My baked rice in a mini bath tub.. looks like my rice got a great 'foam' bath.

Dear's rice in a toilet bowl.. haha.. Doesn't it looked appetizing?

2nd Highlight - Big Buddha & Crystal-cabin Cable Car

It was cold that day and I was quite sick.. Still we went all the way to Tong Chung station for the Citygate Shopping Mall (outlets) and the Cable car ride to the Big Buddha...

The scary see-thru cabin car.. plus super windy climate..

Sighted the Big Buddha.. sitting on top of the mountain

The authentic street.. classic. Starbucks is there too.. Got a hot latte to warm myself.

Noelle's 1st Birthday Party 10 Oct 09

2009-10-11T14:06:00.009+08:00

Venue: Grassroot Club, Yio Chu Kang

Date: 10 Oct 09, Sat

The place is cool.. As the invited guest are all the parents and kiddos, therefore this is a perfect place. There is a corner for the buffet and makan and there is another section for the kids to entertain themselves. Could see that the invited guests really enjoyed themselves.

Check out the place... The buffet and makan place..

The play area... can see that the whole place is theme - Carebears

I reached early to help sis on the decoration of the room.. quite a simple decoration but I thought it was very nice loh..

Look at the "1st Birthday Princess" balloon bouquet.. that was really so sweet. Anyway, I brought it home..

The goodie bags for the kids, and I got one too.. haha.. There is a lot of princess stuff inside the girl's bag
We got a hard time blowing the balloons and tying them.. Check out the act cute team.. haha..

As usual, when Noelle arrived, she was very shy. Cannot let ppl touch her, call her she will look away.. Trying the let her warm up at the area..

The kids really enjoyed themselves.. Hmm... I went up to join them too.. haha..

Then we had the cake cutting session... the cake is cute right? (proudly sponsored by Ivan and Ranis Ah Yi)

See! All the mummies and their kiddos.. Sorry, daddies are not in the pic, cos too squeezy liao.. haha A lot of photos are with the photographer.. got to wait for 2 weeks loh.. This party was really a complete and successful one.. Happy Birthday Noelle!

This little cute hat was meant for Noelle and we all forgot about it.. Wat a waste!

And this Noelle just got herself warmed up and ready to play, erm.. after the party.. haha

Misc pics from Holiday

2009-10-04T02:18:00.005+08:00

Check out our hotel room.. Centrepoint Petchpuri It was big loh. Quite a nice room, but a bit dim at night. Credits to Cheryl for taking these pics while I was poo-ing in the toilet.. haha...

An additional bonus for us for this room was - we got to watch the sun rise.. The sun rises at 6am loh.. so early.. These pics were taken at our balcony..

Last Day @ Bangkok 21 Sep 09

2009-10-04T01:59:00.006+08:00

The last day was no shopping.. We woke up at 7am cos the bus was coming to fetch us at 8am at hotel lobby.. so early loh.. So this day was wasted, no choice cos no other flight liao.. But I think was enough le cos my luggage was full and I had an extra garang guni bag for my things loh.. hee hee..

Had my coffee at the airport cos we were so early.. Got to wait about 2 hours. The coffee was nice..

My pro photographer - Cheryl, helped me to take this pic. Understand what it meant? The Thai language.. Look at the pic below it for answer.. haha...

Wah.. our plane.. Cathay. . This view was good.. can take pic. Not like SG airport, think can't take this kind of pic.. haha

Nothing better to do liao.. took pics on the plane.. haha..

The journey back to SG was not pleasant at all.. We met 2 turbulence and the whole plane was so shaky.. scary loh.. the weather was not good.. look at the clouds..

Finally.. we reached SG safely.. sad loh.. holiday was over for us...

Day 3 @ Bangkok 20 Sep 09

2009-10-04T01:04:00.006+08:00

Today we would be going to Chatchuchak market.. A real hot place, but got a lot of good buys.. Took a cab there. Started our shopping again..

We walked for quite some time.. Bought a few tops. The market was so big. We were trying to walk as much as we could and see if we would pass by the pets section. But we could not find.. It was really hot and we stopped by for an ice-cream. This ice-cream was really heavenly.. I quite like this, it is a coconut ice-cream with mixed fruits.
Can see from our faces that we are shagged right? So sweaty..

Finally... we asked our directions and got to the pets section. See!!!! The cuties... I like this doggy. . Cheryl's Bella was behind (the black one) haha... I like the brown one.. Poody.. you are so cute...

This is the small Yoki.. Shih Tzu.. so cute.. I like it..

This one also (under the man's hand).. I like it.. Don't know what is the breed.. so lovely..

