Coming back to work makes me sick. How I wish time can fast forward just by 1 or 2 months. That would be fab. As with recent weekends, didn’t do much this weekend. But neither did I get much sleep. Just lotsa rest & relax.
Friday after work, tubs came to pick me up and then we had ban mian for dinner. Went to meet Chixy, Jane & Tiger at nite for prawning and after 3 hours, they still get enuff of it so they extended their time. Had macs breakfast after that and then went to bed. That is so terrible but that’s the life man.
Slept til late on Saturday and tubs had to go for his IPPT so he dropped me off at Heartland Mall and Chixy accompanied me cos Kel had to go for his RT at the same camp as tubs and at the same time as well. Heartland Mall is a bloody boring place and don’t ask me how, but me & Chixy managed to do quite a fair share of shopping. I think we are quite power. After tubs was done, he came to pick us up and we dropped Chixy off back at Kel’s house. Didn’t do much for the rest of the nite other than going for supper at nite and then going to find Alex for awhile.
Woke up around noon on Sunday and went for lunch. For the rest of the day, we pretty much lazed around at home until evening. Went to Parkway to walk around, attempting to find a present for the mother but didn’t find anything appealing *sigh*. Went to Granny’s house for dinner and then went Parkway with Mel & tubs for some grocery shopping for our weekday lunch. Haha. It was quite terrible. We wanted to buy something healthy for lunch and we kept looking at the wrong stuff. We kept looking at yummy and fattening stuff. And after finally finishing grocery shopping, we decided to buy donuts at Munchy’s. I thought we were going to buy 1 or 2 each to eat for kicks. Then I decided to buy just 1 or 2 more to let my bitches try. And we ended up with a dozen donuts. Hahaha. I think tubs got a shock when we came out with a huge box.
Sat near Mel’s place to talk for awhile then it was back to tub’s house and I watched Kingdom of Heaven til I fell asleep and he didn’t even bother waking me up. I think. –scowls- by the time I finally left his house, it was oready 1+am and I went to pick Chixy from Kel’s house and then we went to pick Jane and we bought drinks and sat at Chixy’s poolside to feast on donuts, chips and drinks. We weren’t our usual self so we didn’t OD on the food. In the end I brought home the remaining donuts, which was quite a lot. When we left, Jane could still say that it was time for Macs breakfast. I wanted to slap her. Haha.
So with barely 3 hours of sleep and a brand new Monday at work, I’m not in the best of moods. *sigh* I proposed a business plan to tubs and Mel and tubs and he says he’ll work and support me if I were to set up my own business. Hur hur. Setting up a business is a real bitch in Singapore. It’s all about the money baby. Anybody wanna invest in my business? Ask me personally to hear my business plan. Hahaha.
And yes, today is the mother’s birthday. I wonder if the father has anything planned for her this evening. And I so haven’t gotten her anything lah. Shit.

Yesterday once I got home after work, I changed into something more comfy and then went to pick Jane up. We went to Parkway and I bought some presents. April is full of birthdays and I only managed to settle gifts for 2 people. We oso went to Giant and we were suppressing our natural urge to OD on grocery shopping. We ended up getting 2 big bottles of drink, 2 bags of chips and a cheesecake. Chixy was at home preparing dinner for us and wasn’t ready yet so………………… We ended up eating at mos burger. Haha. I was hungry lor. I didn’t eat lunch and that time was oready 8+pm so you really can’t blame me. Jane being the aunty went to Crystal Jade and bought shit loads of pastries cos it was on offer.
After we were done eating, we went to Chixy’s coop and it was dinner time part ii. Haha. Even though I wasn’t hungry by then, we still ate cos I can’t possibly let all her efforts go to waste and it was so yummy. We had chicken & potato stew and oso tom yum soup which was full of ingredients. Shiok. Then tiger called and he dropped off J-Co donuts he bought from Batam. We were so damn stuffed we didn’t even touch anything else after dinner so we slacked in Chixy’s room surfing rubbish websites and laughing til our stomachs hurt.
Went to my place after that and I washed my hair and then we took all our snacks and went to ECP for our midnite picnic.
I think we are really inhuman. We are really ECP kids I swear. We keep finding better places at ECP to slack at. I think we’ll stick at our new place for quite awhile cos our new spot is near the car park, near a toilet, and we have our own hut which is super clean and comfortable. Nowadays we see so many more police cars patrolling the beach and yesterday’s policeman actually waved at us as he drove past. Haha.
Went home, MSNed awhile then went to bed. I think me and my bitches will never tire of each other. The amount of time we spend together is more than the time we spend with our other halves.
Our typical day – When they wake up from their slumber (and when I’m at work) in the day, we chat online or on the fone.. After that, we meet for dinner followed by shopping after I’m done with work or sometimes we meet slightly later in the nite if we decide to have dinner at home. And if we do meet later at nite, we would be on MSN before meeting. After we meet and we go home, we’ll go back on MSN to chat before sleeping. And the whole cycle starts again the next day. And the next, and the next. And sometimes we even meet on weekends except our BFs tag along since the guys are so comfortable with each other anyways.
That’s what I call love. I love my bitches to bits and we are oways talking about having a place of our own and how life would be staying together. Apart form the scandalous things that would happen i.e. random late nite visitors (haha), we oso decided that it may not be such a good idea after all cos
1. We’ll go broke on shopping – I mean ANY form of shopping – online shopping, clothes shopping, grocery shopping, furniture shopping etc
2. We’ll never get to sleep cos we can just talk cock the whole damn nite
3. We’ll wake all our neighbours up by the amount of noise we make
4. We’ll be eating the whole day
5. We’ll be scaring each other to death with horror movies and stories
We’ve been like this since sec sch even though we have been in the same school since Pri 1. That’s like WTF. It’s been close to 20 years seeing each other everyday lor. Hahaha. We only got closer in sec school and as much as our lifestyle changed over the years, the amount of time we spend with each other is no much different.
Sec school – See each other since 7am til school ends in the afternoon. Go lunch or gallivanting. If we’re not out together, we’ll be writing each other letters or paging each other (OMG I haven’t used that word in a long time. Hahahhaha) or on the fone with each other.
After sec school, we are forever out with each other too and once we’re home, we’ll be on the fone with each other. And I worked with Chixy at a dreaded restaurant at Suntec too. I still remember our Cartel days, Sparks days, sleep over days, doing our hair together, neoprint days, FEP days, Taka square days(hahaha), our Jap food @ Pacific Plaza days and oso all the time when guys in our lives came and went etc. It was a hell lot of fun but one thing that remained constant was our shopping and food. Haha. I lub them so much and I dunno what I’ll do without them. I know my bitches can’t do without me either lah. Hahahaha.
I think being too tired has made me a little bonkers. I still feel woozy after the shiok nap on the bus while coming to work.

