Finally! GSS

Actually, GSS has started for more than a week and yet, I have not gotten anything interesting at all for myself or for my hse. But LOOK at our purchases for today alone!!!

So.. today, after 2 super hot days at home, we decided to hang in town, at least the air-con is FOC even if we have to battle it out with the crowds! It's still worth it.

SO after mass, we had lunch at AMK S11 with some friends then it's off to town we go. =) Hubby needs to collect some itmes at Specialist Centre. NOT mine ok, ALL hubby's!
So we went there 1st, dropped by John Little. So boring, soooo auntie and the air con seems to be not working. Nothing to buy. So we went to Robinsons instead. Once we went in.. wah... Cool air greeted us. GOOD! More expensive place tat's y the air also cooler. Went to the household and believe me, we spent at least 2 hours lingering at the linen and bedsheets. And wat did we get?? A fitted sheet set + 2 pillow cases.. (can't get a good pic here, coz my sucky HP cam din manage to get it) which costs us $$119!! I can't believe it.. Darn ex.. but the material is good. Hope it is really soooo good. *sigh* We hv a problem wif out mattress coz it's sooo thick tat we simply cannot find any to fit it. With this new 1.. hopefully it will. The colour is supposed to be green but my sucky cam... hai..

In addition to the fitted sheet, and have enough of those cheap covers that we owned that always seem to fall apart after washing, I manage to cajole hubby to buy 4 brand new cushion covers for our sofa.. Hopefully, these will be of better material and quality tat the edges won't frayed nor the stiches start coming out after a few wash! These are not cheap ok! A single piece of the "Golden Yellow" costs $13 while the other piece is $12+!! Basket, so expensive! Like these 4 pieces it's another $$50+ gone!! Seesh...

Also went to Marks and Spencer and bought these for myself.. *blush* Well, they were on sale and Emma highly recommended them. So how could I refuse? *hiak*hiak*

And after these alone.. we were hungry and tired. Went to the food court behind OG point to grab a bite. I was craving for the Thai food and since hubby have no where better to suggest going, we went there lor. Nice food, not that packed and we were able to sit down (after such a long day) to rest and enjoy and yak. Seems like yesterday that hubby was telling me abt his family and though we had this conversation many many times, we still enjoy telling each other about our relatives and cousins again and again. And after a good rest, the nearest place to go will be to OG lor. Haha...

Good choice that we went in leh, hubby manage to get a pair of jeans! Though he did go in and out of the fitting room many times, he finally decided to get this and also, it fits him lor. haha.. Now, my FIL don't have to nag us tat GSS is here, go get a pair of pants! haha.. Got a voucher to purchase a shirt at $28. But, yeeks! Those shirts are sooooooooo Uncle. Din get any. Went up stairs to the toys department and I don't know wat's with hubby these days. (Must be his colleagues, I supposed) He's so interested and excited about planes. But knowing hubby, too ex he won't buy la.. And we saw this . Hubby was elacted! He was like a boy having Christmas early. Stood there for a long time, all the time telling me abt the plane. Then we moved on to cars and BACK to the plane again! And since he was eying planes for such a long time, and it was only $10 so we got it as well. His face literally LIT up!

So after all the buying spree, this time, we ARE really tired. We were wondering to take MRT or take bus back.. then we decided to take a slow walk to Scotts to catch 54. But before that, we will drop by Delifrance to spend the last of our $10 voucher on cuppa.


Happy hubby wif his cuppa.

Since they were closing soon, we also made our way to the bus stop after the rest. Great, eventful and happy buying day!! =)

Dang dang tang dang!

Congratulations to Jacob and Eunice! =)

Attended the wedding mass this morning. Thank God, Debraoh came to fetch us at our hse to go to SFX for the mass. After we reached the church, gosh.. it's soooooo deep far in, if hubby and me were supposed to come for the wedding ourselves, think we will not come lor. haha..

Nice church. Big and pretty. Bride.. ok lar.. groom also ok lor. haha.. Had lunch wif the few of the RCIA ppl and also Fr Yim. Then we are on our way back home again in Debra's car.

Once we reached home, changed out then we start to do some chores, vaccumm, mopping and also washing of the clothes. Coz I was thinking since the sun is soooo strong and hot, great to sun our clothes and that leaves us free tomorrow! =)

But rather tiring to do everything lor. haha.. finally settled down to wach more VCD and for dinner, I was too lazy to cook, we tapow from the coffee shop while still glued to the TV.. this time watching XMen.

