Friend

So relaxing chatting with an old friend, Sam today. It has been while since we left HP and as usual, we usually had good seafood dinner around Singapore. Today I have brought him to a cosy open quiet bar at the east.

Ordered "Gong Gong", Mussels and fried sotong with mocktails. We had catch up alot on each other talking about life. Interestingly, though he is older than me 8 years, but we have no age gap at all. He is the only friend I have whom I can chat with him alots. We usually can chat for hours enjoying ourselves. A real true friend of mine and glad he is doing well as a SAP manager..

Card Designs

I have made some designs. Which is better? Still sourcing for better design.

Sample Invitation cards

Just completed with three samples of my hand made invitation cards. The pictures are not very well taken by my handphone. It is actually green in colour.

(a) Bufferfly sleeve and card. Have not done up the gift tag yet which i do not think it is necessary.

(b)

(c) Pocket sleeve, card. Have not done up the gift tag but it think it is necessary cos it looks quite plain.

Still need improvement to the samples. The white paper is too soft, would require a thicker ones with some simple design background. As for the cover, it is too soft also. Require to look for a thicker paper cos it is actually an art soft piece of paper.

Which is better? Personally I like the first ones...Oh ya, I seriously dun know how to tie a ribbon and had spent alots of time to get it done. Many sweats..

Dropped dead

Manjong session again today..I had defeated three players..:0 Actually have won $140 but because we played small, in the end, the total sum has to divide by two, so only win $70 lor..Nevermid, I am contented seriously.

Dropped dead now. Have to go schooling tomorrow and really hope I can wake up which is unlikely....Hmm, probably i will only go for afternoon session but all depends...Shall make a trip myself to taka tomorrow after school. Need to buy art and craft thingy from Art friends..

Ciao..

Mountain Tortoise

Din know there is such mobile software which allows the filtering of smses to different folder. E.g. if A person sms, the sms will automatically store in A folder, and if B person sms, the sms will automatically store into B folder. Most amazingly is the folder can be hidden and set invisible and only the owner knows how to retrieve it. So, you can place your handphone anywhere and your wife or girlfriend will now know whether you are doing anything fishy outside.

Heard of flash SMS as well. If the sms is sent to the person, once read and closed, it will automatically self destroy..

hmm, it also has the intelligence for you to configure what type of ringtone the person can hear when he/she call you. Eg, if you have lied to your girlfriend that you are overseas, when your gf called, she will hear the overseas ringtone instead...

Sound amazing right!! Perhaps you have known about it, but I definitely didnt know it at all until my friend told me cos he is using that software in his handphone. This guy has basically two girlfriends at the same time and thats explains...:)

The joy of not living together

Let me convey this to a person, "If you think over 30 and single makes you an oddball, wait till you get into a relationship with no plans to wed..". Actually there is no hurry to find a partner, if fate is not here, why force into it? Be happy that you are single (which some of us would envy), cos you get to enjoy what most of us cannot enjoy..You have the whole world of time to find the right ones cos you are man, unlike a woman..If you miss one, wait patiencely for another boat, I am sure there are ample there...Cheerio

Adorable sweetie

Did not manage to get a good shot of her as she simply refuse to take photo. Umi's two years old daughter was sitting next to me the entire night. She is so damn adorable. The first kid who had called me Aunty most in my entire life. I think about 40 times yesterday. She would say "Aunty bao bao", "Aunty bu yao", "Aunty take this for me", "Aunty water", etc..

She does not resemble her mum at all, but hor, she looks like me leh..ha ha..When I brought her out for a walk, i feel like her mummy instead.

Red packet

Jaseline's big day today!! Eh, what to wear for her dinner? I have been digging my wardrobe hoping to find something to wear. Probably I should go with the black plain halter neck dress which I brought from eSprit few years ago.

Simply drained from last night manjong, still need to catch some more sleep. Nightzzz!!

Gambling

The game which I enjoyed most is Manjong. Actually to be accurate, I enjoy gambling or standing around watching games in casino..I am not those who really addicted in gambling, but I simply love the way I use my brain actively analysing statistics. Once in a while, I still visit casino like twice or three times a year. Never change isn't it? Still remembered the old times when I was in those casinos in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. The most interesting ones was in Perth. Those whom were with me would know the story..We could simply gambled the entire night and go straight to school. The best thing was we brush our teeth in school to get ready for class. That were the fun days I never forget in my life!! Still so sweet...

Well, having said that, I am just back from my majong session in the evening. Run some errands after work and followed by 3 round of manjong. Won only $2..ha ha..but i gave it to my friend who lose. Well, just for fun so it does not matter whether I lose or win.

Turning points in my life

Coming to 30 years old but I still do not feel old until I realised friends besides me are all married and even have kids. Well, I am still young at heart, as though just graduated from university. The difference is my energy level. I could no longer skip my sleep. Still recall my first year work in HP when I always out at night when ppl usually gone to sleep. I would attend meeting at night and followed on with some activites with my good poly friend or with my cousin. We usually out to hang around in coffee house, swimming in the cold damn water middle of the night, geylang eating fruits, chit chat at east coast macdonald, etc. I basically can tour around any part of SGP in the middle of the night and reached home about 3 or 4 a.m in the morning. Surprisely, i still managed to get to work. That's how energetic I was. But now??? hee hee..

Time passes fast. Looking back, I have completed my 10 years plan. Time to set resolutions for the next 10 years...

Some days to mark for this year. 26th of May and 26th of Oct 2007. These two dates set the new start of my life..Changes in my passport and my status. Hope I can make change to my resume soon. Lets count down to end of 2nd year contract.

Amazing News

Sometimes it really needs the right person to come at the right time to do the right thing for you. Eh, thanks to that lady at Tanglin Shopping Centre. She has done the beautiful job to make me kick away my bad habit..

You will not believe it. I went to prescribe a spectacle today and amazingly, my eye degree has went up to 1000 per eye. Listen here, 1000 per eye ok, not both. I am going to be blind one day, trust me. It is time for me to go for lasik and I hope i am suitable for that procedure. Heard that not everyone is suitable. Big sigh..sigh and sigh..

Complete solution is recalled and the sucky thing is that I have used Complete all these while..Suah leh..speechless..have to call the hotline to see what they are going to offer..

No Luck

Eversince I missed the first prize which nearly made me committed sucide (just kidding but at the moment, I really heart pain), I have not strike 4D again..People around me have striked 4D almost every week but how come does not happen to me..For my entire life, I only strike 3 times total up to around 4K with the same number and until now, just no luck..When when and when can I be tai tai???

Life is unpredicable

Fourth day today and I was damn tired. But it is nothing to compare with those who stayed overnight with my grandma. Am on leave today and just back from CGH. Well, she is still as talkative even with her weak heart. She has been cracking jokes and acting like little kid. So cute of her..I suppose she does not want us to worry about her.

