We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
And yes, we've just begun...

As the pictures tell, I cut my hair!!The first picture may give the impression that it's like a short bob, but really, do you think I'll let them do that??
Haha, seriously? Nah, I just went for a little trim since my ends according to Andrew, are all getting dry.
My head definitely feels lighter now, but my beautiful curls have been drastically reduced. (Read: Dried ends) He gave me a card for a 40% discount should I decide to return to do my colouring, (another) perm or rebonding.
Anyone interested?
Yay, maybe I will utilise it after CNY. That's if I know what I want to do. Anyways, here's photos!
Looks damn short ah? The hair, not me!
See, I actually still have some length and curls left.
The rest are all on the salon's floor.
And my colour job's not fading yet! Yay! :)
Will be away in the morning half for a retreat tomorrow. Meeting up with new Head and the rest. I hope it's fun, I always liked this kinda social activities where we mingle (yah, and discuss on strategic outcomes for the new financial year...yada yadaaa)
So tempted to skip class tomorrow evening, cos it's the last Friday that everyone will make their mad dash to get their New Year goodies, clothes, shoes, bags, hair job, bak kwa, decorations blahhh.. The list goes on.
I'm already expecting tomorrow's attendance for AHRP to be the worst in all its 20 years history. Hahaha. Kidding!
Shall go to work early tomorrow, a little time to hit the gym before I head for the retreat session.
Ciao babes! It's the season to be bingeing. Tra la la la!
5 minutes of reflection
Wednesday, January 30 10:35 PM
I'm going to bed in 5 minutes. I just wanna say something(s).- We're down to the last day in January tomorrow. 11 more months of this, and we celebrate the birth of Christ again. (scary, huh?)
- It's exactly 7 days to Chinese New Year! My house is stacking up with goodies! Makes me a super elated girl, but kills my diet plans.
- Assignments are due in week after Chinese New Year. Killjoy!
- My darling Cheryl turns a ripe old age of 22! Happppy Belated Birthday Meng! *hughughugkisskisskiss* I can't imagine I've known you for 8 years now.
- I'm meeting the girls on Monday for Kuishin Bo dinner. (another diet killer, but I'll make up for it) Haha
- The weekend is near. This Saturday is our 17th!
- I love my boyfriend. He is amazing.
- I love my family. They are always here for me.

Sunday, January 27 10:24 PM
This is something hilarious, that I made a mental note to blog about from yesterday.Haha, I had totally no idea how and why, but Boyfriend and I suddenly were going though the 'This Old Man, He Played One' limerick.
Remember how this goes? Cos it's gonna be vital in your enjoyment of the rest of the entry. Anyways, this goes all the way up from 1 to 10.
So as we decided to recall what were the 10, we substituted many words which we couldn't recall to make it sound right.
Some words are a little M18, so please don't start singing this to your baby cousins or nieces and nephews. Haha
The words in the bracket are the correct ones (as Googled by me), whereas those which are underlined are the nonsense the both of us came up with.
Enjoy fellas!

Exactly 10 days to Chinese New Year, how's everyone's shopping and spring cleaning?
Hope CNY this year starts off 2008 on a fantastic note! For a first, let me get to my goal of 48kg.
I'm close. Please. Bak Kwa be gone.
27 Dresses
1:31 AM
I finally caught the much hyped about 27 dresses today! (or rather yesterday since it's technically now Sunday morning 1.35am)The movie is hilarious! I love Katherine Heigl, all her 27 dresses, her hair (it always looks damn good!) and of course the very hot James Marsden.
Anyway, the movie on the whole is a great chick flick! :) Girls, you gotta catch it!
She's such a doll, don't you think?
She makes even the ugliest dress look glamourous!
Oooh, James Marsden.. 
There's even a sari! Looks a bit Heather Graham-ish right?
Check out the lineup they had during movie premiere in the States!
Anyway, dinner was super sinful today. We headed to Ajitei at Plaza, cos it's been too long since our last visit and that Citibank entitles us to 10%.
