I heart Taiwan no.2

what can I say? Taiwan truely rocks!
Especially when you have great friends! They give you surprises!
I made so many new friends, and of coz how can I not party......

after 4 hours of endurances on the plane, I finally touched down!
Did I mentioned that I was fined again for overload of baggage?!
Shite happens....

I was dead hungry and off we went to this dining place where they had a live band...
Actually its a pitstop along the freeway for the drivers to recharge and loo...nice scenery.. the band? it was alright, can't fight those back at home

I had super yummy beef steamboat and off we went to "Taipei"


ping ping and 阿生


after 3 hours of car journey, we finally arrive in Taipei....
ya right, Taipei!!!
They brought me to Taichung!!!!
no wonder I was wondering, Taipei is only a 1/2hr journey from the airport, why am I still on the freeway?! And not to mention that the surrounding looks so familar...

We picked up Sammi and head down to this diner owned by 阿生's friend. 阿生's friend is a native chinese (原主民), his place of coz patronized by a lot of native chinese.
Native Chinese are well known for their drinks and songs (look at 阿妹,动力火车) We had 20 bottles of beer, a huge jug of 小米酒 and sang through out the night... sorry I had to tortured you guys with my singing... =_+



after much drinks, we were too tired to drive back to Taipei, actually we weren't fit for driving too..

so we checked into a drive in motel (汽车旅馆) Don't be mistaken by the word motel and linked it with our Hotel 81...




The exterior...




The price???
$125/night!!!!!

with such a nicey, how not to take a dip before we head back to Taipei...


Taipei is pure yummylicious food!!!
We were at Danshui (淡水) and that familar smell just lure me towards it
SMELLY BEANCURD!!!!!!!!
I totally love it *slurp*


scenery along 淡水




淡水 is also famous for this small bite call 阿给.


ShinLin Night Market is yet another hunt where suckers for good food should not missed!

The infamous fried chicken chop and fried oyster




as all know that I'm a tea lover, and so ping ping brought me to this place call 猫空 to drink tea. 猫空 is almost like our Bukit Timah Hill, where you can admire the beautiful scenery of Taipei.



N rounds of tea later, they decided to play this card game called pairing, The winner can dictate the loser to do anything, which led to lots of R-rated punishments...we heck care the other tables which were mostly families. The game ended with the boys made to french kiss for 10 sec!!!
.

you wish! They weren't gamed enough! *grin*

I got to know a lot of friends and one of them is Bill. Bill is a Chief Chef of The Ambassador Hotel in Taipei, and he is only 30yrs old!



Look at the food he prepared for us *faint* Its very delicious!

p/s: the food in the 2nd pix, I took it from the buffet table, but still it was prepared by Bill's team...

And to think that he is only 30yrs old and is the Chief Chef, that rocks! We made small talks and I've learned things from him...

I was enjoying the food and realize that how friendster all of us are.

Daphne>Ping ping>Bill

Daphne was originally my 3rd degree friend which makes ping ping my 4th degree and Bill my 5th degree friend. But now, all of them are my 1st degree friends! How amazing fate is...

Night came and it was PARTY TIME!!!!
First time in my life I had 24 people singing together with me in the same room! YES! 25 people in the same room, boozing and singing. Actually it was boozing more....



I sat there and sang me song and Louis's friend, Paul, came over to challenge 5-10. pure luck I kept winning :)

look at the DL face *giggle*

Poor Louis, he wasn't allowed to drink due to his recent surgery, so with every round that he lost to me, he needs to do either 10 pumping or froggy jump...


ping ping and Louis


Alena and group


this dude started singing 我爱台妹 and the crowd went crazy...


I've learned something, when guys are high on Mr. A, they tend to act cute....


but the thing is 扮可爱 is Taiwanese's forte, I've seen spore boys doing it and I feel like slapping their face...

Last night at Taipei was to the Luxy


many rounds of Tequila shots, Flaming Lamborghini, Long Island tea, Whisky Rock and etc...


This place is flooded with hot chicks and hunks!

see another cute boy...


The special performance by the bartenders...


tell me how not to love Taiwan...

luggage empty

remember that I was considering to buy a new luggage for my Taiwan trip? Yup, I bought a 29 inc luggage...

yday night was packing and realise that it kinda look empty...

mama: huh? thats all you gonna bring over there?
FA: Wat to do? Its gonna be overloaded again so I better bring less things to compromise for stuff that I'm gonna bring back...