Well, actually she is suppose to be discharge today but doctor wanted to put her on observation still because her heartbeat paused for a few seconds a few times last night..Poor aunty whom accompanied her for few nights has also fell sick with VERY high blood pressure. She was in A&E yesterday as well.

Dad, his only son now also took leaves and stayed in hospital to look after her mum. He even promise his mum that he will definitely quit gambling. Well, i have been hearing this for YEARS but it never come true. Hope this time is true. I have a few witnesses with me..yeah yeah..

Oh, I have a friend (28 years old) who passed away two days ago due to drink diving. I think the news was mentioned in the newspaper. He died instantly with three friends injured. My cousin told me that they went to dig his stuff in his room and realised he has 70K debt with the banks..See, See..the cause of buying a WRX..I do not know how his family is going to bear this amount for him..Best thing is they realised besides his 7 years girlfriend, he also had another girlfriend whom is pregnant turned up in the wake..Wow, amazing right..Another sad story..

My heart is bleeding

The specialist told us that they are giving her medication. But people who suffer from heart attack will still have the risk of having heart deteriorate even with medication. These few days are crucial for her as her heart is very fragile. Her heart is montiored by icu. Anyway, we are told to prepare for the worst because there is no way for her to go thru operation due to her age.

My heart is bleeding...Too painful to bear!!

Do not take her away from me!!!

Two missed calls from my cousin during my PMP lesson today. It was 3.00 p.m and my sense told me something has happened. I hate to receive my cousin's phone call out of the blue. True enough, my angel grandma was in A&E when I returned her call. Luckily, my class ended early at about 3.30 p.m and rushed my journey to Changi General Hospital..

She was in A&E for 4 hrs. Doctor was trying to slower her heart beat as the hypertension will cause her to get stroke. Our eyes were red while waiting because doctor has told us to prepare mentally. At about 6 pm, all cousins, nieces and nephews had arrived. That's the time when grandma had stablised and warded, but she is just as weak.

At her age of 92, I think she will leave us anytime this year. She has been a strong lady. A perfect person with perfect eye sight, kind, gentle and loving soul. We shower her with our love heartedly and vice verus, she has given us the same. The closest person deep in our heart, we all know and of course, we pray she can get well soon.

What will happen to me if she left? What will happen to the entire family if she left? That's the scariest moment and I bet it gonna be the worst day in my life. Well, having said that, I definitely have no courage to face it.

Looking at her pale face, her weak breathing, our hearts have melted. When she held my hand, my tears just dropped. Ma ma, do not leave us so sudden, please. You have made our life wonderful and beautiful. I have the best grandma in this world. Ah gong, if you are there to wait for ma ma, can you tell god not to have her with you so soon? The selfish me would like her to stay longer so that she can attend my wedding ceremony and thats the last thing i wanna ask for and do it for her..please, please...

Ma ma, if you could bring me to life when I was primary 5, the year which I nearly died due to appendix explosion. I hope the love I have in you can bring you eternity living. Lets fight together for our future, ok?? Promise me

Before and After

Have learnt a new skill today. Hee hee..so happy.. I am going to learn a new stuff everyday so that I can finally create a montage myself.

Look out for the eye bag. Before and After..

Before:-


After:-

Who is at fault?

This is scary. I have just finished the blog of May (http://pinkmayflower.multiply.com/journal/item/140), the girl who died due to overwork in HP.

Whose fault is that? Her fault to overlook her health, HP fault to overlook the welfare of their staff or the society fault? Many arguments, many views. Which is right?

Health
======
Everyone should be responsible for their own health. If you do not love your body and take care of it, who else can do it for you. If you could not take care of yourself, who else can you take care of. It is a chicken and egg thingy. Do you think that the company will take pathetic of you and let you go on leave or break with many deadlines to meet. However, I do understand that in situation whereby the person is committed and responsible to his work, he will tend to neglect his own health in one way or the other.

Company
=======
I am an ex-HP staff too. It is indeed not easy to survive in HP due to the needs to multitask tonnes of work, the needs to have meeting even after office hour and sometimes up to early morning. Because of these, you could hardly catch some sleep and rest. Colleagues are basically glued to their laptop working around the clock even on weekend. Because of this, HP implemented flexible working hours allowing staff to work from home.

Some who do not work in HP also feel that we have the luxury to work from home or come to office late, but do they know the effort and sacrifice we have made to enjoy this. Sometimes working from home can be worst than working in the office because oftenly you will skip lunch and time chit chatting with colleagues in the office. I still remembered once that I had meeting every night for almost a year being a UAT lead. There was hell!! Come to think of it now, I am very certain that I do not want to go back to such life again. NEVER!! I feel much better without any nights meeting now.

Pros and Cons. Colleagues were nice there and bosses were opened to feedback as well. Very open culture but work kill big time.

Society
=======
Lots of things to talk about Society today. Everyone should know why money is so important today. In Singapore, to own a car, a house, etc are so so expensive. Everything is going up but very often, salary stays stagnant or we have to really work extremely hard to see a bit of money coming in. Very difficult to survive ya. M The best thing is the way the culture runs in Singapore. We usually given tonnes of work to do and it basically the job of two person instead of one. In this case, your boss will tell you that these are needed to support your promotion, etc. Many usual statements provided by those bosses. I can even memorise and know what they are going to say next so I could not be bother to comment. Many many more about this society that drives its nation to suffer.

Medical Checkup

If i remembered correctly, it was my third medical checkup for the year. The first ones was with my family clinic. That checkup was altrasound on my kidneys, bladder, womb. The second checkup was with IDA. I paid $120++ for the woman package. Everything was good except my HIGH cholesterol level and low red blood cell. Me and mine Seafood again..hee hee.

The two tests have proven that I have grown taller. Now is 1.61 m which I used to be 1.60 m only. Hee hee..Dun ask me why I can be taller since age is catching up..I have no idea or is it because of my swimming session.

All about Dreams

Eh? What actually make up of dream? Every night when we go to sleep, we will spend part of the night dreaming or in the dream state. Though we may not remember anything about our dreams but we all have them.

See, I am a dreamer. I dreamt 99% of the time and I do enjoy my dreams most of time. Because I enjoy to be in my dream, I could hardly wake up to work almost everyday to work..ha ha..Is this an excuse or what?? Anyway, I really love to dream. In dreams, I could get to places which I may not have a chance to go to, be with handsome someone whom you may not have a chance to meet with or close to someone you wish to, etc..and because of it, I used to have a dream dictionary with me which I have bought. Now it is nowhere I could find..Damn..

How much do you believe in your dream? Do you always feel that something looks so familar in life which you thought you have came across in your dream..Well, I think some of you do.

Actually, I am amazed by myself. Sometimes I can wake up half way from my dream to answer my nature call. When back to my bed, I will think of what I have dreamt earlier on, if I could remember, I can naturally return back to my dream. Amazed right..I thought so too...Sometimes, I enjoy my dream so much that when i woke up, I will make story to continue and in the end, I often forgot what I have done earlier before I left home..Sigh..

