What an expensive day...

Dinner was with my girlies at Sketches in Bugis. First time I went there and it was Tri's suggestion that brought us there.

But since I was the earliest and Sasa was round the corner, I decided to drop in coz my beautician recommended "Cellnique, Pro Sebum Gel" and while browsing around I got a pearl shimmer for my cheeks.. in less than 15 mins, $85 flew... =/... Just like that! =(

But don't you think the PINK cover is VERY nice?? =DPRO SEBUM GEL is a gentle formula designed for comedogenic, oily and combination skin types to reduce both blackheads and whiteheads. It also reduces oil secretion, leaving the skin clean and clear.

According to my beautician, (her colleagues have been using this and vast improvements!) this gel can help to remove blackheads and even the pores will become smaller! Like so miraculous so must try and there is "$$$ back guaranteed!" So, ya, must try!

I must say that the company has put in a fair bit of effort into this product. There is a Quality Seal on the bottle and I was thinking, so troublesome lei, so many seals to remove as there was already one on the Pink Cover. =/ Before tearing off the quality seal. After tearing off, there are still marks on it...

I was abit impressed lei! First time see Quality Seals like that lei.

But hubby laughed at me and teased me lor... =(

I like pale shimmer for cheeks coz with just 1 application, I can go to an evening function easily! Or I can just use it as highligher on parts of my face. I like! =) This was supposed to be the "Best Seller" in Japan currently!

Back to Sketches... the food is not too bad. I like their prawn salad and also the jumbo platter. Prawns are fresh. Pasta is not too bad. What I like is that you can customised your own pasta and it's coined "Designer Pasta."We had quite a lot of food. Shared the prawn salad and jumbo platter and we each have a plate of pasta each.

My designer pasta is named "Sharon" (after myself of course!) and I had the Fettuccine and Ravioli with Black Olives, Bacon, Mushrooms, Chicken & Baby Clams drowned in Marinara sauce thicken ladden with squids and prawns accompanimed by grated Parmesan Cheese and Pine Nuts! All these for a mere $11.50+++!

But hor, I won't recommend to go to this place, maybe it's coz it's the day before PH so the staff are shorthanded. But still, I feel the service there is quite lousy.

We asked for ice water and they said, it will be delivered together with the food yet, when our food came, there was no ice water... and when Tri and my designer pasta came, it was wrong! They actually had to re-deliver it and they were still unsure of the order. And the most ironic was that they actually asked us to stir the plate of pasta to confirm that it's right!

Wah lau!!!

Service is sucks mann! Pricing is ok lar. The 3 of us with all those food, came up to a bill of $70+ and that works out to be close to maybe $23 each?

Yuin's bday was this month and both Tri and I gave her a treat as Bday present coz we are not sure what she likes lor.. hahaha...Happy Tri with her designer pasta order.

I think I overate...gosh.. Now I can feel my stomach rumbling again though I've taken my medicine. =(

I went to the doc this morning and after the check, she says that I have too much gas and acid in my stomach and gave me a bagful of medicine which costs me a freaking $50!!! My goodness! Doctors here are really expensive!

So just in a day... I've spent over $160!!! =(

Clothes =)

The mommy of my Godchild was telling me this morning that they had posted all the clothes that they had bought for Clara onto the blog.. so I had to go and take a look. So pretty!!! And I was so tempted to buy too... so there I went in search of BB clothes...

Nah... Don't get me wrong, I'm buying for other ppl's BB! Well, one of them is not "other ppl" la, but my Godchild =)

Was browsing thru the online sprees and saw from one of the webby that there were BB clothings and such cutsey little dresses. I had to get them!

Now, asking Clara's mommy to choose which 3 she like best and I'll give the other piece to Naomi.

Just nice =)

Printed Bubble One-Piece

Suitable for 3-6 months.

Tiered Eyelet Dress For 6-12 months. Comes with a little matching diaper cover... the little panty.. haha..

Printed Smocked Dress For 6-12 months. Also comes with the little matching panty. =)

Crochet-Trim DressFor 6-12 months again. And that's how the little panty looks like! =D

BB girls after 6 months old just look sooo adorable and cute in dresses and skirts! Then with that big butt wrapped round by diapers....Or when they just learn how to walk! So cute right?? hahahaha...

themes. ThEmEs. THEMES!!!