Past few days mama had been telling me to save $$$ and not to buy anything back for the family... but once in a while you will hear her telling me...

mama: you know mei mei feet are growing so fast...in case you come across anywhere footwear shop, and theres nice boots, buy "1" for mei mei. Remember to buy white ones, easier to match.

mama: dun need to buy any t-shirt for korkor, he got tons of them...but in case you come across any nice clothings, buy him some burms

mama: dun need to buy bags for me, I've got lots of them... *3 seconds later* you know the bag you bought for me during your last trip, very nice and matchy with my heels. I juz bought a pair of new heels the other day, can't find matchy bag, so in case you come across *insert colour* bag, can consider.

mama: I kinda missed the fresh oyster there, maybe I should ask uncle to buy some and freeze it so that you can bring back...

=_=

my doggy boyfriend

we love the same brand...

but we parted our ways...
till the next show leon-boy(of all names =_=) ....

chameleon

This was how long my fringe was...



its all gone now!

I told mama that I went to cut and colour my hair

mama: you coloured your hair black
FA: no, its purple now...

=_=

mid 20s... crisis? no crisis?

I was telling my friends that the other day, I was filling in some application/registration forms and came to the age column, I started to calculate my age and realize.... gosh! I'm 25 this year!!!

I'm officially in the mid 20s category... 怎么办???

Do you remember when you were in the 10s category, how you wished you hit 20s???
Every year when I "celebrated" my birthday, the same thought will surface "huh? still 16/17/18/19? When am I hitting 20? I used to think that 20s is soooooo far away, its none of my business as of now....

yah, it can't be not my business since I'm 25 this year!

any crisis felt? a little, maybe a little, no... maybe quite a fair bit....

lets see...
~ bank account with at least 4 zeros, no check
~ career, no check
~ degree, no check
~ love life, 1/8 check (no ask me how you measure a 1/8 of a check, its juz 1/8)

HOW?!

doggy doggy....

The mall were flooded with doggy last weekend....We've got over 30 paw buddies and I must say all are very friendly.

some owners treated our canine friends with love...Obsessed is the word!

theres two more show this weekend, so do drop by if you missed the doggy show... :)

snip snip

my fringe is getting longer and covering my eyes, while part of my red hair is turning orangy.

time for some trim and colour before I leave for Taiwan. Perhaps dark blue or purple will be good :)

speaking of Taiwan, I'm comtemplating should I get a 2-in-1 luggage...
with the previous experience(I came back with 8 luggages weighing a total of 48kg) , I've been giving some serious thoughts...

status quo

i was browsing frdster mins ago and realize that my sch mate has ROM-ed.
yet another one, I wish her well.

the norm of a honeymoon period, usually a 3mths?!
yet the experience is not what it should be now...

in status quo....

earthquake?!

I felt the building shaking (northeast region) ...at 11:50am for 3seconds...
Is our neighbours experiencing earthquake???

disappointment

you know when you have expectations and are not met, disappointment comes attacking....

as much as I'm trying, I hope others are trying too.
theres no answer to a one way traffic, often it leads to no ending...
or an ugly and sad ending, never a good one.
one lonely driver having to face all the traffic lights and jams, its too tiring...

just as I thought yeah, probably its a good start, it might turn out to be another disappointment.

physical and emotional pain

I sprained my back.... no! I didn't had vigorous "exercise". It must have been my sleeping posture...

you know sometimes when you have too many negative ions in you, everything around you doesn't seems to go smoothly.

I'm still not feeling any better. Emotional issue cannot only be resolve by the intending parties..

the talk the night before didnt accomplish my objectives, in fact, I pretty anal now, I donch know should I voice out any unhappiness in future, or should I just keep mum about it.

was it my character and expectations killing everyone around me?

maybe I should just leave for a while, maybe I should leave THIS place for a while, maybe I need to find pitstop, organize my thoughts before continuing the journey.

this afternoon, for a good 15minutes I felt I was all alone. I came back from work, and totally broke down. The one, who is in the position that everyone thought that should be showering me with love, care and concern wasnt doing so. Instead, Daddy sayang me and dried my tears...