Personally, I believe in dreams. I believe if you do think of a person too much, care about an incident too much, images will appear in your dream and they do reflect reality.

Here for now. Thanks for listening to my crappy stuff..heehee

Lies Beneath

Something shocking. Story begins..

Accidentally realised something happening to an overseas friend today..I was shocked to realise..What have lied beneath have finally came to lights..Is this called hiding the truth or hideous act or I could put as secretive? Fundamentally, the truth is difficult to accept but I guess she has swallowed it and accepted the truth. It has also geared her brain ease of guessing and put her love to a stop. Whether it was a good or bad news, it is up to her to assess. Hopes may have vanished in her heart. Sad news is, it has tortured her for few years but the good news is, thanks god, her path is cleared for the rest of her life and she could move on without regret finally..A phase which reads "Life is like a scam. In the end, what you really want may not be want you want..". It happens most of time and it is up to individual to accept the path and be brave to face the challenge. Do not be the weakest link.

My friend, stop looking back, if anything can be done, it would have been done long time ago. It was obvious that no effort has been delivered or sacrificed. If anything can be done to heal your wound now, that is time.

Activities

Manjong session last night was fun. Basically we have cracked jokes and laughed heartedly during the entire session. My jaws nearly dropped.

Just back from a streamboat dinner with two pretty ladies. Suppose to be ladies night, so we ate and went for a short shopping at Marina Square. Ended up buying a blue top from Zara.

Work has been busy throughout the entire weeks. Cannot stand it but what to do but to whine everyday lor..sigh :(

Next Wed is my photo shooting session. Been raining almost everyday and hope it will not affect my day else have to wait for next date..Lets pray!!

Hmm, I am planning to go for 3 weeks leaves to UK this coming July. Have informed boss and no response yet. No response mean ok or not..Well, I don't care, when time comes, i will pack and go...

Full House

This is my favorite korean drama and it comes with a nice touching song. Shall keep this and leave it in my memory.

Oh, I am crazy over this guy, "RAIN"..how I wish my boyfriend was hot like him...

Double Eyelid Surgery

Heard there are two types of methods: The stitch method and the surgical method (by laser or blade).

Got this from the website. Not sure if it is truth.

Dr Woffles charges $3k for stitch
Dr M Huang $2.5k
Dr L Kuek about $3k
Dr Chan charges begin at $2.2k for double eyelid surg.
Dr Fong's charges are definitely lower in comparison..

Have read Dr Fong's details in the website. He is also a famous doctor and he is charging reasonable price. Anyone has done some research before and which method is better. Any recommended doctor as well.

The aesthetic plastic surgeon at my clinic is Dr. Rexon is charging around $2550.

Don't ask me to go for Dr. Woffles Wu ok..Though he is the most famous ones, but I simply hate that face of his..

Life is never easy!!

GO GO, JIA YOU!!!

GO GO, JIA YOU!!!

GO GO, JIA YOU!!!

The Moment

Too much surprises recently...Just saw my friend's wedding photo and realised he was married last year Oct. I thought we used to be good friends but how come the 5 of us never even know about it..Simply secretive and the reason he gave was "No banquet what! So no chance to announce to us". Eh, is that a valid reason?? Anyway, the most impt thing is as long as he is happy, we will be happy for him..

oh, I saw WenPing and his gf the other day at houseman, a coffeeshop near SGH. He called me and chat for a while. Greeted his gf and sense that she did not seem to like me..ha ha ha..ya ya, I can understand..I met her once before and at the time, she was only a friend of wenping and we went to Fusion together. That night was just a drama. He was basically dead drunk and kept asking for me. She called me for help..Guess where was I? I was at King Corpthorne having coffee with a friend and ignored him totally..Come to think about it, I was so heartless at that time thinking that his friends would help him..Well, actually he should thank me. Maybe that incident had brought them together leh..ha ha ha..the devil is calling herself an angel now..*wink *wink

Plastic Surgery

I finally took the right bus home from parkway today..So proud of myself..You know what? 70% of the time, I often took the wrong bus home..ha ha ha..I am always very sotong when taking bus..

Went for a hair cut and highlight today. This hairdresser was very interesting..I kicked off conversation like the colour of top she was wearing, plastic surgery, facial, etc and she could really talk non stop. Seem like hairdresser can earn quite a big buck huh?? She mentioned that her ex-colleagues went for breast implant, nose fixing, double eye lid surgery, etc. Her aunty is even a plastic surgeon in Canada..Hmm, why are we still working as IT profession then?? Anyway, I did enjoy the conversation with her because it is all about ladies' stuff.

Well, been thinking to go for double eye lid surgery this year..Probably around May or June I guess..Have not decide yet because I have not done much research about it..On one hand, I am also afraid of failure..Well, lets see how..

What has happened?

Tell me what has happened between http://affectionoflife.blogspot.com/ and http://www.affectionoflife.blogspot.com/. I am confuse...urrghhhh, something is not right!!

The Shock

I felt the earth moved last week..Have given me a shock..At that moment, I was working and all the sudden I felt giddy..That minute, I opened my drawer, grabbed my bag and ready to run because I thought the building was going to collapse..ha ha ha..Anyway, I left the building in a rush for lunch..Thats scary..First time in my life I experienced it..The shock remained in me for the day..

In the evening, when I was sitting in the cab and I thought of an incident. As usual, I like to day dream..Shhh, that's one of my hobbies :P. If one day we are all asked to evacuate from Singapore and you have air tickets for the entire family to fly over, what will you do to your pet?? My eyes went red at the moment and my decision is, I will stay behind to protect my dog..I am willing to exchange my life for my dog because he has his rights to live. I will never leave him behind..How about you?

Forgive and Forget

C'mon..forgive and forget, but how many times in life did people usually execute it together? To face the reality, usually we can forgive but can never forget..."Serene, I can forgive you but I never forget..." my colleague told me..ha ha..we were jokingly bringing up the incident which happened months ago..You know lah, I am very bad tempered person and happened to scold her the other day about a surprise deployment..Luckily, we admitted each other fault after which..

Same here for love..It takes minutes to fall in love but it usually takes years to forget a person..A rain drop was crying that day and another rain drop was asking what has happened. This cry baby said she was dumped. Rain drop said "You do not need to cry, if the person does not want you, it doesnt mean that you are no good. It is him who is at the loss". Do you usually tell yourself that it was a blessing in disguise after months or years??

For me? I know myself as a person whom can forgive but never can forget too especially when the hurt was deep..especially when you trust a person to hurt yourself!!!

No mood

Otah and fishball? Otah and Satay? ehh...urrgghh..Damn, what are the two dishes should I contribute to my grandma's birthday this sat?? This is really cracking my head big time...Until now I still could not decide what to buy..sigh..