Gosh!!!

Having a Nokia hp is rather fun I must say.... I kind of forgotton that Nokia and Sony Ericsson Hp can do that... I was so busy searching for PINKY, CUTESY and NICE themes for my Hp.

Come to think of it, I also not sure why during the time when I was using V3i, it never occur to me to check out the webby for themes. Not that it cannot ma. But I just never lei.

Maybe coz the V3i looks more like a business phone not as "fun" as Nokia and SE hence no update my themes... can you imagine using such a business phone with such cutesy pictures?

Very off right?

Anyway, I have downloaded enough themes for me to change on a daily basis up to a week! =D

I have cute girls, pinky hearts, pinky bears & hearts, BB Pooh + Piglet/Tiger, cute monkeys too! All from this website.

I wish...

I'm hoping to get a few days of MC this week... can I??

I'm feeling tired from the exam and study stress of last week and the moment of heading back to office, was busy with the school visit and had no chance to rest at all.

Can I just go to the doc and ask for MC? 1 day will be nice, 2 days will be even better and if it's 3 days.... Total BLISS~ =D

After all, Thursday is a PH and I'm on leave on Friday... so can you imagine if I'm given a 3 day MC?

Wahahahahaha....

Then it will be the WHOLE week off!!!

Doc... I'm not well... headache.. very very pain.

Is it working yet?

new phone but....

Friday was this "family day thingy" so instead of going off at 5.30pm as per usual, we could go off at 5pm.

I was slightly nervous that the courier won't be able to deliver my hp to me before 5 and I have to wait and waste precious mintues in office instead of out gallvanting! hahaha...

The courier came at about 4pm. Wah! Happy. Happy! Can go off on time and have new hp to play already.

I guess, it's time to reveal which model I've bought. Nokia 6300.

=/ Not really a phone of my choice. But then again, at the rate of $168, what more can I ask?

Personally, don't quite like Nokia hp's anymore... looks ugly and bulky, but this model is really quite slim. Live with it lar especially when my V3i was only less than 18 months old...

And you know what's the most ironic thing?!?

Turns out that it's not my V3i that is faulty, it's my SIM card!!! Argh!!! I put in the SIM into the 6300 and it doesn't work then tried it on hubby's hp and it don't work too!

No wonder my V3i is giving me problems! arggh!!!

Called up Singtel and requested for a new SIM card last night at close to 10pm and this morning at 10am, they deliver the new SIM to me!Very efficient, I must say.

So now, I have a brand new 6300 which I wasted my $ on coz my V3i is working fine! ARGH!!!!!!!!!

My sis actually called me "Stupid" coz I din check my hp. But the thing is, "Hello! The silly SIM in INSIDE the hp lor, how would I know INSIDE the hp, SIM card also can spoil?"

Wah lau eh.

*Bish* Waste my $$$...and now, kena bond for another 2 years with a hp that is not really to my liking... hai...

Thousand and ONE things to buy...

More purchases...
CARE Pre-makeup Cream... supposed to be very very good as a make up base sorta thing... Not sure... try and I will know. =)Black-head Remover Brush... need I say more? -_-"Y-shaped Cell Roller to remove all those fats... I guess... something like a manual Zap Zap??? Or rather, a Roll Roll?

hahahaha..

Bday lunchie

Celebrated Bro's bday in Soup Restaurant earlier today. And to solve everyone's transport issue, we just go to the branch in the hub.

Call me sua ku la.. But really, have never been into any Soup Restaurant before lor.

We had quite few dishes... what "Ah Gong" veg, some ribs, sliced fish and also Mee Sua... Not bad la.. But not fanastic... Don't really like.

But! I must say their "Samsui Chicken" is very very good!!! Nice!! Smooth white chicken dipped into the home made special ginger sauce, either wrapped in lettuce or eaten plain... Woah! Shiok! Very nice!Must go back and eat again. Really like it.

But hor, not cheap lei. Just the 3 of us, costs slightly over $80. Once a while it's ok la, but cannot eat often. Too expensive.

