Christmas was great. Great food, everyone came, everyone had fun, everyone had gifts, and tubs left work early to come over in time for the party.
Tubs and I spent Christmas in the car while on the way to Pasir Ris park to meet the uncles and aunties, just as the clock struck 12. As I get older, I feel no more kick to squeeze with half the Singapore population. Instead, being alone with my baby boy was fab, just as the clock struck 12. Pasir Ris park was packed as expected but everyone was having loads of fun when we got there.
This year’s Christmas was a really good one for me, even though I was super gian for some Xmas Mambo Jambo. But I know that if I actually went down, the crowd would have really pissed me off so I am a very content girl.
On Christmas day itself, tubs and I went to his Grandma’s place for lunch. At nite, we met up with Jes and Mandy for some drinks at Paris Park before everyone got in the mood for some KTV so we picked Victor up and the 5 of us went down to Party World @ Shenton Way. Mandy left first but before the rest of us left, the boys managed to sing the great finale for me. In it’s 12mins of glory. Hehe.
I wanna say thanks to everyone for the presents, cards and wishes! I’m not gonna thank everyone one by one but you guys know who you are! *muacks*
My weekend was pretty good as well, drinking with Jes and going JB with Jane, amongst other things. Tub’s mum oso bought me some chocolates from Hokkaido. Yummers~
I dunno if it’s PMSing season for me, or maybe my patience is just wearing thin. I shall not say some things here cos it’s gonna cause a major uproar but there have been more than a couple of things that have been bugging me, all due to different people. Actually there are 3 people in particular and I have 1 word each to describe each of them - Petty, selfish and spoilt. Go figure which word belongs to you. I may not be the perfect friend, but I try my darndest to be one, and to a certain extent, I expect something similar in return. Ok, I’ve said my piece.
On a different note altogether, I can’t wait to meet my lovelies for dinner and gift exchange, and oso my bitches for lunch and gift exchange. Christmas IS 12 days after all. Haha. It’s nice to prolong the Christmas mood. And whoever else who wants to meet me soon, I shall look forward to that too. Hur hur.

I haven’t been blogging not cos I’ve been lazy, but bcos I’ve been very busy. I can’t believe it’s Christmas week oready. There isn’t much of a Christmas mood this year, especially when the weather has decided to go hot and scorching in the day. It’s like CNY weather, which I hate. The only saving grace for now is that the nights are still cool.
Once again I’m not gonna do much of a weekend update cos I can’t remember much. What I remember though is that Sunday was the winter solstice. It was at tub’s granny’s place in the afternoon, followed by my granny’s place in the evening. For the first time ever, grandma didn’t make any tang yuans. Without grandpa and at a different house, some things really do feel different. Anyway, grandma still cooked up a storm and it was damn shiok. Everyone was stuffed but what’s winter solstice without dumplings? So Mel and I went over to Parkway and bought a hell lot of dumplings back for everyone. We nearly bought all the dumplings that were available and halfway thru, they ran out of peanut soup so they replaced the remaining with cheng teng soup. As if the dinner and the dumplings weren’t enuff, there was oso a cake to celebrate the boy’s 18th birthday, which fell on the day before.
Speaking of which, tubs and I wanted to bring him drinking but tubs wasn’t feeling well so that was screwed. In the end, tubs and I dropped by Marcus’ place and it was one of the few times when I could drink till my heart’s content with tub’s uncles and aunties cos the bf’s tummy was too queasy to take any alcohol. We went JB later that nite for some kway chup, car wash, cigs and ILT. The Malaysia immigration looks so much better nw. It actually looks like Singapore’s now. Haha. It used to be dark, dingy and dirty but now it’s nice and bright and you can actually see the person chopping your passport. The touch and go card is a rip off though. It costs S$10, but only has RM10 in value. Well done. On the way back, we decided to go by second link due to a need for speed. I kinda miss the second link. Speaking of which, I miss the thrill of sitting on a speeding bike going by that link. And speaking of which, I dreamt of Rossi the other day. Haha!
It’s Christmas celebrations later today and I’m glad I’ve got my Christmas shopping done on time. This year was pretty last minute by my standards but it’s all settled. Phew. Not too many presents this year to give out but it‘s getting harder to think of what to buy. I really need to be in the mood when it comes to wrapping presents so those getting a present from me, please pardon me cos I've been really busy.
