Today must be one of the craziest days at work. Fridays at work are crazy enuff. To have a million and one things to rush before the boss flies of to the US in the afternoon is just insane. I can’t wait for lunch when I can finally breathe.
But I am really glad I managed to wake up on time this morning cos it was another case of ‘napping for awhile’ but led to me falling asleep until this morning.. When I woke up, I was in total shock cos the sun was shining in my face and my hair was still wet. And then I realized what a miracle it was that I woke up cos I didn’t even set alarm before I dozed off.
I know some people are gonna complain about my sleeping habits but I wasn’t out til that late yesterday I swear. I met Jane after work for our appointment, then we had dinner, then we went Parkway to walk and I bought so much rubbish, from shampoo to conditioner to many packets of masks, to facial wash etc.
Tubs came to look for us after that and we continued walking around abit more then we went Macs drivethru and we bought nuggets to share. Before we could finish the food, I was thirsty beyond anything and I needed a drink so badly. I was so damn crabby cos first, I really needed a drink. Second, I had said early to buy a drink but tubs said he still had somemore drink (which he later proceeded to finish everything and leave me with one last mouth of it), third I was very uncomfortable with where we were sitting cos there were ants and spider webs and hermit crabs and mozzies and what nots and fourth, I was still feeling erm, tender and vulnerable, so that wasn’t the most conducive place to be. So we went back to the drive thru to grab a drink and sat below Jane’s house to talk. And then I realize it was midnite oready.
And so I went home to shower and tubs said ‘let me nap until 230am’. I said ‘either you dun sleep at all, or you sure sleep til the next morning’ And he said confirm won’t. And so he set alarm for 230am. And we fell asleep til 740am. Great. It has happened so many times, and each time I know we won’t be able to wake and each time he insists it won’t be a problem. *sigh* Once again, I can’t help but say ‘I told you so’. He really should start taking his gf’s words seriously cos its oways true. And after so many times, you thought he would have learnt…I guess not…
I think this weekend is going to be pretty damn mad cos of Rachel’s big day on Sunday and I have so many things to do in preparation of it. Maybe Sat I shall pop by her place to help her make our very potent concoction for the guys. Hur hur. If only I wasn’t so busy with work, and if only she didn’t stay so far. And it doesn’t help that she herself is so busy.
I am super gian to go shopping. Maybe I shall just do that next week. And I shall wear slippers instead of heels. Speaking of which, my fave pair of Nine Wests are starting to fall apart. I need a cobbler to save my shoes! –sob sob-

Sent my bitches to my house and while they used the com in my pig sty of a room, I went to wash my hair. And being us, instead of heading straight out as planned, we talked cocked, read magazines, frolicked in bed, laughed at someone’s hairy leg and discussed about the latest juicy story that’s happening to someone we know.
It was until Chixy and I were gonna fall asleep that we decided we really had to get our asses moving and we left the house and went to Macs drive thru to grab a drink. Sat at our usual BBQ pit to slack and there were so many police petrol cars lah. Must be bcos of the leader of the Singapore Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) network, Mas Selamat Kastari, who escaped from the Whitley Road detention centre yesterday afternoon. There was one who was driving in the sand and weaving in and out to avoid the trees. I dunno what they were doing oso bcos if they had gone a little further closer to the sea, they would have seen a man with 3 China women instead of a runaway prisoner. Gross stuff. I think some guys should get over it. They think they’re some pimp daddy or something. Why pay for 3 girls when you only have 1 dick? And the women were so damn noisy talking and laughing. It was as if they were talking to people at the other end of the damn beach.
Back back to the escapee, I think after they catch him, they should cut away his arms and legs first but dun let him die. So they can question him all they want and not be scared that he’ll run away. Yes, show no mercy to those who wants to hijack a damn plane and crash it into Changi Airport. But him being on the run means me and my bitches will have a lot of patrolling men in uniform to ogle at. Hahaha. But on a serious note, I do hope he gets caught soon. Action – Reaction! Sometimes such things must happen to jolt Singapore out of lala land.
Anyway, being tired and talking to Chen is not good. She grills me silly and I just answer her. She is NOT letting go of the skeletons in my closet.
By the time I sent my bitches home, washed up, used the com for awhile, and slept, I had 3 more hours to go before I had to wake up for work. Fantastic.
On the bus to work this morning, I think the bus driver didn’t notice me in the bus and there was one other Japanese lady passenger. Instead of stopping at the usual stop, I think the bus driver wanted to take advantage of the situation and she told the Jap lady ‘I go straight ahead? I go buy breakfast’ KNN. I think the Jap lady didn’t understand her so she just nodded and nodded. I didn’t wanna say anything cos she was going in the direction of my office… until she zoomed right past the big junction and into the next street. Then I stopped her. Just do what you are supposed to do lah. We pay a premium price for a premium service and now I end up having to walk back further than ever? That’s utter bullshit.
I found out something which I was very tempted to say something about but I decided against it. I shall be friendly and make life easy for everyone. Haha. It’s mainly due to 2 reasons lah. Firstly, I am in no position to say anything. Secondly, I oready know your pattern so it’s nothing surprising.
Okok. I shall not push my luck anymore. I am tired and I’m gonna upset some people soon so I shall stop here for now. Haha. I wonder if this will be another round of people asking themselves ‘Is she talking about me? What did I do?’ Haha. So the best way is to be like Mandy – say who’s NOT the accused.
I am not talking about tubs, my lovelies or my bitches. Nuff said. They are the ones who matter enuff to me for me not to want to think I’m talking about them.
Trust blogger to cock up…
Various songs have been on the repeat in my head these few days and here’s a little something just for my baby:
Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you're mad get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I’ll stand by youI’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
Oh I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you

