How does one define success in life?
Wealth?
Health?
Love?

Having achieved a degree/masters and what have you?
There are just so many expectations in the world these days.
So much to achieve.
So much that we need.

Ayyyyy.

My definition of success.
The ability to live happily with the ones you love.
The ability to make the ones you love happy.
The ability to get things that you want and not having to worry about a single damn thing.
Yeah...
You feel me!

And I especially love the times where I can just spend my pay!
It's like after a long full month and you see the benjamins coming in.
It is such a joy.
It just makes me feel so capable.
Haha..
What a silly thought...
But hey, I am easily contented.

Success in life is when you live with no regrets.
And I learnt that if you want things in life.
You jolly well fight for it.
Nobody is going to source it out for you man!

I guess God has really blessed with great things!
Praise the Lord!

He gave me....
Family who has always there no matter what.
Friends to crack me up every single day.
JQ to pick me up when I'm broken.

Hi all.
It's pretty late.
But I can't sleep yet cos I'm not done clearing up the mess I made
Well, see
I'm on a small little project called Cater for Zenas' Exhibition.
Just done with baking the brownies and preparing the finger food.
Will start on the fruit tarts tomorrow morning.

Man, it's going to be a hectic week once again.
You have no idea.
Sometimes, I find myself stoning at my organizer,
repeating the thoughts in my head.
It's going to eat me up someday.

Okay...
Let's talk about work...
It's stressful sometimes cos I really hate it
when the clients ask me stuff and yet I can't freaking answer them
cos either I ain't sure or I just don't know!
It's frustrating!
And you know, each time Edric explains it to me,
I somehow get it and in the end when I get on the phone,
I'm at a loss of words.
The best part is..
I can't even smoke them...
Hah!
What am I doing man...

But it does get better now and then when I feel the satisfaction in
helping my manager or say the lawyers I work with.

We just have to think this way.
It's all for the ALDO shoes.
Oh yes... Oh yes...

Haha.

Also, aside from all this negative stuff.
What really made my day today was the entry from Vanessa!
I know it was written on Tuesday.
I'm so deprived of my social life I hardly have time for blog hopping.

So, I shall say my piece now.
Thank you very much Ms Ho Jia Qi for that lovely entry about me.
Awww.

Nobody has ever dedicated an entry for me.
Damn, I feel so special.
Have you any idea?
Exhilarating!

Friends are an important part of your life.
They are the family that God forgot to give.

Good day to you all!

I want to be a pastry chef!

Hello to all my faithful readers!
I do apologize if my updates aren't as frequent as they should be.
I've been so caught up with stuff!
Birthdays
Work
Yadah Yadah.

Well, don't worry.
I still manage to balance it out and spend time with the Mr.
So things are going on fine!

Well, It's so tough to get a job now.
I know I'm so lucky to have job recommendations.
As of Thursday, I'll no longer be working with my dad.
But instead, with my mum!
And what do I think of that?
I'm going to miss going to work with him.
The conversations we have and the nonsense we share.
It's meaningful, you know. (Yes, I know I'm emo.)
I kinda wish I can stay on and do more.
But it'll also be good if I could gain some administrative experience.
Just hope i do a good job!
And I guess I can always help my dad out after work,
if it fits my schedule well.

And some of my intellectual friends have got replies from NUS.
And me?
Nothing!
Zilch!
Kosong!
You feel me....
I don't really know how to look at it, you know.
If I get in, then that's it..
Architecture all the way?
And if I don't?
I have more time to really think of what i want?
Is that it?
Both ain't promising at all for a successful future.

But then again...
How does one define a successful future?
A wholesome family.
The correct partner.
Great friends.
Wealth
Health

We've got a long long way to go...
....till we reach the end of the road.

Goodnight everybody!
I'm tired.
It's a freaking sauna here.
And I'm having a headache.

2009-04-04T08:32:00.002+08:00

It's been a while since the last update.
Previously, I was having so much difficulty finding a job.
Don't expect me to work as a draftsman or project manager or something.
At my youth, I want to try out new things,
and possibly acquire new skills that would be essential in the future.
There are many on the list in fact.
I do want to work in the kitchen but that would require me to work during weekends
which can't fit my current schedule.
Church will be affected and the job as a the receptionist would be compromised.
So many issues, yar!