Lazy hubby, MC me.

well, nothing much to blog about except that I'm still on MC and lazy hubby took today off claiming to spend time with me. ha!

More likely, he just can't bear the thought that he has to wake up early to go to work while I can sleep in! So we both stayed home.

IT'S SUCH A SUPER HOT DAY!! Gosh.. cannot take it.

Even when the windows, fans and doors are wide open, we are still hot! hOt!! HOT!!! Spent the good deal of the day watching my VCD. Not bad the show. But a tad "too good to be true" in my opinion.

Despite my MC status, I still managed to cook porridge for lunch and make pasta with potatoe salad and green salad for dinner.

MC

Had already been under the weather since yesterday morning. But coz there is a school visit coming in the afternoon, I decided to hold off gng to the doc till today. Also.. like this can hopefully get 2 days MC. Then can get long weekend, some mre, I have already told Chua BK that I'm taking 5 Jun (coming Monday) off in lieu of the polling day on 6 May. =) Hmm... come to think of it, think I forget to tell my SEG(M) boss. Nvm, tml sms him.

And when I went to the Doc this morning, she really gave me 2 days of MC! I realldon't know to be happy or to be sad. Haha.. yar, getting 2 days of MC is great! But JUST coming back to SEG and sick... think not so good lor. But doc did say that, alot of ppl down wif sore throat, flu and cough. Cause of this? Air born. Chey! By saying that means, cannot prevent lor.

I think the doctors are earing alot these days. By the time I reached the clinic at 8.20 am (latest) I was already the 8th in queue!! Gosh.. There are just so many sick cats now. And the doctors themselves din even come in till close to 9 am! Gosh, waited for 30 mins before the doc comes and another 15,20 mins before it's my turn. Just that few mintues wif her and I am poorer by $35! Gosh.. Definately NOT cheap. But then again, after claiming $10 fm co, it's only $25 and for such a SUPER LONG weekend, I'd say it is WORTH it lor. haha.. Receipt for me to claim the miserable $10 and the precious MC for today and tomorrow. =)

Then went to the market and did my marketing for next week coz I think this weekend no time to do it, with a morning wedding mass on Sat and regular mass on Sunday and since I was already at the market, decided to go and do it on the way home. Just the regular meat and veg already costs $16.. Goodness.. And I din even buy seafood nor fruits! Hai.. things are expensive. Bought some bread and also a can of Tou Hua with soya beans for me to fill my stomach before eating the medication.

After that, then prepared to go to SA to meet Godma and bro for lunch for a belated birthday celebration. Went to Hans in Thomson Plaze. Not sure if it is I lost my sense of taste of if the food is really getting bad. My Grilled Fish Dory is really quite bland and yucks.. OILY. Bleh!!! The soup was not too bad bit the garlic toasts...another BLEH! Coffee was too swt too. And as usual, after lunch, we will sit there and yak lor. Till it's almost time, bro sent us all back to Godma's office in SA and we yakked some mre. Haha.. Stayed there for an hour or so, and when we heard the thunder outside, we decided to scot as I still need to go to J8 to get somethings. Luckily, bro passed by J8 on his way back to office, so he was able to get me a lift there.

First and moremost, a visit to the Ladies.. haha.. coz sore throat mar, drank lotsa water, then after tat to the GV to get tickets for our pre-agreed movie treat. We're gng to watch X-Men3: The Last Stand in Marina coming Monday! Hope it will be nice!

Then went to Poh Kim and Fancl, bought a whole load of things..
Does'nt look much right? heehee... But coz all the pics were taken with my sucky HP camera, can't really see wat I bought right? Well, here comes the list:
1) A box of VCD: "Devil by my side" (Highly recommended by Godma)
2) Fancl items... inclusive of tonner, make up base, eye gel and supplements for more moisture for skin.
That's all I bought and the whopping costs is $176.90!!! Goodness!
And I also bought a lanyard for myself coz we were given the thumbdrive but I need a string if not, may just loose it easily. But u know wat happened?? I threw the landyard AWAY!! *SHIT* Coz I left it in another plastic bag and I accidentally throw it away! SUCKS!!! And it costs me $4.95!! Sad sia..

