Ms Oh Ba Ka

Last Saturday when Hubby and me were on our way to Clara's First Month Celebration at her parent's nest, we met this little boy in the lift.

He was staring at us in the lift and then I just waved and teased him while I was hiding behind my big ass shades. (Remember me in my big ass shades?)

Then suddenly he blurted out "Oh Ba Ka..."

The parents burst into laughter. Hubby and I were stunned. We totally had no idea what it meant. Then the little boy pointed to me again and said "oh ba ka~~..."

We were still clueless.

It was till much later that say night while we were watching the Taiwan show, Guess, Guess, Guess then it suddenly it hit me!

"Orh Bak Ka!"

Blue Black!!!

The little boy must have meant that I look like I was blue and black in my eyes!

Life's a bore

Sorry for the lack of updates...I really haven't feel up for updating since the most interesting thing that ever happened is the so damn hot weather that fluctuates between raining in the mornings and then turn to scorching hot in the afternoon. Or the simple thing of what to eat / buy for lunch and dinner.

Yups. I've fallen into THAT routine. Yeah. So no updates. I've no idea what to write at all. A jam of some kind most likely.

I'm in the midst of being SUPER STUCK at my damn TMA (once again!) feeling damn pissed off already. What stupid piece of TMA it is anyway!

Not to mention, first lessons for this semester starts tomorrow, twice a week, for 6 weeks. Which falls RIGHT smack into my 2nd wedding anniversary next Monday.

Yups.

PERFECT!

No presents, no celebrations, no relaxation, no romance BUT a 3 hour lesson on some Law thingy!

hai...

Dedicated to food...

I've really been eating loads these days...

Started off with innocent looking Claypot Hor Fun which is sold at the coffeeshop oppoiste TMC. Which hubby, myself, Vic, his wifey, Ah Toh and Cin went for dinner after going to see the little princess Clara and Mommy Wise.

I really like the amount of vege that's in this claypot. Lots of greens, mushrooms and also baby corn. After eating most of the vege and meat, I can't finish the hor fun at all and I think I left almost half a pot lying there in the end.

Then this is "san lau hor fun" which is all white. Served with fish slices and beansprouts. I've never been a fan of beansprouts, but after tasting this version of hor fun, I like sprouts now!This is available at the coffeeshop at AMK Block 151 or somthing like that. Besides this hor fun, they served rather good fish soup. THICK pieces of fish meat in milky soup, which is sooo filling and healthy and especially good for cold rainy days! I also love their "xia jiang zi", prawn paste chicken. Crispy and fragant. Ate once and been craving for it ever since!

Then, there is the Mutabak that is available at one of the coffeeshops near our nest.


Their prata to their brani to mutabak... wah... sedap lor!!! Obviously, 1 is too much for each of us, so we shared.

I guess the uncle is quite sweet la, he cut the pieces real small for me lei! Other times when it's hubby who buys, it's usually in 9 or max 12 pieces. But look at my mutabak. It's at least 20 small pieces by the looks of it!

EVERY last crumb is gone and we also finished their curry.

The skin is thin and crispy, while inside is fluffy and flavourful. Definitely, one of my favourite stall when I go there for my meals. Just that not very healthy to be eating this all the time, so I try to limit myself to once a fortnight or so.

Though hubby seems to prefer their brani with mutton. Acutally, I like it also. But to have it for dinner, too heavy. Especially, after eating, we'll go home to bathe and then just nua in front of the TV or our respective PC....

That bit of my stomach is almost screaming "muder" already!

Better go easy on all these food.

And a few weeks back, hubby and I had dinner at Hub, foodcourt and I had this Grilled Sotong with some green rice. Tastes pretty good. Except that I was wearing white, and I was sooo afraid that I'll flick some of the sauce on my new F21 white top!

I guess, by now, half the Singaporeans have already eaten the new Cheesy Pizza from Pizza Hut. The one that you actually pick one small piece of crust, pull and watch the cheese stretch and stretch and still stretches and then dip into the melted cheese thingy?