Ordered like 5 or 6 dishes, mostly cheese filled or cream based skewers, omelettes, chicken, pork..
To top it off, we had each a sundae to conclude the meal. Super nice cos it was the pretty pretty Jap ice cream that just goes so well with red bean, mango and lotsa ice cream.
No whipped cream, the way I like it! :)
And to make this worst, I missed my morning jog. Think I was too tired. I was woken up by a call this morning and it was already 11am then.
I shall make it up on Tues. Yes, Tues it shall be.
Bought a pair of pumps from our trip to Far East. Boyfriend didn't get anything.
I think I'm slowly growing too old for FEP too. Haha, all the people there are like kids. Saw some pretty nice dresses back there (for weddings which I can certainly use soon!), but I reckon a good time to get it would be after CNY.
Discounts will be in abundance.
Alright now, it's already 2 hours into Sunday. Not the type to sacrifice my sleep, I'm out.
Hasta La Vista Baby.
When will you get married
Saturday, January 26 12:29 PM
According to the When will you get Married quiz on Facebook,
"Gina Sng will get married...........5 Years From Now!
You will meet a very special person at the place you work.
You will fall in love and end up spending the rest of your life with them. You both will be intelligent and goal oriented, and that will pass on to your kids."
In 5 years, I'll be 26!
Yay, I don't mind, especially because it also predicts that I'll be having intelligent and goal-oriented kids too!
Kids! Plural, means more than 1!
Hahaha
When will you get married?
Magic in Microsoft
12:18 PM
Someone forwarded to me an email titled - Magic in Microsoft. You guys may have seen it somewhere before, but I was so amused when I read it, I decided to re-post it as a blog entry.
Have fun, y'guys.
Magic # 1
An indian discovered that nobody can create a folder anywhere on the computer which can be named a s 'CON'.
This is something pretty cool and unbelievable (althought I don't know how this works)
At Microsoft, no one could answer why this happened.
Try it now, you will not be able to create a 'CON' folder.
Magic # 2
For those using Windows, do the following:
- Open an empty notepad file
- Type 'Bush hid the facts' (without the quotes)
- Save it as whatever you want
- Close the file and re-open it!
Is it really just a weird bug??
Magic #3
This is pretty cool and neat!
Apparently, the whole at Microsoft including Bill Gates couldn't answer why.
This was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it yourself!
- Open Microsoft Word
- Type =rand(200,99)
- Press Enter
- See the Magic!
Haha. Go amuse yourself too.
Wednesday, January 23 10:29 PM
Summing up my 23rd day of 2008. - Early morning on the Dan & Young show, I heard they said Heath Ledger died.
DIED??!! HEATH LEDGER?
Sorry, I know I'm being a little dramatic here. Truth is, I couldn't believe it.
I mean, he's not old and frumpy (plus he is hot) So why should he die?
Sigh, he's all but 28.
And he hasn't even attended the Batman premiere yet! :( - Went out for an external conference at One Marina this afternoon and guess who I met!
Su See!
Hahaa, her Ministry was in collaboration for today's conference and that's why she was there as a usher.
Haha, good to see her! I'm so going to her house (which is 1 street away) to bai nian during CNY! Hee - Parking coupon during dinner. $50
Like WTH!!! I don't even wanna elaborate too much on it.
Just 3 words, or rather, alphabets. W-T-H! - A surprise gift from Mum! Came home and found a silver Braun Buffel gift bag hung on the lower rack of my wardrobe.
It's the wallet I wanted (and had no budget for!) Hahaha
Yay! Love it, love it, love it!
Mum says it's CNY gift. Very cute right? :) - Just my personal favourite quote. Taken from MOF's toilet.
(We have these inspirational messages stuck on the cubicle doors, y'see)
"You live only once. If you live it right, once is enough"
How true. - Good night.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Tuesday, January 22 9:35 PM
The Easterners should have heard about the train delay yesterday. Analyn thinks I'm damn lucky to be on leave. Maybe I really am.