Anyway, I'm currently helping my dad with his wine business!
I know it means a lot to him and as a daughter,
I want to be a part of helping him to build up the business.
There's much to learn...
Thank goodness 3 years of Architecture is of good use now.
I'll let you take a look at the website soon yar!
It's a complete mess now!
It's stressful sometimes, the pressure I put on myself
cos I don't want to let family down.
But oh well, I'm trying, I'm trying!

JQ and I were at Mos Burger the other day
Look at what he had!
Scallop Rice Burger
They look like baby sotong balls if you'd ask me.

And Chicken Nuggets and Fries to go along!
Mmmmm....
Yum!

I'm going blading today!
Yippeee Weee!
Stupid Benjamin spoilt my blades....
It's about time to go to the outdoors!
I've been confined indoors for way too long!

Good day everyone!
Much love!

"Most people come into our lives and quickly leave.
It is the special few that come in and leave a footprint in our hearts,
and we are forever changed."

2009-03-13T10:05:00.001+08:00

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Boon Sin's 21st Birthday

8th March 2009
Ibis Hotel
1500 : Party Begins

Every party comes with preparations!

Decorations!

Food buffet prepared by us!

All set & ready to go!

We fetched our birthday girl from the station!
Kept her in suspense till the very last minute...

And there we have it...
The ultimate turban birthday party!

Gwen, Boon Sin, Philly, Vanessa!
And the little girl jumping at the back is Adeline!

Philly & Gwen

Gwen, Vanessa & Socks!

Parental Guidance & Victoria Secrets

More shots with the birthday girl!

The Ladies
Top : Vanessa, Philly, Boon Sin, Socks

Bottom : Gwen, Adeline, Berenda, Hwee Miang

Steamboat Dinner!

A shot with the Boss & Lady Boss!

Adeline left shortly after the cake cutting...
That's when we started to slack and doze off.
Both Hwee Miang and I knocked out.

The rest of them went crazy drinking!
Philly knocked off shortly after.
It was down to four of them.
Made so much noise till the management called up.
Goodness!
Can you imagine!

And they actually finished an entire bottle of Vodka.
Madness.

0400 : The drama begins!

Boon Sin pukes
Vanessa pukes
Socks pukes
Berenda pukes

This repeats about two times.

Laughing & Crying
Dropping dead on the floor

They were at it for a good hour and a half!
Till all of them finally dozed off.

Hwee Miang left early in the morning.
Everyone gradually got up and showered!

All sane in the morning!
Breakfast at a Hong Kong Cafe!

That's all there is,
there isn't anymore.

2009-02-18T16:39:00.003+08:00

School's almost out for most of us.

And it is yet another time for us to consider what to do next.

It's really horrible to face the reality.
It burn, it kills.
Why can't we just have a little more time to think about it?
But, sadly...
Things don't always go the way you want them to.
I applied for NUS and somehow I really wondered why I did that.
Is that what I really want?
Or is that what I should want for a better future?
Life isn't about doing something that you love anymore.
It was more of doing something that you know could give you a good future.
Many things keep playing back in my head.
What Gen said, what Mum said...
It is a wake up call.
I have my reasons for applying for Architecture,
although i was so reluctant a couple of weeks ago.
and somehow i managed to convince myself it was for the better.
People may have dreams that they want to chase,
but judging by the global economy right now...
Not a chance...
I'll just prepare the necessary documents and hope for the best!
Hope I'll be as lucky as I think I am!

On a much lighter note,
We celebrated Vanessa's 21st birthday on Valentine's Day.
The first princess of the clique to hit adulthood.
I must admit, it was hell of a surprise.
And along with that, came hell of a preparation!
We sat down, discussing and pondering of what the ultimate surprise would be for the birthday girl.
Carefully, sticking to the budget and trying to get the best of both worlds.
The great party and least cost incurred.
Many ideas were thrown across,
some slammed down, some delightfully acknowledged.

Finally, we decided to surprise her on 13th, midnight.
With cake, location, presence and gift!
So away, we went...
Spent an entire day shopping for the perfect gift
and many many days trying to do up the video for her..
Socks did a lot of the filming, running all about.
Thanks to her and Berenda who accompanied her.
So I settled the ingredients for the cake.
Many things didn't go according to plan cos we didn't cooperate.
I shan't mention, cos we all know it.
It was the death of me!
Lucky for me, JQ was there to lend a hand!

All in all, we managed to pull it off and Vanessa had a smashing surprise!
From being moved to tears to laughing out loud.
It sure was a night to remember.
Boon Sin's Birthday is in about three weeks!
Much to plan, much to plan!