After a mad morning at work yesterday, took the second half of the day off and cabbed down to bedok to meet my bitches to dye our hair. We knew it would take the entire afternoon so we bought bread and drinks and when we went to the salon, it was closed. Wonderful. Saw Uncle Roland at the supermarket with Aunty Molly. Wanted to say something but decided against it cos I wouldn't know who would chance upon my blog.
Cabbed down back to the Marine Parade side and lunched at Roxy and saw Marcus’s mum there. Even though I’m there so much and she’s working there, this was the first time I actually bumped into her there. Finally decided on salon to do our hair and that was were we sat right til close to 7pm. –faints- Chixy and Janey looks like twins now cos they had the same haircut and their colour was pretty much similar. Mine is hardly noticeable but I don’t mind that much cos touch ups can be a real pain in the ass and I don’t wanna come back to work the next day and give everyone the shock of their lives. So basically, the lower layers of my hair is a lighter shade while my top layers are a darker shade. If the wind doesn’t blow, then I guess it’s not that noticeable. Haha.
For the first time ever, I finished doing my hair before my bitches cos I started first and also my dye job was less of a hassle. Went up to do my monthly appointment and when I was done, my bitches were still at the salon lah. Thank goodness everything was in the same building. By the time they were done with their hair, they decided to change their monthly appointment to another day and so we went to Parkway to walk around abit. I think I’m too used to buying something when I’m out so I ended up buying stickers…
Haha.. I know.. It’s like WTF. But I think they are really nice. They are glow in the dark and the texture is so nice! One of them feels like sparkly sandpaper while the other one is soft and puffy.
My bitches had Korean at the foodcourt for dinner but I was still stuffed from lunch so I gave it a miss.
Went Borders and I nearly bought random stuff from Paperchase but they were closing so I guess that will have to wait til another day. I was so damn tired after that that after we cabbed home, I showered and immediately became one with my bed. So I was pretty much stuck there MSN-ing and watching TV and while waiting for my bitches to confirm whether we were meeting again, I nearly feel asleep and I was super crabby. I can’t remember much of the conversations that went on while stuck on my bed but sorry if I snapped at anyone. I doubt I did but then again, when I’m tired.. anything can happen. all I know was that I was on the fone with tubs and I was super crabby to him. But he was real patient and he knew I was like that cos I was so damn tired and I felt so bad after that.
Sorry darls for being so crabby to you. *muackz*
My bitches finally decided to meet and so I went to pick them up in my semi-conscious state and we bought a drink from Macs drive thru and sat near Bedok Jetty. The wind was mad I swear. It was winter wonderland at the beach man. And then Jane spotted something…
Haha. And we wanted to catch it.. But I think we are too used to seeing crabs that are tied up in tanks in the supermarkets and we grossly underestimated this one.. When we threw a stick at it to test it’s response first before attempting to capture it, it ran like the wind. It was so damn fast it looked like it was floating and it was gone in a matter of seconds.
There goes our catch of the day. Haha. But we were all glad it ran AWAY instead of towards us cos there’s no way we could have out-ran it. LOLx. One thing that got us wondering was why the crab’s eyes were so weird. There was something sticking out of it lor. Looks quite sick actually… Somebody please educate me. Here's a close up shot..

Stayed awhile more, then we went home, then somehow I didn’t feel so tired anymore, so I MSNed some more til 4+am and decided I better get some sleep. And so I did and I nearly couldn’t wake up this morning. *sigh*
Some random pictures which I forgot to post but I so can’t be bothered to retrace which entries they were from so I shall just post them for fun. Here goes....

The resident cat from the prawning place resting after it was done killing and playing with the mouse it caught. The picture looks wrong somehow.. It looks like as if they managed to kill each other. Haha
The day's catch..
Humongous pincers which somehow doesn't look that huge in the picture but i remembered it being a real killer..
Spot the cat.. It didn't even wanna wake up even though we were standing around it taking pictures and making noise. When we passed by it again afew hours later, it was still fast asleep but in another more comfortable position. Haha.
I know my pictures are all of animals. Haha
This morning, the cleaner aunty bought me a damn solid and super yummy banana walnut muffin and a chocolate chip muffin for breakfast. It’s good to feel some love from the office. It not, it’s so deathly cold and quiet that it’s so very unnerving over here.

I didn’t even wanna attempt walking to Bugis Village in that weather so I got Janey to meet me at Bugis Junction instead. But by the looks of all the dry people walking around, I’m guessing the rain at Bugis wasn’t as bad. Bugis bores me.. Walked around and we didn’t see anything that caught our fancy so we ended up having dinner at Sakae. I had the bento set which was so yucky and that really put a full stop to my dinner. As much as I didn’t finish it, I was near bursting and the after-dinner ciggie didn’t help one bit. Cabbed home and there was a skyline that stopped beside the cab. I have such mixed feelings towards it. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I think it’s ugly. But the one I saw yesterday kinda took my breath away. But either ways, the new skyline is back with a bang and I don’t see why I would mind a piece of this classic ass
Was dead tired by the time I got home, so I took a half hour nap which helped a lot.
Picked my bitches up after that and we went to Xin Wang. After we were done with drinks there, we went to Cold Storage for supermarket shopping. We spent a damn long time there lah. Haha. We just simply love 24 hour supermarkets. It really brings out the aunty in us.
Sat outside munching on Yan Yan and having a ciggie before we decided to call it a nite.
Total sleep time = 2 hours.
FAB.

Thursday, went home to get the car after work and then met K-Ling at Bugis to meet prospect future employers for coffee. I think we were very heng cos Liang Seah is oways a killer when it comes to finding a parking lot but once we reached, we immediately got a place. Stayed til around 11pm then went over to tub’s after that and slept the nite away unintentionally. Haha.
Friday was prata for breakfast, then went home to sleep the afternoon away. Dinner at Werners. Yummers. Met Dan & Sharon at Punggol Park at nite for drinks and then went to Mas Ayu after that for supper.
Saturday, pretty much slacked at home until evening time, went to test drive a car, then went to Punggol, and at nite, Dan & Sharon came to pick us up and we went…. Boat Quay. Haha. It’s been a long time since I last went there. 10 years later and it’s still the same. Ah Bengs & Ah Lians loitering around, but now it’s worse. Because of the smoking ban, you see girls smoking outside the pubs and it reminded me of the Geylang girls if you know what I mean. And it really brought me back to yesteryear when someone decided to fight over a godsister. Hahaha. So out went a glass bottle but sad thing was it didn’t come in use. Anyway, the 3 of us shared a bottle of Chivas, after which we went to Swee Choon for supper. Why am I not surprised we ordered so much that I nearly threw up after that, but we still managed to finish everything up.
Slept barely afew hours before I had to get up and tubs sent me to Mandai in the morning. Went to Seletar country club after that and lunch was fab. Went home after that, attempted to sleep, then tubs came. Went granny’s house for dinner and I hardly ate anything cos I was still full from lunch. What a bummer cos she cooked her yummy curry. Went Parkway after that to grab some toiletries and bumped into Jane & Tiger. Had a smoke with them then went home. I bought a new toy which tubs was more than happy to try out on me. So once we got home, he tried out my new curling tongs and I gotta say my hair is one stubborn bitch. Either that or he’s just doing it the wrong way.
Received a call on the office fone. It was some recorded message telling you to press ‘9’ because you have a message. But because my Chinese is so bad, I couldn’t really figure out what it was saying and I hung up bcos seriously, nth important comes in the form of a recorded message and a voicemail. Then I remembered the damn scam which has been going round. Apparently once you answer the fone, a recorded message of a China woman says she’s calling from the court or something and blah blah blah.. Basically they’ll try to get you to transfer money to some bank account. I should have pressed the damn button and once it’s been transferred to a human being, I’ll screw the fucker up so bad that he/she will regret ever using my office number. I’m in a damn bad mood today man. And I am kinda glad all this cock up and great big mess will be over by 2 months. I can’t wait *sigh*
Oh and before I forget, GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!! Haha. I think the asshole must be a very sad asshole. But then again, spineless losers like him do deserve to be sad.
Went to find Rachel for lunch just now. Only people like us would order $17 worth of kuay chap and not be able to finish it. Haha. But it’s seriously taking effect and I think I’m gonna fall asleep very soon.