Imagine, 7 hours!
I'll probably just head home to telecommute if I were stranded at Tampines MRT station for that long.
Gym session today was good. We sweat like mad and met SZ there. He was surprised we visited the gym and so were we about him. Ha
Wanted to head down to Polo Ralph to grab a couple of shirts on the way home but gave up the idea eventually cos I was so damn shagged.
Dragged my feet to the train station and headed home.
The cabin I was in, had these 2 irritating girls. There are like lower secondary (if they even go to school in the first place) age, behaving very rowdily and laughing hysterically.
Making fun of some indian guy standing near them. Poor him.
Picture this, skinny girls with heavily layered rebonded hair.
Hot pants with a halter top and a cardigan. (They wear matching clothes)
Bright pink comb sticking out of their back pockets.
Loud ringtone that gives anyone a perpetual headache. Not even apologetic, in fact croons out loud to the tune each time her Sony Ericsson rings.
Typical typical ah lian.
Out for external conference tomorrow, afterwhich I may head down to get my Ralph Laurens and maybe some other stuff as well.
Wednesday better be nice to me.
Silosa Beach Resort
Monday, January 21 5:37 PM
A day at Sentosa's Siloso Beach Resort! The place is gorgeous with a capital G!
Lush greenery, beautiful waterfalls! Totally au naturale.
By the time we reached Sentosa, it was already close to sunset.
Managed to catch Le Grand Chef at Vivocity and did some great shopping. (no harvests though)
The movie is good by the way, also strongly endorsed by Jas Soh. :)
It's very Da Chang Jin without all the soap opera and with actually cute young guys instead of lusting over some mid life Emperor.
Yes, especially if you're a foodie, you will find it difficult to control your tummy from growling.
Bought dinner back to the resort, not very healthy. Burger King! :(
Watched Kim Basinger and Chris Evans in Cellular over dinner. Chris Evans is yummier than my chicken sandwich.
Just saying!
Some pictures of the resort for your viewing pleasure. You guys may like to go there sometime. It's a great place to rest and relax after you've spent the entire day at the other attractions.
And right outside of the resort, it's Cafe Del Mar! What is better than that?
Lush greenery, beautiful waterfalls! Totally au naturale.

The walkway to the tree-top reception. It is a glass room. Totally awesome!
Can you see the waterfall??
The rows and rows of rooms. There's like 10 levels in all?
Although it looks pretty low from this picture.
Along the aisle
The waterfall pool! We didn't manage to use it, cos didn't bring swimwear! Next time!
Looking out of our window, that is Cafe Del Mar when it's not filled with booze and bikini babes.
Sunset, lovely!
This time, we caught The Flock with Claire Danes and Richard Gere.
If you ask me, I have no clue what the whole movie was about. From start to end. I just know it's gory and gruesome at some points. I felt slightly whoosy when the lights came on.
3 words - Do.not.watch.
On Saturday before I went out, I decided to make good my time and do some packing. With all the CNY shopping, my wardrobe is clearly not a bottomless pit, unlike my stomach, thus the need to remove those I haven't worn in a while and pack new ones up the rack.
I took everything out, to reorganise. It was just too packed to start and I don't even know from where! Haha.
Vacated everything, except my towels and PJs.
And the massive stack of clothngs! Anyone wants?
It's so wasteful to throw it, yet I do not have room for them.
The view behind the wheels.
Hmmm.. I wish CNY would come with a great bang! I love festivities. :)
Sentosa in 12 hours!
Sunday, January 20 1:52 AM
Went to the JobsDB career fair at Suntec this afternoon with Boyfriend. Nope, we weren't on a job quest.
His Ministry is stationed there today and he wanted to drop by to say Hi, and as part of my Min's HR, I wanted to have a sense of the job fairs others are organizing too. (without us!)