Doomed this time..Have put on weight during this chinese new year season..How to look pretty in gown? I have not even select and try gowns yet..Think i should start my slim down plan tomorrow..

Little adorable nephew

Surprises

Received a shocking news from one of my colleagues accidentally today. Heard that two of my close colleagues are leaving end of this month. This is a shitty news isn't it? Sigh..What to do? Nothing but wish them all the best and our friendship shall remain..

Saw my little 3 month old nephew during chinese new year. He is really cute and handsome. In fact, cute and handsome is an understatement. He is the best looking baby I have seen so far..So adorable and has really really sharp features. Gentle double eye lids, fair, nice face sharp, big eyes, adorable face, etc. Everything just goes perfectly for him. Just 3 months and you can see his features so so clearly. God has really given alot to this little child and my family. My cousin and her husband had went through alot in their life. They have been trying for a baby for years (really years) and recently, the husband was diagnosed with Hep A and moreover, my cousin also been through an operation on something. God is fair by giving them a baby in surprise and eventually it arrived. He is their precious. Everyone in the family praises about him and no one bear to leave him...

Have taken a shot of him in my handphone but unfortunately my stupid IBM desktop does not have any infra red function. Bloody hell, how on earth can a desktop does not have this feature? It surprised me also..Guess I need to infra red to my work laptop to import the photo here. I shall do it tomorrow if I remember..:P

Happy Chinese New Year

Have not been actively updating my blog recently..Well, been occupied by meetings and activities..I just took up the sukoku game to train my brain power as I realised that I have not been thinking hard enough. My math used to be very good but now, cant even calculate well. Everytime when come to PGP and project funding, I have to seek my colleague to calculate for me to double confirm..ha ha ha..My brain is too lazy or probably age is catching up..After all, hope this game can do me good...

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to everyone. Gong Xi Fai Cai.

Happy Valentine Day

It takes one day to increase your age by 1 and takes one year to live with the age. Happy belated birthday to me..I am a valentine eve's girl and basically I usually lost a present which is not very good. Yucks...Sigh, 29 liao, another one year, the digit 3 will appear. Sian mann...This year is very special to me because my family actually brought me a birthday cake and had a dinner..Thats simple but warm. Thanks to friends out there who have given me the greeting especially to my cousin, Aileen.

Anyway, Happy valentine to you all you out there. Enjoy this day with your love ones..

Fruity Cartoon

Cruel Act

This was not what I have witnessed last saturday on the road.

Instead, two small dogs (could not remember the breed) were standing freely and enjoying the breeze on the legs rest of the scooter when the driver is riding the scooter on the road. It was not funny or cute at all. At that moment, I was shocked to see such incident. How could the driver be so irresponsible? What if the two dogs saw a passing dog somewhere and jumped off the scooter? CRUEL ACT!! I should have taken down his scooter number and report it to the police. Simple hate the sight..Unbelievable.. May justice bring this guy to prison..

By the way, the dogs in the photo looks cute. I saw the similar breed before in Orchard and taken a photo with it before. It is actually the same size. Similar dog can be found in one of the apartments in Orchard near border as well. Everytime when I drove passed the apartment, I will sure peep through the window to look out for the dog. The sight of him brighten up my day.

The Dive Instructor

Beware of the shop name known as fusionSCUBA situated at 395 Jalan Besar Unit #04-01 Singapore 209006. It is just a level or two above the massage parlour.

This shop is owned by Raymond Seet Yong Hwee, a short, plump and tanned coloured guy who run his business alone. His PADI instructor no is 478863. Met up with him few months ago during the last dive fair at suntec city. He was recommended by a friend and so without doubt, had signed up with him verbally (requested for one to one coaching). On the same day, I was asked to fill up couple of dive forms. I could not remember what actually those form are. Should be those accident, health, etc declaration forms.

I signed up the open dive course with him in June (cant remember, it is the month the dive fair is hosted) and completed it only in Sep. Within this period, it was lotsa of hell handling this guy. He would either tell you the dive appointment this weekend and will call back you to confirm. Trust me, his weekend will never come, he will never call you back. You can try waiting for years..If you try to contact him via mobile, you could never get in touch with him. Either no answer or a superb fast return sms telling you "I'll call you back". There was no response even you sent him nasty smses. I bet he could not read english..Thats what he told me..Real painful process. He is the most most irresponsible person you will ever want to meet in your entire life. Apparently, my couple friends too encountered the same incident.

After months, until now, I have not even gotten my PADI card. Called him once and thanks god, he picked up his call, when being asked about my licence, he said that he had already sent in the application. Guess what, after checking through PADI website under replacement of cards, there's no record of my name found. Out of my surprise, there are actually a number of victims (more than 10) affected under his coach, I am not the only ones. PADI even confirmed that they never receive our application at all. Could it be he wanted to save the $80 PIC card and thus he never send out any of the application out? This guy is really something. Not sure if he is smart or what, he never leave any form of evidence with us to bring him to CASE. No invoice, logbook, textbook, test paper, etc are all with him..This is really frustrating and with the way he run his business, there is no tomorrow.

I hope to send this message and warn out to everyone, give a second thought if you would like to take up any form of sport with this Raymond. He may be a fun guy to hang out with, but he is definitely an irresponsible person. Do not come and tell me that he is a good instructor just that his paper work is not as good, I trust this is all big time bullshit. As a PADI certified instructor, you should be fully well equipped both physically, mentally and must at least be moral responsible. What is the utimate objective of every customer who stepped at your doorstep, paid to take the course from you? Not only we want to master the skill, we paid to get our certification. Can he help us in fufilling our objectives after giving him so many chances to deem his trust from us?? What is PADI say on this incident? What is the plan PADI going to help? On what basis did PADI certified Raymond as a instructor? Many questions have been pondering but who can tell me the best solution without the needs to repeat the course again..

I am sure there are lotsa victims out there echoing the same as well..

Note: The same message is published in google http://diveinformation.googlepages.com/home and sent to AUS PADI for their review

Marriage Game

I picked this up from the music site. The lyrics is quite funny...ha ha ha

[Intro]
I'd like to say"Your Ready", but I'm not ready
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the sunshine and the rain
For better of the worst, girl this is not a game
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name

[Verse One]
Now love I've been make you understand
That I rather be with you and I'm happy I'm your man
And your moms and your pops I've seen walking down that alt asking what's up
'Cause it's been awhile, 'bout seven years now
We've been together baby, but girl I'm still not ready
Take it easy don't push me away, don't want to make a mistake
I wanna do thing right and my paper right
Wanna be 100% is with you, I wanna spend my life

[Chorus]
Marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the sunshine and the rain
For better of the worst, girl this is not a game
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name

Marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the joy and trough the pain
It's more than a ceremony, more the a wedding rain
A marriage won't change, nothing but your name

[Verse Two]
Ever sense you cut that boot cake at your friends wedding day
I've been under pressure babe (I've been under pressure girl)(?)

