Hello weekend! Firstly, I am very glad that I did not fall sick after Wednesday nite’s durian feast with my bitches. After I got home, I was so full and feeling so queasy that I thought I was going to fall sick for sure. But when I woke up to meet them for lunch the next day, I was just fine. Phew! I went in search for a pair of shoes to wear to Europe. Yeah, I don’t have a proper pair of shoes. I have a pair of Adidas which hurts to high heavens, a pair of Vans which is slippery as hell, a pair of birkies and flip-flops which is far too sloppy for the trip, and I have half a million pairs of heels which will kill my feet if I were to wear them. Therefore I am forced to buy a proper pair of shoes which I know I won’t wear once the trip is over, which leads to me wanting to just get something cheap. I think I’ve narrowed my choices to 2 pairs, which I shall decide on this weekend.
Anyway, the folks came to pick me up from Parkway and then we headed to the travel agent for tour briefing and I was crossing my fingers that that will be at least a cute guy or a cute tour leader but *sigh* the tour group is damn disappointing. Maybe I should continue to keep my fingers crossed cos only about less than half the entire group attended the briefing. The tour guide has the worst English ever. I was having such a bloody hard time trying not to burst into laughter that I was really tempted to get out of the room for a little breather. There were so many wrong things he said and here’s just to name afew:
Moisturiser = Miu-cher-lie-ser
Vincent Van Gogh = Vincent Van Gosh
Cast = Casing
There were so many more and I nearly got internal injury just sitting there listening to him, which reminds me of the salesgirl at Parkway who saw Jane’s Mona Lisa pendant and thought it was Jesus! That was damn blasphemous man! I was so shocked I was at a loss for words. Hahahahaha. Speaking of which, I bought myself a pair of earrings. My bitches liked the square princess cut so I got those but I’m still thinking of the round brilliant cut ones… -Haix-
I finally after a fucking long time got to chat with K-Ling on MSN and I miss her so damn much! Much more than I thot I did. Hahaha. I just want her to be back like right now!! When she comes back I’m going to hug her to death.
Btw, here’s 2 clips specially for Mandy dear to hopefully brighten up her day. Babe, you know how these people can be, and I know they are just gonna be another statistic on our list of bo liao and pathetic people, unknowingly spewing their insecurities and insanity in public and ending up making a fool of themselves, which makes a good laugh for us a long time to come after that. But if they decide to continue degrading themselves that way, then I guess we’ll just be kept entertained for a longer time -shrugs-
(Turn up the volume for the second clip!)

Anyway, I am very glad that the Olympics are over. Welcome back regular TV! I’ve never been more glad to turn on the telly and see Rachael Ray on, which was just as well cos I didn’t get a wink of sleep. I hate insomnia.
Tuesday was the day the mother bought lunch home for me. At 4pm no doubt, but still a rare treat. Haha. After wolfing it down, rushed off to Parkway to collect tub’s mum’s Bday cake and then I rushed down to Turf City. Bad judgment on my part when it comes to peak hour traffic situation. I reached bloody early. I gave an hour buffer but I reached in 20mins tops. But for all that waiting, it was bloody worth it. Dinner at Ah Yat was simply divine and damn filling.
Decided to dump tubs alone cos I didn’t think he was worth my time. Hur hur. Kidding! Anyway I headed back to the east and met Jane for coffee at Xin Wang and the entire time we were there, we did not manage to get a smoking seat. I was bloody pissed cos we asked at least 3 staff members to shift us outside once the people from the smoking table leaves but nobody ever got back to us and when we left, I realized that the people at the smoking table were different people from the ones who were originally there when we first reached. WTF. It’s a wonder how cranky lack of nicotine makes me.
It’s oready midweek and I wonder what plans I have tonite. How time flies!

This weekend was spent doing nothing much, except it’s been a long time since I last had coffee with tubs. Haha. When we do go for coffee, it’s oways with friends so this weekend, for 2 days in a row, we spent the night at Xin Wang, just having a drink and talking and smoking. On the first nite there, I found a lemon seed in my milktea and chin chow. That was highly disturbing and it put me off replacing it so the manager wrote it off the bill instead. The second nite we were there, tub’s milktea and chin chow had a lemon seed in it as well. The manager was sweating when we called him to the table and this time, he made tubs a new cup personally. But it’s still very disturbing to me. I don’t even wanna think about what are the possibilities of having a lemon seed in milktea, 2 days in a row.