I should have just skipped the emailing part cos I think that was a big part of what caused me to ‘wake up’ and it took quite awhile just to send one bloody email which was 1 sentence long. Why? Cos when I breezed into office around 945am, nobody is in at all lah.. Kaoz. But it’s ok. I like being alone at work. I think I can work better this way.
Now as to why I had to sleep in a little so damn badly.. Tubs came over yesterday and we both fell asleep at 9+pm.. When I woke up, it was oready close to 1am and I woke him up to go home. And I felt so awake and my bitches wanted to meet so I picked Jane up and we headed to Chixy’s place. We sat at the poolside and talked cock and then we realized it was less than an hour before 4am.. so we called Macs delivery and ordered breakfast. They said ‘We’ll reach before 445am’ and we were thinking ‘WTF’ but we were convinced they wouldn’t reach THAT late since Macs was pretty nearby and we had made an advanced order… But little did we know, as we waited and waited, we started to feel sleepy and we kinda lost our appetites… and the delivery finally came at 445am. Bravo. Thank goodness it was a good breakfast. We all went home after that and I was thinking there’s no way in hell I can wake up after having less than 2 hours of sleep.. But I guess I was wrong.
As of now, I’m still feeling quite fresh. Ok ‘fresh’ does not apply to me at all. I’m either just awake or dead tired. So as of now, I’m feeling quite awake, which I find kinda unfathomable. Haha.
Tomorrow is Good Friday. I usually love public holidays but the BF is working. Who the hell works on a public holiday.. who the hell works on weekends.. and who the hell works til close to midnite.. *sigh* Sebei sian. It’s time to find new tiuz.

Yesterday after work, rushed home, took the car, and went down to Taka to meet my bitches. And because we never made it past Wisma (yes, we spent the whole time only at Wisma and we didn’t even finish walking Wisma), I didn’t make any rash purchases at Tiffany like how I had first planned.
Instead, I started off by buying 2 cardigans and a dress at Cotton On. But it wasn’t satisfying at all cos the lousy quality of their clothes is quite a turn off.. Then we walked past Nine West and that’s when I bought myself yet another pair of heels.
Now THAT was shiok. I love my heels –beams-
Then we had dinner at Wisma foodcourt. The Jap food was a real killer. We were so damn stuffed after that. Shops were oready more or less closed by the time we were done with dinner but being us, we leave no stone unturned so we sneaked into Topshop which was oready closing and I bought a T-shirt that said ‘Your son is in good hands’.
Hahahaha. Looks like I got something new to wear to tub’s place oready. Lolx. But that, I admit is a damn rash purchase cos I usually don’t spend more than $50 on a T-shirt. If the shop wasn’t closing, I may have given it more thought and very possibly would not have bought it. But what’s done is done. And retail therapy really does work for me.
My bitches followed me home after that to wait for me to wash my hair and Jane decided to terrorize the boy and she commented on his ‘silky boxers’. Hahahaha. We went to Xin Wang after that for coffee all the way until closing time.
That’s when we decided to do something abit bo liao, but then again, we can’t help being kaypoh.. So we went somewhere trying to be spies, only to get caught red-handed. Hahahaha. It was so damn coincidental and totally unexpected. The funny part was after that when Chixy came to the conclusion that we scared our ‘target’ off. Haha. Sometimes guys are like prawns. Must walk the line, tease the line, before going in for the kill and yanking them out of the water. If not they won’t bite and they’ll escape. Hahaha. Omg. The guys reading this isn’t going to be too thrilled by the comparison.
Anyway, went home and when I was online and I kept getting disconnected so SORRY to everyone I was chatting with on MSN yah. Not my fault really cos I was having some of the most entertaining conversations ever. Haha. I finally gave up at 4am and decided to try get some sleep.

I haven’t been in the best of moods today. I dunno why. Maybe it’s the piece of bad news I got in the morning, maybe I’ve just been generally crabby after THE announcement cos I’m feeling all vulnerable. But somebody’s email brought my spirits up a little, only for it to plummet again.
Maybe it’s PMS. But I am very pissed off now. And I can’t put a finger to the reason why. I feel like buying something nice for myself. I think that may gratify me a little. I know I should be saving money, but at the same time it feels so sickening to withhold myself and not indulge.
I think I may be spending too much on other people and not enuff on myself! And of course, people are not spending enuff on me. Haha. It may sound superficial, but it’s not like I’m saying my love is measured by money what. But as a girl, I do feel the need to be pampered. And it is a fact that I like pretty things. Some people have no qualms spending on food. I have no problem spending on clothes and shoes and accessories. At least the things I like can be looked at and worn and appreciated time and again. Not just something you chew, swallow, and shit out.
Ok I do realize I’m morphing into a mini bitch now and I better stop before I become a full-blown one. I think to make myself feel better, I shall go buy myself something nice later. Maybe not a Gucci bag cos I haven’t set my sights on any, maybe just a little feel-good trinket from Tiffany. Hopefully that does the trick.
Or maybe all I have to do is meet my bitches and they’ll make me feel better. Cos it is them who have time for me and it is them who listens, and it is them who understands, and dishes out advice without pissing me off.

I guess this Sunday’s BBQ was a success cos the weather was really cooperative and everybody who was supposed to come, came. Yay!
Friday nite, before all the mayhem on Sunday comes, tubs and I went to Pierce Reservoir to spend some quiet time alone together and just talk. After that, we went to pick Chixy up from Sandilands and went to Xin Wang and stayed there til early morning. After that was home to sleep til late afternoon.
Cooked instant noodles at home for lunch and my master chef screwed my noodles up big time. It was so damn salty I could barely eat half of it and it made me feel so sick after that.
Went to Giant at nite to buy stuff for Sunday’s BBQ and we chalked up quite a bill. Grabbed stuff until it struck midnite and they were closing and it is times like this when I really wish I was still staying at the old place where we would have to lug everything from the car, to the lift, then to the house.
Once we got home, it was unpacking, defrosting, preparing the meats and marinating. By 2am, we decided to take a break and head out to Macs for a late dinner. Haha. More like supper actually… Did a quick dinner at Macs, then it was home again to continue and we slogged in the kitchen all the way til 5am. Bravo.
Hit the sack and thought we’d only wake up the next afternoon but I had a dream about Grandpa and I couldn’t sleep again after that. I dreamt we were all at Granny’s old place and I was supposed to take a photo for mum and Grandma (at that time, Grandpa had oready passed away). Just when I was gonna snap, I realized that on the camera screen, I see a gap between mum and Grandma and Grandpa was sitting in between both of them. But when I looked up, he wasn’t really there. It was only in the photo that I could see him.
I woke tubs up to tell him about it and then we decided to go for breakfast. Haha. So we went for Macs drivethru and then went home again. Relaxed at home til afternoon, then we went to the BBQ wholesale shop at Frankel to get more stuff. Got home, brought everything down to the pit, set up the table and chairs, and my master chef started the fire going.
Soon everybody came and even though the food came very slowly and I ate very little, I was bloated like hell after awhile. I hope everybody had fun. I had wanted to take a picture of our hard work but I guess I was too tired to even bother.
*Update Thanks to Mandy, we'll never have shortage of photos so here goes..
Missing in action are pictures of the prawns, beef, drinks etc etc. But I'm sure you get the idea.
Like tubs said – “Never again”. I kinda agree. Haha. And Sunday really isn’t the best of days cos there’s work the next day. I think one of the main reasons why it was so tedious is bcos my master chef can’t just buy food and cook them. Marinating the chicken, peeling the prawns and marinating them, cutting the beef and marinating, making potato salad from scratch etc was so damn tiring and time consuming.
But I’d rather have a solid BBQ once in a long while and everyone get decent food to eat and not worry that there isn’t enuff food to go round. So in good fun and for the sake of a good gathering, it is all worth it.
By the time we cleared up, went home, showered etc, I managed to crawl into bed at 2am, which isn’t considered late at all but bcos I was so tired, I expected to fall asleep immediately BUT I tossed and turned for the longest time before being able to fall asleep. WTH.
Thank you darls for being a great help this weekend. I really couldn’t have managed without you. And I gotta say the boy was a big help too. Thanks everyone for coming. Next outing will NOT be a BBQ at my place. Haha. I think steamboats are so much easier to handle. And I just realized that the BBQ was held at my place cos it was belated housewarming. And……. At the end of the nite, nobody got to see my house. Haha.
The cleaner aunty just told me that the mad bitch called her on Saturday to ask her about stuff regarding the office. It’s been like how many fucking months since she has been fired and she still acts like she owns the place. OMG. If I see her, I’ll give her 1 tight slap to wake her up even though I know it’ll be useless cos she’s beyond redemption. She even told ther cleaner aunty she knows what’s going on in the office and that I dunno anything and she still checks on the aunty to see if she’s doing her job. She says she has insider info from head office in Dallas. How absolutely fucking crazy can a person get? Whoever employs her next is in for a rude shock I swear. She better not piss me off further cos if she does, I’m gonna make sure she gets it so bad she won’t be able to get another decent job for the rest of her life. And if other people have to bear consequences bcos of her, I dun give a shit cos it’s just their bad luck for being so dumb and feeding her info they shouldn’t even be doing.

