i've been eating ALOT these few days. Just had 2 buffets within 3 days. Time to detox!!!!
haha.. anyway, it's fun meeting up with long-time-no-see friends!

International Buffet Christmas Lunch at Orchard Hotel with the SFC peeps!


The deco is quite prettily set up, but the array of food isnt that fantastic.
i think my durian-lover friends would have to agree with me that their Durian Pengat is the dish most worth it over there, haha!

and these are all my lovely friends i made online (many many years ago.. 6 years?) haha

Darric and his pretty wife, Fannie!


Jeff and his sweet wife, Naomi!


win and (not his wife) Ivan. Ivan belongs to our Zen! haha

The cute girls... lala, zen and jes!

..busily preparing the lots for our gift exchange!! =)

see their happy faces after receiving the gifts, haha!

after that, we adjourned to Kbox for an afternoon of singing together with lala's TMM. Photos in Ivan's dslr ..
;) upload soon hor, hehe!

have a happy new year peeps!!!
Today is the last day of 2009. Live it fruitfully! :D

Christmas Day itself.

Boxing Day.
we found this really good place overseeing Orchard! :D
it's like The Peak in HK, hehe








=)
=)

Merry Christmas to all!
=)

i'm late by one day i know. hee.. but this christmas' long weekend is really abit too long! i know everyone loves it and nobody will complain about having long breaks. i must be crazy but i'm getting bored.. and tomorrow is only sunday! One more rest day from working, hehe

my christmas was wonderful =)
i spent 3 whole days with bf, hehe

i'm not supposed to meet jayen early on Christmas eve cos he says he needs to get my present (guys! last minute!) haha! so i went over to his place around evening because we're gonna send his sister to Australia after that.

This is my Christmas present from baby!

i squealed in delight when i saw the watch cos it's so pretty!!!! It has pink swarovski crystals surrounding a mother-of-pearl dial! wahahahha!!!
i loved it so much! baby definitely deserves that pat on the back and lots of smooches for getting this perfect gift for me!
YAY!

My present (Part I) for him is this..

my friends should have seen me uploading pics of this on facebook in November (see? i shopped for christmas present as early as last month!). It is a Digital PhotoFrame cum alarm clock from Muji. The phone is not included -_- I took the photo to compare the size of the gadget.
The first thing jayen said when he saw this was, "Alarm clock? U scared i cannot wake up ar..."
Then, he realised it's also a digital photo frame so he became very happy =)

i uploaded 45 of our photos in it and it can auto run them on the LCD screen =)
It's very small and cute! though the resolution is not as good.. but still, it's special cos i've never seen something like that before =)
trust the japanese to come out with such a creative gadget!

i took a photo of my dress in his room.

i'm wearing my favourite dress again!! heheee..... i love this so so so much!
Very kua-zhang i know, but i feel damn glamorous and sexy once i wear it! it has a low lacy back! haha.. great piece for Christmas eve!
We had dinner together with jayen's sister and her boyfriend at Changi Airport before they checked in.. After that, jayen and i took the MRT to marina square to watch a movie cos we wanted to avoid the crowd.
old already is like that one.. no strength to squeeze with the people in town or clubs liao..

Before our movie, i asked jayen to bring me to a quiet corner.. he asked why, so i told him cos i want to propose to him! LOL
he got such a shock when i whipped out this...

wahahaha.... but no lar, it's not a ring, heh...
but a pendant.

i bought him a new cross to replace the one he's wearing, cos the black crystals has all dropped off from it already.
=)
yeah, that's Part II of his christmas present and i succeeded in giving him a nice surprise on this special day hehe!



lub lub lub

this christmas comes quietly. Tomorrow is christmas eve already.

maybe i didn't bother to buy any gifts this year. That's why there's not much mood.
hehe..
Sometimes i wish i have a big fat pocket full of $$$ to spend on Christmas presents, because picking gifts for my loved ones really makes me very happy!

i read a book at Borders recently.
yah, all the books i read are about r/s.. like 'Men are from mars and women are from venus'.
It's quite cute, i read the Christmas Edition... entitled, "Why he's so last minute and she's got it all wrapped up"
If u are a woman reading my blog, i bet u have had ur presents bought and gift-wrapped already. If u are a man reading my blog, i know u are gonna run and get that christmas present tomorrow after your work, before u meet ur girl.. Right? hehe

anyway, there's one joke inside the book that cracked me up totally..