Cheryl captured many shots of doggies and cats loh.. She was like going crazy, wanted to bring this home, wanted to bring that home too.. haha..

We got some bites at Chatchuchak and went for our massage.. So shiok loh.. I never asked for Thai massage lah, I went Aromatherapy body massage, which was 750 baht. Had a good bath and was so shioked! My virgin body massage experience given off at Bangkok.. haha.. (in the end my legs and shoulder muscles hurt loh.. really cannot take body massage lei.. haha.. but the experience was relaxing lah..)

After the massage, it was like 5pm liao. We went back to hotel to leave our things and went out again. Chiong to Platinum Mall to shop for the last 1.5 hrs cos we did not manage to cover the mall on the first day. After the shopping, we were thinking if we should go for a sumptuous seafood dinner.. but in the end, we ate at Platinum foodcourt. Haha.. cos we wanted to go to Central World again.. so don't waste time.

So we went Central World after our dinner and we went to Naraya again. I got another bag out from the shop.. haha.. bought something for Dear's mum cos I really can't find a proper pressie for her.

Then we told ourselves.. That was the last night for us in Bangkok, so it was time to go slow.. Relax and enjoy some food.. haha.. Then we went Haagen Daz.. yeah yeah!! My favourite! Got a hot latte and we shared this ice-cream.. Inside there were 5 scopes of ice-cream - coffee, chocolate, belgium chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. So cool!! And Cheryl who was on diet was eating too.. haha.. Enjoyed!

After the ice-cream, we went for a last min bra shopping at Zen. Got quite a few bras for myself, Aunt and Cheryl Quak. hee hee..

While walking back to hotel, we decided to try the fish that Sarah recommended, thou both of us were real full. The fish was coated with salt and they bbq it.. The sauce was great.. and the fish was nice loh.. yummy.. Really enjoyed myself loh... Next time if I go there, I will come back to this street stalls and have my dinner. Saw a hot pot and it seemed very delicious..

Day 2 @ Bangkok 19 Sep 09

2009-10-04T00:00:00.007+08:00

Tried to wake up early for the breakfast at the hotel and the next thing we did was to start our shopping spree.. :P

First stop was Central World (used to be World Trade Center). Before we reached, saw some Buddha outside, so do my praying first, hoping the trip to be save and smooth. After the praying, we entered Central World, and went directly to Naraya. Oh dear, there were so many things and I knew I can get a lot of pouches, bags and gifts for friends. This was bad, cos I bought a lot of things and end up with a very big bag. (so heavy) Wrong strategy, should put this as the last stop.

I was excited of the small boutiques when I visited their website. However, discovered that the small boutiques' clothes were so pricey.. So we proceed to Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery Center. Main objective to go to Siam Discovery Center was to find this shop - The Loft. Heard from Tracy that there were a lot things in this shop. True enough, we spent quite some time in this shop (very big). I like this shop for the variety of things in it.. Cool! Spent a lot again in this shop and this time, I really could not manage my shopping bags liao. Told Cheryl if we could have our lunch and go back to hotel to put our things... The lunch was not fantastic cos we chose the wrong restaurant.. haha..

This is my Fried Seafood Noodle. Looks like fried Maggi mee right?

Didn't know that it was raining outside.. The whole road was flooded. As I could not drag on, really got to go back to hotel. Sorry to Cheryl cos she could move on, but cos of me, we got to waste time to go back to hotel. Worse, no taxi as it was flooded and jammed out there. We got to walk back.. The walking back journey was 'exciting' and dirty.. haha. Exciting, meaning we got to avoid the water. Trying our best but too bad, we couldn't. Once the vehicles moved, the water would flow up to the pedestrain walkway...

Think I'm mad right? Cos no use avoiding liao, our feet were wet...

Finally got to the hotel, we put our things down and was very tired... But still, we moved on. Took a cab to MBK. This mall was really disappointing. Can skip this mall the next time if go Bangkok. Then Cheryl recommended a place, just next to MBK (there is a small link bridge). There are a lot of small shops like Bugis Village shops. We bought quite a few pieces of clothes there.. At least worth our effort to get to MBK. haha.. Tried to settle our dinner back at MBK cos later part of the night, we would be going to Suan Lum Night Market. This time round, the dinner sucks.. my tom yum noodle is really sucks. But luckily we ordered chicken wings..

See, the yummy chicken wings & the nice Thai sauce..

Right after dinner, we took a cab to Suan Lum Night Market. There are many shops there, think is bigger than the last time I went. Really a lot of things to see.. We tried to walk as much as we could. Bought some clothes and a pair of slippers.. Then we past by this handy craft shop which caught my attention and I went mad again..