Supposed to leave work early yesterday to meet Jane for some shopping but thank goodness that woman was late cos I got an email and I had to make last minute flight arrangements which really held me up. Even when I left office, it wasn’t settled yet so I had to liaise with the travel agent and my boss on my hp.. while shopping.. on international call. I hate it.
Yesterday we only managed to walk Suntec. We started off having pepper lunch then we started shopping. And all I bought was undies from Topshop and La Senza. So now I have 3 new panties, I new pair of shorts, 1 bra and 1 cami which I wore to work today under my cardigan. Tubs is gonna kill me if he sees me cos he thinks it’s highly inappropriate for work….
I think I had a lot of energy yesterday bcos the weather was good (Ok it was freezing) and I was really intent on buying something. And it oso helps that I went to fix my poor heels so for the next few hours, I was flip flopping around Suntec in slippers.
Chixy was supposed to meet us but she had something to do which was taking way too long so at 6+pm, tubs came to pick us up and we went to Hanabi to wait for da Chix. We went crazy as usual. And we were so damn stuffed after that. We were all so tired after that but we couldn’t decide where to go and Chixy refused to go home so we ended up having Gelare @ Siglap.
There were this bunch of young kids who were making such a ruckus which got tubs seriously pissed off. They occupied the entire smoking area except for 1 table which we took. I bet they were underage smokers cos they asking each other to buy ciggies and they bought 1 pack which ALL of them shared
………………………
And they bought soap bubbles to blow which nearly landed in Chixy’s ice cream. WTF. And the best part was all of them were having drinks from Starbucks which was next door and not a single purchase from Gelare was in sight. Fucking bunch of morons.
This reminds me of me & Mel’s lunchtime conversation on Wed. We were talking about how hard it is to find guys with the right English-Chinese mix.
Guys who are too ‘Chinese’ somehow seem to have different frequency levels. The way they understand is different, and their interests are somehow different as well. A good example will be the ex. As much as I know he’ll make a good BF/Hubby, I cannot see myself living his lifestyle forever. You will oways get the ‘kampong boy’ feel from him and he is far too conservative and possessive, which is very typical of Chinese guys. When you hug another guy, it’s as if you’re cheating on your BF… the places I like to go, whether its F&B places or clubs etc, is totally different. The kind of movies we like to watch is different. And the best part is when we argue. He shouts at me in Chinese and I shout at him in English. And half the time we don’t catch exactly what each other is trying to say. Classic. Quite funny thinking back but at that point of time, you get so pek chek you can burst a blood vessel.
For the ‘Ang Moh pais’, they can’t speak a word of proper Chinese for nuts, which I find is not very ‘Singapore’. And I believe for some (or most) of them, its bcos they think speaking Chinese is not cool or whatever. They think English is king and sometimes the slang that comes with the way they speak really gives me goosebumps. If you haven’t stayed abroad for more than afew years and your accent doesn’t tally with anything, its as good as saying ‘I have low self confidence and hopefully other people will think my accent = good English’. Seriously. Go take notice and their accent is neither here or there. OMG. And usually they way these people act are damn nauseating too. They talk loud, act like they own the world, sit there and swirl wine the whole nite when I doubt they actually enjoy it, smoke cigars (another thing which I oso doubt they noe how to truly appreciate) and the list goes on. Don’t act like high society when you are nothing and it just makes them appear truly childish. Doing grown up things when your brain is still stuck in sec school mode just makes them look like downright asses.
We came to the conclusion that actually the Ah Bengs are more fun to be around but the Ang Moh Pais are easier to converse with and generally look better. I don’t think we are torn between the 2. I just think there are not enuff guys that land in between the 2 spectrums. And I think this is so bcos guys are not trying hard enuff to adapt to other people’s way of life. They find their comfort zone and they are stuck there, which makes their own kind grow over time so there will oways be 2 distinctively different groups of guys. That’s really sad if you ask me. I think we need some balance.
Personally, I feel a little scared that my standard of English has dropped over the years. And even though I’m speaking better Mandarin now, its still hasn’t reached the comfortable level. But living in Singapore, I think I’d rather be good in both than be perfect in one and CMI in another. And thank goodness the people around me are pretty balanced in this sense as well.
Before I forget,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL!
To 18 years of friendship and even though sometimes I do think you should be called ‘Devil’ instead, I still love you! The past 18 years have been a blast with you around and I know we will have many years more to add on to the memories.
I really wanted to go Zouk yesterday but I was in serious need of sleep but I’ll make it up to you and we’ll meet up soon yah. Anyway it was freezing yesterday and wearing shorts & slippers to Zouk is a recipe for disaster. I think the theme should have been ‘Winter Wonderland’ instead. Haha.
For everybody else, don’t ask me why I go Zouk on a Thursday. Either you know it or you don’t.
I so need to go extract my wisdom tooth soon.. Next week sounds like a plan BUT I’m so damn dry this month and it’s only mid month. I swear my last dental visit took a huge chunk out of my bank account man.. Dammit. And bcos I have Goldfish memory. I may have given the mother double allowance this month. So clever.
Ok here’s something just for laughs for the last day of the work week..
And here’s something even funnier..
And somehow by looking at this, you can actually hear him singing in your head ‘Your body is a wonderland’
Hahahahhaahaha
Yes, that IS John Mayer.
Have a good weekend everyone and I’ll see my darlings on Sunday, one way or another. Bad weather is so not going to spoil our fun I swear.