Tubs and I got matching phones for Christmas.
Let’s see who’s lasts longer. Haha. *Hint: Tubs has oready dropped his
That’s all for now folks! It’s gonna be pure madness later but I shall try to take some photos of the yummy food. The cold white turkey sitting naked in the fridge now is gonna look real festive and appetizing by evening. Yum yum!

My favourite times of the year used to be occasions. It usually makes me really happy thinking of it or preparing for it and anticipating it. In recent years however, not only do I not anticipate it as much, I think I have started putting less into it and on my off days, I even dread it.
Sometimes I don’t think I expect too much at all. But I’m unable to convince myself otherwise and when I tell others about it, hoping they are able to open my mind to this other part in me, and when all they can do is pity my situation, it’s really sad for me.
I think it’s good that I have tried my hardest to put in effort in not making things such a big deal anymore, but I think it’s sad that the few things that used to keep me going are now negative thoughts and not only do they not keep me going anymore, they are making me into a very angry person.
I think the things I ask for are very simple things. It is the effort of the other party doing such things that means a lot to me. Effort matters, and effort means action, not something you think about or something you‘ve been contemplating. And as Jane so famously said ‘there’s a difference between cannot and don’t want’.
It has come to a point whereby if I try any harder, I’m not gonna be myself anymore. So I hope that to make occasions a happier time for all, you’ll outdo yourself and make me proud.
All that aside, I’m not gonna blog much about my weekend cos I can’t remember what I did during the weekend. Haha. But now that my bitches and Jes are not working, the 4 of us met up yesterday for lunch, coffee, then walked parkway abit and I managed to get a couple more presents. When Jes left for home, me and my bitches headed to Siglap macs to slack. And after Chixy left with Kel, Jane and I spent the entire time there, right up til 5+am, but not before having Macs breakfast of cos. Haha. This is the life man. I shall enjoy it while it lasts cos when the monsoon season is over and nights aren’t as cooling anymore, you won’t catch me there as often anymore. Maybe then I’ll head back to the beach for some sea breeze. Haha.
There are certain things, certain people on my mind these few days, but those thoughts I shall keep personal.

Hi loves. I meant to blog sooner since my lappy is aye ok BUT now the internet connection is kinda screwed. Sebei sway but what can I say other than welcome to my life. Today is kind of a weird day for me. I woke up with mix emotions but was feeling kinda bad tempered. Maybe it’s what yesterday’s happening which made me like this so here’s what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, weird people and noisy fuckers were out in full force I swear. Met Jane in the evening and we had subway for dinner at ECP. We found an empty gazebo and decided to set base there, hoping nobody would come invade our space. We were fine for awhile, other than a crazy dude who dressed his bicycle up in multicolored lights and blasting hip hop on some sound system which is gotta say was damn power cos we could hear and see him from a mile away, who keep cycling real fast up and down the stretch. And there was another man who kept drinking beer from a can on the pavement. Somehow I suspect it isn’t even his drink la..
Those 2 madmen were fine. Then came 2 guys who decided to share our shelter with us. I think they are thai but their Chinese sounds across-the-causeway-ish so we didn’t know what to make of that and then a black guy came to sit with us. Not just in the same shelter, but with us. The issue wasn’t about him being black. It was about him being drunk and asking for KFC. That took the cake so we left and headed to more peaceful grounds (or so we thot).
Drove back to Siglap and ended up at Macs, which was great cos the outside seats were empty and it was such a cooling nite. While ordering at the counter, some guy tried to chat me up and DONOT try to touch my hands when I don’t know you at all cos I will get very offended. I was pissed off enuff oready and when I went back out to sit, along came a group of boys. They had beer, smoked, and something told me not all of them were legal aged to do that but it’s not my concern. It was the amount of noise they made and when 90% of a sentence is peppered with vulgarities, it’s just plain childish and it doesn’t even sound natural for goodness sake. It’s like what the hell are they trying to prove. My bitch and I tried to tahan, cos boys will be boys, but it got a little too much after a long while and I had to ask them to quit it cos I was really nearing my limit. Good thing they said ok and left soon after.