Other than that, I spent the weekend playing a lot of PSP. It’s such a sudden change in me that I think tubs still can’t decide whether it’s a good change or not . Good cos he can nap peacefully now cos I’m so occupied in playing games, bad cos I don’t bother about him anymore. Hur hur.
Anyhow, we went to Orchard on Sunday to walk walk and it made me realized how long I haven’t been to town! We didn’t walk much though. Just to taka to see some bags and I ended up shopping at Zara and we bought some bites from taka basement to snack on, which ended up being our dinner and we couldn’t even finish what we bought so we brought the rest back to his place, only to have my all time fave tau huey awaiting me. Yay!
Had a little talk with mum today. I feel that as much as I can be brutally honest with her when it comes to what I feel, I have lost the drive to ‘open’ up her mind anymore. There have been some issues bugging her, and I tried to let her see from another point of view. Easy for me, cos I honestly do see things from the other side, and oso this whole situation has nothing to do with me. All I can say is that she was unwavered and I couldn’t care less either cos the conversation slowly shifted to how children nowadays love their parents less. Sometimes I do find her quite the hypocrite, but I shall not put all the blame on her just bcos she’s too narrow minded.
Ok enuff of that. I tried to clean up my room a little and I guess it’s not such a mean feat after all. It still looks cluttered no doubt but I blame it on the lack of storage space for my clothes. Haha. If I could put all my clothing away, my room would be so much neater. Sure there’s still a lot of things lying around, but those are not that big an issue. I really really miss my old room! Boo Hoo. Here’s some pictures I found of my old room, in a mess no doubt, but that was in the midst of moving house so I guess it’s excusable eh.
** For those of you who got to see pictures of my old room, lucky you. Cos I have taken them down due to a lack of QC on my part and apparantly there were underwear lying around which were captured by the camera. Anyway, those close enuff to me knows how my room looks like anyways. For the rest, too bad.
Btw, I received K-Ling’s postcard! She wrote the postcard 2 weeks after she got to NYC and she only sent it on 15 Aug.You’re supposed to send a postcard when you get there, not when you are coming back oready lor. Haha. But either ways, I miss you Eng Kailing and come back soon!!

It seems like forever since I last met my bitches just to slack, as in all 3 of us together, and then it happened on Wednesday nite. Xin Wang it was and after that we headed to my place to watch The Love Guru cos Chixy hasn’t watched it yet. Halfway thru, Chixy decided to multi-task and watch the show while reading a magazine. I guess the show is that bad.
We met again the next day for lunch at Cartel.
It’s been a long time since I woke up this early to go out for lunch. And during lunch, we spotted this little fella.
It had a tuff of hair on it’s bald head and when it ruffled it feathers, the tuff of hair stood on ends and it was damn funny. It looked like a chinaman from long ago. We popped by Starbucks after lunch for a quick caffeine fix and Siglap’s Starbucks is terrible. It was packed with students studying and it didn’t help that some kids in school uniform where hogging the smoking table. But I’m sure Jane didn’t mind cos she didn’t wanna get lung cancer from passive smoking. Hur hur.
Went home, and barely half an hour later, Rachel called me and said that she’ll pick me up for dinner. And we had dinner at Siglap. Looks like I’ll spend the entire day at Siglap. We ate at Chuen Chuen and sat there to slack til it was time to go back. Every time we meet, there’s so much to talk about but I hope she gets out of her current predicament soon and that it never happens ever again.
After she dropped me home, watch abit of telly and then headed down to meet tubs and Alex and there was a surprise guest awaiting me...
Max!!

Tien Ji Zhou at Dunman for dinner and after being very satisfied, it was movie time! Spent the earlier part of the day looking for good seats for The Dark Knight online but it was quite a feat cos the movie has been out so long that there weren’t many show timings left. But at a last ditch attempt, I found fab seats at Kallang. All I can say is I do not regret watching The Dark Knight at all and I’m so glad I didn’t give in to tubs and watch The Love Guru (as I found out the next day). I would have stabbed myself to death in the cinema.
Anyway, we dropped by Jes’s grandma’s wake at Lor Ah Soo after that to pay our last respects.