Hai... but before I left J8, I went to GNC to pick up my membership card. I thought it doesn't look too bad.

Finally, after all the errands and purchases it's time to head home, by now, I am already experiencing a giddy spell (cld be the med tat is supposed to be drownsy) and in a terriable need of water. Luckily stopped raining and my bus came pretty fast too! Was home in less than 10 mins. Took my shower and then settle down to watch my new box of VCD, munch on bread and took the 2nd dosage of medicine. As I was watching the show, I did my nails with the new polish I got from TheFaceShop. Colour is quite nice.. but somehow... on my fingers... it does not look good at all!! I decided that 1 of these days, I will go and get that purple 1 I was eyeing. verdict: Nah!! Not nice :( After finishing the 2 disc, I dozed for a while and then got ready to go to my parents' plc for dinner. Usual, simple fare, nothing much.

And as hubby and I come home, guess what was in store for me in the letterbox?
A "package" fm TCC, my guess is tat it's either the membership card or some kinda promotions they having.
And true to my guess, it's THE membership card. Just in 1 day, I got 2 cards! Got to find a place in my card holder for them soon. membership card fm TCC looks exactly like their temp card! Only the material is different.

Now, though it's already 11pm+, I'm still quite awake... the drowsy med don't seem to be that sleepy after all. Or maybe, I am kan cheong to watch the "Devil" drama?? Anway... hubby has been walking over to my side pretty often.. think I will go sleep after all.. since I am supposed to be on MC.. So it's good to equip my body with lotsa rest for it to heal.

Nighty night then!

200

Without realising it, this is my 200th post! Woah.. Quite something I think. haha.

A few days ago.. the co gave us each a new toy to play with... weather it's for us to play with or to make us work harder, I don't know. But the sucks part is, this little guy here is on loan to us only hor!

Had been so busy with school visits day in day out. Finally this is the last day of the school visits for this month! Anyway, today is the last day of the month of May. But at least come June, it is the school holidays there won't be any of this kinda visits anymore till later part of the year. But sometimes, JUST sometimes, when the teachers or students sincerely show their appreciaation for the effort that we have put in for them, then I do feel that my time and energy spent is not so wasted after all. Like take this case, this.. the teacher who pushed so hard to organised this din even turn up! And just left 6 BO CHAP teachers with 240 SEC 2 kiddies with us! I was sooooo darn pissed I tell you. And to make matters worse, we had another school coming in on the same day but at a different timing.

It would definately make me feel much better if the teacher showed that she appreiciates! Gosh.. These teachers simply treat us as their dumping ground! Just give us those that they want out of school into here and we BB-sit the kiddies. Think also angry.

Today is also another classic case. The teacher called and says 80 students coming. After I checked asking her, sure, during holidays? She said yes, coz careers day, sure to come back.. then a wk ago called.. NO, emaaile me to say reduce to 25!! What the ****! Treat us as what? We got to waste manpower and things to c them also leh. Sme mre this school is not our neighbourhood school all the way in the East!! I told her, not possible for such a small group. She called back and says 60. AND, the final figure? 31! Basket!! Really darn pissed!!!

(And it doesn't help that Sak is on MC and I am under the weather, and who came to save the day?! PAUL TAN!!!) Gosh... I could go on and on bitching abt how these horrible teachers and schools make me feel.

It's either I need a change of environment or I am really really really pissed!!

moi, THE complaint queen

Feeling like a god damn complain queen this morning!

First I had to call up SINGTEL to tell them (again!) to cancel the Open Mobile thingy which I have called up months ago to cancel and when I receive my bills they are still charging me!! Pissed! They don't understand the meaning of "CANCEL"???

Next, I had to call up the Shirley of Town Council! I don't know what's wrong with either the sweepers or myself. There's alwasy uncleared rubbish at the corridor at ny doorstep. The sweepers are supposed to sweep the floor on alternate days! Then wat's with the soft drink can outside my unit for a week??!

Basket. Gets me into a foul mood!!!

N i'm not feeling in the best of health. My sore throat is worse now. Cld not sleep last nite, actually my sore throat was worst at night. When I'm in office now, it's better! strange huh? But starting to have abit of runny nose. *sigh*

OOoo... 1 mre to go.

Just remembered that I have a little velvet coin purse from M)Phosis in my collection too.

Here's a pic. =) Bought this during the Isetan Private Sale earlier this year together with Godma.