2009-01-17T21:49:00.005+08:00

Submission is in two weeks!

Oh Goodness.
We are all so so dead!
There is so much to change and edit.

I've been in my seat for the past 3 hours listening to Britney Spears.
3 hours is really long...
considering the fact that I suffer from short attention span.
Anyways, I doubt I'll be sleeping tonight.
I'll try to stay awake.
It always seems that when I see the clock hit 11pm , it means bed time.
Very very bad.

I'm lacking a social life.
I've not seen my girls since the new year and it already feels so long.
It's about time to meet Dada and Kat too!
Really miss them much!
But I shall wait till after my submission.

I went to HYLA today.
It was hell of a spring cleaning.
Super labour intensive
Lucky for me, my arms aren't aching, if not I'll prolly be buried in my comforter.

And I'm currently addicted to Taylor Swift's - Love Story
I find her really beautiful too!

2009-01-01T21:55:00.003+08:00

1st January 2009 marks the end of the year 2008
Another fruitful year gone by.
I'd say the most significant thing that has
happened to me this year was having reunited with my girlfriends.
The get-togethers & outings we had these year has truly been meaningful.
And there's more to come, I'm sure!
Hopefully this year, we can go somewhere with our passports!
Malacca, Bangkok & Taiwan!

Jq and I have been really good!
Frequent quarrels but that's normal.
Other than that, we're cool.
So maybe if we're that good, we can get married this September!
Good yar?

A new year
A brand new start!
You'll never know what comes but I do know it's
goodbye to heartless jerks and irritating people!
We learn.

Life's short so keep moving forward.
You'll never know what good things may come your way.

2008-12-29T00:58:00.007+08:00

So much has gone on the past few days...
Don't you just love Christmas!?
The Pyjamas Party was awesome!
And seriously nothing beats spending it with your girlfriends!
There was so much to do!
From cooking & preparing the food to decorating the house!
It was killer!
But honestly, it was worth the effort.

So the long awaited Christmas Party arrived
and everyone arrived at my place full of joy and excitement!
I, for one was particularly excited!
We got started on preparing the food!
Vanessa, Hwee Miang and I a team,
and the other four of them at the command of Phillicia, the decoration leader!
Everything went well as we planned it to be!
Table was set, coloured balloons and streamers
around the living area and food resting well in the kitchen!
Dinner started shortly after..
Eight of us were confined to the cosy corner outside the house.
And that was where we were throughout the entire evening.
Striking glasses and being merry!
They enjoyed the food!
Mum prepared her yummy yummy Beef & Oxtail Stew!
And we attempted to bake Shepherd's Pie and good golly!
It turned out a success!
They were accompanied by Baked Chicken on Mushroom & Potatoes!
And something which was a cross between Pizza and Bruschetta!
Love the food!
Love the company!
Love the occasion!

Games followed after that!
And we had out very own edition of Pictionary!
Two teams!
Vanessa, Socks, Hwee Miang & I
Philly, Boon Sin, Adeline & Berenda!
They nailed us like hell with 13 against 7!
Damn!

The bulk of the laughter was contributed
when it was time for us to slip into our PJ's!
And do the catwalk!
Yup, you heard me right!
The Catwalk!
I can tell you, it's one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done in my life
Embarrassing but absolutely necessary!
You don't want to know the things we actually did!

Gift Exchange came after that with lots of phototaking!
Everyone seemed satisfied with what they got!
Socks was my buddy and she did up a sweet christmas card!
Honestly, the most sincere one i have ever received!
She got me a Pastry Cookbook!
Beyond Brilliant!
Love it!
It's been traveling around with me for the past few days!
I'm going to attempt the recipes soon!

This is what I made for them, from my heart!
Frosty the Snowman!
8 miniature figurines which was later placed in a small cookie jar!

Goodnight everyone!
School starts in a matter of hours
and I'm still very much engaged with the Christmas Spirit!
I'm so screwed!

2008-12-21T13:09:00.002+08:00

Spent my entire week getting ready for Christmas!
Christmas gifts for all my girlfriends and boyfriends :D
Preparing my place for the Christmas Party!
So much has to be done...

I have thoughts of attempting to bake a fruit tart.
Maybe a 10 inch one!
Yummy Yum Yum!