Saturday
Spent the entire day running around since early morning bcos tubs had to send his car to the workshop and by the time we collected the car, it was oready evening time. We managed to grab 2 DVDs - The Love Guru and 21 before rushing down to celebrate tub’s grandpa’s 77th birthday at Mandai Orchid Garden (I think). The food was great and I was absolutely stuffed after that. Thank goodness we managed to grab a good bottle of wine from my place as a gift or I swear we would have gone down empty handed, being so short of time.
Met Mel for a quick smoke after the dinner and then it was home to watch The Love Guru. It was lame shit but the boy and tubs seemed to enjoyed themselves. I’m not surprised though. Tubs can’t stop repeating his fave quote from the show - If your Uncle Jack helped you off an elephant, would you help your Uncle jack off an elephant?
Hur hur.
Saturday is oso Ling’s Bday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAR-LING! I’m sorry I couldn’t spend the day with you but it doesn’t mean I forgot or that I don’t care ok. I’ll make it up to you, even though it may be belated and remember that I love you!
Sunday
Slacked at home the whole afternoon before going to Parkway to walk around abit and then it was dinner at Granny’s. Tubs decided to give himself a little break from work so he took leave the next day. Haha! He had to tell a little lie, but a white lie it shall be.
We watched 21 on Sunday night and yeah, I know it’s been out so long oready and I’ve heard nothing but good reviews so I’m damn glad I got the DVD cos I really enjoyed the show.
Monday
Tubs decided to cook me lunch and while he was done cooking my meal of maggi mee and luncheon meat, he spilt everything on the floor so not only did I not get to eat lunch, there was a hell lot of cleaning up to do. I completely lost my appetite after that but hunger struck not long after and I decided to cook myself some pasta. No mishaps this time though. I’m no butter fingers.
At the spur of the moment, we booked the tennis court and went down for a game and I was so damn shagged out when we were done. I know I’m damn unfit *sigh* Went swimming after that to cool down and then we went Hanabi for dinner. It’s been forever since we last ate at Hanabi and it’s still as good as ever! Yum yum yum. I could eat nothing but Sashimi I swear.
Tubs decided to spend the night at my place so Monday nite was spent making his dad a Bday photo collage and watching WWE at the same time. How sincere.
Tuesday
Sent tubs to the MRT at 6am and somehow, it took me a long time before I went back to dreamland. The mother kinda cheesed me off. She’s acting more and more like empress dowager. And being me, of course I didn’t succumb to her. I’m sure I left her just as pissed but I don’t care cos she just has to learn to be more sensitive.
Rushed to Parkway and met up with Jane to grab a present for tub’s dad. Was at Parkway for just about an hour or so and I had to rush off to Orchard for his Bday dinner. Traffic was driving me mad but thank goodness I wasn’t late.
Stayed over at tub’s and now I’m back home. And very awake. Fuck. This is bad. Breakfast anybody? Haha.
How time flies when you’re having fun. It’s Wednesday oready.
Anyhoos, there were a lot of things that happened recently and there are a lot of things bugging me. I’m quite torn what to post over here and what not to, but I guess I’ll sleep on it first, and maybe post about certain issues when I am able to express myself in a more subtle way. Haha.
But number 1 on my list now is something that has been making me frustrated for a long time and it’s getting unbearable. I tried confronting it in a joking manner to make the situation seem less erm.. intense (?) but I’ve decided it didn’t register at all so in all brutal honesty, I said my piece. Short and simple, but I believe it was to the point. When it makes me cranky and I’m not PMSing, it’s serious. When it keeps me up all nite, tossing and turning and getting more agitated by the minute thinking about it and it’s not insomnia at work, it’s serious. So we shall see how things are from now on. I can only keep my fingers crossed.
Ok, good morning people. Time to get your asses out of bed and face a brand new day at work. Hey, at least it’s oready midweek right. Haha. Lao niang shall try to get a little more shut eye though I doubt it.
Oh. Did I mention that I’m not a big fan of the Olympics? And that Mark Richmond and Jade Seah is a pain to watch/ hear? That’s unless Miss Seah decides to do more stupid things like utter ‘Fuck’ on national TV, which as much as it wasn’t funny, it was at least a little entertaining. Suddenly I understand the importance of cable TV. Olympics all day and night is a killer.

Anyway, later that nite, I found out that Jes’s grandma had passed away. I hope she is doing fine but knowing her, she won’t say so even if she’s feeling like crap. Therefore I shall try to go down today to offer whatever condolence and support I can. Her grandma passed away peacefully in her sleep so Jes doesn’t feel so bad and also cos she had just visited her grandma not so long ago so I guess such things eases the pain a tad.