Hahaa, anyway we held ours (at Suntec Convention too) quite recently in October last year though. So maybe not so soon till our next fair.
The effort alone is crazy!
The crowd wasn't as overwhelming to me, considering it is a Saturday.
I would expect the turnout on Sunday to be slightly lesser since people usually rest their Sundays away at home rather than heading town.
Anyways, as I strolled along the aisle, I recognised a couple of MNCs, while there were some I don't recall hearing of.
Also, I chanced upon this particular booth which was recruiting.....cadet pilots.
Cadet Pilots?
I always thought (maybe from the HK dramas) that such positions were typically demand over supply and they were quite the creme de la creme openings, with ardous training and recruitment for these vacancies were usually more low key given the specialist skills you require.
Now, it seems that you can also find such positions being openly promoted at a career fair. That, I was slightly surprised. But again, not for long. We all know how buoyant the market is recently. :)
We left the fair shortly and went for dinner at Cedele. Dinner was a healthy healthy affair with soup and sandwich.
Speaking of this, do you know?? (I know at this moment now you don't,. but I will tell you!)
Many people have been telling me I lost quite a bit of weight! And yes I have!
Yayness!
I haven't been dieting or popping pills, so no worries! I don't advocate such ways.
Actually, I didn't even notice it myself, until after Christine commented during class yesterday along with several others during the whole week, I went home to weigh myself.
And to my delight, I dropped a couple kilos.
To further convince myself, I dugged out my old Size 26 Levis Squarecut jeans which I only worn for a couple of times before I grew out of it.
Voila! It fits now! Save me on a pair of denims this CNY!
And the Hard Rock shirt which Dear bought for me all the way from Rome.
It was a lil snug 2 months back, but now I can wear it with ease!
I'm a happpy happpy girl!
I just hope the kilos don't come finding their way back to me. Be gone! (at least till after CNY)
To sweeten the deal, Boyfriend bought me a Puma Samoa Jersey Polo today!
Yays. With that, I think I have pretty much settled my CNY shopping for 2008.
No more budget left anyway.
And come tomorrow, I'll be basking under the sun in Sentosa! Island Life in 12 hours!
It's already 2am now. I better hit the sack.
Oh yes! Cloverfield is good, good, good. Go catch it!
Another great news! PS I Love You will open on Valentine's Day.
I'm just wondering why they picked Hilary Swank for Holly's role.
Nights all! Have a great Sunday!
XoXo
Gina
Tuesday Spree
Thursday, January 17 9:37 PM
Shopping with Clara on Tuesday. This trip was totally impromptu and unplanned. Nonetheless, it was fun. I'll let the pictures do the talking instead.
Boyfriend sure knows how to spoil my sister, an entire bag of chicken bak kwa, cheese bak kwa and coin bak kwa from Bee Cheng Hiang.
This is just a pre-CNY appetiser for her! She loves her bak kwa. Hahaha.
Ciao babes!
Hairy Details
Sunday, January 13 2:37 PM
I feel like doing something new to my hair for the New Year... but I can't think of any possible hair job. I don't want to snip it short, cos I think my current length now is pretty easy to maintain. Everything is just a bun away.
A colour job is a no-no as well.
Not that I don't want to but I just did it 2 months back with Mum at Kimage and it cost me $180 remember?
It's gonna damage my hair and my bank account if I go too often. :)
Haha.
Maybe I'll add bangs.. or maybe I'll do the relaxer or soft straighten at Kimage. That would mean bye bye waves (but I like my waves...!).
Still, it may be good for a new look cos I get bored easily.
Will my hair be damaged?
Hmmm, suggestions? Anyone?
Changi Airport Terminal 3
1:38 AM
Remember bout my trip to Changi Airport T3?Trust me, the entire journey made me wanna laugh and cry at the same time. Hahaa.
Let me tell you guys about it.
First, he drove to my place but we did not drive down to Changi Airport, cos we were thinking of taking the direct bus from my place - Service No 34.