I was there with my bitch til about 6am and the people that came and go at the seat beside us was just outstanding. There were a group of *ahem* which were noisy, only not as rowdy, then there was a boy who farted loudly in his seat, then there were ah bengs trying to speak like a malay boy. Omg. I can’t take it. I think Jane can’t believe our luck either.
Anyway, that was this morning. I could barely sleep. I dunno why. Might have been the tea but then again, I doubt it cos I never has any effect on me. And once I woke up, I think somebody was pissed with me. I think it’s uncalled for. Speaking of which, I am gonna once again announce this - THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY SMS. IT JUST DOESN’T SOUND WHEN I HAVE INCOMING SMS AND IF IT’S IMPORTANT, CALL ME COS I WILL ONLY SEE THE SMS WHEN I DECIDE TO CHECK MY HP AND WHEN THERE’S A FLOOD OF SMS, IT IS VERY EASY FOR ME TO OVERLOOK SOME MESSAGES. There.
And to add on to my crabbiness, I think there’s a limit to how much I like being ‘copied’. I think there’s one person in particular which over the years, have picked on certain things which I do or say and tried to make it their own. I know I don’t copyright certain things and it’s things anybody can do/say and it’s definitely not exclusive to me, but, erm, don’t cramp my style. It feels weird when people do/say things, picked off you, which you know is not natural to them. It feels just kinda icky to me.
The above 2 people are people I love a lot and that are very close to my heart. Just take it that I am in a foul mood and I’m being my super bitchy self today and I hope nobody gets affected by the things I just said cos I do wanna release some steam, but at the same time, I do not wanna upset anybody. So I hope instead of having a guessing game who I’m talking about, everyone, just dismiss what I said ok? Sorry!
Anyway, after shopping at Bugis village with my bitches on Tuesday, we went to cineleisure and caught a midnite movie. After Sex Drive and Zack & Miri Make a Bad Porno, Bolt was a breath of fresh air man. Rhino the hamster was damn cute. The movie was great until a HUGE man decided to make a grand entrance mid-movie and ended up sitting beside me. He was HUGE. He took up his entire seat, and more, so I was practically leaning on Jane the entire time and every time he laughed, the whole seat vibrated and it really took the cake when he was leaving. He had to push the back of his seat to propel himself up and for the couple of seconds, I felt my seat become a reclining one and I was crossed my fingers that the seat wouldn’t snap and give way. Oh. I oso saw somebody in the cinema. Somebody who I used to consider a close friend, but somebody who couldn’t bring himself to see past things. But happy belated birthday anyways.
Da Chix was half dead oready while on the way back so after dropping her at Gene’s, Jane and I slacked some more and talked about lots of stuff which she once again labeled 'skeletons' and you could see that bitch was pretty pleased that she got some dirt.
Ok people, happy I updated? Not the most pleasant post but something to keep you guys occupied for just that little while and try to enjoy the weather! It’s fab!

Oh yay! My lappy is fixed but now the boy’s com and my mum’s com have died. I wonder what the hell is going on man.. But I’m glad mine is fine now cos I’ve got a million and one things to do on my com.
Anyhoos, here’s a recap of my long weekend!
My weekend started early. To be exact, it started on a Thursday. Haha. Me and my bitches took a bus in the pouring rain to Orchard for some shopping. Our first stop was at Wisma for lunch. Coincidentally, it was Longine’s opening at the Wisma’s atrium and there were so many young girls there and we were wondering who the hell was coming. While eating at the food court, we went to kaypoh and saw that Denise Keller was there as MC and soon after, we heard a commotion. Apparently someone had fallen though a hole but we had no idea who it was cos the ang moh guy sitting at the same table with us went to look and came back and told us what happened. And then not long after, everyone started screaming cos… Aaron Kwok was on stage. Haha.
Anyway, after lunch, we managed to cover quite a number of places before ending up at Far East Plaza. I insisted on walking FEP LAST cos usually when Jane hits FEP, she can never stop until all the shops have closed, and to be honest, I’m not that big a fan of FEP. But after walking so many shops, it was grossly disappointing. We barely bought anything, from anywhere, the entire day.
Went back to my place after we were done at Orchard to take the car and in the carpark, my bitches decided to go around taking pictures with other people’s cars. Haha. Thank goodness the security didn’t come chase us away. Here’s some of the beautiful cars without my bitches.
