We've only just begun...

Hooked on shopping

Saturday, March 31 12:17 AM

I love.love.love this Little Miss shirt.

So does Clara loves.loves.loves. her star print top, althought you can't really tell they are stars.

But I didn't get mine cos it was too small, and she didn't get hers cos it was 53 bucks.

Clara works the pout @ Topshop.

The phone rang, I had to answer it.

Clothes fitting @ Fox, and someone opened our curtain by mistake.

Hahaa!

We just shopped and shopped and shopped.

And couldn't stop.

Damage done.

Don't ask.

Earthquake

Tuesday, March 27 9:30 PM

Whenever Boyfriend & I go Swensen's for desserts and end up not knowing what to have, we'll order a regular Earthquake.

Since according to him, if we're gonna get a Vanilla Nut Icecap (me!) and a Frosted Chocolate Malt (him!)... we might as well order 8 scoops of those sinfuls, and make ourselves happier.

So fine.

Somehow or another, he scored distinctions in convincing me-again.

Our 8 flavours would be along the lines of : Cookies & Cream, Ol Fashioned Vanilla, Frosted Chocolate Malt and Yam (me!) while he sticks to tried and tested safe ones like Strawberry, Sticky Chewy Chocolate, Yummy Raisin and Mango.
Cherries are mine, and whipped cream is his.

And have I mentioned? He hates YAM.

Not one single bit of love.

And it so happens, when our dessert was served...

My Yam is wedged between his Sticky Chewy Chocolate and Strawberry, and probably pissed the ass off him.
Cos it infected his flavours. Hahaha!

He insisted that the person had zero professional ethics putting Yam with Chocolate and Strawberry.
Hahaha

And it doesn't help when I keep nicking on his Mango, mistaking it for my Ol fashioned vanilla.
Haha
(Trust me, the colours are so similar)

But the funniest was when I asked, " SO! Tell me, what's your favourite flavour?"

With that, he looks at me deadpans: " Gotta be Sticky Chewy Yam and Yamberry"

.
.
.
.
.

I nearly dropped dead laughing.

God, I heart this boy to bits.

Sunday, March 25 8:55 PM

The past week had been long (and eventful- estactic/thrilled/happy/good-kinda-eventful).

But I shall spare you guys the details and thrill on the blog itself.
Haha..

And before anything else, here's a hugeeeee shoutout to my baby brother. He finally turns 17!

HAPPPPPPY BIRTHDAY KIDDO!

Got him a Crumpler, he realllly likes it! :)
We had dinner @ Fish & Co's earlier. (Luckily we interceded Mum's JUMBO)
After which, they went on to catch Mr Bean's Holiday (which I already did last week), while I lugged the Mango Tropicana home for later cake cuttting.

Anyway, It feels like I've been having a lot of cake this week.

Speaking of Bean, I think it's just me but I never seem to outgrow Rowan Atkinson's alter ego - Mr Bean.
I can watch his old episodes on Disney Channel overandoverandoverandoverandover again.
Okay, you get my point.
Even that day in the cinema, I think I drowned the whole cinema in my laughters (and tears).
Boyfriend probably thought I lost it. But Hey! I caught him laughing his ass off too!

Hahaha, and TMNT was yesterday's. 3 popcorns!

Prior to this, I didn't know it's gonna be animation, I even bet with Clara it would be real humans clad in turtle shells.
Hahahaa. Guess she'd know better, it's her forte.
Animations! Not turtles. (unless we're talking about the edible form.)
-shudder

And Jane, hurry get your copy of Shopaholic & Baby!
I finished it in 3 days flat. And even that's too long for a Sophie Kinsella.
It's so drop dead funny, a couple of times I laughed out to myself during lunch/on the bus/in Boyfriend's car, reading the book or just pure thinking about it.

Meanwhile, Mum keeps b-u-g-g-i-n-g me on my 21st birthday celebration, which I have totally no clue.
Honestly, the whole turning 21 is so overated.
Plus lots of people I love aren't gonna be around this year like Ally and Jane.
Seriously, a chalet is plain boring.
Unless we're talking about an all expense paid chalet on one of the many caribbeans resorts.
Ahhhh, then maybeeeeeeeee.
But if all else fails, I'll just use the chalet idea as a backup plan.
If not, we can always KIV till my 23rd.
23rd is actually more like significant for me.

I've always pictured my 23rd Birthday with my Engagement Party together. Complete with free flow Vodka, giant disco ball, and just the few people who mean to me.
Not some classmates who spent one term with you in poly or schoolmates in Secondary school you barely recall her last name.
Hahaaa
And then 2 years later, at my 25th birthday.. I'll be slightly fatter but glowing with more radiance.
Cos by then I've got a little handsome tot. And the same ol' people will again be celebrating for both of us, this time.
Presuming we share the same birthday. (OH! How cute!)
Except that the baby will most probably get a larger share of the gifts.
(Simply because baby things are so easy to get)
I told my mum once when we were shopping @ Robinsons' kids department.
'Look, $100 bucks can get a kid 2 sets of clothes. WITH matching UNDIES and HAIRBAND.'