I am so tired because once again, I have been out til late last nite. Yesterday, tubs & I went to pick Chixy up from Sandilands then we went prawning with Jane & Tiger. Yesterday’s catch was not too good… 2 rods, 3 hours, 8 prawns.
The uncle was nice but not as nice as the last time. He helped us with the catching but he didn’t give us prawns. Haha. It must be because the guys were there. Lolx.
Here's Jane holding apart the pincers while awaiting someone to unhook the line. Apparantly it does hurt quite abit when it kiaps you..
There was a girl prawning on the other side of the pond and we couldn’t stand her man. I was so tempted to take a foto of her to post up but I didn’t cos it would have been too obvious. But I think she knows we were talking and laughing at her the whole nite. I still can’t get her crabby face out of my head. She keeps smacking the water with her fishing rod and waving it around in the water. She fucking thinks it’s her own pond lor. I’ve seen funny things happen while prawning but it is the first time I see someone’s rod get stuck in the bottom of the pond.. and it wasn’t even just once. Wonder what the hell she was trying to do. Then something happened which made us burst into hysterics that I swear she knows we were laughing at her. It looked like she had a catch.. then she yanked her rod out of the water, and on the other end of the rod….. was a huge………….
Prawn leg.
Hahahhahahahaha.
Hahahhahahahaha.
Act until so sut kee, in the end embarrass herself only.. Pui! Then she ran to her bf with the prawn leg attached to the rod. Haha. I wonder which poor prawn lost its leg to the crabby woman. She must have been really rough with it man. She kept trying to flirt with the nice uncle and he couldn’t even be bothered to entertain her. Haha.
Here's the resident cat with it's kill..
Anyway, I had initially thought I’d just go for awhile then go home but who knows, we stayed til 3am. –faints- We really have no self control. Went home to upload the fotos and I fell asleep.. When I woke up this morning, my lappy was still on but it was sleeping as well. Haha. Even my HP was still connected by the cable to the lappy lah. OMG. I must have fell asleep in a jiffy. Thank goodness once I got home, I set alarm so I wasn’t late today. If not…. I think I’d still be sleeping now..
Yeah I, I got to know your name
Well and I, could trace your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some
Well I...I set my sights on you(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
I, I got be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in
Just a little bit closer(little bit closer)

Sunday at Xian Wang, the bf has proudly declared to my bitches that he is part of the minority report. Sad. I can see they feel sad for me too. Haha. But I shall try to adapt bcos self pity isn’t going to make me feel any better. Hur hur. All I want is a simple life. All I’m asking for is all things average. I don’t ask for big fancy cars and houses, so I’m crossing my fingers I don’t get sub-standardness from the other end of the spectrum.
But looking at figures makes it hard not to compare especially when the majority = more than 90% and I can’t help but think ‘why me??’ so I shall not dwell on that and focus on all things good, which I have a lot to be thankful for.
But I have to say after all this time, I still have my uncertainties. And they stem from things I see. I have learnt that in my case, it is more dependable seeing than hearing. Bcos talk is cheap after all. So with abit more time, and abit more actions, and abit more results, and abit more decisiveness, I hope everything turns out fine. When it comes to such things, I can have the patience of a saint, and sometimes I lose out bcos of it. Sometimes being too supportive and being too easy going makes you invisible and seemingly unimportant. So hopefully in the midst of all the madness going on in our daily lives, you take time out to see who is the one and only unwavering support, who has not faltered after all this time while you try to find your feet.
Maybe its not unconditional, bcos some stumbles I may be there no matter what, but for others, I won’t think twice about leaving for greener pastures. Let’s just say my importance to you and your commitment towards me is the name of the game. The ending is pretty much in your hands so play smart.
And no, kaypohs, nothing is wrong between the bf and me. I just felt like saying what I felt and sometimes I feel a little early reminder is good. Like they say, ‘you have been forewarned’.
Lunch with Mel and the bf is a killer. I’m so full I think I’m gonna puke.
Any takers for sending me to prawning tonite and back? And no, nightcap not included.
Everytime I lose my self control
It seems like I can't let you go
I'm at the point of no return Don't ever wanna come back down
I'm up so high above the ground
This feeling I will always yearn Drifting away
I'm flying
I'm gonna head for paradise
Nothing to say
I'm climbing
I wanna stay right here tonight Drifting away
Drifting away Now I've got you inside of me
I take the opportunity
To keep on going with the flow Don't ever wanna come back down
I'm up so high above the ground
I hope this feeling never goes Drifting away
I'm flying
I'm gonna head for paradise
Nothing to say
I'm climbing
I wanna stay right here tonight
Drifting away Drifting away
Drifting away

Something has been leaving me irritable for the past couple of days and I finally managed to let off some pent up frustration last nite.
*sigh*
Ron decided to do a guest appearance last nite. He being online is hard to come by. And bcos he’s so far away, the hours just seemed to zoom past.
Chatted with the ex and he better not do what he said he wanted to do. I shall take it as a joke and trust you to be more sensible than that yah.
Told Chixy some stuff, I think she understands how I feel. I may have put it in a very straight forward manner but that’s exactly how I feel. Let’s hope I don’t have to resort to that. But sometimes, desperate times calls for desperate measures.
I miss my bitches. I need to meet them and complain. Only they won’t be freaked out by the things I say, and only they can make everything into a joke and yet help me come to a conclusion.
I think my heart is not with the company anymore. I can’t bring myself to do anything and I’m dreading the boss’s return tml. In fact, I am oready thinking which day I should take off next week so I can meet my bitches in the afternoon. But being me, I will still drag myself to office and do my work. I am a responsible worker but it’s just not healthy.
Right now, I can’t decide if I would like more to be at a spa or at a tattoo palour. I just wanna sit/lie down somewhere and get my mind off everything. They are both therapeutic and they both cost a few hundred bucks a pop. Anyone who knows someone who does fantastic shading please let me know.