But hubby and I being very sua ku, we really have not tried it before. So one fine Saturday (which I cannot remember which fine Saturday now), we decided to try it. Reason being, the stall I wanted to try is jammed pack full and Pizza Hut had a new outlet in J8, which was almost empty. =/ So we had this... Rosemary Chicken Cheesy Pizza with the melted cheese, ready for our choosing, pulling and dipping.

Which by the way, the cheese REALLY stretches...
and stretch and stretch! Finally hubby used a fork to break the stands and I could then do the dipping part.

Before popping it into my mouth. It was HOT!!! =/ Burned my tongue and it was good! We had a 4 piece hot & spicy drumlets (a must have if I go Pizza Hut) soup, drinks and this small pizza.

But between the 2 of us, we cannot finished, we had to tapow the remainder of 2.5 pieces (.5 coz the crust had all been choosen, dipped and popped. Left only the chicken and things on a thin slice of bread) home. Which is just as well coz I wrapped it up in foil and had it toasted for 10 mins or so for our breakfast before heading to CTK for our Sunday Mass.

On Monday, Ah Teck (my office roomie) delievered my orders of mooncakes...and it took up more than 50% of my table! and costs me a total of $150!! Total of 7 boxes, 2 for my PIL (1 traditional with yolk and 1 mixed seeds), 2 for my own parents (1 yam with yolk and 1 mini yam) and another 2 for myself (1 yam with yolk and 1 durian). The last box was Irene's. Which by now, I only have 1 box left at home.. Coz hubby and me have been feasting on it.... =(

So, don't you agree that I've really been eating wayyyyyy too much?! =(

And!!! I'm dying to go and try out this new eating place which just opened in J8 too!

The Wan Chai tea house!

It's very very packed! I lost my patience and courage when I saw the throng of people waiting and milling outside the eatery. =(

new image?

I just had my long messy grass, that I call "hair" brutally chopped off last night after work. This time, it is still rather similar except that the front is really, really short now. Meron (my hair stylist) kind of like split the fringe into the inner and outer layer, and the inner layer was only a miserable 1cm sticking out from my forehead when I stole a peak last night. (Not easy to look when someone cutting your fringe and the stray short ends flying all over, mostly directly into your eyes lor.) And I must admit, I got quite worried when I saw it.

But HEH!!! When the whole thing is done... woo hoo... I like. Short, sassy, punky look! Refreshing change to my look. I like. Sis's hair also quite nice. If only my hair is not as curly, then I can cut the same style. But anway, Meron is good, she cut something to suit me and my hair texture. I like!
Then this morning, as I was walking towards a Secondary School in my shades and I was wearing a black racer with brown pants with my jacket thrown over my bag... Going for a talk that they invited us to be present, so cannot wear too casual and bare lor.

A guy driving past me in his car stopped and horned me! I thought he needed some directions or something so I approached him lor. Then he started to introduce himself to me! I was surprised beyond words! Before he could finished, I just told him, "sorry not interested."

If you are that guy who goes by the name of "John" sorry la, not I want to be so abrupt. But I was too surprised! And also, on thinking back, I should have told you, "I'm married" rather than what I replied you la. But at that moment, all that I could think off was not interested la.
Having said all these, it still feels shiok to know that besides hubby, there are some other men(man) who still feel and think that I'm attractive enough! Shiok!

Anyway, that's the end to my little encounter that I had with this Mr John of I don't know where la.

I know women tend to feel very good when a man (relatives, husband or otherwise) pays her a compliment and yesterday I had another one! SOOO happy! Can se that I'm relieving the moment? Play-acting out in my office. (When no one was around la, of course!)

And I recalled I was in the in-house printers yesterday, asking them to do something for me. A colleague was there before me already and when I can reach an agreement with the printers, I told them I need to talk to my mgr before I can commit. The colleague wiped out his phone and dialed my mgr's number and then I managed to say what I need to say and my mgr ended the conversation with "How come you using Colleague's XXX handphone?" I just replied, I left my hp in office. Guess what my mgr said?

