's the purpose of me buying one, cos' I luv taking pics) and I took a couples of shots with my colleagues..
As usual.. I shall only present the 'presentable' piggy side of me.. LOL. Bo bian lar..
Please be warned.. all pixs are never photoshopped.. meaning.. you can see all my giant pores, old acne ('battle') scars, small beady eyes, oily face that can literally reflect someone else's face and the same o' FAT side of me.. HA HA HA..
Another pic taken with the host, Mr Wilbert Delerose Ang and his 'uncle', Mr Happy Tan..
As you can see... it's kinda..er.. dark.. I've got no photoshop in my bro's new computer so hor.. cannot adjust.. :P
Ok.. that's all for today...

On another note..
I'm having a swollen right eye..
No idea how it came about.. started last night..
I dun remember spying or peeping or surfing obscene porn sites..
Must be too heaty liao..
It was rather painful when I tried to blink each time and I had to sacrifice myself by not wearing makeup to work today.. Yes.. that's my first time in 1.5 years of working here..
Nevertheless, I hope my eyes recover by tomorrow.. cos' tmr it's my 1st WDA D&D that I'm attending.. and I BETTER LOOK 'PRESENTABLE'!!!! GrRRr...
!$&^#$%&^%$#
Haiz.. Looking at the pics that my colleagues took for me today at our CNY Gathering in office with my other HQ colleagues.. it's either their camera techniques were not good enuff or I really look god-damned fat and ugly (I lost my cute piggy looks) or I'm just simply looked HORRIBLE!
How come ar.. I took the rest of my colleagues until so nice.. yet mine.. TAKEN UNTIL LIKE SHIT LOR..
Sigh.. I must have lost my cute piggy looks..
Lucky, at least there's 1 pix that managed to look 'cute' enough.. *自我安慰*

Busy..
Yes.. I'm gonna be busy for the next few..er..days.. weeks..
Other than work (which has always been keeping me busy)..
I'm busy with training.. training my elves, dwarves, and men... from..
MIDDLE-EARTH!!
That's right.. I've finished my EASY level of Battle for Middle-Earth 2.
Now.. I'm going to NORMAL level..
Ok lar.. I know I sound rather like shit.. but.. what to do.. you need to familarise with the game wat.
SO.. I shall engrossed myself in this game.. even though... I've yet to finish The Longest Journey 2. *cos' I'm stuck in it.. SIGHZ....*
I think.. I'm more of a Strategist than a Fighter/ Puzzle Solver (perhaps better as a solver when I see others playing games instead). I did pretty good whenever I played Command & Conquer last time.. Now.. I'm still as good. :P
Bf just told me to save a tiny weeny part of my upcoming performance bonus (if I have) for buying Xbox 360. We've ran out of Xbox games to buy.. Now to think we have to buy old games.. i.e: Marvel Action heros Alliances or something.. to pass our time when I'm at his house.
So.. I SHALL PRAY FOR MORE BONUS.. I WANT MY XBOX 360!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and also the expansion pack for Battle for MIddle-Earth pls. WAHAHAHA~

Recaps..
Ok..
Once again, I failed to update this blog regularly..
So.. a brief run-through of my daily or otherwise other happenings..
---------------------
VALENTINE'S DAY SURPRISE
Yesh.. I had a very pleasant surprise (and unexpected one too, having the feeling that both of us now can read each others' thoughts) from my bf for Valentine's Day.
We celebrate our Valentine's Day (14 Feb) at a kopi-tiam (in Bt Batok East) eating Hokkien Prawn Mee and Or-Jian cos' we din wanna squeeze with the couples in town (then of cos' we found that kopi-tiams are crowded too.. with families all eating their dinners). So.. that was what I thought..
BUT.. in actual fact, my thoughtful bf had actually made plans the next day. He told me that he had booked tickets for 2 for the movie 'Ghost Rider' cos' since it's a preview, so better to book tickets first. I waited for him outside UOB and he passed me a free sample for Face Shop, saying someone gave it to him.
Bf also brought along with him the remaining TANGs vouchers, so.. I decided to buy a lip gloss from Clinque after seeing the reviews on a magazine and a belt (to match my CNY clothings). Then we proceed to GV after having a quick dinner at BK.
While we happily went to Vivo for the movie, going up the escalator... he asked me to check which cinema hall.
Without much thoughts, I just took the 'tickets' from him. There.. I was really.. extra.. super.. very... extremely.. touched. He had actually made bookings for 2 for GOLD CLASS!!!!!