Really jia liat lei... This afternoon is such a good lunchie... later this evening is another good dinner coz going for dinner with Hubby at Chef Chan's... How not to grow fat huh?

Woo HOO!!!

I've finished my one and only paper yesterday night!! WOO HOO!!!! Now is the time for me to E-N-J-O-Y!!!!

WOO HOO!!!!

Away with you... now!

Finally can say "bye" to the sucky hp of mine!

Got a new HP online already. Waiting for delivery now. Thank God!

seems like it

that my V3i is gonna die a premature death after all...

The whole of today, it just keeps shutting down, start up again, down, up, down and up again and again.

I cannot even type 1 sms in peace!!! Argh!!! Halfway, it will restart. Over and over!!!

Even when I just leave it there, clam shut, it can restart by itself!

It's driving me crazy!!!

And I cannot even trade in, coz it's so horribly cheap now. $100! Bleh!!!

Worse of all, the hp's now are so ugly, I cannot even find 1 that I like!

ARGH!!!!

ohh... Mr Postman, I've been waiting

Woke up at 8.30 am in my eagerness to receive my bag from Mr Postman. Was so eager to get it and so afraid that I'll miss him that I can't get to sleep. Serious!

But waited till 10++am and he's still not here, so no choice, had to wake up hubby to get him to wait for the post while I go do some marketing.

Came back, and he's still NOT here! =(

And he finally came at 2.30pm, just minutes after I woke up from my nap, by then, hubby has already gone to CTK for the last session of the Guided Prayer. I took the time to do some read up for my exams and also did some hse work before going to meet hubby for mass.

Will be hitting town later for the "sale that is worth waiting for". Hopefully, can get some good buys!

another...

I'm shopping again...

Title says it all, ain't it??

This time, my spurge, (well, not really a spurge!) is from the spree. (again!)

"Charming Cat Mascra"Some Reviews
1. "查家 (the one we're spree-ing for) 这边的特点是比较浓密，拉长效果一般。安家的纤长效果很显著，浓密效果一般。但两家共同的特点是都根根分明！"
2. "我也是跟风买了两支查名一猫,真是超赞啊!好用的不得了!一整天不会晕开,卸装时直接用清水就能很轻易的洗掉，而且洗时不会变成大熊猫."
3. "小猫洗起来非常的容易, 都没有用专门的卸妆水,只是用了洗面奶就洗的很干净了.还有哦, 有一次我无意识的揉眼,后来才意识到涂了睫毛膏.赶紧照了镜子,怕自己变熊猫~~ 结果让我大大的开心~~~一点都没有揉下来唉,眼睛边上一点都没有花~~~~总而言之呢, 好用,干的快,不容易晕妆,洗的方便."
4. "虽然这款是不防水的，但除非洗脸，或者大哭，不然是不会变熊猫的。卸妆的时候也很方便，温水配合一般洁面产品就可以轻松卸掉了，不用专门的卸装产品，非常方便！"
5. "刷上它后的感觉比娥佩兰调量最浓密的那个格就是8-10的那个调量格还要好呢，今天上午去单位，大家都问我睫毛膏在哪买的，带没带着，我就好高兴啊！因为以前总是羡慕人家的睫毛又长又翘的，我就一直寻找好用的睫毛膏，这次终于被我找到了，呵呵~今天的心情格外的好啊！决定以后要一直用它，再也不换了！"

For those who don't understand Chinese, the reviews are by people who are very satisfied with this mascara. Said the mascara does indeed help to lengthen and thicken the eyelashes, and at the same time, not clumping the eyelashes. Every eyelash is clearly defined. Also, this mascara is easily washed off with just normal make-up remover + water. Although its easily washable, you won't have panda eyes unless you wash your face or really cry buckets of tears. =P

Sounds so good right? So, of course must try! Some more so cheap. Only $3! CHEAP!

And I got this too.

"Palgantong Make-up Theatrical Powder"What you see is what you get. From the item, I mean. Of course, colour wise, may have slight difference...hey! It's a risk I'm willing to take!