So fine, I thought it'd be good to take bus once in a while too. Besides we were catching our movie at Century, so we figured there was really no need for the March this weekend.
Brought along the brolly from the car since it was slightly raining. As we made our way across to the bus stop, the rain got HEAVIER! Like, flashflood-heavy!
And since we were already 1 road junction away from the bus stop, we pressed on. Thinking the rain may subside. Like, anytime.
It didn't. In fact, it got even heavier! (Is there another word that says heavier than heavier??)
But by then, going all the way back to the car would probably get ourselves more wet since we were already waiting at the bus stop.
To top it off, the bus took forever to come!
After 3 Number 9s, 2 Number 18s, 3 Number 38s, 1 Number 59 and 2 Number 17s.
34 finally finally appeared in visible view. (Note: Rain was really heavy)
We then boarded much to our relief.
Along the way, traffic seemed slow. Probably due to the rain, I suppose.
WHO KNOWS?!
Just 1/2 minute after I processed that thought in my head, I heard Dear mutter a "Oh, shit".
The bus was unable to move further, that explains the "slow traffic". The driver muttered something to the front half of the bus in mandarin and loads of hand gestures, but I couldn't catch any.
Fuck. Was all that was going through my head.
It was pouring and the bus is right smack in the middle of the highway (y'know, along to airport), and no bus stop in sight, yet he was trying to get us to alight. Wth.
I was seriously pissed.
Then, the aunties intercepted, telling him to allow us to alight only when the other bus came. (Apparently, the HQ sent a replacement bus for us)
So he began issuing tickets to redeem the free ride on the next bus, but heck. I couldn't care less by then.
I was wet and cold and my lymph node is hurting! (I'll come to more of that later)
Finally, a 27 came. We all alighted with our brollies. Bless those who boarded 34 when it was still sunny out there, cos they obviously wouldn't have a ready brolly.
And so we made the rest of our journey to T3. So much trial and tribulations right? Hahah, I know I'm a little on the exaggerating side.
Dear was extremely amused by the whole incident!
Hahaha. And on hindsight, i guess it was quite funny.
Finally, let me get to T3, it's HUGE!
I feel extremely proud of Singapore for this magnificent airport. It's really pretty. Made my day brighter already.. Haha
You gotta go there to experience it. They added a wide array of shops to the line-up too, making it a true shopping experience even if you're not travelling. It seems to have half of what is at Tampines Mall is at T3. Hahaa. They have Blush (the lingerie shop), Helen (the hair accesories shop), Yakun, Colette (for kids), Mini Toons, M1, NTUC, an actual foodcourt (and not those staff canteen)... Lots more I can't recall offhand, but if I say it's good, you gotta trust me. :)
Took some pictures for your viewing pleasure, but you have to be there at least once! (at least now while it's new!)
Check out the open-flap design of the roof. Dear said the purpose was to allow some form of solar energy yet minimum sunlight.
Damn cool huh? Brilliant, I say!
The departure at T3. I can imagine travelling in utmost style to board through these gates!
It's not just another viewing gallery.
It's the Tree Top @ Terminal 3.
A peep into Transit. (and DFS!)
More of Transit!
They even have a in-house hotel for transit travellers with long hours until their next flight.
Some rotary fan I saw at Arrival Hall. Not sure if it serves any practical function, but its' very cute.
Like a flower-shaped windmill.
Some rotary fan I saw at Arrival Hall. Not sure if it serves any practical function, but its' very cute.Like a flower-shaped windmill.
Some pictures we took on the travellator.
And more..
And more, but my hair looks extremely messy in this shot.
And finally, the last shot. I like this!
Dear thinks otherwise. Hahaa
After we explored the entire T3 (well, most of what can be explored. Read: Not transit, obviously), we headed back to Century. This time, the rain has already stopped.
Allelujah.
Had dinner at Sakae Teppanyaki, albeit my doctor warned me against fried food. I can't decide whether grilled Teppanyaki was considered fried now.