Once again, it’s time to recap my weekend. Someone told me my posts are very detailed. I just wanna say that this blog is not for entertainment purposes. It’s to remind me of what I do everyday and what happens in my life bcos I have such a gold fish memory. I used to write diaries but I have given up since cos its tiring and it just looks wrong whipping it out to write at work everyday. Blogging is a tad more discreet. Hur hur.
Friday, nothing much happened except we fell asleep and woke up in time for Macs breakfast. Haha.
Saturday, slept til late and lazed at home for pretty much of the day. Then I went in search of my white dress. My bitches gave me a fab suggestion which I would have otherwise not thought about and within less than 10mins, I had a whole bunch of white dresses to try and I paid and was off. Guys who shop with me are damn lucky. I’m one of the fastest shoppers you can ever find. Scan, grab, pay, leave. Yep, sometimes I don’t even bother trying on my purchases.
Went to SGH to pick up the Merc, then back to my place to drop off my little red riding hood, then we went to Kallang to see cars. The race was over but we went to look at the cars that were on display anyways.
Met Dan & Zhi Huang after that at Punggol Park for some drinks. There was a fucking obnoxious China girl sitting behind us and I nearly turned around and slapped her. If I did, I would have made sure I slapped her so hard she goes flying back to China. She was loud, and she talked like she was very clever and that she owned the world. All the tables around us were staring at her but she obviously mistook that as the wrong kinda attention cos her voice just kept getting louder and louder. I’m not saying all China girls are like that but this kind, you just know it when you see them. They’re hard to miss cos you can hear then a mile away. She was being a prissy little bitch cos tub’s chair came in contact with hers but she was with a group of Singaporean guys who knew better so luckily hey didn’t try to act ‘macho’ and say anything or they would have gotten it bad from me.
I guess the guys were still in the CNY mood cos after that we bought a pack of poker cards and proceeded to the void deck nearby and started playing blackjack. I really have no luck when it comes to gambling. I lost money –sob sob- I guess the gods give me face during the festive season and let me break even but once the festive season is over, it’s a sign that I shouldn’t gamble. But it isn’t much money and it’s all in the name of good fun so it’s ok.
Sunday, tubs cooked me breakfast/lunch then we went to his office for awhile then we went Leng Kee to see cars. Tubs test drove the new Lancer for the heck of it and it sucks big time. The service sucks and so did the car. As I was sitting in the car, I couldn’t decide if it sounded more like a lawn mower or a cow. Went to Subaru after that and the service was so much better plus cute salesman to look at. I omost said I wanted to test drive the Golf GT but I dun like the feeling of making myself gian and there’s nothing I can do about it. Went back to tub’s for a nap then it was off to Granny’s. Dinner was shiok! Abalone with veg and sea cucumber, roasted and white chicken, spring roll, ku lo yok, sharks fin soup. I love.
Picked up my bitches at nite and we went to Xin Wang at Kovan for our usual talk cock session til around 2am then it was home sweet home.
Looks like we’ll have to reschedule our appointment today, no thanks to a certain relative of mine which everyone hates. But we will get it done by this week. Sorry darlings!
I have oso decided that if need be, I’ll go back to Venga. Huan has put me thru enuff agony.
And before I forget,
16 MARCH 2008
6.00 – 11.00 PM
BBQ
1. I booked the pit right beside the pool so those who wanna swim, go ahead.
2. I will let everyone know in private my address and how to get there.
3. Bcos it is at my place which isn’t all that accessible, I will settle the food and drinks and total cost (plus BBQ pit = $22) will be divided accordingly.
4. Let me know what specific foods you all feel like having so I can buy.
5. Bring whoever you want, I just need to know an estimate of how many people to make buying food easier
I can’t think of anything else at the moment.
I’ll keep you my dirty little secret

Left work during lunch yesterday and met my bitches for ban mian. It’s been such a long time since I last ate that. Yummers. Was trying to find a seamstress but what I didn’t know was that they took 2-3 weeks to make a dress and it costs more than $100 –faints- All I want is a simple white dress lor. I gave up on that notion and if I don’t find a white dress by this weekend, I guess I’ll wear the dress Jane lent me. However, it is damn stressful to borrow new clothes from people lah. We came across one which I didn’t fancy that much and it costs more than $90. Usually I would have no problem spending that amount on a dress but the shop was one of those dingy looking ones along the streets, run by china people and the material sucks. When I decided not to buy, she told me she’ll gimme a 20% discount. Go fly kite lah. Wanna ‘ka’ people oso not like that one lor.
We went to look at tattoos and I think I’ve decided on which part of my body my next tattoo will be. The only thing is that I haven’t decided on a pattern yet. Since I oready have a coloured tattoo, my next one will be shaded. Therefore I NEED a good tattooist.
We went to book an appointment for Monday. That’s a good date. If it had been end of next week, I’ll be in pain during Rach’s wedding. Haha.
My darling bitches walked around Parkway with me for abit in a futile search for my white dress, then we decided to sit at Swensens. And we ordered a Sundae each. And we couldn’t finish it. And we were laughing at stupid things. Then we decided to take a cab back. Once I got home, we left the house within 15mins to go Granny’s for dinner. Wonderful right. Since Granny’s house is just beside Parkway, I still wanted to go home so I could at least change out of my office clothes. Hur Hur.
Dinner was fab as usual. The yummiest porridge with crazy amounts of ‘liao’, noodles and yu shang. I really need to learn how to cook from Grandma.
Watched the announcement of the results when Singapore won its bid to stage the first Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2010. Yay! I don't care much about the Youth Olympic but i do care about our country's main source of sustainance – Tourism. I hope everything booms for us – Singapore Flyer, F1, IR, Youth Olympic etc. Delay the damn recession!
On the news was oso Edison issuing his statement regarding the photo scandal. I’m so sad that Edison is gonna quit the entertainment industry. One less cutie to look at. He looks so cute while issuing the statement saying that he was the one who took the fotos. But seriously, I understand that this is very distressing for the girls. But all the fotos were taken willingly lor. As for Edison, I think it was damn dumb of him to let the pictures have such easy access to the public. Other than that, I don’t think it’s such a big deal and I think all there is to this saga is they damn ‘sway’ lor. And when you dare to take such fotos, you have to think that there will oways be a chance it’ll be leaked so basically, they are all asking for it. but that’s not the point. I still wanna see more of Edison in the future lah.
I nearly fell into early concussion last nite. After I washed my hair, I was drifting in and out of sleep til 2+am when I decided – I have to wake up and dry my hair!!! By then it was semi dry and fucked up so there wasn’t much to save but sitting in front of the fan just made me all the more sleepy and cold. During my state of semi-consciousness, I do remember receiving and replying some messages though. Weird. I hope I didn’t send anyone any rubbish messages.
Yay its Friday today! Can the time just please fast forward to 6pm?