I gave myself "reasons" to justify the absence. Kidding myself? maybe, but at this moment, I thought its the only remedy to my tears...

march?!

Its March!!!
What happened to January and February??????

I thought I juz did my countdown party project, and next week is my march promo...
damn time passes so fast....

but hey if my march promo is coming, which means my Taiwan trip is also approaching...

cultured

I went for a locally produced play yesterday... <<剃头刀>>

I only know the name of the play when I reached the venue

little did I know that 80% of the play is spoken in Hokkien...

suddenly I felt so handicap, if not for the subtitles, I think I'll walk out....

Anyway the play quite a good one...its about life of a wayang actress, you guys should go catch it, support the local art scene..

Oh~ and I saw some long "lost" friends... :)

Blessing

juz the other day I was thinking its been forever since I last sat down, enjoyed tea, read the papers and had a decent breakfast and the next day I was late for meeting, so my mgr told me to sit in the next meeting instead. Which left me a good 30mins to enjoy the above...

I'm blessed!

not my fault

not that I kept buying earrings...
but they kept going missing...

I lost my red loop, orange loop, and now, orangy pearl studs
:( *cry*

the usual aunties attack

much that I dun feel the CNY mood, I kinda look forward to the yearly extra "income" which I can spend guilt-free....

But of coz the it came with a price of "so when are you getting married"

so you multiply by the number of red packets I've received, that how MANY times I kena the question....

"都没有人要跟我求婚怎样结婚?!"

followed by an awkward moment of slience, act blur, and continued what they were doing.....

=_=

Men and booze

seriously I think both can't gel well...

I was at a booze joint with a gf and the other gf called and decided maybe I should pop by and say hi...

the next thing I know, some guy tried to force his drink to my gf when my gf had told him bluntly that she needs to drive...

Our dear friend... "It alright, I'm also drunk, so lets drink"

Obviously the "I need to DRIVE" didn't sunk in at all....

In the first place whether you are drunk of not, its none of our business.... and secondly, dun try to use the drunk smokescreen, its too passe....

Men after booze, they should keep to themselves?!

sigh~

Retro mama

again I'm biang-ing presentation and assignment to meet next week deadline... with Pet Shop Boys playing at the background.

currenty playing... Pet Shop Boys Discography, The Complete Singles Collection.

The other day when we were driving down to some K pub in town area, the radio was playing some retro hits.

Daphie was so excited as she recalled how hot those numbers were back in those days...

"Ai yoz, girl, you can't relate lahz, you were probably "swimming" back then..."

wei... first of all, I like being young, second, those songs during my time of cheonging were considered as 80s hits, retro fever...dun my fault to be born in the 80s!!!

It suddenly strike me that 10 years down the road, if one day when I heard radio playing Take That, Duran Duran, MC Hammer, Guns and Roses, Marilyn Manson, 4 Heavenly Kings etc, I would definitely get all excited, by then, I guess Princess Fayth would probably have the same reaction as I now...

p/s: I know MC Hammer, Marilyn Manson and the 4 Heavenly Kings super far apart, but ya I listen to them. I appreciate good music *smile*

family bonding

over dinner again...

The House of Lam had a scrumptious and expensive dinner at Red House (ECP Seafood Center).

The geoduck sashimi and bamboo clam are f-ing delicious, yesh its fresh and good else they better refund my 250bucks!!!

You know, I always enjoyed the contented look on people face when they love the food served. Everyone is happy, everyone is full till they had to un-buckled their belts...you can see pure joy on their face, something that you can't fake...

mealtime has always been precious to the House of Lam.
Since young, whenever Daddy is around, he makes sure that all of us are present at the dining table before he starts dinner.

Though the food is nothing great (mama is not very good with cooking, except that she is excellent at making traditional cantonese double-boil, sometimes triple-boiled, soup) but all of us enjoyed that 1 hour of time spent together.

We update our happenings and if you are lucky, you get to hear childhood stories of Daddy and mama...

now that we grew up and started working...family bonding over mealtime gets lesser and lesser. Thus, whenever time permits, Kor and I try to have lunch/dinner with Daddy and mama.

Of coz now with the addition of SIL, Princess Fayth and Anita (the household helper) our dining table hear more voices.