I know you love me baby, but girl I'm still not ready
It's so many thing's such you don't know about me
Even though we've been together for so long
We got along, way to go, so girl lets take it slow

[Chorus]
[Break down]
It's that I can't see myself a life with you
Girl I aint going nowhere, lets take our time
And it says something that you just jump in to
And marriage don't change no

[Chorus]
[Outro]
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name
Unless is real love, trough the sunshine and the rain
For better of the worst, girl this is not a game
See marriage don't change, nothing but your name

Beauty

Anyone to recommend salon which provides eyebrow embroidery service? Erabelle did a good job reshaping my eyebrow but they are charging me $500 for eyebrow embroidery. Actually it will cost more for my case because the colour with Jip Yip did for me few years back has changed to an superb ugly colour. Erabelle recommend me to decolor it before they apply the new colour. They did a great job to my new eyebrow shaping but the price is too steep for me to consider taking up the embroidery service. Thats explains why I am looking for an alternative salon who can deliver the same quality.

Looking out for ampoules as well. Most of the ampoules are quite expensive. Went to CK Tang today and saw this Dr. Hauschka's ampoules. Looks good and cheap also. One ampoule for only $4 and the box costs about $200. Thats actually consider cheap. Other better recommendation as well?

Smile

Finally it is cleaned and white..Oppss, I am referring to my teeth. The young male dentist is great except that he is so so talkative. He talked to me for the entire 45 mins. Hey chap, how do you expect me to answer you when you are processing the procedure?? Thats really funny. Well, he just could not stop even I was paying him..ha ha ha....To observe, actually guys nowsdays can really talk more than woman. Time has changed.

I will be back to see him again definitely. He is much better than the ones which I often visit which is at Parkway. Now at city hall, it is much more convenient to me. For $60 and he really did a good job, not missing any steps.

Teeth whitening is so expensive. The cheapest ones cost $800. Well, I don't think my teeth is so yellow to go for it, that means I shall drop the idea. Probably I shall buy the "bite on" type when date comes nearer to my photoshoot. That is a 10 days process and not cheap also, probably about $300.

By the way, I have learnt two new words recently from my colleague. Quite amazing with the way he put it sometimes. Anyway, the word "OPPS" means "Other People Problems" and "Pettifogger" means someone who does unneccessary things. We know who that person is. Ha ha.

Ok, got to go now. Tomorrow no work but need to attend seminar at Grand Hyatt Hotel early morning. Hope I can get up and catch the bus mann.

Ciao..

Occasions

Hey guys, now you should know where all your charity funds have gone to after much incidents which had happened. This guy was paid 58% of the charity income alright!! Oh gawl, really unbelievable. First incident was the "peanut", and now was about Youth Challenge. Moral of the story is do remember to donate wisely in future..FOOL!!!

Tomorrow is Oggy's 32th birthday and I havent even bought anything for him yet. Am still pondering what to buy..Think I have to wake up early to Vivo to get him something before i meeting him to Utopia photography studio appt tomorrow. No choice lah, have to rush..what to do...

I have gotten my red date. Shall set my ROM date on 27th of Oct. In fact there are two dates to choose, but have played a coin flip game with Oggy and he won..So we are going for the Oct ones instead of Sep..sob sob..

All about Moles

Saw this mail from my friend..Thought it is very interesting to put in my blog..I have mole at position 2, 7, 20 and 21..hee hee

Moles and what they say about you The Chinese Almanac, also known as the Tung Shu, is commonly known as a book of auspicious and inauspicious dates, but there is so much more to the Tung Shu than that. It is a vast mine of information relating to astrology, codes and symbols, derived by the wise sages and philosophers of ancient China . In this issue, we bring to you the secrets from the almanac regarding moles on your face and what they mean depending on which part of your face they appear.

First, check your face for any moles, and then look at the diagram above to identify the number(s) that are a closest match to the moles on your face. Usually, the moles only hold meaning for you if they are prominent and they are the only one. If your face if full of spots, acne or "little" moles, they do not count. When you've ascertained which position corresponds to the mole on your face, look up the meanings listed by numbers below.

Position 1 to 3

As a child, you are somewhat rebellious and a free spirit. You have an innate creativity and work best when you are given a free hand. Generally, your superiors like your avante garde approach to life. If you have a mole here, you are far better off in business and being your own boss rather than working for somebody. What is promising is that you have the luck to be your own boss.

Position 4

You are an impulsive person, often acting with a flamboyance that gives you charisma and a sparkling personality, but you can be difficult when there are too many opinions. You tend to be rather argumentative, but never to the point of holding grudges. This mole tends to give you an explosive temper and should you decide to remove it, you will find yourself becoming calmer and more at peace with the world.

Position 5

A mole above the eyebrow indicates that there is wealth luck in your life, but you will need to earn it and work harder than most people. All the income you make must be carefully kept as there are people who are jealous of you who might attempt to sweet talk you into parting with your wealth. Be wary of those who try to interest you in get-rich-quick schemes. If you have a mole here, it is advisable not to be too trusting of others. Follow your instincts and be cautious. And never allow other people to control your finances.

Position 6

A mole here indicates intelligence, creativity and skill as an artist. Your artistic talent can bring you wealth, fame and success. It also indicates wealth luck, but this can only be fully realized if you follow your heart rather than stick to conventional means of making a living. Success will come if you are brave.

Position 7

Moles under the eyebrows indicate arguments within the extended family that cause you grief and unhappiness. This will affect your work and livelihood. It is advisable to settle any differences you have with your relatives if you want peace of mind to move ahead.

Position 8

This is not a very good position for a mole. Your financial position will constantly be under strain because of a tendency to overspend. You also have a penchant for gambling. The only thing is you must know when to stop. Meanwhile, someone with a mole here has a tendency to flirt with members of the opposite sex as well as with the same sex. Better be a little discerning where you exert your charms, or you might get into trouble.

Position 9

This mole position suggests sexual and other problems. It is an unfortunate mole and you are well advised to get rid of it. It brings a litany of woes and a parade of problems.

Position 10

A mole here just under the nose indicates excellent descendants luck. You are surrounded by family at all times and will have many children and grandchildren. You have the support of those close to you and will be both materially and emotionally fulfilled.

Position 11

Moles here suggest a tendency to succumb to illness. It is a good idea to have this mole removed especially if it is a large, dark-coloured mole. Otherwise use lots of foundation to cover it.

Position 12

A mole here foretells a successful but also a very balanced life. You are likely to be not just rich, but famous as well. But although you have every opportunity to live the high life, you will have a satisfying home and family life as well. Women with moles here are particularly lucky and tend to be beautiful and glamourous as well.

Position 13

Your children will be a big worry in your life. Your relationship with them is not good. There is nothing much you can do about this except to learn some tolerance.