Look at the picture above.. the things are all very small .The one that caught my eyes was the pastries in the white shelving. I really liked that a lot. But the price was about $110. Hai~ cannot buy lei.. so ex. But the handy craft were exquisite. If you see the picture, there is a shelving of cookies/buscuits in containers (the old style kind) which is also very cute too. In the end, I bought something from this shop..

Look at this cake.. It is very cute right? Look very tasty esp the fruits on top. Then I bought this transparent glass cake display.. These 2 pcs cost me S$10.

Every night when we got back to hotel, we would try on our buys.. haha.. every piece.. Both of us were trying our pink tees, so took a picture again.. haha.. (First night was Sailor dress)

These were my spree from The Loft. There were a lot of things to buy, but of course I never anyhow grab lah...

These were my spree from Naraya.. hee hee..

Spent a lot on Day 2.. still got Day 3 to go lei.. To Chatchuchak market..

It's time for a break.. 18-21 Sep 09

2009-09-27T23:24:00.005+08:00

Looking forward to that Hari Raya long weekend.. then suddenly Cheryl and I were so obsessed in going to Thailand for shopping.. knew that we could not apply leave together plus our manager not around too.. I still tried my luck.. Haha.. Jac approved our leave!

Looking thru the rates and hotel, we confirmed the booking in just one day. Yeah!

18 Sep, Friday - Thailand here we go!

Thanks Dear for sending me to the airport..

Looked happy right? How I wish you could go too.. But Dear, you are not going in the Departure Gate.. Next time k? Take me to HK? haha..

Yes, this is my travel partner - Cheryl the Gong Zhu.. The happy TWO started to get excited over the shopping once we got in the Departure.. haha..
This was our plane.. Cathay. Looked a lot more bigger than those JetStar, AirAsia...

Reached our hotel at around 4.30pm, got some problems with our room, so switch to another room with Queen size bed.. got out at around 5.30pm.. First stop was Platinum Mall - Wholesale for Fashion. Been there the last time when it was newly opened, not all the stores are filled, but this time round, there were alot of shops and we were unable to cover the whole mall. The mall closes at 7-7.30pm.

Definitely got buy things lah.. haha.. Went to A&W for dinner cos we still got agenda later on... Look at this cute curry rice.. And of course the over-flowed root beer float.. I looked so hungry and happy right?

They shaped the rice to a bear.. so cute right? Can see the nose? haha

First thing we did was to try on the clothes we bought..

Cos Platinum is a no-trying mall (they are wholesale mah..) Bought the same dress.. haha

Yes.. the next place for the night.. Moonbar at Banyan Tree Hotel.. This place was Cheryl's recommendation and she said that this is a must go place for chill out.. She was right! This rooftop bar is on the 61st floor.. Look at the magnificent scenery.. Can view almost the whole of Bangkok!

Ordered this orange, peach dunnoe what Vodka.. forgot the name liao.. haha.. quite nice lah..

I like this photo.. Thanks Cheryl.. haha.. The view is so nice right? Got chance have to go there for dinning although one dinner is going to cost like $100 per pax without desert and appetizer.. haha..

This photo was very blurred, the waiter helped us to take one... wasted loh..

Got back to hotel at around 1am.. Skipped Suan Lum Market which was our plan cos kanna the taxi driver who took us to Banyan Tree.. He heard some Banyani, then took us on a cab tour around Bangkok loh.. Stupid.. But anyway, I enjoyed myself.. Looking forward to the next day shopping spree..

Happy Cooking Event at Bossini Takashimaya S.C. 5 Sep 09

2009-09-27T22:45:00.005+08:00

Yes, another happy event by Bossini. This time round we invited Bryan Wong, Michelle Chong, Peifen to join in the fun event. Bryan and Michelle cooked 2 happy dishes for our shoppers.. And it was such a coicidence that we had 3 events consecutive on the same date for 3 years. 2007 - Rebranding, 2008 - Flagship store re-opening, 2009 - Happy cooking event, all on 5 Sep.

Look at the stage setup, amazed right? A stage set-up for cooking in a fashion retail store.

Got to report to work at 8am for setup. Look at how shagged I appeared on that day.. haha..

Oh yar, this happy cooking event is to launch our Campbell's collection.. So, not forgetting to take this cool window setup by our VM. Full of soup.. And Miss Cheryl was wearing the Campbell tee.

Time to start work.. Bryan was the first to arrive.. So brief him on his role again and familiarised the stage setup. This was the first time for him to cook 'LIVE' in a store - not kitchen. Anyway, he was really experienced, so this was chicken feet to him.