NOT again?!

Gosh!!! This is crazy. Either the shoes quality are darn lousy or that I really did LOTS of walking!

Would you believe it? I spoilt my shoes again. THIS is gonna be a record, 2 pairs of shoes spoilt 1 day after the other!! Same brand, same model just different colours!!

ARGG!!! Now I don't have a black covered toes flats!!

hmmm... But on 2nd thoughts, I think this pair of shoes already showed signs of 'tiredness' I think I saw the sole opening up some time ago but I din really pay attention to it.. So all in all.. This pair of shoes lasted me for close to 4 months. I guess, I got to be thankful for it.. after all, this pair of shoes was like less than $18!!

my M)phosis collection

Suddenly just occured to me that, I owned quite a few of M)phosis bags.

Let me do an introduction>? haha.. as follows (counter clockwise)
1) Black / White lacy sexy handbag. (Latest collection)
2) Black card holder with purse
3) Black tissue & $ holder
4) Tissue Bag
5) Silver handbag (perfect for dinner)
6) Black handbag for almost every occassion except for formal dinners

There you have it. All my M)Phosis bags.. I still have another 2 tops from them. But I seldome wear coz Hubby says it's too revealing. Sucks.

hurmpf!

Early this morning, I had to wake up earlier than usual coz I was going to prepare the soup for dinner.

Well, we are going to have chinese corn soup tonite =) so had to wake up earlier to prepare the veg and meat and throw all into the slow cooker. And by the time we go home tonite, we have a pot of hot steaming corn soup.

Then all I need to do is just fry the french beans and the chicken wing, cook rice and we can settle down to dinner.

All seems well yeah? Only thing is, this morning, I missed saying bye to hubby. =(
and I broke my pair of shoes, a pair that I've NEVER EVER worn before!! Sucks!!!

Yet... another wedding invite

Ok.. Well, we've been expecting this.. how not to when we are already given the roles and duties and I have even bought my clothes for the wedding? haha.. don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining rather ALL geared up and excited over her wedding. =)

Well.. here's how the card looks like.

Lynn designed the church invite herself and it was all done in colours. Quite pretty I must say. Though her pic seems abit of low res. Hurmph.. Must be I don't know how to appreciate coz she's a DESIGNER, she of course will know how to straighten it out.






Her invite is quite nice. But the envelope is the ugly thin PINK envelopes. Not very nice, thought it spoils the whole invite theme.


After looking at the church invite, I think I know why, the jie mei's choose "Lavender" at first. haha..

rants and raves

I don't have the habbit of penning things if hubby just irriates or upsets me slightly. I mean.. I only do that if we have a major arguement and I am darn pissed. After releasing it here, I feel so much better. As if there is really some1 who is listening. (Girls just need to be listened to) If I don't do that, then my life here is really gonna be M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E isn't it?

I just remembered somethings that happened on Thurs early morning. Wed nite, I went for kickbox and I was really tired out and thus I went to bed earlier than hubby. Hubby was still watching TV programmes and eating some of the snacks that I brought home fm office. Shortly after, he came into the bedroom and went to sleep too.. By then, I was already half asleep.

And all too soon, the alarm went off, coz I had a school visit early tat morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Took my shower, then as usual, went to the kitchen for water etc. Then I realised, hubby forgot to off the ceiling fan from the nite before the moment I turned out of the room. Imagine the amt of electcity that is wasted? *sigh*

Then went to the kitchen and then I saw the plastic bag containing the snacks was left on the sink. Inside, still got 1 mre piece. *sigh*sigh* Why din he throw or keep? I was already getting abit pissed.. but then again, I reminded myself what Fr Robert told me during confession.. so I try to remain calm.

Went back into the bedroom with a big urge to shout and scream at hubby but he was sleeping.. so I kept telling myself.. cool down, cool down.. Early in the morning, shout at him not good. And I convinced myself that no husbands would like to wake up to a screaming wife! So I took it down with me.. Like a good wife should know when to say certain things. AND I AM convinced (by myself) that, THAT moment was not a good time!

So, surprisingly, I manage to calm down and went on my biz lor. Just as I was getting ready to go out, I even went to kiss hubby 'bye' and tell him "I Love U" before I left.

But! the moment I opened the door, I could feel my anger all coming back up!! COZ he din lock the gate!! Goodness!!! Not the 1st time it happened. AND I was trying sooooo hard to keep my cool.