Position 14

A mole here suggests a vulnerability to food which can be a big problem in your life. You may have allergies against certain foods or you may simply be eating too much.

Position 15

You are a person always on the move and constantly renovating and redesigning your house. You like to be introduced to new things and see new places. You are not happy if you remain in one place for long. You enjoy travel and adventure, and have a very observant eye.

Position 16

You need to be careful when it comes to eating, and also when it comes to your sex life. These are your two biggest problems. You tend to have weight issues which can make you depressed. You enjoy romance, sometimes with more than one person, but because you are a person with some morality, you will feel guilty about it and this will cause you much stress.

Position 17

You will be someone of great social prominence. You are active on the social scene and an excellent conversationalist. There is a tendency to become bigheaded about your success, which could lose you your good name. This will affect you deeply because you draw your confidence and self worth from what others think of you.

Position 18

You are a person always on the move. There is a great deal of overseas travel in your life, but you should take extra care each time you cross the great waters, as your mole prefers you to stay at home.

Position 19

You have money luck and many good friends, so this is a good mole to have. Your weakness is that you tend to succumb to the charms of the opposite sex. In your life, it is this that could get you into hot water, so do cool your ardour!

Position 20

A mole here can be very lucky or very unlucky. If you have a mole here, you are destined either for extreme fame or infamy. You have great flair for creativity and are also highly intelligent, but your talents can be used for both good and bad. You are not a person to be trifled with for you are no pushover and do not forgive and forget easily. This mole is a mark of someone who will go down in history either as a great or as a tyrant.

Position 21

This is a good mole, as it suggests plenty to eat and drink throughout your life. This mole also brings fame and recognition.

Position 22

Your life is always happy and things go smoothly for you. You could well become a sports superstar if you have the passion for it. Moles at the end of eyebrows also suggest a person of authority and power, so if you are the CEO of a company, you will do very well.

Position 23

You have a high IQ, and you are both brain smart and street smart. You have a highly-developed survival instinct and will lead a meaningful and long life. You will be active until a very old age and will have friends and family around you till the very end.

Position 24

You will achieve fame and fortune in your young age and you are advised to use this period to safeguard your old age, as people with moles here tend to have a harderlife as they get older.

Position 25

You will enjoy good prosperity and recognition luck, but do be careful of excesses. Stay traditional in your attitudes and you will have a long and fruitful life.

Lost

What to write today?? sign..My brain basically not functioning after work recently..I could not even recall things at all..Ample times when questions were asked at night, I could not answer at all..That bad!!

Lets enjoy the entire process

Have submitted the application form this afternoon for the geomancist to suggest me some good red dates. Be patience to wait at least 1 week for the returns..Realised that date is so impt because whenever I stepped into bridal studio, consultants will ask me about my red date..hee hee..

OK, I have approached three bridal studio so far together with my colleagues or myself. One of which is definitely out because photo sucks and wedding gown also sucks big time. Shall be going to another studio at tanjong pagar with my friend tomorrow. She just signed up with this studio "iwedding" and heard can get many freebies and special discount for me...

So far, I like the wedding gown from silverliningbridal as they design sexy gowns..Moreover, the owner of the studio is a not bad good looking, friendly and approachable gay..**wink **wink. hmm, I trust gays especially more than women because they are usually more talented. Sorry for women out there, but it is truth. As for the photographer, I would prefer Utopia..Lets see how it goes since I still have ample time to explore further. Quite fun actually..Havent got into any gown trying yet, maybe after I shortlised some of the studio first.

Wedding Procedures - Need advise

Step 1 : Guess we need to confirm our red date first. Until now havent even bother to get a geomancy to find a red date for us..Ha ha..Lazy sia..

Step 2: Intend to hold solemnization in a function room or by the pool. These are the places I am looking at now. Anyone has other suggestion for my consideration, please.

1. Conrad's Salon by the Pool (http://www.singapore.conradmeetings.com/sincici/photo_20.html)
2. Changi Village Hotel - Poolside (http://www.changivillage.com.sg/index.cfm?id=8F130CB4-F206-A174-376690E6EE2F81B7)
3. Amara Hotel - Poolside (http://singapore.amarahotels.com/fac_sg_fr.htm)
4. Labrador Park

Actually I like the ones at Changi Village Hotel. The pool looks nice to me and the overall atmosphere is very cosy. The intention is have my solemnization there and lunch with two of our families. That's simple..Simple and effort-free is my style..:P..

Step 3: Need to find a cheap and nice wedding store to take wedding photo..Any recommendation in town

Step 4: Register a red date and an available solemniziser.

Step 5: Plan for honeymoon.

Am i getting the steps right?? First time woh, so quite confuse and need advise here. Hmm, how do i get started?

Tiring day

Urrrghhh, unforgetable love really bring tears to my eyes..Been watching Korean Drama since Thursday night. The story is so touching and I have been shedding tears so drastically..ha ha..Rating for this drama is 8 out of 10. Quick, go and buy or rent or borrow from someone...

Today was quite a tiring day. Slept at 3.30 a.m this morning..hee hee..anxious to finish up all the drama mah..Woke up early 9 a.m for my facial appointment..The doctor was again insane, treatment procedure was again so rough but at least worthy for the money. The previous ones took only half a hour, today was one hour. After which, rushed to meet my colleagues for lunch at Tung Lok Restaurant and then to hair do..almost drained off..

A compliment from my hair dresser today..Guess what?? She mentioned that my look still the same as 10 yrs ago..never change..even now still does not look old...True or not?? Please lor, I definitely look different from last time lah..She must be pulling my legs...

Ok then, that's all for today..I wanna rush for my tender spec now and get to sleep....Should leave my strawberry strudel for tomorrow..I need beauty sleep

Sophisticated iPhones. I'm Waiting

Wow, don't you think these iphones look cool!! I am a fan of sophisticated attractive phone. This is the one which I am waiting for long..The downside is that it will only launch in SG next year woh..sigh..which means I am going to bear with my current phone for another one year..shitty isn't it..Damn..

By far, the only phone I love was my first nokia phone which I purchased at $1400 which was many many years ago. Remember the ones which was silver and left with fingerprint. Can even treat it as a mirror. Remember?? yeah yeah, that's the ones..

'N' phone, please lah..The designs of 'N' phone are going from bad to worst. 'N' is the weakest link..It is time to engage a next better player to design better looking phone mann...

An ex-colleague from HP contacted me yesterday. I was surprised because I never expect her to remember again after I left HP..hee hee..Well, she is currently working in Cisco system after 7 yrs in HP. Hope she be doing good there, settle down and find me a job in Cisco system..Shall be meeting her one of the days to catch up definitely. Anyway, we are glad that we remain in contact again..

hmm, not feeling good these days. Just finished working from home. However, I feeling very happy after receiving a sms after which. Imagine someone telling you to take good care of health and must live happily at the fullest. This message really tells me that at least a person far away is thinking of me.