I was so tired I slept the entire way home and I woke up just in time. Skipped dinner and I didn’t feel the least bit hungry. Lazed in bed watching TV and using the com all the way til close to 11pm. Went to shower, then met my bitches at Xin Wang. I forced myself to have a luncheon meat sandwich and a milk tea. The luncheon meat was weird shit man. It doesn’t taste that bad. But it’s more like meat patties. We thot they got the order wrong but apparently luncheon meat is from China and it’s inedible so they had to resort to making their own luncheon meat. Everything in China got no QC. OMG. I swear they are gonna kill the world slowly but surely.
Today is the last day of CNY, which oso means dinner will be at Granny’s. Going to leave work early and settle some of my 101 things on my list.
Number 1 priority = Get a damn white dress for next week!
It sounds bloody easy but when you don’t own any white dresses, you’ll find it near impossible to find 1 you like when you go out shopping.
Why is it like that with everything else? Why aren’t there any cabs when you need one? And why is there a long queue of cabs when you don’t need one?
Ok ignore me please.

Yesterday after work, went to Bugis with my bitches supposedly for coffee but we ended up buying things to snack on. Met Rach & Bessie after that and we went to Xian De Lai to wait for Jes. I have to say I’m actually quite sick of that place. Maybe bcos I find the place too squeezy and too hot. And I hate how the smoke gets in my face.
During dinner, we did some catching up with each other and then we got down to the main topic proper – talking about Rach’s wedding next week. It’s so soon and it’s gonna be so hectic but it’s a joyous occasion so I hope she & Ah boy can just enjoy the process of it all and not get too stressed over it. I guess I can understand that its such a big day for them and that they want everything to go smoothly but all these sometimes can lead to tension and if there’s gonna be tempers flaring with each other over their own wedding than I think that’s really not the way. Just relax and have fun. Everything will turn out perfect when the time comes so don’t lose sleep over this!
My dear Rachel has gotten so skinny lah. She weighs a grand total of 35kg now and still shrinking. By next week, I don’t even know if I will be able to see her anymore. She better fatten up and get some boobies back if not she’ll look like a child bride. Hahaha.
Anyway, after dinner, we moved opposite to Ah Chew’s for dessert. My mango sago with pomelo was so damn sweet but it’s been a long time since I last had it. Continued planning for the wedding and by the time I got home, it was oready after midnite.
*YAWN*
I am so tempted to take the day off tomorrow but I think my boss isn't gonna be too happy about it. but I really need the time to settle stuff lah. I have become a slave to the company. Boo Hoo.

Went to pick my bitches up from their homes last nite, then went to pick tubs and we went prawning. We shared 1 rod for 3 hours and it was pretty fun I gotta say. I’m not really cut out for this. I dunno when the prawn bites, and I don’t dare touch the prawns. So in the end, tubs & Chixy did the prawning and Jane did the unhooking.
I was expecting the place to be pretty empty since it was so late on a weekday but there were quite abit of people. Our catch was very sad. There was a small one, and there was one which got away, and there was one which Jane ripped the head open when she tried to pull off its pincers. Haha. The rest were just half dead cos we didn’t know how to unhook them properly.
So pretty right.. This was one of the not so big ones but the pincers are so nice and blue.
I think the nice uncle BTH us so he came over to teach us how to unhook them and how to prawn. Then he gave us a tupperware of baby fishes as bait as it’s more effective. By the end of 3 hours, we only caught around 6 prawns
……………
So he gave us more prawns in a pail.
That’s more prawns than we can ever catch lor. That was almost half a bucket of prawns? OMG he’s so nice. We went to BBQ the prawns after that and even after everyone had their fill, there was still a bad full of prawns left so I brought it home. Hur hur. I wanted to bring some home to rear but I guess they’ll die without a pump so I guess there’re all fated to be eaten.
Us being us... humping prawns. We do not spare them even after they have died..
With our prawning tactic, I think it’s not really worth it for us cos we barely catch anything and when we do, we don’t dare unhook it. But if uncle decides to be nice, then it’s more than worth it. Hahaha. I actually do like it there. Nice to slack cos we can smoke, eat and drink while we prawn and it’s so cooling there and it doesn’t stink one bit.
By the time I sent everyone back and got home and uploaded the fotos into my com, I had 2 more hours to sleep before I had to wake up for work. Luckily I dropped mum a note when I got home to ask her to wake me up cos I couldn’t hear my alarm at all. But then again, she woke me up late so I was slightly late for work.
Meeting Jes, Rach & Bessie for dinner tonite. I dunno if I should pop home to change clothes and grab the car before meeting them since Jes is ending work abit later today or if I should meet them straight from work. All I know is that I’m very tired right now. My bitches are supposed to come and find me today but I wonder if they can even wake up. Haha. Wanting the tai tais to wake up early is such a feat.