After that, we went to Bugis and whacked some XDL.
Hahaha! Shiok weather for steamboat, especially when we got the smoking table and at 11+pm, the entire place is nice and quiet. When we were finally stuffed, we headed down to ECP to watch the guys pull up their crab net and we bought Macs ice cream on the way there. Haha. So much for feeling full. After Chixy left with the guys, Jane and I slacked near her place talking about life and guys til morning.
Friday. I’ve been constantly craving for Nasi Lemak recently and so for dinner on Friday, tubs and I went down to Kovan to appease my craving. Punggol Nasi Lemak is so yummy. After that, we went to Kallang and watched Sex Drive. It was an American Pie wannabe type film so I didn’t find it that fantastic but it’s watchable I guess. I enjoyed American Pie so I don’t think other films should try to match up to something they can’t. But if it helps, in hindsight, in comparison to the next movie I watched 2 days later, I’ll actually call Sex Drive ‘good’. Urgh but yah..
Saturday. Tubs felt like having something nice for dinner and we were both craving for fresh oysters like mad so we headed down to Shang for buffet. The Line never disappoints me. The price may not be justifiable but the variety of food suits me wonderfully cos I’m that type of buffet eater that just wants to take a bite out of everything. I don’t usually find buffets which I’m really happy with but this does it for me.
Went to meet Mel after dinner and played with the cutie dog for abit and talked about our grand plans. After we left, we went to pick Jes up and headed to simpang for some drinks before calling it a night. As usual, Jes was laughing at every single thing and the latest amusement to hit her is the Visa ad that’s showing in the theaters at the moment. The one with the dancing man. It’s crazy how she finds everything funny.
Sunday. Went down to the F1 Pit Building for Hong Seh’s 40th Anniversary Celebrations Exhibition.
I love my cars fast and flashy. Haha.
Went to Vivo after that, in hope of getting my Aldo shoes but somehow I ended up not getting it. *sigh* Being empty-handed wasn’t fun so I decided to get a bag from Zara but they only had 1 last display piece left so we went to Lait Zara to get it instead and horrors of horrors, even Liat only had one last display piece left but it looked fine so I just grabbed it before it’s totally gone.
Granny’s for dinner following that and that nite, tubs, me and Mel decided to take a drive into JB to buy ciggies and ILT. I know.. We’re abit mad. They ran out of ILT in bottles so we ended up buying 12 cans back. Haha. All the jam to and fro just for a pack of cigs and some ILT. Haha. After we dropped Mel home, we decided it was still early since it’s a public holiday the next day so we ended up watching Zack & Miri Make A Porno at PS. Do NOT watch that show. I was so thoroughly bored. It was low budget, it was bad, it was cheesy, it was boring, basically, it was everything negative. What a bloody waste of money. I hardly fall asleep during movies but this I did. And I was so restless I wanted to run to the back row which was empty and just stretch out there. Gawd.
Monday. Picked Kailing up from ECP cos she was bored watching her BF fix toy cars and we went to Roxy for ban mian before heading back to ECP to slack. I think tubs was having a great time watching people play with their remote control cars cos he got stuck there for a long time while we girls slacked at the HK café. I think next time the BFs can play with their cars while we girls slack and get our nicotine fix since it’s so near my house.
When nite time came, greediness struck. Tubs suggested Dunman but the intention was not to eat Tien Ji Zhou for once. It was oyster omelette. But because the smoking seats were just next to the TJZ stall, we felt bad. And we ended up with not only oyster omelette, TJZ, but oso wan ton mee. Haha. I think tubs finished ¾ of the food so he felt guilty and wanted to go ECP for a walk, which ended with him rolling around in bed for abit, to finally being tired and sleeping. What’s new.
Anyway, it was a great weekend. Even though I’m not working, long weekends rock. And speaking of things which rock, Gucci has outdone itself once again. White python skin. Swee.
And because I’ve been so grossly detached from the online world, and it’s the season for giving, and I love my K-Ling so much, the following is just for her.
For the ladies out there who are looking for sexy slips and naughty lingerie, please visit
http://www.e-sensual.blogspot.com/ This newly launched site is still at Collection 1 at the moment but check back for more toys and such in time to come. Haha. Apart from ladies buying for themselves, it also makes good gifts for your friends and also for parties. And for guys who are shy to go lingerie shopping, kinky costumes can be easily bought online now.