Sometimes, I feel tat God is like trying to test me.. Here I am trying my very best.. and hubby got to do not 1 thing, not 2 things but 3 things that irriated me!! Gosh!!!

Either coz I was running late to work or the Holy Spirit is within me, I kept quiet and just went off to work. I din say a single word to anyone, not even to Godma nor Bro nor Trina. Later in the day till I saw hubby online then I told him. He apologiesed and though I was alittle upset. I let it go... and tat's all to it.

But last nite.. we went for the Accession Mass, I was just telling God that, I feel I did well on that day and that after we reached home, he got to irriate me with small things again. As I was taking off my accessories, he kicked me.. he claims to be accidental. But still! Painful lor. And he was laffing so hard when he apologise. Don't sound sincere to me at all lor.

Then he got to irriate me with the clothings hanging to dry let the water drip all over the floor.. and I almost slipped!

Then this morning, I noticed he din hang the clothes proberly.. so when the clothes are dried, they will be creased.

*sigh*sigh*sigh* I know all these are small things, but it's also these small things that get 1 down isn't it?

Getting married and staying married is 2 different story. Not easy. =(

more purchases =P

Tempations are simply too great to resists! Especially when ur dear friend offers to come all the way to your workplace to pick you up, send you home all the way to your doorstep and a willing colleague to cover your whereabouts!! haha...

Decided to go off fm work again to meet Trina and go shopping. =) I know this is very bad.. but shopping is such a big puling factor!!

And this time, I was on a quest for the M)phosis little hand held black/white lacy sexy bag that I saw in Robinsons with Trina the other day.

Basket!!! Should have bought it tat day when I was with her. She already specifically told me to get both. But *sigh* I thought it was a waste of $ to get 2 bags at the same time.. so I decided to go for the silver handbag instead of both. And when I went to Taka to get it earlier.. *sigh* NO discount at all!! I got to pay the full price for it!! Basket!! Really regretted not listening to her... *sigh*

Bu then again.. she says since I really like it then ok lor.. Yar, I know I really like it.. but still abit of waste $ lor. BUT, I still GOT it.

And coz I paid the full price, they gave me their signature nylon bag.


Pretty right?

Closer and sharper views...


can you guess what this it?


So in total, I spent $39.90 for both purchases. Sucks.. still regretting it! Should hv gotton it the 1s time I saw it.. and there was at 30% discount tagged to it.. which means I could have gotton the tisse and purse cover at less than $39.90 (which was what I paid for today!!!) *Double sucks*

Since, we were in the area, we dropped by Fancl House. I do need to get my Fancl itmes but they were not on sale. But the lady gave me their promotions for the month of June.. Took a quick look and VOLIA! Have found the items that I need and best part? They are having promotion on those items!

Next stop, Fancl House~ =)

How to slim down??

Was talking to Trina and sian lor... having a tummy really get the both of us down leh..

Is there a way to slim down effortlessly and un painfully? hai... my weekly kickboxing does not seem to have made me loose weight.. but i think toning.

Trina suggests getting this
to loose my tummy...

Maybe I should ask hubby to buy for me? hahaha

No stock

*sigh* should have listened to Trina and bought the black/white lacy sexy bag with the silver bag!!

Went to Robinsons just before my kickbox in the hope of getting the bag and *hai* no more..

Very sad =(

Nong nong day ahead..

Another nong nong nong day. (If you watch the auditions for the 2nd season of SG Idol, you'll know where this "nong" thing came about!)

Early morning had to receive students from BPS, there are here for some of the programs under the umbrella of "Learning@NYP". Then afternoon, students participants for the Discovery program.. and in a few minutes time to go for the certificate presentation for BPS again.

Gosh... so many things. Haven't had a proper rest since last week! Almost every day also have some sort of programs.

And I haven't even started on that monthly chart that I have to do for Chua BK!

Now thinking if I shd go for kickbox.. abit tired.. but growing fat. Joelle is not feeling well, so she won't be coming.. Think I better go ba.. if not.. cannot squeeze into that new pink/peach dress I bought.

*sigh*

And coz today was such a mad day.. guess what I had for lunch? Just a sandwich and a cuppa.. from the fast food canteen in campus.