Oh well, before I drift too far in NEVERland, I better stop fantasizing about the life that is so not gonna happen.
Well, at least not until a couple years later.

And more importantly, Ugly Betty is on!

Ugly in the new Chic, girls.

Feelin good!

Tuesday, March 20 9:31 PM

I might have some REALLLLLY fab news to share by end of this week!

I'm so bloody EXCITED!

And I'm finishing my Shopaholic already, can Sophie hurry with the sequel?

Indulgence!

Sunday, March 18 11:40 PM

MY LATEST INDULGENCE!

I'm already eyeing a tote bag to add to the collection!

I LOVE.

1:53 AM

Yay.

I got a new Lacoste Bag today, meant for May when I begin classes!

Simple things like that make my weekend.

Took me very long before I decided on green!
I think green is very Lacoste-ish.
Teehee

My Favourite Croc!

That's not all.

I finally laid my hands on Shopaholic & Baby.

Will be kept busy for at least a week plus now.

Can't wait to continue on where I left of, thus this entry shall be short.

Oh, and I'd advise you against watching The Messengers!

HAPPY BDAY MOM!

Wednesday, March 14 11:30 PM

It's Mommmy's and Cousin Jennifer's Birthday today!

They booked a chalet. (And I just returned from it).

I shan't blog too much, I'm soo f**king tired.

I'll let pictures do the talking. (like always)

But just for you, Ally. MSN me, I'll tell you the highlights of the events!

The girls, Veronica and Seow Min.

Me and Seow Min, cam-whoring.

Jasmine joins in the fun!

I love her hair!

Seow Min: 'Do SUPERMAN, SUPERMAN!'

Zhan Ming: 'Oh, bother.'

Kids Magnet - not by choice.

Side Effects of SAJC.

Nobody wanted to play Bridge with her. HAHA

Pictures of the BBQ, Birthday cakes are all in the other cams!

It's midnight, I need to concuss, like NOW.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

LOVE*

Sophie's latest!

Monday, March 12 9:12 PM

SHOPAHOLIC AND BABY IS OUT IN STORES!

(I'm gonna get mine tomorrow!)

Baby, I'm drowning.

Sunday, March 11 9:10 PM

Went o'er to Gran's for steamboat gathering with the rest just now.
Since we couldn't meet this CNY, it's really been quite a long time since I saw all of them too.
(So for once, I shan't complain about having steamboat)
Haha
Waiting for Ugly Betty which only starts in 2 hours, I'm pretty bored on a Sunday night.

While being occupied with being bored, I'm suddenly thinking.
Of somehow the words that didn't fit and fall so nicely together, in a sentence and on my ear.
It brought me down quite low.
I guess you could be a little more supportive.
But perhaps, it takes too much to try.
I wasn’t scared of my disappointment, I was afraid of your disappointment.
But, whatever.

Does anyone still remembers that I'm only 21?

Anyway, go check out my sis' blog.
Her latest entry is DAMN funny.
I didn't come from a JC, but I appreciate good humour like this!

King Leonidas and his 300

1:28 PM

Yes, again.

I went to catch a new movie yesterday.

King Leonidas

Caught 300 at Cineleisure, and I saw quite a lot of people around town..

Maybe it's cos we caught a earlier slot as compared to most weekends, our movie only start close to 11.

300 deserves the 4 popcorns they get.

Don't say you weren't warned, it IS rated M18 for a reason.

I changed my blog skin, and removed the password prompt! (again)

Tell me what you think okie?

Meanwhile, I need to psyche myself up for a important agenda tomorrow.

Viva La Rock Tigers

Saturday, March 10 12:14 AM

We went to the airport again, today!

But for a change, no one's leaving us (yet)

A little background.

As an Intern Artiste Liaison Officer, One of Clara's gazillion responsibilities include picking up these artistes from the Airport.

So, being very sweet and dear friends, Mel and I decided to tag along.

But Mel being the sweeter and dearer one, shopped with her since afternoon.

Since I haven't gotten o'er the hole (literally) that the root canal made in my bank account, no shopping for me- at least for a while.

Met them at Bugis after work to head straight to Changi Airport for dinner.

Settled for Ajisen (We didn't have much choice, and we were all starvingly hungry)

And I didn't know until today that the Ajisen @ Terminal 1 is self service, and that their menu only comes in half the variety as compared to those outside.

Thank god it's not the non spicy half that they left out.
Hahaa

And the best part of dinner was that Kui Jien (the incredibly hot and superliciously cute host of Disney Channel Malaysia!) was just a table away from us!