Yesterday after work, went Parkway to meet the folks for dinner but since I was early, I walked around abit first and I bought a skirt. A skirt which I’m afraid I won’t wear cos I bought it for the heck of it. As usual.
Went home, watched some TV, went to pick Chixy up, then we went to buy snacks and drinks before going to meet Jane & Tiger for prawning. Chixy was on form and she managed to catch afew in a short span of time and they were all huge! One was so big and fierce we had to get the uncle to unhook it for us and it managed to grab hold of Jane and her finger started bleeding. OMG lor.
I left before 1am to go tub’s house and I fell asleep there.. By the time I woke up, it was close to 3am and since they were oready BBqing and eating the prawns by then, I went to pick Chixy up to send her home. Super steam….
So I guess from there you can roughly guess what time I got home and what time I slept.. I know it’s my own doing, but I can’t wait for the weekend to come so that I can catch up abit more on my sleep.
I think the skies have once again decided to open up. At least cos from where I am, it looks so gloomy outside. But taking half day and going shopping with my bitches never fails to cheer me up. At least I have my trusty brolly with me.
Ciaoz~

I think I’ve been listening too much to Mambo songs. I REALLY miss Zouk. If only Chixy wasn’t starting work so soon. Then we can go club the nite away and not worry about not being able to wake up for work the next day. I can imagine us going to Swee Choon for supper after that and complaining how stuffed we are after that. Typical us.
Was watching TV and there was thing guy which really reminded me of Ah Huat. But I couldn’t be sure cos even though many things matched like his name, his looks and his occupation, it has been too long a time since I last saw him, and oso his mannerism was totally different. The Ah Huat I used to know was loud-mouthed and cocky and playful and never failing to get into fights. Every clubbing session with him was oways dangerous cos he offends people so easily. The Ah Huat I saw on TV yesterday was so toned down. I think even ‘toned down’ is too mild a word to use. He was omost shy and very meek. I smsed him after the show and he confirmed it was him. I do miss his company but somethings have touched very raw nerves these few years and I guess things are different now. But I believe as long as it still bothers him, it means that he still cares, and it oso means there’s still hope. I think we shall go patronize his food stall one day and do some catching up, either with Danny Boy or Chixy since they both know him.
Went to pick my bitches up last nite and we went to Xin Wang again. Second nite in a row. Haha. I knew this would happen especially when the weather’s not so good and after we got our membership card. I ordered fries which I couldn’t finish after eating afew and just as we thought it was going to waste, the boy appeared so I got it packed for him to take away. He reminds me of how I used to be. All the sneaky late nite gallivanting but when we get found out, we don’t give a fuck.
This morning, my mum was talking me in the car while sending me to the MRT station. And she was saying how kids nowadays think that they are oways in the right and that parents’ words falls on death ears now. Too bad it was such a short journey to the station cos I had a lot to say about that. I dunno who she was referring to, or maybe it’s just a general statement, but mummy, you are historical. Its time to evolve your thinking as the world evolves.
I tried to put it in my own context. I said as long as I still wake up on time and function as I should at work, it is not for others to be disapproving and try to change my lifestyle. As much as sleeping early and waking up early is a good habit, that is not my kinda lifestyle, and that is not my friends’ kinda lifestyle. I told her as much as my health may benefit from that, my emotional state may not. Haha.
Sometimes I think she has got too much time on her hands. If she tried telling the asshole such things, she’s just asking to be told off by him. If she told the boy, he’ll just ignore her. So I guess its up to her good daughter to dig her out from under that rock she’s been hiding in for the past thousand years or so and let her smell the coffee from year 2008. But to me, if you wanna talk about things, you better be open to other people’s views. Not that I’m asking her to change her thinking immediately, but at least try to understand why people feel the way they do. If she’s not even open to that, then I think she shouldn’t waste my time at all.
The mother can be really exasperating at times. I discount her for being too bored and too lonely and too old fashioned and basically, she’s just getting old BUT 老娘 has her own share of problems to handle so I hope she doesn’t go overboard cos somehow, after living with me for so many years, she still doesn’t seem very aware of my explosive temper, which I’m convinced is due to a case of selective judgment. She thinks and she wants me to be the sweet obedient daughter I was when I was in kindergarten. I’ve grown and found my own footing and morphed into my own set of character so I think she should accept that too. Many times, I just wanted to tell her the most apt sentence – “MYOB”. Yup, mind your own business and she’ll make life a little sweeter for herself and the people around her. I have no idea how she can piss so many people off at times and still not see it as her fault.
She keeps talking about her family i.e. her parents and siblings etc and how they do things. But puh-leeze, you have your own family now, and others have their own family so everyone works and thinks differently. To think yours is the only right way to go is just, well, wrong.
*sigh* I guess this has to be put aside til another time when I can have a proper talk with her. I think I should be commended for my patience with her, especially seeing that everyone else in the household does not.
Wow, first thing in the morning and I have dedicated one whole blog entry for the mother.
And here's something to whet my baby's appetite to start his day
Both of us can't stand seeing people with hairy ears. It's just highly disturbing and traumatising. This one just takes the cake. -shivers-

Yup, I’m still at work. My plans to take half day have been shelved cos
1. My bitches were still in dreamland just now
2. Meeting ended late so if I left work then, I would have felt short changed
3. It was raining
4. I may not have gotten the car
I shall hereby announce that I’m not a BBQ planner and my house is under-stocked so please let me know what are the bare necessities so I can go buy. This sucks. The old house was like stocked for war where you can find anything damn thing you want. When we shifted, we threw almost everything away and this is a real pathetic house now.
As everyone knows, I don’t set fire, BBQ etc. I only eat. So I think I need someone to do a check list for me. Off the top of my head, here goes:
- Firestarter
- Charcoal
- Wire Mesh
- Tongs & Skewers
- Brush (for what huh?)
- Cups, Plates, Fork & Spoon
- Napkins
- Food & Drinks
- Sauces
Please let me know what else is needed cos I’m gonna be damn lazy to drive out that day in search of stuff to buy.
And if anybody has any of the above, please let me know. Maybe I’ll drive down to your place to collect it the day before or something cos I’m not gonna buy unnecessary things cos I know I’m not gonna use it again.
Looks like my handyman is gonna be pretty busy this weekend helping out. From grocery shopping, to marinating, to setting up, to cooking, to cleaning up. But that’s oso why I love him.
I’m thinking if the weather is really uncooperative, then LL everyone has to squeeze into my house and we have to use the stove instead. And I dun mean use the stove to BBQ. I mean use it to fry or whatever our food. So for our backup plan, maybe somebody wanna bring DVDs over as well or something k.

Went home after work yesterday and skipped dinner cos mummy’s choice of dinner usually ain’t too appetizing. There was salmon in the fridge which got me very happy but I decided I was too lazy to slice it up etc so I ended up lying in bed and using the com while watching the telly until around 10pm when my bitches decided to meet.
Went to pick them up and then we went to Xin Wang and we had had some proper food cos we were dinner-less. Chixy and I ordered porridge which sucked big time and Jane’s spaghetti looked so much more yummy lah. Anyway I think we go there so often that the butch asked us to get the Xin Wang card, which we did. Looks like we’ll be gg there more from now on.
I feel like taking half the day off today lah.. I guess the boss will be ok with it but I know even if I go home, I won’t be able to sleep. Maybe I shall wake my bitches up for lunch and have a round of shopping. They were talking about going prawning tonite but I guess I’ll see how tired I am and decide again.