Nonetheless, we had our usual sets and garlic rice. I haven't felt so full this whole week cos I've been having just soups for meals. The lymph node was making swallowing difficult, but miraculously became better today.
Okay, maybe I should never have wavered , even in the face of Teppanyaki. Now my throat is killing me and my lymph node is so painful. I can't even yawn without cringing.
Swallowing is such a pain! Help me! And to make it even worst, now I can't just turn anywhere to see things. I need to move my whole body else I feel the pain at the neck. Peeling myself off a round neck tee is double the torture.
Same with shaving - the underarms. I took a risk and ran the shaver blindfolded, well literally. Dear found this double the hilariosity of the broken down Bus 34.
Irritating the hell out of me! :(
We proceeded to catch The American Gangster at 9pm.
It was good, damn good! The movie is damn long though. Almost 3 hours, so be prepared with your popcorns, nachos and drinks before you head in.
It's a extremely good movie so you have to catch it. No boring moments despite it being 3 hours long. It's one of the first 'based on a true story' movie that actually didn't suck. Hahaha
Great, as I type now. My air con just died on me. It shut off all of a sudden and there is no way I can get it to work! Wah lao! Is this super bad day or what??
Probably have to sleep with the fan tonight. Trust me, my fan is colder than the aircon.
I better try to sleep now, while my room has some 'preserved airconditioning'. I hope that 'ooooof' sound is not the last I will be hearing from my Mitsubishi.
Nights all. And you bloody lymph node, be gone when dawn strikes!
New Skin for the New Year
Saturday, January 12 1:11 PM
Hi guys! I chanced upon this skin online, and so here it is. It's beautiful ain't it?
I kinda like the simplistic design, with the splash of colours! Pretty Pretty!
Let me know what you think about it!
Anyway, sleep last night was a torture cos although the swelling has gone down a bit, it still hurts. So for a person who sleeps on my sides, I couldn't stay asleep past 9am this morning.
Meeting Dear later and we're gonna explore the new Terminal 3 at Changi. The new terminal officially opened on Thursday with much fanfare. So we'll going to see what the hype is about. Mum went and said it was huge. Yes, DFS is also a joy for her! Haha
And I'm gonna wear my new Adidas shirt later, which Dear got for me in Bkk.
Got nothing much to blog about right now, except 2008 could be a year of travels for me. We'll already planning one in March.
More details soon!
Love!
-The girl with the swollen lymph node-
SICK.
Friday, January 11 5:32 PM
I am sick. I woke up with a temperature, so high that I could not make my way to work. Shit.
Mum made me stay home while I sent out messages to Clara, Analyn and Boyfriend.
Took Biogesic and fell back asleep. Woke up and discovered a swollen lump on my neck. Was so worried.
Made my way to the clinic, imagining the worst. When I got there, I found the clinic closed. (dammit). It was lunch hour.
Seeing that it opens again at 2pm, I got myself some soup for lunch since I hadn't eaten anything since I woke up.
After I was done, grabbed a copy of TNP and read outside the clinic. My dental appointment was at 2.45pm. So no matter what, I had to be done with Dr Tan by 2.45pm to see Dr Sng.
They are really just side-by-side.
Rose (the dental assistant) saw me.. and I was telling her, I might be late. The queue just wasn't moving.
She said Dr Sng wouldn't see me if I was having a fever. She touched my forehead and confirmed I was still having a temperature.
Ahh! Now, I need to cancel my dental. Shits!
Oh wells, I then re-secheduled with her for Monday. I guess it works for me, too.
Soon, the number 660 appeared overhead. I made my way in to see Dr Tan. (It was definitely later than 2.45pm by then).
After the 'Say Ahhh" and stethoscope checks, he told me I had a swollen lymph node and my tonsils are red and enlarged,
Holy.
How in the world?! So I asked.
"Doc, how did I get it?"
"Oh, you obviously got it from someone who passed it to you."