:)

smuggle me

the other day SIL was suppose to go aboard for some business trip, and Princess wanted to tag along....



she brought along her 2 most valuable item with her....

******
Babies, aren't they smart?
Look at how she held onto the edge for support before getting out...

小白, 我顺手牵羊

Remember last time I mentioned about 小白?



so how did it landed in my hands without me paying? Nope, its not a pressie, I purely took it! Took it from the shelves of a shopping mall. :P

Daddy and mama brought me to erm...Isetan? Metro? Daimaru? OG? I don't know lahz... According to mama, I hugged 小白, but mama didn't want to buy since I'm allergic to dust. Little did she know that I didn't put it back and left the Mall with 小白 in my arms....

so thats how I became a shoplifter... sigh~

happy 小白


hug hug/act cute 小白


sleepy 小白


grouchy 小白


angry 小白


I suspect 小白 is relative to Hello Kitty, coz they dun have mouth... *gesh*

yet another curse

after the previous curse, I suffered another shockness!



For a moment I thought I was at the wrong unit...
Thanks mama, I finally feel the CNY mood...

must pay

ah heng make sure he gets his message across every mother son and daughter...

so dun try to act blur ah!

the end of one is the beginning of the other

Finally, my CNY promo came to an end.
Finally, I can drop dead in bed.
Choy! CNY cannot say die...

I told mama not to wake me up tomorrow morning...
I miss my rendezvous with chougong...
I think he went for another fling...

Guess I can only be happy/enjoying for 2 days?!
Coz my upcoming project is in March, sch hols...

*AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH*

so rightfully, I can only relax a little after the March show...
then after that *aaaahhhhhh* its another promotion....

Valentine's Day..... *yawn*

not that I'm dateless...
But I was in the office till 1am this morning...
packing 60 baskets full of goodies for this evening Valentine's Day Event...

We will be organizing Ferris Wheel Dining for all lovey dovey (parents are welcomed on board with their kids).
First in S'pore, I is excitedness!!!

I'm gonna have the press tour, plus The Project Superstars Darren and Diya will be here this evening....

panda-looking + smoky eyes makeup, I hope I dun scare them away....
keeekeeee....

anyway I took a lot of pix this few days
Uncle Ringo Euro Funfair, Vday gifts and thoughts, work...
too many pix too little time...
patience pple, you definitely get to see them before CNY...

so feel the love earthlings...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

Uncle Ringo Euro Funfair

uuuwhhhhoooo!!!

They are back in town again! Best of all, its right outside my office!

We had some tie up with the boss for V-Day event, so the team went over to do a site recee last evening...

In conjunction of V-Day and CNY, we will be organising a Ferris Wheel Dining on 14 - 16 Feb 2007 for our shoppers. As the word suggest, its gonna come with food and gifts. Yes! Real yummy FOOD!!!



work aside, we toured around the fun fair and guess what I've found?!




sorry! I've forgotten the name....

Funfair is never complete without carousel...


I am princess waiting for my knight...


Top Gun



spin me around baby...

Vortex

tumble-wash me and make me puke...

Challenger


This is the ultimate one! It spin like a pendulum from left to right, then the claw-like seats spin 360degree! So its 180 + 360! You sure feel the pump up brain and heart...


Definitely must try this!

*sheepishly* Alright, I didn't try all these rides, its based on observations... BUT, the boss say I can visit them during the CNY and get free rides...whatsmore, I get bring my friends along.... *wink*

Boy or Girl?!

Make a guess!

curse of the irritating CNY songs, and pram issue

sharing the same woes , I'm sure for those working in the shopping mall can't really escape from Xmas carols and CNY chin chong song.

my current is "你招财，我进宝...."

yet again every year some bugger will have to remix the already dreadful CNY "songs" to techno version, adding onto the misery...worse, make some underaged girls to blabber the commercialize "songs"

sigh~

the House of Lam minus SIL, went down to Chinatown last evening, yesh, a must thing to do, although every year one has to complain about how madness the crowd is, yet every mother son and daughter has to be seen there....

I kept my cool with all the pushing, hovering, smelly sweat until this ah pek tsk us big time and mumble "so squeeze still carry pram out..."

totally hit the sensitivity part thus kena-ing big time from me.