And that brings me to the thought of what I should do after poly.
I mean, the obvious thing to do is to get into a University.
But somehow I find it really draining to have to continue Architecture.
Seems like there is greater passion to be involved in the culinary industry.
I want to take a Diploma in Pastry & Baking at Shatec.
If only I realized this passion right after secondary school,
I wouldn't have wasted my 3 years then.
But on the bright side of it all,
I met a great bunch of friends
and I'm exposed to several aspects of design
which I believe will definitely be meaningful in my future.

Sometimes, it's really scary to think of the future.
I mean how bad can it be right?
I tend to think it's easy-going, smooth-sailing or what have you.
But it could be because I was brought up in a different environment.
I keep telling myself that I'll make it.
But seriously, who knows?

You've gotta DREAM BIG & EXPECT LITTLE.

2008-12-16T13:17:00.001+08:00

I'm done with the puzzle and you have no idea how much fun I had completing it!

Fixing puzzles are such a joy!
If they weren't so expensive, I'd probably get one every week!

Was at Vivo City the other day and they have this new National Geographic Shop!
Really cool stuff there.
There was also this photography collection on frogs.
Fascinating!
These are some of the pictures I managed to grab off the net.

Alright!
Off to the library!
It's time to do some work.

2008-12-12T00:45:00.010+08:00

8th December 2008

I absolutely adore the food, especially the desserts
sweet loveee :D
I got a macha macha cake for my birthday!
Yay!

Not a big crowd but that's okay
They got me a polaroid!
Please meet White White.

Woohooo!
And Stacy got me this really awesome cookbook with 500 recipes of tarts and pies!
Just Splendid!
I'm so addicted to it.
Maybe I could bake a fruit tart or a crumble pie this Christmas!
Thank you all who made my day!
Especially Mr Leow.

9th December 2008

Birthday Celebration with my family!
Godma came along too!

Dinner at Su Korean Restaurant
The food was great!
Barbecued beef and chicken!
But somehow, i think Mum can do better...

JQ got me a Mango Mousse Cake from Bakerzin!
And that was awesome too!

10th December 2008

JQ's Birthday!
We had steamboat at his house!
What a variety man!
And later headed to the airport to send the guys off to Australia!
We had Popeyes for dinner!
Hated the chicken, so oily!
But I love the biscuits!
It goes especially well with strawberry jam!

11th December 2008

Finally, got to meet up with my ladies!
It was supposed to be 100% attendance.
But we were down to 6.
Anyhow, the celebration still went well.
Dinner was at Baba Restaurant at Expo!
Peranakan Cuisine!
I would say, this is the best birthday dinner!
I've had craving for nyona food!
Plus, I always enjoyed it.
So thank you very much Vanessa for bringing us there!
Duck Sioh
Nyona Chap Chye
Chicken Buah Keluak
Fish Garam Assam
Ngoh Hiang
Sambal Kang Kong
Sago Gula Melaka
Pulut Hitam

And this is the ultimate!
They got me a Nightmare Before Christmas Puzzle!
The Ultra Big one!
I ain't going to sleep tonight man!

I feel so lucky and really really glad to know I have people who love and care for me!
So thank you all who wished me or made the effort to celebrate my birthday!
You sure made me a little happier.

2008-11-29T01:26:00.007+08:00

Alright.
Attended the Asian Design Conference on the 27th & 28th.
I must say...
The session on the 1st day was killer.
Super theoretical
We hardly got anything and that ended up being the deciding
factor of people choosing to stay home rather than to fall asleep.
But I particularly enjoyed the session on Culture.
I found it really meaningful to have the speakers share about their individual country's culture.
Fascinating.
So, here i am...
inspired to share with you what i experienced.

Please meet the Milk Crate Man.
Born in Australia.

Just Awesome.

2008-11-24T23:03:00.002+08:00

Stacy's 20th Birthday at Manhatten Fish Market
I so want a lomo camera too!

2008-11-24T11:14:00.003+08:00

Much has happened since the last update.
My ladies will be coming over for a party on Christmas Day.
Decorations!
Cooking!
Pajamas Catwalk Parade!
Games!
Forfeits!
Surprises!
Fondue!
Girl Talk!
I shan't go into the details.
And it seems I'm the most excited person about the party.
Will be meeting half the bunch later in the evening to get the decorations!
Oh good golly!
I love Christmas and being able to spend it with the people you love just makes it like heaven.
So that's one of the few exciting events coming up!