The girls didn't know la, but I was blatantly checking him out.

Hahah!

He's really cute!

That lucky girl, Sarah Tan. (She was there too!)

Had some drinks, pancake. This was after dinner.

To think I was supposed to abstain from sweet stuff.

Headed down to Arrival Hall to pick ROCK TIGERS.

I really weren't kidding about ROCK TIGERS

According to Clara, they hail from the land of Kimchi and they're some underground act.

Basically, I guess it means they're no Rain.

Haha

Took some silly pictures while waiting for their flight to land, and clear baggage.

(Felt like FOREVER)

Melissa & Our Mosaic Girl

Anyways, Clara was damn hilarious!
As we were trying to identify them from a sea of Koreans gathering around the luggage conveyer belt, Clara asked with a worried look on her face, "Oh my God, what if they're hot?"

Trust me, the look on her face was c-l-a-s-s-i-c.

I laughed quite hard.

Clara, clara, you never fail to crack me up.

Au Pair

I slapped Clara by accident!

That's why she's sulking!

Clara works the POUT!

Jane! We miss you!

This is how all RAIN fans look like.
Tell me we look convincing!

Going for a chalet next week held for Cousin Jennifer and Mum's birthday, since it's on the very same day!
Good, since it's been a while since we had a gathering after Grandad's passing 2 months ago.

FYI, I'll be away for my external training programme in Sentosa from 26-28th March.
Alrighty, that's it.

I got loads of stuff waiting for me to do tomorrow, gotta catch some rest now.

Can't we all just have normal teeth??

Tuesday, March 6 5:09 PM

I just blew $580 on my root canal this morning, and I'll be expecting to spend up to 2k in the next few visits.

With that, I have to cease my favourite-st hobby for the next 3 months.

SHOPPING.

Sorry guys, unless someone willingly offers to feed my addiction.

No more sweets stuff and carbs for the next 3 weeks till 11 April.

And even that, is not the end of my suffering.

I don't even want to elaborate.

I just want to SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH until the cows come home.

HR Espirit De Corp

8:59 AM

Friday night was damn fun, damn fun.
I laughed so hard, people nearly saw my lunch.

Managed to get a couple of pictures.

Not all were up yet though.

Theme was retro, and people started pouring in the office early in the morning in their finest number.
Those who didn't, had a huge paper bag to follow. (I belong to this statistical figure)

Managed to get something remotely retro the night before, with ZERO help.

So I am excusable for looking like crap.

And this time, I'm pretty proud of myself, cos I didn't spend a s.i.n.g.l.e cent on this Espirit De Corp.

I'm reformed!

Haha

Anyways, work was fast that Friday.
Didn't help that I was away on MC on Thursday, so work piled up Bt Timah high, and Social Comm members had to leave at 4pm, that being said, more work piled.

Reached SIM Management House at 5 plus, cos of the heavy downpour and sudden extinction of cabs.
Sally bombarded the hotlines, and got us one eventually. Good Job.

Changed when we got there, and we practically hogged the entire toilet for a good hour.
(And that is a conservative gauge!)
Haha
Watching Crystal and Sally make up, I was quite impressed.
They CAN close their mouths when curling their eyelashes.
SPH girls are like superwoman, I always say.

SIM Lounge.
It's really pretty huge.

When I heard there was gonna be a jukebox, I was like, Where? Where?
Then someone told me, THERE!

Yes, it's a CARDBOARD jukebox.

Violet and the Floor Manager touching up some details.

Food Reception Area.
(That's the Tyra Banks show airing on TV behind)

Social Committee Members '07

Left to Right : Huat Chye, Sally, Meng Lay, Crystal, ME!, Celine & Alison

Slowly as it started to inch towards 7pm, more and more cars came filled to the brim with colleagues.
Everyone looking retroactive after their add-on accessories and Christmas ornaments. (Hah! Kidding!)
The whole lounge was so colourful!
We should seriously do Bollywood Night next year like Ramoo suggested!

Jesline and Me. I know I still look unwell.

She's young, and she's my boss.

Marketing Girls, with Ling Ling and Huat Chye. (He's everywhere!)

Went slow on the chow to avoid another relapse of my gastric flu.
Good thing it didn't act up that night.
Games were wild, crazy and people were sporting.
Jay knows how to work his crowd.

Mable, Nancy, Lawrence & Eric weren't spared either.
That Jay is one daring fella. Haha

Big Bosses Boogie-ing Blindfolded.

Then came the Yusheng. Everyone tossed like there was a Grand Prize underneath the carrot shreds and salmon, which I didn't know about.
No prizes in the end, and I'm quite sure plum sauce weren't part of the deal. Hahaa
It was still fun to throw food around once in a while.

Saw the Mango Voucher yet??

Overall, HR Espirit De Corp 2007 success!