Ben was in the department store looking for a Christmas gift for his wife.
"How about some perfume?" he said to the cosmetics sales assistant. She showed him a bottle costing £30.
"That's a bit much," said Ben, so she returned with a smaller bottle for £15.
"That's still quite a bit, " Ben complained.
Growing disgusted, the sales assistant brought out a tiny £5 bottle.
Ben grew agitated, "What I mean," he said, "is I'd like to see something really cheap."
So the sales assistant handed him a mirror.

:D
anyway, we women should really appreciate men who get us presents.. cos "most men get a brain haemorrhage after 20 minutes of shopping".
And those who can get us the RIGHT (something that we love) presents really deserve that pat on their back!
There's one excerpt from the book in this link. Read it if you are free or when u (women) cant really understand why men can almost never get the right presents, haha!

I've not really taken any photos of the christmas lights except this one.

taken yesterday.. at Orchard. I cant remember the exact location of this tree.. but i'm INSIDE the tree, haha

yeap, i went out with jayen to town yesterday. Didnt know why.. but both our moods were down. So we left for home very early.

we slept till 9pm before he called. He told me he had a nightmare and i was very naughty in it. Naughty as in.. the wicked kind.. not the kinky kind -_-

Then, i found out he was very sick.. Sick as in ill, not the pervert sick -_-
and was too weak to buy dinner for himself.. he was having flu and coughing badly.
So i rushed out of my house, bought a bottle of cough syrup and porridge and headed to his place.

He was bathing and his mom opened the door for me =)
i went into his kitchen and prepared the food for him. When he came out of the bath and saw me, he hugged me so tightly from behind ♥♥♥♥♥ HEHE..
Then he called me a nerd!
cos i was wearing my specs :( damn...
but he said he loved the nerdy me, wahahaaa...

when someone can look into ur eyes and tell u you are beautiful even though you're just clad in t-shirt and shorts with no make up...
you know, IT IS love =)



♥

this weekend will be busy.

there's a banquet together with my relatives tonight and tomorrow, there's a christmas party in my estate.
my parents aren't home as they're having a vacation in Egypt with their friends (so fun! i wish i'm in egypt tooooo :( ) we've got 6 tickets for the party so aunt's family will be coming over tomorrow! YAY!!

last night, my project mates and i had a mini-gathering before the year ends and before our new school term in 2010.
we had steamboat! the one near TopOne ktv in bugis.

The food we took, hehe

they even have huge crabs!! But the only thing i love is the beef and my favourite sweet corn! heh..

They had ready seats for the steamboat only, but we opted for the steamboat cum grill. So we waited for half an hour before we could sit down and have our food.
But all is worth it! cos the grilled beef with butter is really SUPERB!
i know just the way to grill it so that the beef is cooked just right! tender and juicy! YUMMY!!! wahahaha....
and i think i finished one whole big plate of beef lor!


vin couldnt join us last minute because her grandma got admitted to hospital :((
so i ended up eating with 3 guys -_-
Actually the thought of going out with only the male species made me quite uncomfortable ( i prefer some girls together with me), plus i know my bf wont be quite happy with that idea.. but
we were already outside and my friends are nice people. Wont anyhow one. and i'm very 检点! haha
it's quite funny cos when i'm with the guys, i can naturally become very 'man' also.


i cooked fried egg with prawn for them, heh!

mark trying to crack the huge crab pincer but to no avail.

after that, raymond's cousins joined us when we adjourned to some cafe with ktv and started ordering hot teas and coffees. haha
but we got bored with the place and left shortly afterward.