Friday evening, wanted to go for a good meal but bcos of time constraint, we ended up having dinner at ThaiPan. Rushed down to AMK Hub to meet Tiger, Jane & Chix and we watched ‘L Change The World’ The movie was alright I guess. Nothing fantastic, kinda draggy, story line just barely passed. But it seems like such a long time since I last watched a movie so I guess I was just taking it in as it came. Wanted to go prawning after that but it was shit-ass packed so we ended up not prawning.
Slept in on Saturday so much so that we ended up not being able to go to the bank. Went for lunch and had Maggie goreng, something which I have been craving for and oso…
Tadah! Awfully Chocolate ice cream for dessert which I ate in the car on the way to somewhere to collect something…
Guess where.
*I have absolutely no recollection of what i did for the rest of Saturday. Scary but true..
All i remember was we had tien ji zhou for dinner at Dunman. I think it was too good that everything else couldn't register in my memory.
Woke up at 4am on Sunday morning and we had Macs breakfast! Went home and continued sleeping until it was time to wake up and get ready to go Peiyi’s house for Baby Valerie’s 1 month celebration. The pretty baby is a Valentine’s Day baby. Wherether it’s good or not to be born on Vday, I dunno. Haha. If you think positively, you’ll oways get presents on your birthday, whether you have a BF or not, but then again, all your attached friends would be too busy celebrating Vday with their other halves and if you have a BF, does it mean you only get 1 present? Haha.
Anyway, Jovi has grown so much oready and he’s such a cute boy. The way he was speaking gibberish was hilarious. I really respect Peiyi.. 2 kids in 2 years.. and she’s my age.. I can’t imagine myself being a mummy just yet. I think I’ll make a good mummy, only thing is I haven’t enjoyed life yet. So no babies for me. if you think she has become ‘aunty’ after giving birth, think again cos my dear girl just went drinking the nite before. I haven’t drank with her and Suleen for such a long time that I know I can’t match up to them anymore. We used to drink by the bottles and I don’t mean beer bottles. I mean hard liquor bottles. I am so getting old..
Went to Vivo to walk around abit then tubs had a backache
…………………………..
So we left and went to Granny’s. We didn’t even go Parkway like he first said we would but nvm… he shall make up to me another time. Haha.
After dinner, sent Mel to Oli’s place, then we met Tiger, Jane & Chix for a round of prawning. It was pretty crowded so us girls made ourselves comfortable in our own little spot while our fishermen went to work. The day’s catch wasn’t very good though. I still think prawning is a damn expensive hobby. Tiger actually brought gloves to catch the prawns. Hahahahaha. I think guys nowadays are getting more and more timid. If you thought bringing gloves were bad, wait til you see those who bring pliers to snip the prawns’ pincers off, and those who walk their prawns around all over the floor while trying to psych themselves to grab the prawn, and those who yank the prawn so hard out of the water that it goes flying into other people’s faces. I think that’s why we girls can just sit there, not prawn and be entertained.
In the end, this was the guys’ catch… So little but at least they were big prawns
It ended pretty late and when I got home, I couldn’t sleep… -faints- So I think last nite, I slept for a just 2 hours.
I just got some news. Bad news definitely but I think I’m handling it pretty well. Maybe it just hasn’t sunk in yet. But it’s something I’ve kinda expected but its oso something which I’ve clung on to the very sliver of hope. But now that its out in the open, I think its time I have a plan B.

Naysayers, be gone, cos everything is fine now. Sometimes, a little bit of angst works. And of cos talking things thru helps as well. I ended up getting a nice home cooked supper which appeased me. For all those concerned, thanks dears, I appreciate it.
Mandy dear is feeling the exact same thing as what I felt. So much so that she cut and paste my previous entry into her blog. I guess it shows I’m not alone in situations like this because I see it happening to Mandy and oso I’ve heard of such similar situations from friends all the time. But I just find that sometimes, the men really just don’t get it. *sigh*
I seemed to remember I’ve got some things to do this weekend but my goldfish memory is acting up again so other than the full-month celebration at Peiyi’s, I really can’t rem what else I gotta do. I do know however, that I HAVE to get my shoes fixed soon. It’s screaming out for help but I’m still wearing them. I oso need to go to the bank, hopefully on Saturday morning IF we manage to wake.
I am suddenly in the mood to shop for clothes. Maybe I shall do that this weekend. It seems like a long time since I last had a serious shopping spree.
Have I ever said how much my cleaner aunty loves me? Today she bought me the yummiest egg tart and char siew po lo bao. And she oways gives me lessons in life but I think she’s pretty vengeful, being a single mum. She oways goes on about how guys can’t be trusted and that we should depend on ourselves etc. Haha. To an extent, I do agree on what she says as in nobody should be dependable on someone else, but she comes across more like ‘All men are bad!!’
Today is the i-dunno-how many-time’th someone thought I was not Chinese…. Someone asked me today “Are you Thai?” I’m quite used to being thought as something else but Thai is a first and I said “WTF. No.” Haha. Yah, I said that to a complete stranger. And he said “Oh. Because Thais have the most alluring eyes.” Nice try dude. Anyway, I just walked off.
How is it that I don’t look Chinese? I’ve gotten everything from Malay to Chinese-Indian, to Korean to Eurasian. Is that a damn bloody wide range or what? Either something is wrong with others or something is wrong with me. And it happens so damn often that if I’m in a good mood, I feel like I’ve oready gotten used to it. If I’m in a bad mood, I just get pissed. I’m not even baba or whatever. I am a true blue Cantonese woman lor. Diu Lei La! Even during CNY at Granny’s. My own relative which I see like once a year says I look ang moh. I’m like WTF you trying to insinuate? But to be fair, as OTT I may find such implications, they have been good comments so I shall try not to let them bother me so much. But this week was a little mad. Therefore I suddenly found the need to rant. I’ve had at least 5 people think I’m not Chinese… -faints- Yes, within 1 week…
On a totally random note all together, my lip hurts like hell. Yes, my ciggie ripped my lip yet again. Fuck. For those who don’t smoke, maybe you won’t know what I’m talking about but that’s not the point. This is precisely the reason why I LOVED my Cartiers. Cos they were pearl tipped, which means they kept my lips nice and safe. If I worked for Phillip Morris, I’m sure to suggest changing certain ciggies to pearl-tipped filters. Just choose the Menthol Lights or something so that it’ll appeal to girls lah. If change all I think the guys will freak out.
I am so full from lunch I think I’m going to puke. Chen came to find me and then Mel & Jun joined us and brought me lunch. BURP!