I was speechless.. and had almost wanted to start tearing. I've always wanted to watch a movie in Gold Class, but becos' it's not cheap (1 tix at $25), I never really thought he will actually bring me to see a movie in Gold Class. And maybe becos' he's tired of hearing me saying I wanna go watch at Gold Class.. Ha ha ha ha..
Anyway....
The tickets.. are under a Valentine's day special, costing at $44 each, it comes with a giant popcorn, giant nachos, with 2 soft drinks OR giant popcorn with 2 glasses of champagne. Knowing that he doesn't drink anything alcohol if he drives, we ordered 2 soft drinks. The service was of cos excellent.
AND... in addition, we have 2 COMPLIMENTARY SPA VOUCHERS! Bf was saying that it was worth the money since the spa packages costed more than $200. And he felt that girls should go for facials (or at least once a month) and he wondered how come he never see me going for one.. EXPENSIVE MAH..
anyway.. GOLD CLASS.. SUCH A COMFY PLACE TO WATCH MOVIES..
Reclining chair.. so comfortable that you can sleep in it (i think someone slept during the movie).. FLUFFY BLANKETS!! YES.. I FELT LIKE BRINGING IT HOME!!!
2 hours movie.. IT'S THE MOST MEMORABLE ONE I HAD..
Thank you dear.. and sorry for making you spent so much money also. But I really enjoyed that night..
FACIAL..
The complimentary spa.. I went for it at Bonafides..
Had my 1st facial after 10 over years of not going for one.. it was GOOD.. I 'upgraded' to a better facial session anyway..
And signed up for a special package given to me by the spa manager..
Will be going for my next appointment in March with my buddy to let her use the voucher (well.. maybe as a birthday present) :P
I definately need to do something about the damned acne scars which just doesn't wanna go away.. Hopefully.. this facial works.
ADMIRALTY WEST PRISON..
I went to PRISON again.. for a meaningful event for the pre-release inmates..
Everytime I particupated in such an event, it made me feel like joining the special volunteer groups to help these people. They are actually nice fellas who made a stupid mistake that ruin their whole lives. One of the ex-offenders who participated in last March's Job Fair @ AWP (organised by us) actually cried when interviewed. He said that without the help from CARE Network, SCORE and NWCDC, he wouldn't have this chance to start anew. From a technician of a salary of $1000+, in less than a year his salary was increased to around $1200.
I was really touched when I heard him saying that.
This is something about my job which I love..
The number of lives that we have helped to change in our course of work.. can never be felt in other kinds of jobs..

Perfume.. Story of a Murderer (or rather.. a weirdo director)
A few weeks ago..
Bf and I went to watch a movie in Vivocity.. we are mountain tortoises who never get a chance to watch movie at the new cinema.
Anyway.. in the end, after going through the limited choices of bad movies, boring movies... we picked this movie for our midnight movie crave - Perfume.. Story of a Murderer.
We went to Aljunied there to eat my fave. Ho Kee Pau.. before heading back to Vivo.
The place.. was really comfy.. huge leg space.. and.. nice comfortable sleep.. which made me feel like sleeping..
Anyway.. the show started.. started in a weird way..
Scene set in the 17/ 18th century in Old Paris.. we actually tot it's a modern kinda show..
Woman gave birth (with ease) to a baby boy and threw him into a smelly heap of fish gills etc (cos they are in a fish market) becos' I think she think he's a still-born. Suddenly.. the baby started sniffing the air.. and in 1 scene, when another woman tried touching the baby, the baby actually GRABBED the woman's finger and pulled towards his NOSE to SMELL!!
How creepy that is!
Anyway.. the mum was hanged after that (for suspecting to kill her own son) (-.-|||)
So the baby sent to a orphanage and was almost killed by some evil kids.
He then grew up.. smelling every single thing he can get his hands on.. even a rotting dead rat..
Eventually he was sold to a tannery.. and worked there.. which he later on, again caused the death of the tannery owner.
Before that, he was attracted to a perfume shop.. becos' the many new scents..
He saw a young lady.. carrying a basket of plums i think.. and my guess is, he like the smell.. and the girl was probably smelling like one.
He followed her.. and she suspected someone was following her.. when she stopped, that weird guy was already behind her.. smelling her just, millimetres away from her skin, smelling her.. She was shocked to see a guy smelling her like a dog to poo. (lol)
She ran away, and this guy easily caught up with her cos' his sense of smell was even better than a dog!