Friday nite, we were so pumped about going Batam that we had planned to stay up all nite and go prawning or whatever. But being us, we took turns to fall asleep until we only had time left to have a quick bite at Macs. Slept for another 2 hours, and it was time to wake up.
Tub’s mum sent us to Harbourfront and I had Macs for breakfast again durng the hour before we were slated to board the ferry. I had 2 Macs breakfast in a span of less than a few hours. OMG. Haha. The ferry was pretty quick and comfy so it was alrite with me.
Bye bye Merlion..
Hello Harris Resort
When we got there, there was a shuttle bus to take us to the resort which was like less than 5 mins away? –Pengz- The staff there was great I gotta say. Upon reaching, we had a welcome party waiting for us with songs and dance. We had maps given to us, we were offered strawberry milk, cookies and cold towel. That was 10+am Batam time and our check in time was 2pm so we decided not to waste time hanging around the resort cos it is damn isolated from everything else. We had some time to spare so we took a quick tour of the resort. The resort’s exterior and the facilities like the go-karting and even the Cabanas etc looked pretty disappointing so I didn’t wanna hold too much hope for our room. We took the complimentary shuttle to a shopping mall in Nagoya at 11am, which will pick us to return to the resort in 3.5hrs time so we thought that was pretty good cos by the time we get back to the resort, we were ready to check in. The ride there took about half an hour. Yep. We were at least half an hour away from the nearest shopping mall. Along the way, it was mountains and port holes and attap houses.
Now the mad part was just at Nagoya shopping mall, we spent around $200. On what, I oso dunno. And it’s not like the shopping was very shiok. The mall reminded me of a decent shopping centre in Singapore, but the things they were selling were repetitive, which reminded me of lucky plaza or something. Haha.
And we thought Indonesians were supposed to be conservative but that’s so not true. They had 2 performances running simultaneously in different parts of the shopping mall and the performers’ age range from probably 6 year olds to teenagers and they way they dance on stage is damn OMG. It’s so disturbing to see a 6 year old dancing with her legs so wide open you can see her panties and she’s shaking her hips so hard it’ll make any pedophile have a nose bleed. And everyone stops to gather round and gawk. Argh.
Anyway, upon returning back to our resort for check in, we got a very nice surprise. We got a very nice room! Apparantly there are only 2 Japanese Suites in the entire resort. There was a decent bathroom 1 big bedroom with TV, a little balcony, another big room for TV and it leads to an outdoor stone bath. In that TV room, there’s another small room that leads to another small toilet.
We watched some TV, had some ciggies, soaked in the nice stone bath, drank some tea, then we booked a 3 hour taxi that cost us about $40 to send us to dinner and back. We went to the much talked about Golden Prawn 933 which was quite a long journey away. We had nice seats by the sea and we went to choose our live seafood. We had deep fried garupa, tou miao, cereal prawns and pepper crab.
Went back to the hotel after that to walk around and then we sat by the pool for our complimentary pizza.
There was a live band playing and tubs requested a song for me. Abit later on, he decided to sing a song for me himself. I’ve got it down on video but it’s for my eyes only. Hur hur. Took a pic together, then we went back to the room for more movies!
Woke up early on Sunday morning for breakfast. I thought the breakfast was damn yucks… wanted to use the internet to check out what spas we can go to but internet was down so we decided to risk it and went to Nagoya again.
We came to a spa and I started having my doubts. It looked damn dodgy but we convinced ourselves that:
It was our resort concierge that told us about this place
It was directly opposite the big shopping mall
It was dirt cheap (massage, body scrub, body treatment, body soak for less than $40)
It was located in the premises of a hotel
We told them we wanted to get a massage together and they said ‘ok’
But I guess I ended up regretting it so much I swear I’ll never go back there again. To be fair, she did a good job of the massage and scrub. But everything else was horrendous. The place was so dingy and dirty looking, the massage bed was a mattress (Can you imagine what the damn mattress must have soaked up and there I am lying on it. Fucking sick. I don’t need no extra protein boost thank you very much) There’s no privacy at all either. While you shower, their masseuse walks in and out, leaving the door wide open. Thank goodness there weren’t anybody else around. And the place is lup sup. Nuff said.
We were in time to take the resort shuttle back but the driver kept running around doing dunno what so we decided to take a cab back instead. Thing was, once we got into a cab, the bus decided to set off too so we reached the resort at the same time. What a waste of money. $15 for that trip back –Seh-
We went around the resort to take some last minute pictures and then we decided to eat our very late lunch. We ordered a burger and fish & chips and because we were running outta time, we got them to pack up the fries. Took the resort van to the ferry terminal and its back to Singapore.
Thing is, we didn’t realize it would make a stop along the way and pick up more people. There were so many aunties and uncles it was crazy. I hate lao hiaos. They dress like sluts and they’re so damn noisy. It’s gross to watch people their age flirt with each other like they’re some sweet young thing. Better go gamble their life savings away in Batam.
Reaching Singapore was another headache of having to tahan those aunties pushing their way thru to ge to the passport scan thingy. I think it’s a damn bad idea when there’s a big crowd and there’s no proper queue. Sometimes when the scan decides to cock up, you’re pretty much screwed cos there’s a mass of people behind you. Mine didn’t work somehow but it let me thru and I went to the guy in the counter and he said ‘let me look at your finger’ then he said ‘your finger is abit dry’
…………………….
Whatever. I just got oiled at a massage afew hours ago and now you tell me my fingers are too dry? I never had a problem with finger scans cos there’s one at work and I’m the only person who never needs to rescan more than once. So save the lame excuse lah huh.
Cabbed to granny’s in time for dinner.
P.S I took a video of our room but have yet to post it up so check back if you're interested.
P.P.S Thanks darls for making this a wonderful trip. It was short but I guess we really made the best of it. I still have no idea how we managed to spend some many hundreds of dollars in less than 2 days. The things we bought weren’t that pricy, neither were the things we ate lei. And it’s not like we bought a lot of things either. Hahahaha. I love you baby and I know you really enjoyed yourself so we shall try to plan on another trip soon yah.