My birthday is coming!
Yay!
JQ's is a day after mine.
No idea what to get him at the moment.
Gotta go shopping soon!

And the Bintan Trip!
Fooooyooo!
5th to 8th December.
Water Sports
Spa
Yippeee Wee!

And Christmas Midnight Mass.
The yearly celebration with Dada and Kat.
It's been a while since I last saw these ladies.

2008-11-04T10:29:00.004+08:00

Gen's 22nd Birthday yesterday!
And I got her these lovely sesame street cupcakes from
Paisley & Cream :]

2008-10-31T20:29:00.002+08:00

It was supposed to be baking day today!
But Gen and i ended up having other commitments
Mine was to sleep.

We had a full day branding exercise on yesterday.
An exercise which tasked each group to come out with a branding strategy to market Hunter Douglas' Product for a selected architect.
Our selected architect - Fernando Menis
Someone whose punch line was Reason + Emotion.
So yeah!
Did the necessary research and voila!
Must say that it was kinda tight to have less than a day to complete that task.
But hey, we really did enjoy the time doing it.

So Stacy, Hao Wen and I headed to Jq's place to get the product kit done out.
Riberd had other plans.
And it was laughter for the first half of the night.
With a lot of nonsensical moments, all thanks to HW.
Till it was down to two.
Stacy ended up sleeping as though she was suffocating herself to Jq sleeping with a penknife.
Should have been there..
So Hw and I did the project all the way till it was time to get home and get ready for the presentation this morning.
So tiring but fulfilling.
I'll upload the images when i can!
All's over now.
Recovered with about 5 hours of sleep.

Which then brings us back to why there was no baking today.
Next time, next time!

Dinner time!

2008-10-28T21:33:00.003+08:00

Ahhhhhh.
Finally, some time for myself.
Been busy with my final year project...
Oh yikes.
Had a submission and a test today.
It was okay, I guess...

Hmmmmm.
I think about this now and then.
And how I wish I was heir to this really rich rich family.
Like all of a sudden, I'm approached by this stranger who claims
that I'm the granddaughter of this billion-ka-zillionaire.
And you know what I'd do next!

I'll do all the things I ever wanted to do!
I 'll travel the world.
Europe, Japan & some third world countries.
And I'll obviously have my girls come along!
Vanessa & Socks!
Kat and Dada!
and we'll do all the crazy things that we never thought we'd do.

And then,
I'll get my dream home with the dream kitchen and dream bedroom.
I'll save the details.
And with that,
I'll go to the pastry essentials shop and get all the good things about pastry couture.
And I'll bake everyday.
I swear it won't be boring.
I love experimenting and i really don't mind cleaning up.

Oh yar...
And my family!
Bliss man!
Mum and Dad won't work and I'll see that they get to travel the world as well.
I'm sure it'll be good to see the world and experience new things.
Gen, I'll get her a car.
Ben, I'll get him a really good internet connection so he can enjoy his computer games.

Jay Queue!
We'll book the first flight to Gold Coast, Australia,
so that that kiddo can really experience what the theme park is all about.

Life can be really great.
It's about imagination...
Really.

But right now...
I'm going to snap out of this and sip my coffee and get my work done for the submission which is coming in two weeks!
Holy Bergooooda!

Will update soon!
Hopefully with more images for my pastry collection!
Goodnight:]

2008-10-17T20:33:00.002+08:00

How shall i begin?

Okay...
Let's just say life's pretty unpredictable.
You'll never know what could happen till it happens
The changes which are somehow inevitable.
I hardly ever regret anything.
In fact, as far as i can remember.
Everything happened for a reason.
One good way or the other
You'd either become stronger or fearful.
I do believe I have become much stronger never fearful.

These lessons that I've learnt definitely has come in a really wide spectrum
I've met so many people in life
Some friends I'll like to keep for the rest of my life.
Some others which never really gave me a reason to love them that much.

All around me, almost all my friends have at least a best friend
and i wondered if that was the norm.
if it was.
I must be doing something really wrong in life.
but really, it's just the way you want your life to be
and i figured that i kinda prefer it the way it is.
I'm contented:]
Be contented!
If you are never contented with your life and keep finding what's best,
you end up being a perfectionist and i think you end up being miserable.

Life is supposed to be enjoyable and full of joy
I know there are the really good times and the really really bad ones
I've had my fair share of it.
I'm sure.
All in all, life has to go on.