Overall, a nice gathering with my classmates. The only thing we hated about the BBQ steamboat was the 油烟味. my hair was so smelly i had to wash it after i reached home around 3am!

AVATAR is one helluva awesome movie!!!

:D

i'm eating A LOT OF THESE!

dark chocolates! YUMMY!

i've been curbing that urge to spend.
whenever some blogshops launch their new collection of clothes, i would be poring over their new arrivals.
most of the time, i do not see anything i like (thankfully!), because i feel most blogshops are selling clothes of similar designs ( i prefer the fashion from taiwan!)
but there would be one or two unique pieces that catch my eye and i would be tempted to get.

BUT i know i have to stop that spending.
so i will go POSB website, log in and scream at my expenses and available balance.
That is one sure way to resist that temptation to spend.

and for the new year, i'm gonna start writing all my expenses into my diary, categorising them under "Transport", "Necessities", "Clothes", "Food", "Entertainment" etc.
Then i can monitor my spending and not spend unnecessarily again.
:(

anyway,
was reading the papers a couple of days ago when i came across this ad from M1.

First look, u might not realise it... but

it's quite obvious the colours meant something.

haha.. remember there was a TV commercial from Singtel (i heard is 10 over years ago), they used a big Red umbrella to represent themselves and a puny orange umbrella to represent competitor M1?

and then when i flipped the pages over, i saw another ad. Now from Starhub.


there u see, haha

in orange words..
and then, in red!


HUR hur hurr......

i am quite amused to see all these telco service providers 'fighting' with one another, vying to offer the best deals to their customers.
in the end who benefit?

consumers we all la, heh...

lazy saturday afternoon..
i'm waiting for my hair to dry so that i can take a nap, i'm sooooooo sleeeeeepy now.
but it's always like that, i bet when my hair is dry later, i will suddenly feel very awake one.

Just got home from SIM for the re-enrolment into next year's semester.
A total waste of time.
i travelled 3 hours (back and fro) just to go there to sign three forms. -_-

so random and nothing much to update, but i bought new shoes yesterday! hehe

WHite canvas shoes from rubi (some accessories shop under CottonOn?)
they sell shoes cheaply, like 2 pairs for 25 kind, hehe!

A Morgan tote bag from Aus, given by jayen's sister and lastly, i got myself a huge bottle of body milk.
Finished the previous bottle of Nivea whitening Body Milk, and realised that Nivea now have a whole range of body milk! haha! From night whitening, firming, cellulite buster and there's even one that makes you happy when you use it, heh.. called HappyTime or something...

The one i bought is for frequent sun exposure. i'm always out travelling, so an umbrella and sunscreen is very important.
I dont think this has SPF, but it states there's duno what UV filters or something.. whatever. i just know it prevents me from getting tanner, and i like that. And it makes ur skin fair and smooth! =)
i swathe alot of it on my neck and arms before i go out, haha


ok.my hair is 3/4 dry.
but i dont care, i wan to sleep now.

last monday, we went cycling at East Coast park.

it feels GREAT to be at the beach again.
we missed it so much!
luckily it was a fine day without rain!

u can see the wordings in the sky cos this was taken behind a pair of sunglasses.
hehe.. without the sunglasses, this photo would be overexposed!

we rented a couple bicycle! jayen's idea, yay!
Monday afternoon was off-peak, so we had the bike for 3 hours =)
we rode to the turtle park

and for a late lunch at the food centre!
I LOVE THIS!!!! Fried oyster with egg..! but we dont eat oysters. i only like the egg and the starch!

SLURP!
our must-have too! BBQ wings!!!

YUMMY YUMMY!!

after that, we rode to a stone bench near the beach to relax =)
the natural lighting is very good, hahaa




and i thought of a fun way to take photos,
hehe





jayen calls me 白白胖胖 and 嫩嫩! GRRRRRR....! he says he likes it and i know he's secretly plotting to feed me fat


love lazy weekdays...