Anyway.. he managed to get behind her and smell her again.. this time, she couldn't detect him at all.. I guess it's becos' she was tired.. and he, doesn't have any smell on him.
Do you know that everyone has his/her own personal body scent? This guy, probably doesn't have one..
Anyway, when the girl turned around and saw him, he panicked, and accidentally killed her.
BUT.. he literally got so engrossed into smelling her, just torn her clothes off her dead corpse and started smelling her every inch of bare skin. I'm really surprised that the actress can tahan letting a stranger smell her.. Ha ha ha..
So.. story goes on.. narrating that the guy wanted to perserve smell.. so he went to learn from a perfume maker.. the differnt ways to perserve smells.. of GIRLS (secretly lar)
And.. then he set foot into the paris main city to learn from the grand masters.. and.. he learn that special technique and off he goes on a killing spree.. killing almost 12 girls which he liked their scents..
After gathering the last 13th girl.. he combined all the 'perfume' and created the ultimate heavenly one..
Of cos.. all crime-doers dont go scot-free.. he was caught by the 13th girl's father.
The guy wanted to test the potency of his newly-made perfume and dab a bit on himself..
Unfortunately.. the perfume.. was too heavenly till..
everyone at the square waiting to see the pervert perfume guy beheaded.. all go into a sex frenzy.. started stripping.. and er.. you-know-wat..
It was like a mass orgy.. everyone at the cinema was..er.. giggling away.. me and bf was like.. "weird movie..."
and so.. perfume guy managed to escape unharmed..
But eventually.. for i-dunno-what-reason, he poured the entire contents on himself and the people near him.. for.. er.. too much..er.. love(?), devoured him.. leaving only his clothes behind.
And.. The end..
STUPID RIGHT??? I know it's a R21 show (i tot it's just some nudity and gory scene of probably being able to see bodies chopped up), but this is..SUPER WEIRD AND STUPID LOR..
Seriously.. unless you got money to spare.. and need to see some unshaved armpits/ shaved pu**ies (contradicting of 17/18th century women to shave their pu**ies instead of their armpits).. perhaps you can watch that.

Anyway, when the girl turned around and saw him, he panicked, and accidentally killed her.
BUT.. he literally got so engrossed into smelling her, just torn her clothes off her dead corpse and started smelling her every inch of bare skin. I'm really surprised that the actress can tahan letting a stranger smell her.. Ha ha ha..
So.. story goes on.. narrating that the guy wanted to perserve smell.. so he went to learn from a perfume maker.. the differnt ways to perserve smells.. of GIRLS (secretly lar)
And.. then he set foot into the paris main city to learn from the grand masters.. and.. he learn that special technique and off he goes on a killing spree.. killing almost 12 girls which he liked their scents..
After gathering the last 13th girl.. he combined all the 'perfume' and created the ultimate heavenly one..
Of cos.. all crime-doers dont go scot-free.. he was caught by the 13th girl's father.
The guy wanted to test the potency of his newly-made perfume and dab a bit on himself..
Unfortunately.. the perfume.. was too heavenly till..
everyone at the square waiting to see the pervert perfume guy beheaded.. all go into a sex frenzy.. started stripping.. and er.. you-know-wat..
It was like a mass orgy.. everyone at the cinema was..er.. giggling away.. me and bf was like.. "weird movie..."
and so.. perfume guy managed to escape unharmed..
But eventually.. for i-dunno-what-reason, he poured the entire contents on himself and the people near him.. for.. er.. too much..er.. love(?), devoured him.. leaving only his clothes behind.
And.. The end..
STUPID RIGHT??? I know it's a R21 show (i tot it's just some nudity and gory scene of probably being able to see bodies chopped up), but this is..SUPER WEIRD AND STUPID LOR..
Seriously.. unless you got money to spare.. and need to see some unshaved armpits/ shaved pu**ies (contradicting of 17/18th century women to shave their pu**ies instead of their armpits).. perhaps you can watch that.
Valentine's Day..
First thing, I wanna say..
I'm glad that 2 of my friends have decided to pair up after months of friendship.. A compatible pair - even though height might seem to be an issue.. but what Pinky always says.. Everyone is of the same 'height' in bed. LOL~
But personality-wise, I guess 2 of them are like best of friends, able to share their thoughts, feelings and everything with each other. That's the most important part in a relationship. Who would wanna have a relationship just becos' he/she is handsome/ pretty, rich/ poor, or..worse.. lust?
As for me..
We din spend V-day in some fancy restaurants or have a bouquet of roses in my hands..
