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.

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