"Of coz, theres a need, can't you see there is a baby here?! Juz make sure you dun have any babies in future!!!"

the tsk-tsk ah pek was left speechless...

alrighty, not that I'm being a bitch, yesh I kown its crowded thus, we collapse the pram and hand carry rather than pushing it. So please, stop acting as if you are such a considerate fellow yah?!

shopping = flying $$$

I was suppose to meet AMB for dinner on Fri nite, but he had some mtgs to attend thus the dinner was postponed again =_=

then it occured to me that I haven't been shopping for a loooonnnnggg time and there I was making my way down to Orchard - the land where they steal $$$ from your wallet w/o you realising it....

I actually spent close to a thousand bucks within 45mins.... *GASP*
of coz my lusting was part of the contribution to damage.....

I was a happy girl for a good 1/2hr, then reality kicks in.... I realise I was thousand bucks poorer.....

shopping, full of mixed feelings...

finally....my ed hardy

after hinting and lusting for the past 3 mths

red vs. red

I is demon

I Wikipedia-ed furfur angel and I found this

I is the ruler of demon lehz!
But I is good ruler coz I causes love between man and woman.

so dun you dare to bully me, or I ask my demon kakiah to kill you!

wedding dinner

I juz came back from my cousin's wedding and yesh! I wasn't spared from the wedding FAQ!!!

and my very PR answer is I still can't bear to leave Daddy and mama....I'm still their little girl...

I concluded that your intention to share the growing part of yours will backfire if you put up gorgy pictures into the pre dinner clips! You only malu urself!

and never buy poppers and party spray cans.... only to make yourself look like you've juz went to a countdown party!

seriously for a moment, I really felt as though I was there juz so to be there and not sharing the joy with the couple.... sigh~

of red, ad hoc shopping and tag with a time

after turning red, I've been making head turns for good/bad reason I donch know...
My 老板says I look like a punk while 老板娘 kept quiet.

CNY shopping has been kinda ad hoc, like I juz bought a grey turtleneck which I doubt I'll wear. Yday after the meeting at CS, I bought bikini, shorts and a necklace, of which, I need to customise to suit me, and it officially add onto my collection of 23846279567834 necklaces GAH!

Dun ask me why I buy a bikini, not as if I'll wear them for CNY, but probably I just want a orange bikini to match my orange tank top, or maybe I've wearing the same red bikini for dance, that its time to see some variety. (but what happen to my other blue, brown, turquoise etc? Alrighty, I juz need an excuse)

recently, I've been watching this Taiwanese Idol drama Silence featuring Vic Zhou, Andy Hui and Lianshen (I donch know her name, but she is Chang Jin best fren in Da Chang Jin) Nice show I must say, worth the $x I spent on DVD.

Anyway, my point is, lets juz say you left with 3mths of your life, what would you do with this three months? I ask Daphie and she said she will quit her job, spend time with her love ones and let them know that she is gonna die, not forgetting to tag her froggies and give it to each of her love ones and the rest she will donate to charity.

Me? I'll probably do the same thing but instead of froggies, I'll tag my necklaces and earrings (I promise I blog abt my collection some time...) As for whether I'll tell my love ones that I'm dying, its still a question mark. Whats the point of telling them when you know that they will be upset and in order to let you enjoy your remaining times, they put up a false front as though that its not gonna happen, and everyone juz enjoy the moment.

She shared a different mindset though...like its only right to let them know, and when you are gone, its easier to move on and not cling onto it. Then again, for some people not that they failed to comprehend, but they simply refuse to accept despite making known or hidding the truth from them.

which brings me to the next question, whats the feeling of knowing that the next minute you will be gone! No more breathing, no more heartbeat, no more pulse....

The imperfect in life

Juz Wednesday night while chatting with my gf over cranberry juice and rootbeer (we are good girls! We meant it when we say we want to cut down on Mr. A), she was sharing this with me that the other day she was chatting with one of our friends about her sucky love life and that she had been taking crap from men.

This friend of ours shared this with her...

"You know, you are blessed with a close knit family, great friends, good career, great looks and body, sometimes God needs to take away an imperfect thing in your life juz so to make it perfect which in this case would probably be your love life..."