In fact.. knowing from past experiences that restaurants will be fully packed, cinemas will be swarming with young couples (girls in mini skirts, guys with big bags) and you thought you are sitting in a rocking/ massaging chair with a deja-vu of hearing a certain weird 'sound' from some weird-RA movies, deserted carparks suddenly full-house with newspapers sticking on their windows (especially after 9pm), hotels having good business, couples aiming for November and December babies..
We decided to go to a normal coffeeshop @ Bukit Batok for a plate of good O' fried hokkien prawn noodles and Or-Jian. Then again, we realised that even the coffeeshops are packed.. with families dining out. :P
Boring you say?
Haha.. We are a pair of clever piggies.. that we have already planned to spend a 'ROMANTIC' night-out @ Vivocity watching GHOST-RIDER! HA HA HA HA.. then of cos, I'm also planning to probably spend the remaining $60 vouchers on either a Stella Macartney Perfume OR MORE MAKE-UP!!! All thanks to today's edition of Urban, where they start talking about the different make-up for CNY. I glued my eyes on this Clinque Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine. My sinister plan is to let anyone who sees me during CNY to focus more on my FACE than my blubbering layers of fats.. then of cos, my bf will probably suggest to draw a face of a wayang to attract more attention. I can foresee myself spending a day or 2 @ Hougang Chalet. WAHAHAHA..
In whichever case, both of us are planning to 'earn' more ang paos this year, even though I hate the fact that I'll be bombarded with STUPID questions and comments like:
1) WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED? YOUR WHO-XX-WHO IS GETTING MARRIED END OF THIS YEAR LEH..
2) WHEN ARE YOU SLIMMING DOWN? BETTER LOSE WEIGHT NOW LAR.. IF NOT WEDDING DAY WILL LOOK UGLY
3) WHERE ARE YOU WORKING NOW? *pauses to think of further stupid history questions* STILL STUDYING? (2nd qn) OR STILL WORKING IN THAT WHAT-AGENCY AT TANJONG PAGAR? *note: since last year I've already told them I'm working in NWCDC.. sighs~*
4) AIYOH.. YOU GAIN WEIGHT IZZIT? *Note: $%%!@#%^@*^G*
5) HOW MUCH YOU EARNING NOW? MY XX-WHO-XX IS EARNING AROUND 2.5K NOW LEH.. YOU LEH? GOVERNMENT JOBS MUST BE PAYING VERY HIGH HOR?
and many more which I shall decline to put up any further..
Therefore, I've also thought of some good answers which I'm intending to use.. I realise that for the past years, I'm probably deemed to them as someone timid and introvert.. which in actual fact, I'm just giving my parents face for not being direct, straightforward and with a wicked tongue.
My answers, for everyone to 参考。
1) MARRIED? SEE HOW LAR.. I'M NOT THAT DESPERATE YET.
*Note: this indirectly telling them that their xx-who-xx are so desperate that they wanna quickly get married before they are either be left on the shelves or their rich-probably-stupid partners will set eyes for another*
2) SLIM DOWN? FOR WAT? YOU ALSO HAVEN'T SLIMMED DOWN LEH.. FURTHERMORE, I DON'T WANT THOSE SLIMMING CENTRE TO CON ME OF MY MONEY. BEAUTIFUL DOESN'T NECESSARY MEANS I MUST BE SLIM HOR.
3) I'M NOW A TEAM LEAD OF A TEAM OF 6 C****R C*********S IN NWCDC UNDER W*A. NOT FORGETTING THAT I WAS ALSO A TEAM LEAD IN MY PREVIOUS JOB IN TANJONG PAGAR.
*Note: This is to protect myself from any nuisiance enquiries, and to hightlight to any arrogant relatives that I'm capable of getting promotions with my hard-work and diligence therefore, do not try to 'arouse' my anger*
4) YES, I'VE GAINED WEIGHT.. BECOS' MY BF TREATS ME EXTREMELY WELL AND FEEDS ME WITH LOTSA TENDER LOVING CARE, TILL I CAN'T HELP IT BUT TO GAIN WEIGHT.
*Note: My motive.. to make them speechless.. and if they are to ask me Question 1, just answer using answer 1. That will shut them up any further*
5) THEY EARN SO MUCH AR? GOOD LOR.. I ONLY EARN 'THANK-YOUs" AND 'RESPECT' FOR WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY SERVICE LINE, HELPING THE NEEDY/ UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE OF SINGAPORE.