I left work around 11am, went to run some errands, went home to grab the car, then I went to pick my bitches up and we slacked the afternoon away at Siglap Coffee Club, stuffing our faces with food and drinks and laughing like mad women. Then, we went to Obolo and we all bought something to take away. The cakes and macarons there are really good even though they are not very cheap. After that, we went Katong Mall to walk around and we nearly bought ice cream from awfully chocolate. Hahaha. It’s like dessert death lah. This is what I call life. It was literally a sweet VDay for us.
After I sent my bitches home, I went home to rest awhile before tubs came to pick me up. We didn’t go anywhere to celebrate Vday. We went to visit somebody. And I think that was more important than going to squeeze with everybody in town. On the way back, we dropped by the petrol kiosk and we got…
I told you it was a sweet Valentine’s Day.
After we bought everything, it was a different story altogether. I thought it was absolutely hilarious. Hahaha. But then again, that’s a secret between me & my valentine. Ok maybe not so much cos I oready told Mel. Haha. So whoever wants to know, ask me yourself.
And on Valentine’s Day, I received good news. Both for me and for my dear K-Ling. C+. *wink wink*
Today’s been busy at work as usual. The boss is having one of his mood swings. One moment he’s making a joke about Chingay, one moment I can hear him shouting at his com “come on you bloody piece of shit!!” Yeah. That’s normal. I’ve more or less gotten used to hearing him spew expletives at his com. And no, I don’t consider ‘bloody piece of shit’ anywhere near vulgar. So you get my drift on how bad it can get.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow. I’m not expecting much cos it is Batam after all. But I know we’ll make the best of it and I oso know the weekend is gonna pass so damn fast. Hopefully I can spa away some of my stress and I think tubs is gonna wipe out half the seafood population. Haha.
Til next week, everybody have a great weekend!

Speaking of first thing in the morning, the building security had told me that the mad bitch had come back but once I came up, she was nowhere to be found. So I wonder what’s up her sleeves this time. Some people are just pure crazy. It’s been close to 3 months since she was told to leave and she still can’t get over it? And she must be deluded to not know that the boss doesn’t like her enough to fire her so why can’t she just move on. Even if she can’t find a job, being pesky here won’t do her any good either. I know, however, that she still keeps in contact with one of the guys in the office and oso the cleaner aunty. How do I know? Cos the cleaner aunty thinks she’s a nutjob as well and the aunty happens to like me so I get some outside info now and then.
Okok, enuff about her. First I wanna say sorry to my bitches for not being able to meet them yesterday. It was unintentional and there was really nothing much I could do about it. I didn’t expect to be out til that late cos I thought it was just a dinner k. You know I love you girls right. My bad yesterday k.
And yes. Now about yesterday. Once I got home from work yesterday, I took the car, and realized once again that the mother has left me with a near empty petrol tank. Genius. So I went to top up the damn petrol which took forever so there was only 1 cashier counter open and there was a long queue of people being held up by a couple asking stupid questions.
It was my virgin trip driving to Mandy’s and I gotta say her direction giving was good. Haha. I got there in a jiffy and didn’t get lost at all even though I came all the way from the other side of the country. Haha.
We started off with lo hei which I somehow really enjoyed (cos I think there were a lot of koropok and dressing and nuts, and very little of the other radish or carrots or whatevers). Too bad it was smoked salmon instead of raw salmon. And I oso know why I couldn’t find any fish. Cos the smoked salmon was so orange and tiny I though it was 柑皮 until I made Yuan-er try one piece of it to verify. Haha. –faints-
Steamboat following that. It was so yummy but somehow I just couldn’t eat a lot. I love the fish cake thingy with mushroom inside. Yummers. When we were all done with dinner, we all cleaned up, and then it was dessert time! Agar agar and chocolates. Those chocolates were damn good I swear.
Since it is still CNY, there’s no reason to say no to gambling. Ann, Ling, K-Ling & Tubs MJed while the rest of us played blackjack, all the way til after midnite… and I barely won/lost any money yet again, which is fine by me. It’s all in the name of good fun. Better remain stagnant than lose money right? Haha.
*Tip: It is oways the right choice to sit beside Yuan Yuan while gambling cos the chances of looking at him are lesser = you will have better luck. Hahaha. Poor Ting & Gong Wen who sat facing him lost money, as compared to Mandy and I who sat beside him, thus restricted view. LOLx.
Sent Ting home then went to Tub’s house. By the time I got home, checked my email, reply some messages and tucked myself in bed, it was probably close to 4am? SEH.
I had a great nite thanks to all my darlings. Next destination, east side. My place for swim and BBQ session. I know I’ve been saying this for damn long oready but everyone’s gotta gimme a date and time whereby it fits everybody’s schedule nicely lah.
Oh before I forget, thanks Kailing for the pashmina shawl and the pretty vial of perfume! *Muacks Muacks* Its oways so sweet of my darlings to buy stuff back when they go traveling, bcos it shows they are thinking of me even when I’m not around them. Haha.
Today is 人日 so HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYBODY! Dinner is gonna be at Granny’s and it’s gonna be damn shiok. I can’t wait. Its oso gonna be yet another lo hei. Huat ah!

I know they’ve never seen me like this before. For me, work is work, personal time is personal time. But when work starts to take over my mental state of mind, that’s when you know it’s really bad. I can work hard during office hours but I never had a problem putting work aside once the clock strikes 6 but nowadays… … I’m going fucking mad.
Picked my bitches up from Gene’s house last nite and we headed to ECP to slack after buying a drink form the drive thru. Just sitting there for that short while and chatting away was such a life saver for me. I really needed that break. But with them, I’m oways prone to falling into temptation and take up their offer of taking a day off from work to go shopping. But I can’t *sigh*
Supposed to go Mandy’s for dinner tonite but I’m wondering how the hell I’m gonna get there on time.