3 more days to paycheck

OK!! Just back from a 1 hr 30 mins survey discussion and earned myself $70. The topic today is about Credit Card. Seem like the next generation of credit card is going to be interesting. I am curious to know which bank is offering it. Shall wait and see then...

Work this new year is really hectics and not flowing smoothly. Seem like systems are not behaving themselves. Bugs are crawling out slowly..sigh..Always been wondering, we come to this world with nothing and will leave this world with nothing, why should we work so hard? People always say 'take it easy, it is just a job and get the paycheck and be happy'. I think I never can learn that. Probably just my character to take pride in whatever things I do. I have really high expectation of myself and wanted to do the best. When things go wrong, I always hold on to it and fight till the end. When can I learn to take things easily?? I am tired...boo hoo hoo...

Happiness in a box

Check it out at http://www.gobi.com.sg. Been craving for these little cakes for one week. Don't they look cute, sweet and appetitizing..Yummy Yummy...

For those whose babies are coming to one month and thought of giving out Bengawan solo's vochure, etc, you may wish to consider this. Just something special and a box of happiness is not expensive though..

Coming back to the term "Happiness". 'What is happiness?' Some thinkers say "Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination".

To prove their belief, here is an example:- A man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five storey building and on the left a cottage. When he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. They advise people to look towards those, who have fewer possessions and be happy. If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions, you will always be unhappy

So, in order to be happy, look towards those who have fewer possessions and you will be happy. Well, I am still trying to appreciate happiness in my life.. That's why we always say "Saying is always easier than to execute!!"

You're Beautiful

James Blunt - You're Beautiful

Music Code provided by Song2Play.Com

My Most Favourite Song

By far, this is the my most favourite song. This song definitely has given me great inspiration in life. Once before, I have friends who searched high and low around Singapore music stores for me but failed. For years, I have given up hope in search of it. If anyone out there came across or by luck, able to find this song anywhere in town or out of town, I really would appreciate if I can have a copy of it. This CD meant alot to me :P


Via: VideoSift

Do enjoy it!! Almost everyone in Hollywood showing their support in this song.

Voices That Care was a song written by the people who were left behind or the people who didn't go and fight in the war. Voices That Care was written and sent to solders during the Gulf War. The people who wrote the song wrote it because they didn't want the soldiers to think that we forgot about them. The people who wrote the song Voices That Care had great empathy for the men and women fighting for our freedom. This song is also telling all the solders that we want them to come home safe. Quote from Voices That Care would be Stand tall stand proud voices that care are crying out loud. This quote is telling them to hang in there and you'll be coming home soon. Another quote might be I'm not here to justify the cause or to count the loss, that's all been done before. This might mean that they are singing this song not to make it sound like everyone that goes to war will die, and they believe that they will come home safe. They also sung it to support the soldiers. Voices That Care is the type of song that makes people believe if they go to war that they will come home safe, but even if they don't they won't be forgotten.

The lyrics:-

Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why you're so far away
There - you have to take a stand in someone elses land
Life can be so strange.
I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
That we could find a way
I won't turn my back again, your honor i'll defend
So hurry home till then.

Chorus:
Stand tall, stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feeling your heart how our love burns bright.

I'm not here to justify the cause or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before
I just can't let you feel alone when there's so much love at home
We're sending out to you
All the courage that you've known, the bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way
We pray to make the future bright, to make the wrong things right
(rap: right or wrong, we're all praying you remain strong,
that's why we're all here and singing along)

repeat chorus

Soul mate

Still feelin' lousy. She used to be childhood mate, my closest soul mate, a person who I can share things with, a person who grows up with me and a person who is blood related to me. We have been very close since young, we shared laughter, wildness and saddness together. Memories of them are so close to my heart, however things have changed. The family gathering last monday has given me a sign that everything has lost its connection. My heart is so sore.. Tell me "The Reason" (One of my favourite Songs).



Which is the path I wanna walk now? Still pondering..Sometimes it would good to let things go.

Little Nephew

As a matter of fact, another year has passed. Woke up on the first day of new year pondering what to do. This afternoon I need to get to Ismaa'eel, cousin's son 'aqeeqah and housewarming. My little nephew has arrived last month. I have too many little nephews and nieces that made me almost forgot their names (at least two whom I did not know their names. :p shhh..). Will catch up during chinese new year if I am in town.

Happy New Year 2007

Hi all,

To those who are partying, party hard. To those who are drinking, do not drive :p. To those who are staying at home (like me), do something fruitful. To those who are at friends' house having potluck, eat till your tummy show..While you are having fun, don't forget to plan for your new year resolution. I had done mine and how about yours...

Well, I just completed living room and kitchen cleaning 3 hours back. Started it since afternoon and now my entire body is aching like no one business. Gosh, I could no longer continue with my room tomorrow..Ouch Ouch...

Got to rest. Be back soon!!

Story about my neighbour

Down with fever, sore throat and flu today..So sick..sob sob..uurghhhh. "Hello!" the word was greeted from each of us when the lift was opened. I was on my way to see doctor the next block. Hoo Hoo Hoo, saw my charming neighbour again..How do I get to know him? The story begins..

I used to have two dogs at one point. They are the rascal oscar and playful cookie..They never get along with each other. Everytime, when I went downstair, I had to carry cookie and let the little oscar (which is only 2 months old) walked by himself. He would follow me everywhere I walked unlike cookie would drag me to where he want to walk. One of days, I did the same thing again, went downstair to run some errands with my two accompanies..We waited patiently for the lift to come with this stranger.."Tink Tong", the lift was here. Stepped in the lift and prepared to go upstair and the little oscar just refused to step in. I have to pacify him embarrassing myself infront of the stranger. He was very helpful indeed. He pressed the lift for me while I was saying funny words to my dog..ha ha ha..Finally, after much effort, we were on the way up our floor. "Tink Tong", we have reached the fifth floor and little oscar followed the man out of the lift..Shit!! The man again helped to press the button inside while waiting for oscar to return in. At this moment, the lift suddenly closed. Three of us (the man, cookie and myself) were in the lift travelling up without oscar. My heart was so panicked. Luckily the man reaction was fast, he quickly pressed the sixth floor and me rushed out, run one floor down and looked for my dog..Thanks gawd, I found him..The man helped me with my dogs and returned to the seventh floor and finally we reached home safely.

From there on, we often met each other at the lift and smiled at each other. He is a charming 30 odd man, with the right height, the right body and most of all, he has this deep dimple on his face..Hoohoo hooo..I think he drives a lexus and is married..No sure but when this is how I know my neighbour..