Description: Theatrical powder from Korea is made up of Ceramin ingredient from the UK. The size of particles is just half of the other particles. It reflects more light from your skin to even the tone with natural appearance. Thin and comfortable, brightens your skin just like a Movie Star. Hence, it is also called “Star Powder” in Japan and Korea. Over these 10 years, this powder is commonly used in Korean Movies, TV programmes and dramas. Over 5,000,000 powders were sold in Japan, as No.1 loose powder in Japan.

Anyway, don't get the idea that I'm overspending ok, my loose powder is running low and out and it already costs me easily over $20 to get it from Body Shop. If this one works and IF it works on me, I can be saving so much more on cosmestics!!

Tell me, where on earth can find loose powder at slightly just over $5?! Somemore, highly recommended, "Best Selling" product in Korea and Japan?

And the best of the best, these 2 items add up, inclusive of shipping AND postage, it's still a dollar short of $10!!!

1 word.

C-H-E-A-P!!!


p.s pictures and descriptions with curtesy from Eden Rose.

food. Food. FOOD!

Just came back from lunch with Irene and woo hoo... boy was it a good lunch!!

And this was just the set lunch. We had the main course of Cream of Mushroom, Breaded Fish, Ice peach tea, a single scoop of Chocolate Ice cream topped off with free flow of home made goodness bread.

All these for just a mere $9.50 nett!

Darn shiok and worth!

I'm still buying.

I'm still buying. Buying. BUYING!

Think I'm really be in trouble soon looking at the way I spend. Spend. SPEND! I probably should enroll myself into so 'implusive buying club in an attempt to stop myself from buying any more. =(

And my latest buy is this wonderful crytstal eyelash gadget that guaratees you to have longer, thicker eyelashes IMMEDIATELY. Sort of like a template for the eyelashes. I've no problems with the upper eyelash, but it's those undereye lashes that's proving to be a challenge. Hope this little thing can safe me, or rather my eyelashes.

I've also placed reservation for this. Face Rollers.

Guaranteed to give me a smaller slimmer face IF I use it dilligently.

I actually got reserved 2 pieces. 1 for my sis, whose always complaining that her face is round and fat. SO, I assume, if it can work on her, it will on me, after all, my face is already smaller than hers! hahahaha... But then again, she's younger, her skin elasticity, collagen and whatever-else-there-is is more so maybe the effect is more obvious?

Anyway, it's just a reservation. Not even sure, if there's stock. So, wait and see ba.

I actually wanted to get this also! Eye Glitters!

But the colour I wanted is already sold out. So, no choice lor. Cannot buy. But, I guess, it's also good, save money lor.

Before, you start screaming "buy so many things, waste $$$!" Let me say this, all the above costs just slightly over $2! Eye glitters is slightly over $3. Now, tell me, where can I find a store locally that still offers me change from a $10 note (which I probably go for 2 or even 3 Mac Ice Cream Cones!), having buying 1 of each item for myself IN stores?

Cannot find right?

SO! By doing my shopping online and thru sprees, I'm actually saving precious Vitamin M okie! =D

erm... not bad lei.

Hubby went to met his MM friends for don't know what discussion and I din feel like eating outside food.

So in 30 mins, I came up with dinner for myself!

Quite proud of myself lei! haha.. coz there was almost nothing at home for me to experiment with.

So I just boil some pasta, throw in some sliced mushrooms. Topped it off with basil leaves and bacon bits, too lazy to even steam the chicken wings, just wrapped it in foil and throw into the oven for 20 mins. Went to bathe and VOILA!
A pity that there was no veggies at home. Else it would have been a rather balanced and healthy meal! I was afraid to stain the table, so being the lazy me, just shifted the existing reading materials to form the base. hahaha... really is very super duper lazy.

But ok la, how wrong can I go with the above anyway?

I'm the Best.

Had the last class tonite and the tutor was sort of going thru the last TMA.

As usual, he will give out "kit kat" awards to those who done well, improve most, most quotable quote, best written etc etc... Usually, there'll be a whole lot of kit kats being handed out.

I stared at the board and was rather sad to not see my name but Mer's name was there. Good for him! He got the most consistent and improvement kit kat.

But since today was the LAST class of the module, the tutor have a special award for the best student.