"No choice la, pretty girl is like that wan, sure have people to help you"

I replied cheekily, "Ya lor, I also think so!"

Think my mgr was ready to faint there and then lor. Though on hindsight now, my mgr made me sound like such a bimbo... gosh. All I can say is, BIMBO, I'm NOT! And I was just re-telling hubby about this funny and cheeky conversation this morning as we prepared to go out and then I met Mr John....

Sure made my day =)

Me again, without my big-ass shades in my new hair style. Nice?

Cool, stylo milo right? Actually I already tonned down... last night when Maron was first done, it was wayyy more PUNK!
I think I tonned down coz I don't know how to style my short crop the way she does la.

1st TMA for the sem

Submitted the first TMA for this sem about 2 hours ago... and I'm so glad that it's done. That assignment is tough! But after looking at the TMA 2 and TMA 3, I think TMA was simple. >.< I think this time, I'm going to really suffer already.

I really kind of regret that I did not go for the waiver exam early this year when I first enrolled. But it's not because I did not want to, rather it was because I was working that Saturday and cannot go.

Anyway, NO point thinking back, just continue to do my best and hopefully the tutor will be more lenient with the marks and then I can clear this silly Uni Cor module.

Come to think of it, I think this is my first TMA that I submitted so late! I usually try to submit my TMA by the late evening in order not to run the risk of having network congestion or what nots... Must strive harder to submit my TMA early and on time in future. Acutally, I had completed the TMA way in advance, just that I was not too sure on how to do the referencing, was waiting for my friends to complete so I can refer to their referencing. Also, I had kickbox so, by the time I was done with dinner and a shower, it was close to 1130 hrs that I submitted and the dateline is 2359 hrs of 7 Sep!

Enough senseless ramblings of silly TMA. Don't want to think of it anymore now that I've submitted and also the system has been programmed to stop receiving...

I just finished reading the TB for tomorrow's Cor lesson of "Action Learning". The book was not really simple to read but then I still manage to finish it. And for that, I think I really deserve a pat on my back! Have been reading it for days, doing a chapter a night. Something like that. Anyway, there's no point in just reading and not practicing. I'm hoping that during the lesson tomorrow, there's some practical parts to it, so whatever that I've read will have a deeper impression in my brain. =/

By the way, before Kickbox, I popped into Sasa since I was so early and I was so tempted to get more masks!! But thinking of Israel and also the boxful of masks I still have... I gave it a miss. I wanted to try the eye masks la.

And thank God, I did not buy any! Coz one of the girls bought a box and she shared it with me. Best of all, she knows someone working in Sasa and she manage to get a very good discount for the exact same eye mask I was eyeing!

Woo-hoo!!!

So instead of paying close to $5 a piece for the eye mask, I paid like $3++ for a piece. Almost a $2 savings PER piece lei!!! So happy can?!

Haven't try it yet, but will do it next week since I've just done eye mask last night. And I think, to maintain my eyes, it's time to call it a night and guai guai go to bed.

I still have lessons tomorrow...opps! I mean later at 2.30pm. Poor hubby got to clean the house all by himself already. And the poor thing is working on Sunday 3pm - 8pm too!

Poor me also... will hardly get to spend time with hubby too. =(

I'm back but very tired.

Have been so super busy for the last few days, weeks maybe, and I don't even have the mood to blog about anything though I felt I have loads to say!

Anyway, too tired to write much just that I've manage to sell that purple dress which I'm not able to fit in, to a lady by the name of Mary. Well, Mary, I hope you will like this dress as much as I did. But more importantly, I hope you can fit in. Bye Bye Dress. I do like you, but you so short, I cannot fit inside. SO too bad. I still have a similiar in grey, waiting to be sold. =/

Then my new supervisor who is quite the accessories creator gave me a pair of earrings yesterday and it looks like this. Quite nice hor? She actually gave me a pair in Blue and Black before, but I seldome wear coz I'm just too lazy to bring out the various ones in my storage box.
