im waiting...

Blogging from bb's place right now, bb is watching TV now while waiting for the bed to be delivered. His parents got him a new queen sized bed and so we went to Metro and got a new set of bedsheets and quilt this morning. Total spending's about 260sgd for the whole set of bedsheet, pillow cases, bolster cases and quilt and quilt cover. No discounts on that cos the price is already discounted. The shopping was fun, just like a newly-wed couple looking for their own furnishing! I can't imagine how chaotic it will be next time when I get married.
Went to Joy's place for gathering last night. There's quite alot of variety but too bad, for now I can't eat the steamboat stuff cos of the seafood. Despite that, I sat together with the rest around the table and enjoyed suan-ing each other.
Since Joy had nthg planned after dinner, siew hui's hubby suggested we play mj and so, we did. It seems like the usual routine everytime we go Joy's place, eat steamboat and MJ.
In the end, I won but didn't expect that cos all are experts and I didn't 开胡 until 南风。
bb came during the last 2 rounds but he drank abit more so never talk to the rest.
So to sum everything up, I had a GREAT night last night! =)
thanks joy, and to your mom for helping us with the food and organising it!

my treat!

was home the whole afternoon yesterday after getting back from bb's place.
went to get the lighter felicia had purchase from my blogstore. wanted to buy the stamp from the SAMachine but they don't accept cash so cabbed to the nearest MRT station near my place and bought the stamp and got it sent out.
5th aunt dropped by our place in the evening. At first I was curious on why, later than I know she came over to pass us the Popular member card. Anw, since mum hasn't cooked and aunt was alone, I suggested to dine out.
Mum was skeptical if dad wld like the stuff outside. I thought the food I was going to recommend was nice and so, I thot nthg of it. Just go and try. Wanted to treat them to the restaurant opp. Beauty World @Bukit Timah but no transport and I am sure dad wouldn't want to cab there. So I brought them to cwp's 店小二.
Met dad at cwp and he reached almost the same time as us.
We proceeded for dinner. Ordered their specialty and dad sung praise for the food, though he did say cannot eat everyday, will get sianz of it.
I could see they enjoyed the food alot.
After dinner, we went to citychain to get the watch strap adjusted. Had gotten them a pair of watches as mum's bdae and father's day respectively.
after that, home sweet home. Due to the rain, we bused home cos there's shelter to our block.
How I wish I own a car... so I can drive them around for dinner.

Oohoo...

Finally the site is up and running but Felicia (my cousin) told me it still have some problems with the shopping cart. Glad she informed me on this and I spent the afternoon rectifying the links cos I didn't link them up properly. However, she still encounter problems with it so now im kinda waiting for her to get back to me on the exact problem so I could pinpoint what's wrong and also waiting for her order to come in. Really appreciate her in supporting me!

anw, I really welcome all feedbacks and support! Added a stats counter to the site too...

now back to my life...
did I tell my story about the M1 broadband thingy...? I guess not, been too busy on the Misse-Masche site instead of blogging.
anw, was pretty upset when I knew everyone signed up for singnet's mobile broadband instead of M1's but I thot it's okie if we are offered the same service and price, the rest didn't matter. The sad thing came when I realised I was on the GPRS connection instead of 3G so I called and fedback. They gave me one month's waiver out of good will and I accepted it. Then one day, decided to turn off my home wifi and connect to this mobile connection and the results were good; 7.2Mbps. Brought this to bb's place the next day, hoping to get the same 3G to 3.5G connection too... but after whole day of trying, less than 56kbps speed. Disappointed, I called up their CS and told them my problem. Nothing concrete could be done and thus, I decided to terminate the service and spoke to the manageress of the CS dept as well. I must say I am not trying to be difficult but the connection speed is really disappointing. I must compliment the CSO who handled my case for her patience but I must also say the service sucks for the rest of them who served me and I hope they all get a scolding for being bad!

Next is the singnet technical helpline people. don't understand why...almost 9 out of 10times when I call the helpline, it's some guy/gal with very strong indian accent. anw, that doesn't matter... just curious. anw, she gave wrong advice/diagnose and wasted 2days of our surfing time and in the end, I had to use the M1 mobile thingy, resulted in my unhappiness with the M1 broadband speed *M1, you gotta blame the Singnet tech helpline pple for this*. Not only that, wasted our monday waiting at home for the linesman and 20bucks for the linesman to come down and check the line. So immediately after the linesman's gone, I called Singnet to feedback and they just got back to me. For their mistake, they are going to waive off the 20bucks and the 2days of surfing subscription. But I thank the linesman for helping us install the new modem. Luckily I bought a new one to bb's place.

bb say I am like complaint queen and becareful next time they don't let me use their service... but I thot I am just fighting for my rights. I mean, I couldn't be paying 11+bucks for less than 56kbps connection every month when I expect a decent speed if not 1Mbps as promised and as for the lady from the tech helpline, she gave wrong advice and rightfully, we shouldn't be charged! Maybe it's not her fault that she never prompt other alternatives in solving my problem cos perhaps it wasn't listed as one in their system. You know, I always get the impression that the Singnet tech helpline people are always reading a script, like, "mdm, i understand you", "thank you mdm" etc but when they say this, I don't feel they mean it or rather, it's like robot and there's no sense of personal touch. I don't know if you have encountered this before but that's my 2cents worth. Comparatively, I feel more life in M1's CSO, as in, I sense the emotions in them when they say "I understand you, mdm".

and finally, did a sync for the contact. used my home wifi to surf net on the phone. cOol! =)

Finally its up!

My online shop webbie is finally up!
well... the items are sthg great but I did them all, from the design to creation to putting everything online!

It's here @ Misse-Masche. Do visit my site and give some comments.
I would say it's done superbly good but at least, being an amateur at Dreamweaver and html, I have done my best!

Spent a day designing and creating the site, another taking the pics and another, doing some minor edits on the pics and posting them up.
As for the T&Cs and other stuff, I spent half the time editing it over and over again... hopefully, this is the finally version!

Enough about the site, met up with Joy, Eden and Benit on Monday for dinner.
We had Dian Xiao'er. Joy recommended Dong Po meat and it's nice! We went shopping after that and I got myself another pair of heels @30% cos of staff disc @c&k.

Backdate to even further... last sunday. Played MJ again with bb, bb's dad and wendy. For the first time in my life, I got 13Odds... 十三么。 They say after this either you will be very lucky or unlucky but I have experience anything yet...

oPps...

realised i havent been blogging for almost a month...
just too lazy to update but now i have got the mobile internet plan... can surf net on the phone so may update more often...
Times flies. I am in service with my current company for a year already!
but still no news from the HR side regarding the conversion... haiz... i'm still waiting...
then, i went for CPE gathering on the 5th and it was FUN!
first time the four girls, me, christina, merina and sherrine carried the stuff and walked like forever to the pit and started fire... no help from guys...

finally came up with the name of my online shop. if u are wondering, i was toying with the idea of setting up an online shop after i was selling Coach bags on the forum but nothing concrete came up. then, one day, dear was talking abt it too so we decided to do it together. i will handle the admin and he does the logistics. i have also roped in rachel's help, she will be one of our supplier/procurer... i hope it succeeds.

met up with eden yest. initially was to accompany her to sign up the mobile internet plan, in the end, i got tempted and signed up for one too!
oh, and i sold my m600i phone today, getting a new nokia e51i soon...
it's really difficult to part with the phone cos i really like the design so much.

gg to get down to design my online shop webbie soon...
i need inspirations!