We're attending a wedding =)

A few days ago, we reecived the invitation to a wedding mass to be held in

Well, the wedding date is set on 3 June 2006, Sat morning. Personally, I don't really like the design of the card. Abit 'orbit' but then again, different couples will have different likings and preferences lor.

Details of the wedding mass on Saturday.

Luckily, Debra said she will fetch us.. coz it's not convenient to get to SFX. =)

Kinda looking forward to the wedding, can c the 美美 bride and also meet up with a few of my RCIA mates. =)

And in the meantime, we are waiting for Lynn's invitation for her wedding.

shucks day...

Not a very good day after all.. *sigh* (E) boss met up with me this afternoon and then came all the things about wanting me to contribute more towards SEG(E). Want me to do a time frame of all the things that I have been doing etc etc etc... *sigh*

I don't know what or how I'm gonna do it but well, I WILL TRY!!

Ah Teck came back from US and he bought me some items. =)
Let's take a look, ya?
I have a MAC lipstick and a Statue of Liberty keychain bearing my name.
and a HUGE bag of chips!!

So... hm... not so bad after all lar hor.. haha.. got presents. =)

Lazy sunday..

Sunday! A day of relaxation and doing nothing. Usually, our Sundays are lazing in the living room in front of the google box after morning mass. But today, it's different! We spent the day here...


Can you guess where it is?? For the answer, mouse over the pic. =)

Had a really good afternoon wif, Ee May, Zhen Ling, Xiao Ming and also hubby. We just had our lunch and also coffee and spent the day chatting away. Good, relaxing afternoon. And coz it is in the shenton district, it was not crowded but there was a enough ppl to fill up the place. Think we spent the longest time there among all the other ppl who were there.

Managed to take a few shots before the waiter came over and says that photography is prohibited coz of the art pieces there. Think the rest of the ppl who were wif me, must be thinking that I am sooo sua ku..taking photos here and there.. haha
But heck care leh.. nv come to TCC before ma.. haha
Partial delivery of our orders..

We were not even aware, but since I paid by citibank card, there were 15% off the total bill. Which means, no GST and no service charge lor. haha.. so very happy and coz the total bill was already more than $90, I was able to apply for the LIFETIME membership card. Doesn't look too bad, ya?

After a long long afternoon there, we decided to go to Bugis for shopping, I wanted to go to PS coz I was thinking of gng to U.R.S to get that pair of heels I saw last nite when we were out shopping. Then suddenly remembered, there's another branch in Bugis also, so we went there happily.. But I was so clever this morning, already borrowed the membership card fm Emma in mass so can get discount. :P

Then I also remembered there's a "Swank" in bugis, so poor hubby, kena dragged to U.R.S then Swank and back to U.R.S coz I cannot find anything at Swank. So still decided to get the original pair that I saw at U.R.S.. and basket!! I remembered the wrong price. Thought it was $36.90 and was thinking with the 20% off, it will be less than $30.. but shucks!! It was $39.90.. hai... so even after the discount, I still got to pay $34 for this pair of heels. I think it looks quite pretty. =) What do you think?

My brand new pink and white heels.

In addition to the heels which I bought coz of the following reasons...
1) to match the pink dress that I'm gonna wear to Lynn's wedding
2) to replace my white pair of heels.

I also bought another skirt. $19!! Cheap. But material is quite thin.. NOt as good as the 'Sugarlink' I bought 2 weeks ago in ISETAN, but not too bad also lar. on 2nd thouhts, it looks like PJ's.. hmmm.. =S

*Sigh* I went for a confession today. The priest was Fr Robert. I confessed that I had broken a promise that I swear to keep secret but I broke that promise and I also confessed that I loose my temper at hubby very often. I thought Fr will harp more on my breaking a promise.. but instead he talked to me more on loosing my temper at hubby and also told me to ctrl, ctrl and to have good talks wif him instead.

Maybe to me, the main reason of gng for the confession is coz that I broke the promise and not on the issue wif hubby.. So I was quite taken aback when Fr spent so much time on it.

Fr Robert is right, we got married in church and I should do what the bible says. To respect my spouse and also to love him, honour him and to be his aid.

God, please, please help me to do better than this.

We're gng on a Holiday =)

Ealier today, hubby and I went to PS, carefour hoping to get the $10 shoe rack. Hubby says then it can make our hse, shoe area neater. I find that the rack is very ugly and not very keen. But since it's only $10 then we go n take a look. But being sooo lazy, by the time we reach PS was already 2.30pm and needless to say the shoe racks are all sold out since there's only 100 pieces. So we just walk around aimlessly.