*touched!*

you see, we have always been so engrossed in ourselves that we failed to see the bigger picture.

Day in day out, we KPKB on every single thing. You want this, you want that, you complain this, you complain that, you wish for this, you wish for that, sigh~ you probably dun even know what you truely want.

When was the last time you took a moment, give thanks and simply embrace the joy of it????

I am RED!!!

I've always admire people who can spend hours in a hair salon juz so to look pretty.

I mean its a pure waste of time especially when theres really nothing much you can do except read the lastest/outdated issue of magazines, chat with the stylist/assistants (洗头妹or洗头男) about the latest gossip in town or worse, go thru the wedding FAQ.

You probably paid $X to have your objective met but sometimes it may or may not achieved. And most of the time you end up forking out an additional of $100 or more under the influence of the stylist that you NEED that haircare product.

And for the fact that I HATE hair dryer sound, I get really put off having to visit a hair salon...

but which mother son and daughter is not vain and wants to look good? so every single hieow beings are willing to spend $$$$ in hair salon...which I did!

I spent 6 hours in the salon to get my hair done on Sunday....
YESH! 6 freaking hours of mushroom invested boredom I had to endure!
I ironed my hair, got hair treatment done, add colours and had got a trim...



?????
6 hours yet we dun see any difference!!!!!
Wait... check out the back

Freebies (5)

Time for the first freebies for 2007!!!

I've got invites to Seducing Mr. Right featuring Daniel Philip Henney and Uhm Jung-Hwa.
yesh! Daniel was that Daniel from My lovely Sam-Soon.

Date: 12 Feb (Monday)
Time: 7:30pm
Venue: The Cathay

Its a private screening which I doubt I can attend due to my CNY fringe events.

Let me know if you are interested!

OT-ing

Damn! Since I came back from a 3-day medical leave last Thurs, I've been working till 11plus everyday!!!!

AAAAHHHH!!!!!

Its 10.24pm, and I'm still in the office waiting for the designer to revert on the revised artwork *GASP*

我想死!!!

I want to emphasize not that I'm inefficient, but theres just too much things to do...
(my brain is not functioning well, coz for the pass 1min, I've been retyping "inefficient" again and again. I can't seems to get the right spelling!!!)

this kind of lifestyle still have to go on for how long??!!!
*inner voice: after the March Dog show*

I want my holiday!
I want my Taiwan!!

VDay pressie

I'm still lusting over this

anyone?
I'll luff you deep deep...

I'm going to Taiwan again!
Muahahahaha~!~!~!~!~
I miss my tea and 台妹

Hard work paid off?

Its time of the year where most will get their BONUS! (if any that is)

so satisfied?
so was the effort put in, sacrifices made, and time invested worthy?

Which brings me to how to balance monetary compensation and appreciation towards effort put in?

Which is more important and valuable?

Getting a high salary (which can support that hardcore party/shopping shopping/travel travel lifestyle that you are currently enjoying) but you have to clean up shite every single day, getting backstab, efforts not appreciated, being stagnant and not progressing

or

Getting a alright pay check (which allows you to buy the norm brands of stuff, party twice a month, travel at least once a year) but have fantastic colleagues, enjoy work, back free from daggers, efforts put in are appreciated...

?????????

Time have changed...

Remember the naked imp-looking with super fancy coloured bushy hair thingy we used to have we were young?



look at the new improved version...

wears clothes and make up, comes with comb wor...

survival in crisis!

lately, work hasn't been getting easier.
With all the protect-my-ass work attitude ongoing, work has officially pissed me off!
Whats with the attitude man?!
Everything have to be in black and white, have to be so calculative, its really not productive at all. With all the head of department fighting, its so difficult to get things done.

To make things worse, I kena fly kite on my iconic event! My first big scale project! I wanna die! The expectations are heaven high, its killing me! Looking at the timeline, I'm getting REAL worried.... Please give me a miracle! I need one badly...

I'm starting to believe that the resign virus is contagious. Yet another colleague from the team resign. Now we are living on the reputation of 几只小猫team. Not that this particular person had help much in the group event, but team morale wise, its not positive.

I doubt I'm not gonna enjoy CNY, given the fact that I'm having a few events on the last week before CNY and that my iconic event is straight after CNY.