Yesterday, left work halfway, went home to change and met my bitches for lunch at Parkway. We ate at the hawker and I’m so proud of myself cos it’s been a long long time since I last ate at a hawker center. Just when we were about done with lunch, it started pouring but we found a brolly so we used it to shelter ourselves to Parkway and it barely helped cos we still ended up all wet. Shopped a little and I was pretty set on doing some shopping but I didn’t find anything I liked so we ended up having Swensens.
This is very bad. We are eating too much Sundaes for our own good. Walked around a little bit more after that then Chix’s dad came to pick us up and gave me a lift to my dentist.
Total damage at my dentist = $300+
….……….
I nearly fainted when I saw the bill. And no, I didn’t extract any teeth.. But when it comes to dentists and the sake of my teeth, I shall not scrimp on that. Plus I love the clinic and my dentist. She’s one of the nicest dentists around and the clinic is so cosy and while you are getting your teeth done, there’s a nice LCD screen in front of you to watch shows and such. And the magazine rack has the best mix of mags ever. They have everything from Singapore Tatler to tabloids. Haha. I hate clinics with torn mags which makes the place look like a recycle bin. and I so love the couches there.. You really sink into them and never wanna get up. Ok that’s not the point. I’m just saying as expensive as they are, I don’t mind paying for good service, good results and comfort even though it’s been one day and I still feel the pinch.
It was a pretty quick appointment and I got everything done in 30 – 45mins and once I got home, MSNed abit and then I decided to nap.. So from 7pm, I napped and I napped and I was dead to the world and when I woke up from my slumber at 11pm, I had a million SMSes and missed calls, all which I either didn’t hear or I had thought it was the alarm in my semi-conscious state and pressed it away.
Went to shower, then called da chix who was hungry, so I went to pick her up and we went 5 star for dinner/supper. We decided to go light so we had a small bowl of plain porridge each + white cheeken and we ordered duck soup, which we barely finished half of it. Met someone for awhile after that and then I went home to continue what little sleep I could squeeze in before having to wake up again.
Something happened last nite which made me kinda regret not taking someone’s offer and going to Zouk bcos I was so damn gian. Sometimes its really 好心没好报 and I should fuck what the world thinks and go ahead and do some things which I have been restricting myself to do.
It’s pointless to argue cos my point of view never fails to get blocked right from the start and bringing certain issues up with people who are highly defensive of themselves and who are not open to the logic behind how other’s think is just, well, pointless. Talk about emotional disconnect.
I think it’s ironic that I am able to update others on so much more about my life and what I feel etc except my very own BF. I think he’s the most clueless of the lot what goes on in my life and all this while, I’ve been telling myself that he’s been busy with work and tired etc. Yup, I’ve tried to be so understanding, so much so that I discount my own BF for not knowing what’s up with my life.
To think that not matter what I do, I put him first and foremost. I’m somehow glad the shirt sizes were wrong if not I would have bought him a whole bunch of clothes the other day. And he talks about counting with his 10 fingers certain things. I think you can give me a million hands and it won’t even be enuff to count the things I do for him. I hate being such a fool for someone who doesn’t appreciate and thinks it as being controlling or whatever. If you’re not ready to commit yourself to having a GF, let me know.
I have never ever thought about wanting the BF to accompany me til the wee hours of the morning cos I think whether he has enuff sleep etc and what do I get? I get my care and concern taken advantage of and transferred to being out the entire nite out with others. Fab. Sometimes being nice really doesn’t pay. Sometimes he says things like how bad he feels he can’t keep awake to talk to me cos he’s so tired blah blah blah. As much as he's oways tired, I let it go. But like I oways say, talk is cheap cos I see the exact opposite happening.
And have I ever said your outlet for cooling down is applaudable? It really makes me think how I can live with you in the future. Get angry and disappear and have a good time all nite long. Now that’s comforting.
And I still can’t stand that shit about ‘business is business’. If I go sell myself, can I oso say ‘business is business’? I know it’s a totally different example but if you are understanding enuff, you will be able to see that the logic behind it is the same. But I guess not.
Openings for a weekday BF. Please apply within. I need some serious pampering.
I need a lover to give me
The kind of love
That will last always
I need somebody uplifting
To take me away
I want a lover who knows me
Who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me
Through the long lonely nights
Till the dawn
Why don't you take me away
Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby
I don't want another pretender
To disillusion me one more time
Whispering words of forever
Playing with my mind
I need someone to hold on to
The kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to
Everyday
Of my life
Always
So come and take me away
Dreamlover come rescue me
Take me up take me down
Take me anywhere you want to baby now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

Met Jane & Chixy at Roxy yesterday for Chixy’s appointment and then we went for ban mian. Went to Parkway to walk after that and we bumped in Roshni. I miss my babe! I miss those days back in KC even though I gotta admit the first time I found out I had to sit with her, I wasn’t too thrilled but we got over it and we became tight as hell. I can never forget all the antics she came up with no thanks to her raging hormones. One day, I came to class to find a dick growing slowly but surely in a cup of water on our desk during our German teacher’s English lesson… The things she did to try to seduce Mr Abt. Haha. The things we went thru together were a blast and now my babe is married and living in New York but she’s back in SG for now and will be flying off in 3 week’s time. Boo Hoo. We really gotta meet up again proper before she flies off.
I miss you like hell babe!!
Went to Esprit after that and it was having sale and I nearly bought so many clothes but then I realized that those that I picked out weren’t on sale and I oso realized that I was buying clothes for the heck of it so I put them ALL back –claps hands-
Went to Fox after that and we took so long there that the staff were waiting for us to leave so that they could close shop. I knew if I didn’t buy anything from there, it would be the end of shopping for me for the day cos every other shop in Parkway was closed so I ended buying 2 tops. I know I do not have any self control.. it’s quite bad. Went to Giant to buy a drink then Jane took her car and we went to Chixy’s house for awhile and I’m officially in love with her couch. You practically sink into it and never wanna get up. Went to my place after that and they waited for me to wash my hair and then we went to the petrol kiosk to grab some pastries and had a mini picnic near Bedok jetty. We had wanted to walk to the jetty but we ended up sitting on our lazy bums all the way at the hut and we didn’t even catch a glimpse of the jetty. I think next time we should really walk there since it is our main aim after all. Haha.
Went home at 3+am, used the com awhile, then slept.. and woke up late. Haha.
The backup tapes at work are giving me problems and when I emailed the dude in Dallas to tell him, I got a reply saying “Okay, I'm bowling right now and will start it off when I get home. Thanks” Hahahaha. Yes, yes, have fun bowling.
And while I was out yesterday, I received an SMS from Peiyi asking me to attend her daughter’s full month party…………………..
I felt so bad cos I haven’t kept in touch with her for so long that I didn’t even know she got preggers again and now her daughter is oready 1 month old!!
Today is mambo… If only I didn’t have to work tml…
Rock this party
Dance everybody
Make it hot in this party
Don't stop, move your body
Rock this party
Dance everybody
Make it hot in this party
Everybody dance now
Don't know what's on your mind
You comfy have a good time
Why shake your behind
I'm in a dancing mood
Ya'll know I'm feeling good
This is my favorite tune
Put on your dancing shoes
Gonna make you feel so good tonight
Ya'll we gonna make you sweat tonight
Feel alright
I came to rock at this party
Cause I can make you feel alright
Sweet boy, you're rocking your body
I'll get you straight to the night
Oh oh, you want this party
Oh oh, you want it now
Sweet boy, you're rocking your body
Cause I'm gonna make you mine tonight

Yesterday after work, went home to grab the car and then parked at Cote D’Azur and walked over to Parkway to meet my bitches. Bought a small cake for grandma but she wasn’t in so I left it with the maid. I hope she remembers to fridge it and tell grandma though.
After that, we went to Cartel @ Siglap and had a feast. Jane’s appetite is scary. She wiped out her ribs set meal and she didn’t even look that full. My ribs were yummy but I just couldn’t finish it.
We couldn’t decide where to go after that so we went for a car ride and went to look at nice houses with their flashy cars. *sigh* That’s the kinda life I oso want. Haha. On the way home, I went past a civic so we can see how the driver looks and he thought we were trying to play with him -.-“ This somehow oways happens with civics… are civic drivers really so insecure about their cars? I mean mine is the most harmless car anyone can come across on the road and when you see 3 girls in the car, do you really think we are out to race? –Pengz- After that before we hit the ECP, there was a guy on a bicycle who had to switch lanes while I had to filter left so I slowed down to give way to him and he gave a huge smile and a courtesy wave and when I waved back, Chixy got excited and shouted ‘HI!!’ and waved to him. Hahaha. I hope we made his day. LOLx.
I think Chixy still can’t get over what happened eons ago while we were going to Tong Shit. That was when the cute ang moh guys in the cab waved at us and Chixy is still sore nothing happened out of that. Haha.
Took a smoke outside Chixy’s house before dropping Jane off and then I went home to shower. I think it was around midnite by then. We wanted to meet up again but we couldn’t think of anywhere to go and outdoor areas were out of the question cos it was raining earlier so we decided to stay home. Used the com until I dunno which point of time, I fell asleep…. Woke up at 3+am and those people I were chatting with since earlier were still online so I said my goodbyes and went to sleep… And I think I was so afraid I wouldn’t be able to wake up, I kept waking up before the alarm could even go off. Dammit. So yes, once again, I’m still semi in lala land even though I was home early.
This is sebei jialat. And thank goodness I’m not that prone to having eye bags and dark circles if not I’ll really look like a panda like what Mandy said last nite. Haha.