Then hubby says go Marina Sq coz there are lucky draws for every $50. But we din manage to get anything from there. I was looking for a pair of shoes But sigh... just cannot find anything that catches my eye.

Had dinner at Carl's Jr. Not bad.. huge burgers and expensive I feel but since hubby has never tried it, then we went for tasting. Just the burger + the combo costs us $18! And it was SOOOOOOOOOO super crowded. But we saw, Jean Danker, Bryan and Fiona on stage for the luckly draw promotio.

I hate to go shopping and din get anything.. So guess what I bought for today?

1st purchases fm The Face Shop
If it's good, there will be more purchases! Hubby will faint if he knows! haha..

Yesterday, hubby already told me, tiger airways is having promotions. $0.88 cents per trip to either Bangkok or Phuket. And since we have been to Bangkok, we decided to go to Phuket but we were not able to decide on the date.

Thing is, we must make our booking within these 3 days, Fri - Sun. But unfortuntely, the dates are not our most preferred dates. But then again.. to get this offer, we decided to shift our dates lor. haha..

So officially, we are going to Phuket from 27 Sep - 30 Sep. And the air tickets only costs us a total of $170.02 for BOTH persons! Yeah! haha... Out of which, $100 I will use my co's MFE claim to offset. So we only pay $70 for the air lines and for hotels.. we will cap it at $150 so that I can also claim $150 fm co. Hooray.. Will be budget budget.

Hubby very sweet isn't he, he plans this so that we can go and celebrate our 1st year anniversay. Too bad it is not on our actual day lor but better than nothing lar..

confirmed air tickets for us! =)

1/2 day work and 1/2 day leave

Worked like a dog this morning! Can you imagine 2 schools coming into campus one after the other?! 1st school came in as early as 9 am, meaning I had to be in office by 8am. The other school came in at 10.30 am but was terriably late!

Goodness.. So I had to dash here and there to see to all of them make sure that my student leaders are there and know wat's happening and that they can manage the whole show while I go n load PC, prepare gifts and goodness knows what else!

And last nite, I stayed in office till 9.30 pm just so that I can finish preparing the photos for the "Photo Hunt" for 1 of the school this morning. How the game works is acutally very simple, just need the participants to go to various part of the campus where the photo is taken and do watever tasks we have written down in the little slip of paper given.

Thank God, the game din carry out, coz the school was soooooo darn late and the teachers actually said don't let them loose.. so ok lor, we screen the Design Clips instead. Which is sooooo much better for us. No need to go n worry abt time and they get lost! haha.

But this school, the teachers are horrible!! THEY SIMPLY DON'T CARE!!! I told the students to get back into the LT so we can start asap after refreshment, the teachers were either not in sight or don't care or join in the eating with the students!!! ARGGG!!!

Finally they are ALL gone. I had to clear up and return the LT to the next lecture grp. GOsh... soooo darn rush this morning.

AND, I still have to go n say goodbye to them with a smile on my face. I want to slap all of them!! So noisy and badly behaved and the teachers... ARGG!!!

The only good thing is that, coz I worked till so late last nite (din even have the chance to eat dinner at my parent's plc as I said I wld, heng, hubby ta pow back hm for me) I get to leave at 1.30 pm coz I claimed time off.. So where did I go?? Meet Trina of course, we went shopping! haha.. Though I was dead tired, but I still enjoy shopping with her very much! haha...

Still on my quest to seach for THE pink dress lor. *SIGH* Walked from OG to Robinsons, as they were having GOOD SALES. Trina wanted to get some make up from Bobbi Brown but was turned off by the sales person.. so we also din get any make up. But, we also did not go off empty handed. haha..

She got a mlphosis tissue cover and some cleanser for face.. while I got this...
a nice silver evening bag, perfect for attending Lynn's wedding Banquet next mth in my Paradox wedding heels.