HR wanted to us to plan our leave, just as I was thinking to have a long CNY break, down it goes to the drain with some fucker sabotaging me! Tamade! Stoopid bugger, I cruse you that for everytime you wanna sneeze, at that spilt second, it just disappear! Just like that *snap finger* Muahahaha~!~!~!~

I'm starting on school projects and my assignment.... killer!

sigh! the pressure is building up....

point proven again

my fustration on civil service point 9 has once again proven itself

These people can't solve a simple water problem we are facing at home now....

I called PUB, they refered us to Town Council citing that the later is in charge of maintenance of the estate.

Then I called Town Council, and yes, you guessed it! They refered me to PUB because they are in charge of water issue!

NBz!!!!

Homecoming Party

Fwah! I've received this sms from my gfs that my old school is organizing a homecoming party for all the ex-students who graduated between 1990 to 2000.

Its like ultimate gathering with people probably up to 10-year age difference. Who knows, I probable get to meet that senior that I had mad crush on.

Then hor, I started to think what happen to my classroom,
those secret compartments we created to store our books/cigarette/discman/pagers,
my seat,
my table which had all the scribbling to facilitate my tests,
my favourite tuckshop uncle whom will give me everything extra making my $2 worthwhile,
my girl guide room with all the awards,
my scout room (I wonder wheres that Kong Kwan biscuit tin where it used to be our ashtray), the field that we spent countless saturdays drilling,
the official smoking area,
the "haunted" places,
my home economics kitchen where we dish out delicious stuff,
tee-chers i love/hate....

I is excitedness!

BUT...I've got a feeling this homecoming will turn out to be a Wedding FAQ session!!!! =_=

Probably homecoming is a better word than gathering...

plasma在哪里?

my 15yr old CRT Toshiba TV right beside me is making some funny noise now!!!
I suspect it will explode in anytime!!!
Daddy!!!! The plasma that you promised me, its time to get it!

So shut up! You pple full of criticism!!!

Yummy food are not meant to be wasted....

Mcdees

I heard from decayonnet that there isn't anymore curry sauce at Mcdees and decided to check them out for lunch today!

I bought the longevity set meal

FYI the set meal doesn't come with wedges, but my tenant love me... :P

the burger taste very black pepper beef lorhz...and its very messy!
The sauce kept oozing out *tsk tsk*

But I thought the wedges taste better than those from the Old Man's outlet!
Very cripsy!

I wanna KPKB!

AMB send me home a while ago.
While on the road

AMB: oei! Why the ah nei bieo you?
FA: 'Coz I pretty!
AMB: Quick! Point your finger at him (Dun ask me why, I simply just follow)

FA pointed her thumb at the ah nei (Dun ask me why the thunb, its my first reaction)

AMB: wei~ I said finger not thumb!
FA: Thumb is a finger mahz! It belongs to the fingers family
AMB: Nonsense! Thumb is a thumb! These are fingers (point at index, middle, ring and pinky)

FA pause for 2 seconds...

FA: Then why is it that in school, teachers always said that we have 10 fingers?!

AMB pause for 3 seconds...

AMB: erm ya... I think thumb is a finger

visit to our neighbour

I decided to visit our friendly neighbour this afternoon...

custom was a breeze, took less than 1/2 hr to clear, better still there wasn't any traffic jam at all.

visit the usual place like City Square and Pelangi.
I actually bought tees over there.
Nope its no la la mui style
its a nice tee :)
and of coz its VERY cheap!

I realize that our neighbours are very into Xmas...
Apparently they still have Xmas decor and trees all over the place...
What I find more interesting is that the "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" is in melayu! Like since when muslim started to celebrate Christmas?!
Does this means the end of Christian-Muslim conflict??!!! I hope so!
and please no more bombing or church!

As an A&P personnel, I can't help but to notice this...

why can't they say "Carolling by Church of the Good Shepherd"
This is the obvious 职业病

Going over the causeway is never complete without the buttered crayfish at 大马花园!!!

We witness this while making our way back to collect the car...

we are lucky, coz we only got hit once! *phew*

On our way back, at the custom, we saw this...

Domino selling pizza at RM$5 and within the three minutes wait, he actually sold 5 pieces of pizza!