*Note: It may be seem as a glamourous job, but certainly change many people's lives through our efforts*
There.. you have it..
These answers are carefully 'crafted' to avoid any remarks from relatives that you have no 家教, and indirectly giving them sarcastic answers. Heh heh.. *grins*
My note: If you are offended by anything that I've said, or think that I think highly (rather, fatly.. WAHAHAHA) of myself.. go ahead, like as if I care..
This is my life.. and this is how I live it!
I think a famous blogger probably amde this comment before (i think).. "Don't like what I've blog, then don't read my blog lor.. "
I love that comment..:P

Preparing for shifting..
I'm demoted...
From 6th floor, demoted until 1st floor..
Aiyah.. I'm shifting down to my level 1 service centre office lar.. Consolidation as they called it.
Now in the midst of packing up my barang barang.. and I realised.. I actually had 3 boxes full of stuffs.. files, stationeries, personal stuffs.. Jeez..
Supposed to be moving today, but it was postponed due to some cock-up of the 'computer-to-holder' assets issue.. (-.-)
The best part of all..
I'm not in office for 3 whole days next week.
Monday - Eldercare Leave, Tues - On course, Weds - Admitting to Changi Prison.. for training purposes.. Ha ha ha..
So.. if the shifting starting any time during that 3 days.. at least I have 90% of my stuffs packed and ready to go, courtesy of my colleagues who will shift for moi~ :P
Good thing about workinga t level 1, no need to arm and disarm the security system.. thus, can come as early as possible or work as late as possible..
Which... I intend not to do so. New year resolution: To reduce the number of days that I work OT in office..
Anyway, last Wednesday, I went to attend Fuchun CC's Toastmasters Club which my colleague has arranged for us. I've always wanted to see how Toastmasters Club is like.. and.. my wish came true.
It's interesting.. and all of us get to present a table-topic (any topic given by one of the members) and start talking for 1 min (min.). Secretly.. one of them was counting the number of la,leh, erm, hmm.. okay.. alright etc.. As you might guess it, mine was.. quite a big number. Ha ha ha. Not exactly a public speaker yet.. :P
I'm still wondering if I should join.. my busy work.. work-life imbalance.. hiaks hiaks.. then again, bf also work ot (at least not as late as me for the time being)..
Hmm..
Well.. tmr's Saturday and I intend NOT to go office.. I'm gonna relax and slack.. and enjoy my weekend..
Earlier on, bf asked me what Valentines' Day present I want; either a shopping spree (with a budget given) or he will just buy something for me.
Shopping Spree of $100 vs Mystery Present with an element of Surprise..
That spree is tempting.. imagine, I can buy M.A.C makeup, bags, shoes, clothes (hopefully I can squeeze as many thing as possible).. But considering his thin, skinny wallet.. hmm.. that was not a very good thought.
Mystery present.. I like mysteries.. I like surprises..
Although I can somehow read his mind (or see through the present - perhaps we have very good telepathy), it's still a nice gesture.. Just like the executive planner that he bought for me. Din expect him to get it for me but he saw it and bought it (even though it's rather ex), knowing that I've been searching high and low for it. So now.. I bring it with me everyday.
Perhaps mystery present is a good choice.. Who knows mystery present can get a '1-carrot' diamond.. why not?! LOL
Talk about 1-carrot diamond.. While walking past some jewellary shop some time back, I told bf that some of the diamond rings, necklaces blah blah are nice (having wishful thinking that he will buy for me).. He replied saying, "NO PROBLEM!". I was like, 'Sure or not?'.
He then said...
"just give them 1 CARROT lor.. then u can get your 1-CARROT ring.. "
(--)
No comments..
The things he said to me at times.. makes me wonder... how many crows are flying above my head already..
Hmm.. before I forget..
To the special 2 friends of mine,
远在天边，近在眼前。
相信命运，别在迟疑。
随心所欲，毫不犹豫。
To the Anonymous who left the comments in my previous entry, my bf, Moon, wanna know who you are cos' he's very curious as well and another thing is, he hopes to get in touch with his old friends (from back then i.e: Levi's), maybe can also meet up for kopi or something.
Doesn't matter if you are a guy, gal, ex-gf or who-ever, he hopes to keep in touch. Don't worry, I won't go with a parang behind me, if say, you are the ex-gf. Ha ha ha..
Becos' .... if you are not the ex, then I won't be the current, having the best bf in the whole world. :D
Dear, if you are seeing this, I LOVE YOU~! ;)