Well, quote and unquote him "The best student may not have the best results but is overal participation and for this, I have the "Cookie Award".

I was one of those who laughed out loud.

Imagine my suprise when I saw my name on that board?!

So yes, I'm the proud owner of the "Cookie Award" Jan 07, 151, Media. =)

My COOKIES from the "Cookie Award"

Which I shared with my classmates during the break, w/o them I cannot be the 'best' right? And it was fun sharing food.

I would like to thank my parents, my hubby for giving me the support and blessings. Of course not forgetting, Sattish, the tutor who kindly gave me the award....

Chocolates

I've been receiving lots of chocolates recently. =D

Sak came back from Aust and got me this. My sis knowing that I'm a snacker and in love with chocolates gave me this. Which looks like this before I bite into it... A long dark stick which screams "bite me!" "BITE ME NOW!!!"

Which looks like thiswhen I bite into it. INNER and OUTER coats of chocolates! Shiok tilll..... wah lau... Cannot describe the feeling mannz.

And I still have another 2 half eaten boxes of Meiji chocolates lying somewhere around in the house waiting for me to slowly savour it!

No wonder, every single time, my mom sees me, she insists that I AM pregnant when I'm 100% sure that I am not. =/

It's the after effects of too much chocolately goodness.

getting ready...

heeheee....

I'm getting ready for the wedding in June. Already got the money holder ready.

Guess where I manage to get it?

AMK Hub. NTUC!

'HA' right? But it's quite cute lei. Really!

I've already been keeping a lookout on money holder ever since YL told me that she's getting married and would like to invite us, but cannot find any nice ones... till I saw this today!
On the card.

A traditional picture of a chinese couple. I thought since her card is kind traditional, I wanna match her theme. hahahaha...

and the inside has both chinese and english wordings, which says all I wanna say.and the inside.

Yups... Best Wishes for a Wonderful Future!

a June wedding

Remember I was saying that I'm very happy with an upcoming wedding in June?

Well, we got the wedding invite recently. Nice right? Blame my photography skills for not giving the card it's full glory.

And I'm soooo happy for the couple!!!
I really like the card, I find it very pretty and unique, like a window opening up to reveal the details. So pretty and like there's surprises waiting within to be discovered!

I'm happy for her that she has gotton over that OBIL of mine and is ready to embrace her new life.

Will take lots of photos with her to show how pretty she is during the wedding!

The people these days...

...are really ironic.

I went for my facial earlier and while waiting for the bus home, this car stopped at the bus stop to let his passenger off. There's nothing wrong with that of course!

The only thing is, there were lots of traffic and the female passenger took her own sweet time in getting off the car! Blocked the traffic. Bleh! Then this is the inconvenient and frausting part.

This same lady then got onto the same bus as me. Good for her, she manage to get a seat and was happily enjoying her MP3 music, while I happily watched the repeat telecast on Mobile TV.

What happened next is darn darn irriating and so darn ironic!!!

She started talking on her HP and was speaking so loudly that the whole bus can hear her!!!

I stared at her and also shook my head. She saw it and guess what? She reported back to her friend on the other line saying...

"wah lau, there's this idiot who stared at me and then shook her head....how I know ar? Could be because I was talking abit too loudly.... what the hell... this is a public space, I can speak what I want and talk as loudly as I want...."

Hahahaha... I know she's referring to me, of course, coz I was the only person who stared at her. But I find it so ironic and so laughable!

She knows she's talking too loudly and this IS a public space and she carries on. hahahahaha...

The people on the bus can do the judgement on their own.

I rest my case.

Lame, DAMN LAME

Are you aware that "Seiyu" has now closed down and taken over by some I-don't-know-what-company?

And the company has renamed "Seiyu" into "BHG"??

And do you know what "BHG" stands for? I bet you don't.

It stands for "Be Here for Good things"

L-A-M-E!

SUPER Duper LAME.

I read from an article, that the Japanese sold Seiyu to Captial land and they in turn sold to some China company.... which later renamed it to this damn lame, obiang and don't make sense name.

Seiyu sounds just fine... now it sounds soooo cheapo!

*faints*