HMPH! who in the devil's name dare to pass me such infection!
Stupid. Anyways, I was prescribed antibiotics, a day's MC and lots of rest. It's Friday anyways.
Sorry Clara for the 7am notice that I can't make shopping trip today! I'm really really sorry. Another time ok?
If you haven't gotten a swollen lymph node before, then you wouldn't know, but it hurts!
I better get well soon!
Rejoice!
Thursday, January 10 10:45 PM
I received my results for last sem! Yay, distinctions! Let's just say I'm very pleased!
Still, that does not negate the fact that I'm visiting Dr Sng tomorrow for my appointment. (Yes, my dentist happens to share my surname)
Owwwww.
Pray for me.
Manhattan Fish Market Gathering
Wednesday, January 9 9:36 PM
5 of us sans Jane met last evening for a good ol' gathering cum dinner!
Thanks to Teresa's recommendation, we went Central. And thanks to my recommendation, we found ourselves plonked down at Manhattan Fish Market.
What I forgot to tell them is the long waiting time. Hahaha
Nonetheless, it gave us time to talk, catch up, laugh, joke, laugh somemore. Yes, Cam-whore is by default. :)

5 of us! 
Clara was very hyper last night. Don't ask me why.
Too hungry, perhaps.
I told them, this picture makes Tree look like a Mother-in-Law with her 2 Daughters-in-Law. 
See, what did I tell you about Clara being HIGH?(Trust me, it was worst at the neoprint stand!)
We all know Mel hearts nana!
After dinner which I have yet to garner the response, we headed down from Central to Somerset, with 1 single objective.
Take Neoprints!
It's almost like we religiously make an effort to take 1 or more everytime we meet. So yah, we trottled down to Cineleisure for the very said purpose. Clara got mad and wild once the Japanese voice went "Hai! Yi! Ni!" (or whatever that translates to 1!2!3! in Jap)
She sweeped us aside like a tidal wave and claimed her long deserved throne in (almost) all of the neoprints shots, smacked in the centre, grinning like a bunny. Hahahah
Anyway, I'm too lazy to scan the neoprints for this entry. Besides, Mel and Cass both infrared the pictures onto their phones, so send them to me soon okai?
After Cine, the easterners cabbed home (that's all of us except Clara). Hahaha.
Tree is returning this Saturday, which means the next time we gather as a herd like this would not be until another 6 months later (when she returns for her internship).
Oh wells, not wasted anyway cos it was a splendid night spent. :)
Reached home and found my online shopping in the mail! 2 of them, in fact! (I know, I'm a damn good customer to have!) Hahaha
My cute dress and leggings found (and fit) me well! Yays! :) I'm pretty adamant to have a main shot for myself since Clara thrashed a few of my shots at Cine (haha), so here you go!
Me and my new dress! Peter Pan collars!
And Dear's flight should be landing in approx 2 hours or slightly less. Yays.
This week seemed to take its own sweet time, especially when I'm looking forward (for once) to see my dentist! It's only Thursday tomorrow.
Alright, Bye for now!
The legendary brown box
Monday, January 7 7:58 PM
Today, I shall blog about a big brown box. I found this brown box on my table this morning when I reached my cubicle. Upon closer look, I went ..... WOAHHHH!
Cos this was no ordinary box, this is Louis Vuitton! I went estactic and found out that a colleague got it for me! Wheee!
It does look like a bible from afar, doesn't it?
When I pulled it out from the tab, I realised.................. that there was yet another wrapper within!
Hahaha
And then with my eye, I spy..... a translucent white pouch and the famous letters. 
And yes, inside the little pouch, you find rubber cubes! All 3 of them!
In orange, black and white! Oh god, It's totally pretty I'm telling you!
Pretty, pretty, pretty!
I heard this box of goodies is pretty expensive! Love ya Joanne!
Avec amour, (with love)
Louis Vuitton
OH. And I have a horrid tooth canal that's killing the ass off me. Fuck.