Wanted to get Trina to go to Isetan.. but as we went back to OG to get the car, we pass by clothes section.. and I realise the dresses there are the same as "SUGARLINK" in ISETAN... inclusive of $$ also same. So took some in and try.. and wola!! Found my dress.

pink/peach dress for the church wedding =)

After all these walking arnd, both of us were also hungry.. So we went to a food court and had lunch + dinner. We had the tom yam set. Yummy leh. But not cheap. My set costs $6.30, includes of a rice, veg, soup and fish. Trina's abt $5 and instead of fish, hers was chicken. Not bad. Had a long chatting session wif her abt re-ships . I enjoy these sessions with her, mayb it's coz we are all women, so we find that we can relax ourselves just by sitting down and having a good chat. It helps us to relax, destress and most impt of all, gets us to be more aware of our own feelings and thoughts. Women need to talk to unwind.

After at least 1 hour there, she drove me back to campus coz I had netball practise. Not many members were here so we just anyhow play sme games and then call it a night. Tat's when I dashed hm to bathe and get ready for the movie, "The Da Vinchi Code". I won't have gone if it wasn't FOC. And I'm regretting that I went to watch it. Lousy movie! The book is much much nicer than the show. But still, I don't encourage ppl to go n watch. Coz it slanders the Catholic church by saying that all the facts are real. Bull! None of it is real!

Lengthy movie. Full of dialogue... Not nice. Not worth the ticket price at all!

Manage to catch 162 back and we went for supper at the KPT before heading home. On the way home.. was upset at hubby for something.. cannot even remember wat now.

Dead beat.. blog another time.

Another purchase...

I'm struck by the "purchasing" wind once again.

But.. hm... I think this time it cannot be qualified as a 'purchase'? Coz, last nite I went for my weekly dosage of Kickboxing and I signed up for another package. $100 for the next 12 sessions.

And since, this is something that will keep me fit and healthy, I decided not to qualify it as "Purchase" ha!

My official receipt for the next 12 sessions of kickbox.

A few days ago, I was surfing the web and found a shoe bag on offer.. So I decided to ask hubby to bid it for me.. and today is the collection day. Will be meeting the girl at YCK at abt 1 pm and once I got it will post the pic here too.. haha
It's acutally v v v big.. there's still enough space for 2 pairs of sandals after I put in my trainers!





and my "student card" which the staff will strike off a number each time i go.

And YOU KNOW WHAT?! Today is also the ISETAN private sale. And I want to stock up my purchase of Fancl!! Coz some of the items are having 50% off the second piece! But sucks, sucks and double sucks! I have a FULL day of program line up at work! Cannot go and get it.

Godma says she may or may not go, so I really don't know if she can go. But anyway, I have emailed her a list of the itmes that I want her to get for me.





a print screen of the items. But hmmm... I think it is not clear.. I shall copy and paste it here as well.

Ol' habits die hard

2nd day in my old office.. and halfway thru working, I was overcome with this urge to go shopping... so what do I do?

MSN Trina of course.. haha... well, she happened to be free and so we went shopping. heee...

Had my 1st ever burger fm Carl's Jr.. Nice. But still tastes abt the same as any other beef burgers I feel but the price is darn ex!! $8 for THAT mushroom burger. As usual, we chat and eat lor. Then after that, we went to walk around in the hope of me getting THE lavender dress.. sigh... no sign of it at all..

Was out only for a short while lar.. i feel.. then on the way back, I ask her to send me to the photo studio for me to collect some photos for the photo hunt coming our way on Friday morning.. then came back to office..

And then I saw the MSN tat Lynn left me. The conversation supossedly between me, Godma and Lynn went like this.
Lynn: Hi ladies!
Godma: Hi!
Lynn: I hope you all have not bought anything lavender yet coz I went shopping and I din see anything lavender.....Jie Mei's decided to change to PINK.
Godma: Haven't... yar, pink easier to find...
Lynn:.... OK! gotta go get busy now. *went offline*

After I came back and read the above.. I was like -_-"... after I went searching for THE lavender dress now she came back and change. But heng lar, at least
1) I haven't bought anything
2) PINK is sooooo much easier to find than lavender

So with effect from today, I am out on a quest to look for PINK dress! Pray I have better luck with THE pink dress rather than lavender! *whew*

And what can I say about sneaking out during office time?? "old habits die hard" lor. But.. heee... to console myself abit, I did do some work, I made arrangements for the mineral water via sms and also collected the photos meant for work.. Though I must admit, I took a long long long time.

AND my purchase for the day?

A cute little powdered blusher highlighter!
The actual name is call "Fun Fun Pop Cheek"