2008-10-09T18:11:00.007+08:00

Baking Sessions

been baking the past few days
and it feels really great!
decided to try making these items from scratch and it surely wasn't difficult
i'd certainly like to own a dessert shop in future
yup yup yup!

oh yes...
the reason why i was baking because a friend of mine, Taufiq
wanted to order several items from me

so here we have...

M&M cupcakes

Walnut Brownies

socks came over today and we baked cupcakes for Vanessa
pretty aye?!

the next we'll be baking together is Oreo Cheesecake...
and maybe some others on the list.

i so need to get materials for baking
for someone who loves to bake,
i certainly lack a lot of these equipments.
i need to practise and master other recipes.

Sometimes people put you down,
not believing you can.
But all it takes is just some faith,
to pull through and overcome these obstacles.
Nobody ever said it was wrong to chase your dreams.
So never give up on what you love to do.

2008-09-20T22:58:00.003+08:00

Underwater World

Lia came along too

hey fishy fishy fishy fishy...

2008-09-18T00:42:00.009+08:00

Happy 20th Birthday Phillyly

been running out about here and there the past two days
getting ingredients
making the tarts
getting the cake

woah...
almost died getting the cake
first of all
i only want the macha macha cake
and i want the smaller one
so i figured i'd better be kanchiong spider and get the cake before anyone else did
i was there at 10 and they only had the big one!
it's impossible for the 6 ladies to finish for sure
so the lady told me to come back after 11.
the small one will come
so i decided to go threading first to kill time
ended up threading services only start at 11
so i ended up wasting my time
walked around little india
and i think i can be tour guide already and show the tourist around
and that seemed like the longest half an hour
i thought i walked a lot yet only a few minutes passed.
so nevermind...
i kept walking around and around
then i went back to breadtalk
guess what happen?!
.................
no small cake!
and i die die don't want to get other cakes
so no choice get the big one.
the best part,
i didn't have enough to get the big one
short of 6 bucks cos i went threading
so i had to go home and take money
silly right?
wasted my time again
gotta go home and take money and come back again
what an adventure!
so now i'm home
making the last 40 tarts for my ladies

i'm back from malacca!

and i wish the shopping lasted longer

there's really so much to buy

cheap and good!

i managed to get stuff from both the night market and the shopping centre

jq got a fair share of stuff too!

i love the new shirts he got

i bought new clothes too!

i finally got myself a white skirt

yippeee!

i got my girls some cool stuff too!

special zeebra pencils

hope they like it as much as i do!

okay.

got these pepper & salt shakers from jonker street

these magnets are from this small little shop in the shopping centre
so much of wonderland in that small shop

well..
i did get some other stuff too here and there.
cookies, biscuits and more!

had lunch at royal plaza on scotts with mum, godma and my cousin, jonathan

buffet!

always enjoyed buffets!

range was good

salad, soups, roasted meats, seafood and others

i especially enjoyed the spinach florentine!

dessert wasn't that bad either.

but everything was full of a million ka zillion calories

and given that i was quite full

i didn't take much.

just enough for tasting.

now that makes me excited to go for buffet with jq!

i'm sure he'll enjoy it as much as me.

i'll definitely go with vanessa and socks too!

till then...

i'm so looking forward to meeting the girls this wednesday

always enjoyed their company

the undending laughter

and funny stories

we're such a bunch of happy kids!

and i love them so!

2008-09-11T14:46:00.003+08:00

my plan expires around october
and if it's afforadable i'll probably consider getting a new phone

there are a couple which i'm interested in.
both which jq doesn't like at all

but that doesn't matter

as long as i like

C902

G900

so we shall see when the time comes

who knows

maybe there will be more phones

i need to get new stuff for my room

shelves

photo frames

a new chair (the current one is huge, turn one time, everything teeehhbaahboaam)

a printer

more bedlinen!

and some storage essentials

and i'd like to get some mini mosaic tiles and start doing some art pieces

get in touch with creativity

9th September 08

one year annivesary

the programme

1) suntan in the morning

2) underwater world/ dolphin lagoon

3) Marche

4) catch a movie

okay.

things didn't really go according to plan

we skipped tanning and just headed straight down to vivocity

so we grabbed some korean bites to go

and just when we were about to head to sentosa

dad called to say he needed help at work

didn't have much of a choice

so i chose to head down to his office

we helped him for a couple of hours

and then went back to our plan

but by the time we got there

it was already too late to watch the dolphin show

but we still got the tickets

took a lot of pictures

Lia came along as well

so after we were done

we had dinner at Marche

that was the highlight of the not so perfect day

1)Sautéed cream mushrooms

2)Roesti with chicken cheese sausage

3)Sirloin steak

4)Calamari rings

5)Apple tea

the desserts were a no no as they did not really appeal to me

the night ended with us watching Death Race

it was bloodie good!