FWAH! Domino sure had business sense!
Maybe I should propose this idea to Old Chang Kee or Shin Lin Taiwan Street Snacks. I make sure that the vendor stand at every single traffic light along Orchard Road! I'm sure they are gonna earn big bucks!

aftereffect

...from Dance Dance Mania

FWAH! I cannot feel my abs, my butt and my thighs.

great workout!

dance dance mania

uwhhooo! I finally sign up dance class!
Like after million mths of wanting to sign up, I finally got moving!
check out their webby

first class is tomorrow and I'll try house and girls hip hop!

quote from their webby

House
House dance style was born in New York during the 1980s-90s. It is often identified for its nifty footwork and upbeat rhythm. Dance to cool and sexy house tracks and psyche yourself up for a heart-thumping dance session. Are you ready to house?

Girls Hip Hop
Sassy Hip Hop moves with soulful rhythm that will get your butt rocking hard. Get a taste of head swaying, body rolls and body poppin' all roll into one in this class. Wanna sweat it out with the gals?

*sing dancing queen*

p/s: *wink wink to my pure blondie*

***************

time to cut hair....

hmmm..... donning the black hair for quite some time....
I'm quite disturbed when my pure blondie said I look like 小龙女 because of my hair colour, and Peter asking if I dyed my hair black...
rrrooooaaaarrrr!!!!!

I'm inspired by ink maniac's new hair colcour!!!!
the ink + the rock + the attitude and now the hair colour = hardcore bad boy!!!
yahoooo!

will my blackie change to electric blue? pink? red? purple? blonde?
we'll see....

holiday

I'm planning for a holiday end March.
I need to recharge...
but I've got no idea where to go...
Actually I was thinking of Taiwan, but ping ping will be coming over in June, so no point for me to go over there...
any suggestions for a 9-day holiday?

working on it

reference to the point no. 10 of reflecting year 2006, I decided to have this for lunch now...


with the classes starting next week, hope that I can shed off some extra kgs...

Its a new year

so I spent my NYE at work, counting down with the grassroot leaders, ministers and the residents. How execiting?!

Juz another work day, juz another event
and thats about it...
nothing wow wow abt it!

not unless you are refering to the new friend I got to "know" recently!
The ang moh beng (AMB)!
Pure breed of kentang with a true beng personality.
But I doubt I can learn any dialect from him since the AMB only speaks english with a slang and thats about it.

pure coincidence or what...
there were at least 3 person who said that I'm a workaholic when I told them that I'm working on NYE and 2 Jan!

我不是!
I've got a life!

anyway...after reading 2459861458 blogs, and that all the 2459861458 bloggers were reflecting on what they did for 2006 and their resolution for 2007, I thought I might as well join the masses. :)

so 2006 had been a fruitful one!
~ I finally got out of da shite hole and got myself a new job

~ I've visited places where I've always wanted to go

~ I was adopted again after being the orphan for 1/2 a year,

~ I attended lots of media launches, previews, movie gala and was showered with lots of freebies, all thanks to my work. BUT I'm not complaining, so keep it coming!

~ First time in my working history, I've got AWS! I is excitedness can?!

~ I met the ink maniac which had one of the nicer design around, definitely worth the second look. Check out the new hair colour man!

~ My collection of earrings, necklaces and footwear continue to increase, which means that I haven't been saving up and mummy's nagging continued. *sigh*

~ I got interviewed by a men's magazine, which I thought wasn't that famous thus I gamely agreed. Not till I found out that the every Tom, Dick and Harry reads it. And now I'm branded as the HMG (high maintenance girl). Actually come to speak of it, I'm quite affected if some guy brand me as low maintenance, hello, I'm not some rural village girl ah...

~ my hair is longer and I look more ku niang

~ I put on a few kgs and I'm officially FAT!!!!

Juz as I thought 2007 was gonna be shity since I was counting down at work, it came with a surprise. I felt so pampered and loved
我是幸福的!

so 2007, I wanna stay happy everyday, live the fullest. Hopefully my stalker will stop harassing me, visit a few more countries, read more, cut down on driking, learn something new...theres just so much things I wanna do!!!

Another 5 more years before I hit the big 30, not much time to do crazy stuff anyway!

p/s: the 2007 zodiac forecast by the famous 3 fengshui master, quite accurate!