I gtg for now.. I’ll update again soon!

After dropping Cat home, Jes and I went all the way down to Sandilands to pick Chixy up for kopi. By the time I got home and tossed and turned, this was the sight that greeted me..
Great. Sun up, me not asleep = Crankiness
Met Rachel for dinner at Siglap and we ate at Werner’s. Yum yum! It seems like a long time since I last ate there. My dear girl forced me to take a picture with the food cos she was wearing glasses today and not camera ready. Pardon the gleam on my face. My dear girl has bad photography skills. Tsk tsk. Kidding. It was the damn reflection from the cutlery.
After dinner, we slacked at Gelare and as much as I was craving waffles, I was too stuffed so I ended up eating banana walnut ice cream. Time passed so quickly that before we knew it, it was oready very late. I had a wonderful time with her and it was only today when I realized how much I haven’t updated her even though I‘ve just seen her over the weekend. My dear girl has matured so much over the years and she is a real friend and definitely one that’s for keeps.
It’s only about 2am now.. And it’s nowhere near my bedtime. Since Chixy is home + she slept for 18 hours straight the previous day, I think we shall think of somewhere to slack. Tomorrow is meeting my bitches for lunch cum waxing cum possibly shopping. But first, I need to think of somewhere to wander with Chixy like 2 lost souls in the nite.
Choy choy. 7th month better not say such things.

Thursday, met my bitches to do nails and we ended up at a new place at Roxy cos the price was pretty ok and the place was really nice. The chairs were massage chairs and we could actually plug in our own MP3 to listen to while having a massage, and we could oso bring DVDs to watch while doing nails. The products they used were good and I had a really good foot scrub and lavender soak. However, maybe cos they are pretty new, they didn’t do my nails the way I would have liked it to be done. I wanted it shorter but somehow they didn’t bother cutting my nails and instead filed it all the way and after awhile it was getting irritating so I just left it just a tad longer than what I wanted at first. The paint job wasn’t fab either and I think I could have done a better job myself so I guess I’ll give them a longer time to be better at their trade, and go back to the other nail parlor in the mean time. For now, I shall see how long it takes for my current paint job to start peeling. Haha.
Friday, went over to Granny’s for lunch and then came home to help the mother clean the floor. And just in the nick of time, Jes called and asked me to go do our hair together and so I went to thin my hair. It feels utterly fried now but it’s so much lighter so I guess it’s time to buy a hair mask. Anyway, in the evening, Mel came to pick both of us in a cab and we headed to ParkRoyal for Bessie’s wedding. The 6 of us crazy ppl were sitting with 3 old aunties and another person so our table was filled with mad laughter but it was a small cosy wedding and it was good to see my dear girl looking so radiant despite the pregnancy making her a little unwell. And no, this is not a shotgun wedding. The wedding was planned a long long time ago, and her one month pregnancy was planned as well. I’m so excited for her!
That night, we went to Yishun Dam to look for Mandy dear who was there with her friends.
Guys + Cars = Instant Friends
So Mandy and I had a good time enjoying each other's company. Haha.
(Thanks dear for all the fotos you took for Glenn and I but I'm not gonna post any here. For me to keep only. Haha)
Saturday was a special day. And I don’t mean cos it’s National Day. Haha. Tubs and I went lunching at The Line and we went to take some fotos near my previous house cos that place holds a lot of memories for us.
Shang Dollars. Haha. I remember the last time we ate there, we spent our Shang Dollars on a pot of tea. This time, since there's no more smoking in the lobby while sipping on tea, we decided to screw the damn dollars.
In the evening, we went somewhere quiet to watch the fireworks. And at nite we went JB for dinner with Jack, his wife, and his friend and we were stuffed after that but it was damn shiok lah. And the weather was fab. Went to find Ben and gang after that cos the boy decided to take a break from clubbing and went pawning instead. Macs breakfast after that. Yay!
Sunday, shall not expose too much of what tubs and I did during the day so I shall just fast forward the day til dinner time. Steamboat dinner at Mandy’s house to celebrate her birthday. Yum yum yum! I hope my dear girl liked what we did for her even though it’s nothing much at all and other than a few cock-ups here and there, everyone was great in trying to make the whole thing a success! I didn't take any fotos as usual but with this bunch of cam-whores, I am not afraid of not having any fotos so with a bit of resourcefulness, here’s a whole bunch of fotos.