10th September 08

met socks after lunch to settle philly's present

then headed to clarke quay to check out the japanese restaurants

made the reservation

so while that woman went off for tuition

i got the remaining items for the present

headed home and had a short rest before meeting the girls again

dinner at subway

and mooncake feast

the three of us got a box of 8 from holiday inn

two flavours at 40 bucks

both snow skin

green tea

champagne

very very good!

so they came over and chilled at my house

enjoying the mooncake

wrapping the present

writing in the card

and trying to book a chalet

the all girl's escapism i'd say!

2008-09-04T10:18:00.003+08:00

hello one and all

such a rare opportunity that this blog is given some attention

i don't even know why i recreated one in the first place.

but hey, at least you have something to read now.

i'm having term break now.

maybe about 5 weeks?

i'm not really sure you know.

so i'm almost home everyday.

but i do go out sometimes.

with my girls, with jq

philly's birthday is in about a week half.

and dad's a day after

haven't really thought of what to get them

so i need to go shopping later.

i don't see jq alot these days.

he's always working late and i can't call cos he's always working

and when he gets back,

he's all tired.

too bad for me

we'll be going malacca next weekend!

ohh yes!

good food

awesome shopping

perfect company

okay.

gotta go.

time for some shopping

so much to buy

so little money

2008-07-23T21:37:00.002+08:00

AYF AYF AYF!

okay.

how shall we start?

Asean Youth Festival

one of the committee members called me this afternoon & asked if i'd like to participate in the youth festival

28th of July till the 2nd of August

but that clashes with school curriculum

i am so tempted to ask for leave of absence,

but under what grounds...

such a opportunity to meet the delegates from the other asean countries.

Ayy...

was looking at the programme for that entire week..

sounds really cool.

i can just kill myself right now!

damnnabbitsonofamonkeyskunk!

oh brown cow.

2008-07-20T22:37:00.000+08:00

2008-07-10T19:54:00.003+08:00

have been indulging in good food the past week!

really wicked

i really enjoy life too much sometimes...

5th - Jumbo Seafood

7th - Spageddies

9th - Brussel Sprouts

whatever happened to the diet man...

back to it

anyways..

there's this current addiction to green tea

green tea ice-cream with red bean

macha macha

i don't know what to do sometimes..

it's like green tea versus fruits.

obviously green tea will win!

oh yes.

had my presentation today.

i'd say it was just okay.

i do enjoy architecture but sometimes

i really doubt that it'd be what i'll do in future.

i have so much more passion for cooking.

pastries, cakes, desserts

food of all kinds!

that is more of a pleasant future i would definitely enjoy.

i need more exposure and opportunities.

but..

would it potentially bring in a good future?

i don't know..

Birthday treat at

The Birthday Girl

Sambal Kang Kong

Cereal Prawn

Chili Crab
Mmmmm...

An oh..

this is the little mantou we also had which costs like 40cents!

The best you'll ever have.

And we got something in return!

merry go round the mulberry bush

A lil stroll through the pubs in clarke quay

and got ourselves settled by the river

strange encounters...

Good day everyone!

2008-06-21T22:14:00.001+08:00

okay
let's sum up the past six months in this post
a lot has changed since the previous entry in the other blog

friendship, love, life

decided to start blogging again as i'd like to adapt the habit of writing

and hopefully someday i can get to write a book

haven't really thought bout the topics though.

we shall see...

anyways,
i always tend to forget birthdays

and i

always have the inability to plan my schedule ahead to make it for such occasions
really horrible.

so i decided that for a change this year

i'd make a point to be the organiser

the organiser always has to be around

presents, cakes, dinner, card, attendance

everything

it's actually a good way to keep in touch

and it's really amazing what a simple text could actually do

maybe not for you

but it made all the difference in the world for me

to hang out late at night

girl talk

all that matters
really

the 7 special ladies

2008-06-11T18:57:00.000+08:00

decided to chuck the old blog

however this one is still under construction

meanwhile.....

watch this space!