And for those guys who have no intention of buying anything, you can still visit the site and look at pictures cos it’s like a porn site lah. Hahaha.

It’s just 1 month before the year is over and I have a ton of very important stuff that I have to get down to doing. So I guess instead of making a new year resolution (which I never ever believe in anyways), I shall make a list of things which I will do before the year is over. It’s a personal list though so I am not gonna post it up lah. Haha.
My com is still condemned but I don’t think all is lost yet so for the time being, don’t expect me to be blogging much yah.
Now for my weekend!... and then some.
Friday was dinner with tubs at Shangri-La for the Asian Print Awards. The food was really blah though but I wasn’t complaining cos we had bigger plans after that. After Mel was done at Clarke Quay for her Heineken event, we snuck out of the dinner, went to pick her up, and we went to JB for kway chup and to buy my favourite ILT. Haha.
Saturday afternoon was SingEx with Mel and tubs to get some samples from the print fair and we didn’t even bother to step into Sitex. To think that we avoided a mad crowd.. The next place we went to was probably crazier than Sitex. We went to Charles & Keith / Pedro warehouse sale and the queue was snaking. After all the queuing, I gotta say I wasn’t all that impressed. Bought a pair of heels just for the heck of it. Tubs bought a pair of shoes too which cost 3 times more than mine, and Mel ended up with 3 pairs of shoes and 2 bags. Haha! Sales are horrible. It makes people buy things they aren’t even that fond of to start with.
We desperately had to cool off after that so it was Dunman for some much needed sugarcane juice and tien ji zhou. Yum yum. That nite was coffee with Jes til about midnite and then we decided to tapao Punggol Nasi Lemak. Haha. Eating that before bedtime is no joke man.
Sunday was shopping day but it was grossly disappointing. Dropped by Nespresso to look for Angel for a quick chat but it turned into a full-blown lunch + gossip session. Tubs and I walked from Taka to Wisma to Paragon but nothing caught my eye at all. Except a pair of heels from Aldo, which I would have bought if only they had it in my size. Sad.. But I shall continue my search for that elusive pair of heels this week.
I know I’ve got far too many pairs of heels but to be fair, they are all very different and just looking at them makes me immensely happy. Majority of the shoes in the shoe rack are my shoes and therefore I have started to keep some shoes in my room so that the mother does not realise just exactly how many pairs I actually have. I can’t wait to move out and have a decent shoe rack of my own. I really regret throwing all my shoe boxes away though. I think the best way to store my shoes now is to put them in boxes and stick a picture of them on the outside. Anybody wanna donate shoe boxes to me? Or where in the world can I actually buy shoe boxes…
Anyway back to Sunday’s shopping.. What I did manage to buy though was a CK wallet for my secret santa person so that’s one less present to worry about. Phew. Met Mandy dear and James by coincidence and managed to meet up for a smoke or 2 with them after all the shops had closed.
Had dinner with Jane on Monday and then we went to Starbucks @ Big Splash for coffee. It's a wonderful place to chill IF there are smoking seats available. We were lucky but we didn't stay too long cos soon after, we drove down to Macs side of ECP to meet da chix and it was that part of the beach where we slacked the entire nite away.
Tuesday, met Jes for dinner at Old HK but I wasn't too hungry so I had a sandwich and much later that nite, we headed down with the guys to bedok jetty to watch them fish. But me and my bitches ended up slacking one side chatting away while the guys played dai dee. They did manage to catch some fish, prawns, jelly fish and a hermit crab though. Haha. And that hermit crab happens to be sitting in a container in my kitchen as we speak. Time passed so quickly while we were there that by the time we got home, I had to think twice whether to sleep or not cos I was supposed to follow the mother to run some errands at 11am BUT when I woke, it was 12+pm oready. Oops. But seems like I'm not alone cos Jane just msged me on MSN saying 'I'm so brilliant, i just woke up'. Haha. She was supposed to wake up at 8+am for an appointment and she wakes up 6 hours later. Lol.
Ok lah people, it's just abit to keep some of you entertained. Tahan for the time being k! No pictures until my com is up cos I only do my photos on my com.