I think its bcos me and tubs got our pressies well settled in advance. And knowing he had given this day much thought just makes me happy enuff. I dunno if we’ll go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day, but it won’t matter even if we didn’t. Cos it’s weird being out with the whole world and their partners, fighting for space to eat, and seeing everyone carrying flowers. I love flowers but I’m not one who likes holding a bouquet and walking around. I’d be tempted as hell to put them in a paper bag and carry them around instead.
Tubs had initially planned for us to take Thursday and Friday off from work and we’ll run away from Singapore for abit but knowing my current situation, that’s near impossible so I think we’ll have a little weekend getaway instead. Work is a real bummer but he of all people would be able to understand cos he’s so much busier than me.
As oways, I’m not gonna divulge too much before things can happen cos this is pretty last min but I’m a happy girl oready. And in case things don’t go as well as planned, I wouldn’t feel that bad cos tubs came down to pick me up for lunch and Tony Roma’s was so quiet we practically had then entire place to ourselves. So before Valentine’s Day is here, I oready had a present which I love and a nice lunch.

This was a really tiring CNY I gotta say. Instead of feeling refreshed after the long weekend, I’m actually feeling more tired than ever.
Woke up bright and early on Thursday morning to collect my 1st ang pow from the parents. Went to Granny’s following that for more ang pows. It’s standard the things we do there.. sit around, munch on new year goodies, fall asleep, watch tv, play with Ethan, gamble. After all these years, I know for a fact that I’m not meant to gamble. It’s a sign. No matter how many hours I can be gambling, my money oways seems to be stagnant.
Went to visit tub’s granny at nite and then we met Dan & Sharon for a smoke.
Friday was another day of waking up early. Went to the other side of grandparents to 拜年 and once again, I nearly fell asleep there. Everything on tv was pathetic. Went to Granny’s house for lunch and pretty much stayed the rest of the day there gambling. Tubs came over and won all of Clare’s coins. Haha. Do not look down on coins bcos all in all, there was a lot of money there.
Dan, Sharon and Marcus came over to tub’s to gamble and from 9+pm, we played til 4am and I lost only $1. Fab. They decided to grab macs breakfast after that and I was so tired I could barely swallow my food.
Woke up in the late afternoon, ate lunch which dad bought for us, then we went to Lawrence’s place. I didn’t gamble this time round so I watched the stupid mahjong show on tv. Haha. We left when the show ended to pick the boy up for supper at Xin Wang. After that wad home sweet home for some beauty sleep.
Sunday, dad decided to go Xin Wang for lunch. What genius. We just had that before we went to sleep and immediately after waking up, we are going back there to eat. After lunch, we went down to Mandai crematorium to visit Grandpa. CNY will never be the same without him. Went to Qian Hu after that for the heck of it and then slacked at tub’s place til it was time for me to go Mel’s house.
It’s been a long time since everyone gathered for a karaoke session oready. Walked outside for our dinner and we were so full that there were so much food left over. Went home and MSNed with some people I haven’t spoken to in a long time.
It’s been a long weekend of either sleeping late or waking up early and being out and about. No wonder I’m so damn tired lah. The office cleaner is so nice. She gave me a $10 ang pow. Speaking of ang pows, I actually got a $2 ang pow………………… and I can’t recall who gave it to me. WTH.

We started off by having chicken rice for lunch. Ooh I miss it so much. Mandy – your mum said I can go your house to 捣乱 when she is not in the country. Haha. Bumped into my Gorgeous. It’s been ages since I last saw him lah. He’s not as shaggy looking now and he’s put on abit of weight which is good cos he was a real bean pole. People who wanna know who he is, let’s just say there’s a reason why I call him that and you can try your luck scouting for him on the bottom most floor of FEP. He’s helping his fren out so I’m not sure if he’ll be there everyday though.
Anyway, after we were ¾ done walking, me & Chixy’s legs were gonna give way so we went to Nana Thai to sit down and have a drink. And we ordered a plate of kway tiao to share. Haha. After that, we finished walking the rest of FEP and me & Chixy were really going to die so we sat outside at 7-11 for a drink and wait for Jane.
I bought nail polish, blusher, a cardigan and a skirt. After that, I realize that I don’t like the skirt, and that the blusher colour was wrong. And I doubt I’ll wear a cardigan during CNY so I guess all our CNY shopping has gone down the drain.
Somebody gave me a lift to reunion dinner after that. Thanks to Chixy. Haha. 这是个不能说的秘密. Haha. (I love this language input thingy. Don’t you realize my blog entries have been sprinkled with Chinese words. It’s kinda fun. But it oso means I’m kinda bo liao). Anyway, dinner was at Trader’s Hotel and I gotta say the food is pretty good. I like the ambience there as well. Dad said 7pm but I was the first one there. Mel and family came soon after so it was all good. They even had a DIY lo hei.
Left at around 1030pm, went home, showered, watched TV and used the com while waiting for my hair to dry, and slept by 3am. T I R E D.
Today is CNY eve and my boss is happily on holiday and has really forsaken us. Emails have been flooding in, but non from him saying ‘Happy Chinese New Year. Go ahead and take half the day off’ or something. The morning train is so damn empty and I’ve got a flu. I know there’s no link whatsoever but I’ve really no mood to be at work today. I should be at home changing my bedsheets and cleaning up my room and painting my nails and thinking what to wear for the next 2 days. It doesn’t help that I’ve to wake up super early on the first 2 days of CNY to bai nian.
My feet are still aching as we speak can. Sorry Janey. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Like I said, next time, 1 month before any occasion that calls for shopping, the 3 of us should bring our laptops out together and online shop! Sounds like a plan eh.
I guess that next time I blog will be on Monday so HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! 早生贵子~

Met my bitches at nite and we went to ECP. Jane was designated driver for the nite. Shiok. It’s nice to be driven around once in awhile. We didn’t stay out that long though. Chixy was having diarrhea and I was tired before I could reach 2am so we all called it a nite. I think it was oso we weren’t in a very comfy place. Our usual place was still open for business so we ended up sitting on the steps at the Tamiya place, where the music was loud and lights were bright. Then came 4 cats who entertained us for awhile. They were so cute lah.
I’m taking half day today to go CNY clothes shopping with my bitches. Not that I can be bothered to buy new clothes for CNY, but more like I just wanna be out shopping for the heck of it. I have been nothing but busy and flustered this morning so I really need the break from work. I’ve said it before but I’m gonna say it again – I hate liaising with people who are half the world away. When I’ve got important things to settle, US is having a nice sleep. Anyway my reunion dinner is tonite so I might as well be out and about so that I can go for dinner straight away since it’s in town anyways.
Those having the whole/ half day off tomorrow, lucky you cos it’s a full day of work for me. That’s unless the boss remembers us on his vacation and drops us a mail saying we can go off early. Sometimes I really don’t fancy the way he handles things. But since he has been nothing but nice to me so far, I shall not complain.