BOO!!
And I thought who had sent me an MMS….
What a tiring weekend it has been. Sounds like what I’ve been saying about every other weekend but this weekend really takes the cake.
Friday after work, tubs picked me up from work and we went Hanabi for dinner. It was fab cos
1. It’s been awhile since I last ate there
2. The food is just as good
3. IKL is not working there anymore
Hur hur. I know he’s just trying to be friendly but his enthusiasm is just a little OTT and it makes me uncomfortable and it’s hard to enjoy your meal without him constantly coming over to chit chat.
Met Dan at Punggol Park for drinks and the boys were downing beer so fast like it was an alcohol buffet. –Pengz- Chix and Jane came down to look for us and we continued drinking. Supper after that then it was home for some sleep.
Saturday, sent the Merc for servicing and it took so damn long so tubs test drove the C-Class. It feels like a mix between a Beemer and a Merc so I actually quite enjoyed the ride. After the car was done, we went to Parkway where tubs had a haircut and I tried curling my hair but it was so damn disappointing cos within the next few hours, I had lost my curls. Haha. Had Pasta Mania for dinner and once again, I couldn’t finish it. Went home to wash my hair (yeah I know. I paid $40 and sat forever at the salon only to go home and wash it off) and pack my bag for the next day and we went down to Gene’s house to meet Chix & Jane and we headed down to KBox. It was 1+am then and they close at 3am but they must be really gian cos we went ahead with our KTV session. Supper after that and by the time I got into bed, it was 4+am oready. –faints-
Woke up 2 hours later on Sunday morning and got prepared to go Rachel’s house. Dropped by the kopishop to grab some toasties for everyone then headed there. I think I can never get used to living in a HDB flat. Taking the lift really scares me. Anyway, once I reached her house, the madness started.
Prepared the food for the groom (酸 – a big plate of lemon and lime wedges, 甜 – a concoction of dissolved rock sugar, 苦 – a plate of bitter gourd, 辣 – a plate of whole chilli padi and wasabi), thought of other games and such and got the bride ready. A little after 8am, we heard 5 cars blasting their horns downstairs and it was time to lock the main door. Hur hur.
Started off by making the guys polish off the food, then it was followed by fun for the groom. He had to wear a bra and a nice red brief with the word 旺 on it and pole dance against a bamboo pole and sing a song. He oso had to write his 10 commitments towards Rachel, he had to shout some things we asked him to, followed by a couple more things which was hilarious to watch. the girls’ fave part was getting the red packets and the guys were so damn smart cos we had 3 to choose from and after our top class negotiating skills, we managed to get all 3 packets in the end BUT all the money came in $2 denominations so we weren’t too thrilled and still refused them entry. So they had to come up with more money in the end. I think our haggling skills are pretty good.
We decided to let them in after that and just when you thought that was over, there was still another barrier to pass before he was let into the room. There was a round of Q&A which really got him sweating and when all that was over, we proceeded off to Boon Keng for Ah Boy’s side. There was a catered buffet there but I didn’t eat. Fatigue was starting to set in oready. Went to Fullerton for photo-taking session and just when we were about done, it started raining. The way our clothes and our hair were flying all over the place was crazy. We were a spectacle in itself at Fullerton. Tourists all stopped to take pictures of us. Hahaha.
Went back to Boon Keng where Rachel changed into her traditional Chinese ‘kua’ and then finally it was back to her house where there was a buffet. The food was good I gotta say. Simple but very yummy. After lunch, Ian dropped me off at tub’s and my plans to catch 40 winks were folied cos it was oready pretty late by then. Went to Parkway where tubs bought a nice cuff link shirt and I went to do my hair again cos I was too lazy to wash my hair myself. It was just a simple was and blow but Aden really impresses me. The effort he puts into what he does is really commendable. And he’s consistently good and out to please time and again, no matter doing my hair or tub’s. By the time I was done there, we had to rush home and I did a quick wash up and change before heading down to Grand Copthorne. The bride and groom were still in their t shirt and shorts getting hair and make up down at 530pm and I nearly fell asleep in their suite. The sofa was so damn comfortable lah. I was so hungry that even their bread roll with butter tasted like heaven. Sorted out the guest list and a couple other stuff then we headed to the ballroom at 6+pm. The next hour or so was tending the reception, collecting ang pows and getting people to sign the guest book.
Tubs was busy preparing inside but I dunno for what oso cos our dear MC sounded so unprepared. Dinner wasn’t too bad and they showed pictures of Rachel & Ah Boy during these few years they were together, and a video of the morning’s events, and a cartoon clip of how they first met til now. Wedding favors was a very cute key ring, either a boy or a girl but tubs gave me his so I got both. Haha.
I liked the company at our table. There was supposed to be someone else joining us but we don’t fancy her much so we abused our authority as sisters and put her in another table. Hahaha. I don’t feel bad one bit cos everyone at our table was oready so familiar with each other. There was Eunice, Bessie, Jes & I, who are the sisters, then there’s tubs who is the MC, then there’s Eunice’s husband who was running around with us the entire morning and who got along famously with tubs cos they both have the same sick sense of humour and there’s Henry kor, who is Rachel’s god bro whom we all knew for years and whom stayed directly opposite my house when both of us hadn’t moved yet. We were also the same people in the same table during Rach’s solemnization the other time so it was great.
Went to the next table to talk to the ex and frens and he tried to past a comment which I shot down. It was all in good fun but I hope it wasn’t too low a blow. It’s good to see them all again. I guess I do meet them now and then individually or when we happen to bump into each other on the streets but to have a gathering is really nice. Its oso been a long long time since I last saw William. I guess bcos Ah Boy’s frens are those who know me and the ex as a couple so when they see us sitting apart, and the MC is sitting with me, I think there’s bound to be talk but I don’t care. Everyone is on good terms and I am very happy being with tubs and as much as Ah Boy and the ex are close like brothers, I am very happy Ah Boy has no prejudice which is why he got to know tubs with an open mind and decided he’s close enuff to be his wedding MC.
It was a pretty sweet wedding and the newly weds are going Europe for their honeymoon tomorrow. Shiok. Let’s hope they come back with good news cos I’m dying to have a baby (which is not mine) to spoil silly.
It was too busy to take any fotos so I guess I have to wait for Bessie/ Jes to send whatever little fotos we took to me and fotos from Rach’s side will take forever so I guess no fotos folks!
Once again, I wish the newly weds all the best and my responsibility as their match maker is a huge one. I do not consider my job done bcos they got married. I consider my job done only when they are able to have a very blissful marriage ahead of them.
Rachel and Ah Boy, I love both of you just as much and it’s impossible for me to take sides so make damn well sure both of you work out as a couple. Haha. Have fun in Europe and know that patience is a virtue and nothing can’t be worked out. I have faith in both of you and set a good example for everyone who has yet to get married yah. Haha.
XOXOXOXO
By the time I got home, it was past midnite and I concussed after washing my hair and when I woke in the middle of the nite, I went thru the motions of trying to dry my hair but before it could completely dry, I was just too tired so I just fell back into bed.
Mandy smsed me yesterday and she got be a soft toy even though I couldn’t go down to NATAS! *muacks* Oh, and babe, I gotta tell you something lah. Some people are damn 厚脸皮 but then again, I guess it’s something we knew all along. –rolls eyes-
Before I forget, today is Grandma’s birthday but she celebrated it yesterday but due to the wedding, I couldn’t go over. Wishing her best of health and happiness!
Here’s some food for thought..
A bus station is where a bus stops
A train station is where a train stops