The room, The balloons, and The very pretty birthday girl.
The Food
And of course The gang...
... missing K-Ling. Come back soon bitch!!
This was a good weekend cos I managed to meet so many of my friends who are so close to my heart and oso tubs was nothing but wonderful.
There are many things I wanna say to my love but I’ll just say I LOVE YOU DARLS. Any other words is for his ears only. Haha.

Tubs and I had dinner at Junction 8, a very unlikely place for us to go cos it’s a bloody boring place but somehow we ended up there and what a coincidence it was to bump into Jacki. But I think it’s about time lah. I haven’t seen her in a very very long time oready and if K-Ling can meet up with her in the US, chances of me bumping into her over here in SG should be much higher lor. I know she flies around a lot but it doesn’t make sense not to bump into her ever. When K-Ling comes back, we shall plan a meet up with Jacki. That woman is still as Sum Pat as ever and her laughter is most beautiful when she laughs at other people’s unfortunate turn of events, in this case, me.
Craving for durians that evening led to my downfall.. That night, tubs and I bought 2 boxes of durians to eat and it cost us $50 but since it was really good, there was nothing to complain about. We sat by the poolside to eat durians and before we could finish 1 box, we were stuffed so the boy joined us for drinks and I think the alcohol really got to tubs cos it wasn’t long before he felt sleepy and into the fridge the durians went…
Woke up on Saturday afternoon and realized that I had lost my voice. Fanfuckingtastic. And to make matters worse, the grand folks came over with 2 boxes of durians, and 3 unopened durians. So in total, there is ALOT of durian at home and it didn’t take long before I started getting a fever but being me, I wanted to go out but a quick drive past SingEx showed that it was impossible to get any parking cos cars were queued all the way out the main road so it was bye bye to NATAS. We ended up going to Suntec to walk and on the way there, we saw parachutes!
At Suntec, tubs refused to let me eat anything fried which didn’t leave me with much of a choice so I bought a really yummy green tea ice cream and Putu Mayam which hardly filled me as a day’s meal so when we went back to my place, tubs cooked me some porridge, which ended up to be a lot of porridge and he ended up eating most of it.
Sunday, went Parkway to walk abit before going granny’s house for dinner. The folks sent Aunty Cat to the airport after dinner and back to Sweden she goes. She’s been here for a month but it somehow seems much shorter than that.
Anyways, looks like me giving NATAS a go wasn’t that bad after all. The parents booked a Europe tour package and the best thing is the asshole is not going. Hur hur hur. The only thing is that I have to nicotine patch myself like mad if not I’m bound to die in Europe.
Another thing is I can’t believe how fickle I am cos I have decided on another tattoo and I think I’ll give the previous design a pass first cos I am very anal about finding the right person to ink me. *sigh*
Sent the car for servicing AGAIN today with the mother. Why she needed me to follow her, I have no idea but I went anyways. Cycle & Carriage Service Centre at Aljunied SUCKS. After sending it for a full servicing just last week, they guzzled all the remaining petrol in the car before returning it to us and the car was so damn dirty it looked like they took it off-road. It didn’t help that the belting that snapped was considered wear and tear so we had to pay for it and after collecting the car, the aircon was so damn hot that we just had to send it back today and the people there were full of excuses and they couldn’t even rectify the problem on the spot so we had to cab home and wait for them to call again. Typical of [fill in the blank]. If Leng Kee wasn’t so far I would’ve sent my little red riding hood there cos I would expect better service there. KNN. They simply don’t understand the meaning of full servicing and the aircon is such a basic thing and if they can return the car in such a terrible condition, I guess it shows a lot about their standard of work. Pui.
To make matters worse, the mother once again gave a very torturous journey there.
My mother = Bad Driver
It didn’t help that it was so damn hot both outside and inside the car and when we finally got home, she told me she passed the service centre guy her house keys and tap card which she attached together with the car key. I mean seriously, how much cleverer can she get. Thank goodness I brought my house keys along with me so next time, if you ever hear about my house being broken into, you know who’s fault it is. Sometimes she really tries my patience and it’s not even only me so I think she should do some serious soul-searching.
Ok I’m done blogging for now. I’m officially pissed off. Cycle & Carriage just called and said ‘We found internal leaking in your aircon so we have to take out your dashboard and your car won’t be ready by today.’ WTF.. I need may little red riding hood lah..