By the way, wanna know how come my oscar was so rebellious that day? The answer is because I was carrying a cane on my hand which I bought when running errands..Obviously, he was scared of the cane..ha ha ha

Christmas Presents

The two hours christmas shopping this evening alone nearly broke my weak back..My legs were so tired that I could hardly walk and not to say, to carry three big paper bags of presents..Finally, I managed to finish my last minutes christmas shopping..Phew..Can't help but to say "Shopping is really a torturing activity". I wanna saluate those who can shop for hours and days.

Presents which I received till now:-

(1) Oggy gave me $1400 cash.

(2) My organisation gave each of us a card reader thumb drive which allows us to easily extract details from our handphone memory card.

(3) My boss gave each of us a big bar of almond chocolate.

Be meeting my friend this friday for christmas present exchange and advance dinner. Can't wait to see what she bought for me..The present which I bought for her is something I really like..It is from Liz Caliborne. Can I give it to myself? It is so tempting and at that moment, I thought of buying a similar set but managed to remind myself that it is not my objective today..See, I am able to control myself..


Feel so sick now. Just finished cooking a pot of porridge to feed myself after a hard day work..Got to go..

Greetings

Friday night

Sec school gathering at Furama Hotel last friday was quite enjoyable..Food was not nice at all but at least we enjoyed each other accompany. Laughter from our table was loud and clear..We must have make the limelight of the night..

Right after the warm dinner, I hopped on to join my colleagues. Been out of the scene for years and finally I joined in the fun with them. That was "St. James Power Station". We queued up for about 30 mins or more to get into this pub known as "DragonFly". "What the heck!!!! How come the music played by the liveband was in Chinese?" my mind was confused for a moment I stepped in. Damn, paid to get into a "low class" place..sorry but to say it was actually like the old Canto pub at Marina South last time..No wonder, I saw aunties when I was with the queue...Second floor was ktv, oh gosh...This was amazingly shocking...Please, please, please, for goodness sake..We hang around for 45 mins and left the place after finished our drinks...Explored for good pubs around and we ended up at "Devils Bar". Not very happening though but it was really entertaining. Saw two ladies whom made our night. They danced and reacted like hunger for sex and men..so horny..so desperate..Every guy who came near to them was their prey...ha ha ha ha..hey hey, woman is also their prey alright..Believe me or not, our table was just next to the live band, dancing floor and railing bar and we had a good view and laugh...

All in all, these two gathering were really fun..Almost lost my voice..hee hee

Life is full of surprises

13th of Dec is here again..Should I grieve or celebrate on this day? On one hand, it is my dad's birthday and on the other hand, it is Melvin's death anniversary. Sigh..He is one of those who died in his sleep. Should I say he is fortunate? Life is full of surprises, a person so young at the age of 28 who does not smoke or drink leading a simple life just left this world..Many of us were shocked by this news, but we still have to accept the fact. Was at the temple today to see and say "hello" to him. When I uttered "Take care ya!", my eyes and voice went soft..

"Happy Birthday to you, Dad. I love you!". Sent an sms to my dad this morning 12 sharp. I am a daddy girl and will remain forever. God has blessed me with the best dad in the world. Though my dad is poor, but my dad has given us alot of care by all his means quietly. He is like a friend to us, he talks rubbish to us, cracks joke with us, shows our friends with respect, never scold us, never control us and best of all, support us in all our decisions.

Not sure why, my bond with my dad is so much stronger than my bond with mum. I have told my dad "I love u" so many times and never in my life did I even mention it to my mum. Met up with mum last friday and had a simple meal and some chit chat. Know what..I seldom have eye contact with my mum when I talked to her. I felt she is like a stranger to me or maybe because I do not know how to communicate and treat her as a mum..sorry..Nevertheless, she is still my mum and I sincerely hope that she can forgive me for not ready to accept her. I will try to one day. Please forgive me!!

Items to look out for

It has been long since I bought something expensive to pamper myself. I have been eyeing a bracklet from Swaroski jewellery for months since feb. I saw it again this weekend..Hmm, thought of buying it maybe this coming Jan..Hmm, really took me one year to decide if I want to purchase..Tough customer isn't it..ha ha.

There are two other brackets I love in robinson as well. C'mon, one time at a time alright...I saw a men bag there too. It was very nice..I seldom eye on a men bag unless it is very nice and i tot the bag was quite catchy. Guess how much it cost? Bloody $500 alright..SO DAMN EX..

Oggy has been complaining that the jacket he wanted to get has been sold out..Poor thing..I was with him sometimes ago when he eyed on that jacket, but unfortunately i did not notice it at all..ha ha ha.I am also looking out for a jacket but until now, I did not see anything I like..well, it takes time..I always believe, when u want someting, it will not appear, but when you dun need it anymore, it will appear..Lets fate decide...

All about Common Law

Hey guys, do you still remember the old uni days which we spent our time studying "Contract Law"? I bet you do remember because that was the most memorable subject in your entire life too. Went for a training on Contract law again today. Terms like "Offer", "offerer", "Invitation to Treat", "Consideration","Minor" all flashes back.. Scary isn't it??..But for that moment, I thought of going back to get the book and study it again just like reading a book. The only difference is this time round I do not need to memorise the case law for exam. Opss, this time round, I definitely would not need to write "In an undecided case"...hee hee.

For gals out there, in case you do not know, please do remember to give 5 cents or a gift token to your husband when your husband gave you a wedding ring alright. As long as you have given your hubby a token, there will be contract binding and he has no rights to take back the ring when file for divorce..So, JUST REMEMBER...

By the way, do you wonder how come we studied "Common Law" instead of "Civic Law"? No one ask that question before.

Mind Riddle

I have enough stress but someone challenged me with this mind riddle. PLease Please help me!!

I borrowed $50 from my mum and dad each which amounts to $100. I took this $100 to buy a pair of shoe at $97. The shop returned me $3 and I in turn gave $1 back to mum and dad each. So I am left with $1. After returning, I still owe mum and dad $49 each which add up to $98. So, $98 with the $1 I have, it totals up to only $99. Where is the another $1?

Christmas is coming

'Are we still exchanging Christmas Present,' asked Jaseline. "Yup!" I replied. On one hand, I was thinking what should I buy for her. How about Oggy's present as well..Every year this time, I need to start to crack my head. Sigh..

Brother's birthday just past. Next coming ones is Dad's ones..Oh gosh..Dec is really a broke month and the best part is I HATE SHOPPING..Everywhere is so crowded and crowd always made me headache..Though population in Singapore is not huge compare to other countries, but shopping centers are always so bloody crowded. Why and WHY????

The most enjoyable christmas I ever had is when I was in Korea. Snow everywhere..So white and thick..That's my first time in my life I was covered by snow..Besides, I did enjoy the christmas shopping at Boston as well. It was really nice everywhere..Houses are decorated with christmas trees, ginger bread, etc. It was really cosy. Christmas in U.S compare to Singapore is so far far different. You should not ever miss the chance to spend your christmas there but please, not in Asian countries. Say me bias or what, but it is the truth..