Bcos daddy was around the area on Friday, the picked me up from work and then we went to pick mummy and the boy from home and went to Xin Wang for dinner. The cheese baked pork chop with spaghetti is really nice! I oso had my usual 奶茶 + Chin Chow. But the China waitress couldn’t understand what chin chow was (WTF. I know they are cheap labour but at least know some damn basic English lah. It’s a HK café not a china café). And bcos I have no idea what chin chow is in chinese, I did a direct translate and said 青草 and she gave me a hellavu blur look. Apparently its 仙草 –rolls eyes- Whatever. This is Singapore for goodness sake.
Anyway, I can’t remember what I did after dinner but tubs decided to go to the supermarket and buy food to whip up a meal. It is times like this when I’m so glad there’s a 24 hour Cold Storage nearby. After our grocery shopping, met Jane for awhile to talk cock before heading home.
While chatting with Jane, tubs saw someone drive past. And little did we know that that person was not supposed to be seen cos he was seen at the wrong time, with the wrong company. Haha. Anyhoos, either guilt got the better of him or it has been that long since he had some alone time, but that call was nice. Short, but it’s our kinda conversation, which I have to say I miss. Even though we have nothing to hide, cos that little thing we had was eons ago, it’s so much more than that. It’s just a whole new level of conversation that we have that’s hard to come by. And when there are other people around, it’s just so different that we can completely disregard each other. I swear we have the weirdest relationship ever. I think it’s bcos we used to spend too much time alone together in the past and suddenly we just both disappeared. So when we both make appearances with other people around, we are inept in carrying our usual style of conversation. An obligatory ‘how have you been’ is just too weird for us.
Before people start to jump to conclusions, let me just say that he is someone I love as a fren but oso someone I couldn’t bring to love as a BF. I know sometimes the way we talk borders on that very fine line of flirting but it’s as harmless as anything can get. We are both in very happy relationships for the past couple of years and there’s no way the line will be crossed for each other. There. Happy now?
Once home, my chef whipped up a meal of cod, salmon and mushroom & potato soup. But the time the cooking was done and the food finished, it was almost breakfast time lor. And we were so stuffed, it was horrible.
It’s been a long time since I last slept in on a Saturday. It’s so shiok lor. When we finally woke up, we went to KFC for a late lunch and I still dun understand why tubs bought the meal enuff to feed 4 people. After I had 2 pieces of chicken and he 4, we wanted to die oready so we tapaoed it, together with the remaining fries, nuggets and popcorn chicken for the boy, whom we picked up from siglap.
Went shopping in Orchard after that and tubs and I bought a pair of shoes each. Thank goodness our tastes are pretty agreeable cos we picked shoes for each other. I love my Aldo heels even though it’s taller than any other pair of heels that I own (and everybody knows how tall my heels are). It’s so ironic that even though ¾ of Aldo was on sale, my pair weren’t but I’m oways for spending for a pair of nice shoes.
After all the shops had closed, we headed back to tub’s and fell asleep til 3+am. Took both cars, went back to my place to drop off my car, then we went ECP for macs breakfast. While eating in the car, tubs spilled his Milo, then I spilled my Milo. Fanfuckingtastic.
Went home, slept for afew more hours, got up and followed him back to office –seh- Was so bored and tired there that I took a short nap then by evening, we went Parkway to buy 年货. And I bought a top from Mango. This time tubs didn’t stop me cos he said CNY buy new clothes nvm. Haha. The thing is, I took another top to pair it together with what I bought and he said I didn’t need it. So I only bought 1 top. But after thinking about it, I still feel that both the tops goes very well with each other so like he says ‘even if you don’t buy now, you sure buy during the weekdays when I’m not with you’. Haha. Sometimes he does seem to know me quite well. But I shall not waste money. I shall not spend $60 on such a plain tank top. So I shall go home today and raid my cupboard for something similar. If I can’t find anything, then it’s really not my fault oready.
Went to Granny’s for dinner after that and followed tubs to see him polish his car at nite. I still think he’s mad for wanting to polish his car at such a late hour when there’s work the next day.
Oh. And earlier in the week, Jes met with an accident. I hope my dear girl is feeling better now! She didn’t even wanna tell me until Rachel told me about it. I bet she has a phobia of taking cabs now. It didn’t help that after the accident, the cab driver wasn’t even concerned about whether she was fine or not! My dear girl had to take afew days off from work. I dunno what exactly happened but I can sorta imagine the impact just based on the pictures she sent me. The cab was facing the wrong side of the road and the road barrier was uprooted. If you didn’t think a slab of concrete can be uprooted, think again. *sigh* I hate to stereotype but cab drivers can be a real hazardous and irresponsible bunch of people.
Ok people, I gotta rush some work now.

Last nite I didn’t go out. I was so tired I thought I was gonna die. I just lay in bed and couldn’t move. Apart from dragging myself downstairs to meet tubs and have a smoke, I was pretty much immobilized. I didn’t even see him out and concussed straight after he left. That was scary. I don’t think I’ve been that tired before. But bcos I got more than 5 hours of solid sleep, I’m feeling much better now. To think of the number of hours I’ve slept each nite starting from last week is insane. It’s a wonder I didn’t fall terribly sick or faint at work or something.
But it’s Friday –beams- And I know I can sleep in tomorrow so I’m pretty happy. Anyway, as usual, once the boss is not around, everybody goes crazy and now I’m the only person left in the office. Haha.