And the show started with Peifen introducing the both of them.. Then of course, they intro their ingredients..

Look at the crowd in our store.. All gathered around to watch the cooking session.. The audience got a chance to taste and vote for their favourite dish. So, they had to stay to watch.. Apparently, they really stayed to watch the show. 1.5hr - Good!

Michelle cooking and smiling to the camera.. Look at her yummy sauce for her

"Happy Yummy Chicky Linguine".

Bryan looked like a pro chef.. Cooking and sweating at the same time.. He was very funny.. Trying to engage the audience at all times.. Really outshined Michelle.

Michelle presenting her "Happy Yummy Chicky Linguine"

Bryan presenting his "Happy Rockety Chicken". Looks delicious right?

And then we had the audience to taste and vote for their favourite dish.. haha..

Seemed like they were enjoying themselves..

Think there is no need to count liao.. It was obvious that Bryan had won the votes.. We had goodie bags for 3 lucky voters who voted for Bryan.. Plus, Bryan took out a special keychain and present it to his 4th lucky voter.. So pro right? Value-add..

A&P team with Bryan and Michelle..

Too bad, didn't get the chance to take with Peifen and she was so pretty that day..

At last, the event was over.. Shagged... Another one coming up again..

This was really bad cos grandpa just happened to pass away on 31 Aug. The week of intense preparation for the event, and being the project owner.. I was really sad, stucked and stressed. Not enought time. Thanks Cheryl for helping and backing up.. Thanks Babe!

10 Aug (Public Holiday), we went to East Coast Park. Brought grandpa out for a stroll and to relax at the beach. It has been a long time since he went out..

Grandma prepared some bee hoon, sausage, nuggets and red bean soup.. Simple picnic.. haha.. Quite a relaxing afternoon (not sunny, cos drizzling)..

Participants: Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Henry, Aunty Lucy, 2 cousins and 2 siblings (exclude Sis April), Jovial, Cheryl Quak and her parents.

Cute Jovial.. so short.. haha.. trying to get his feet in the water

2009-08-15T15:42:00.005+08:00

Poor girl.. Kanna Hand Food Mouth Disease from other kiddo.. Suffering these few days, pity her. Hope she will get well soon!

These photos were taken when she was here in AMK a few weeks ago.. She is forever so shy, I supposed we are strangers to her - seldom gt the chance to see us.. Cannot carry her, she will cry loh... haha

Very hard to get her to smile.. But she is very playful at home woa... Shy yet want to peep at people..

See.. peeping at me.. haha..

Think the brother - Jovial is also at risk.. Now fever liao.. This morning nose bleed.. hai~

Indulge at MOF with Cheryl on a weekend

2009-08-15T15:32:00.003+08:00

Nothing to do on a lonely weekend.. Chio Cheryl to go for dinner.. We went to Sembawang Shopping Center (a place I never went before.. haha).

Went to MOF (Ministry of Food). This MOF is quite small and the dishes they served are quite minimal too.. Anyway, I really like the desert.. Hai~ so fattening..!

Yeah yeah - Ice-cream!

A bit impressed by ourselves. A small mall but has got Daiso in it. Guess what? Don't know what's in Daiso that Cheryl and I spent about 2 hours in there.. Never spent so much time in Daiso before.. haha

The Crew Neck Tee group photo update

2009-08-15T15:13:00.003+08:00

At the end of the event.. Sasha is here.. This is my future daughter's template.. Can anot? Can achieve?

After the event.. really felt shioked and relaxed! The timing is so packed and so eventful for the month of July.. hee hee...

Msia Trip - 9-12 Jul 09

2009-07-18T23:01:00.005+08:00

Got an event in SG and MY on the same day 11 Jul, so need to send one rep over to Msia, which is me..

Went to Msia to help out on their happy fans street distribution along Jalan Bukit Bintang.. And yes, got to take budget airline.. Cheapest in all budget airlines - Air Asia.. And of course we would land on the budget airport too - KL LCC Terminal. Got to take the steps down from the plane, walk a long way outside before you can get into the aircon to the custom.. haha..

We engaged an events company to handle the street distribution.. Got a colleague (Li Shi) from SG to go with me to KL. Met a few partners and agency during this trip, make it useful..

Li Shi & Me

Myself with the Afro Men - they are really talented!! Happy Mascots
The whole crew outside our MY flagship store in Pavilion - excluding Li Shi & my Msia colleagues Dominic & Chee Yoong
Got some time for shopping and entertainment, so it was quite an enjoyable trip.. Guess wat, we got a secret VIP on the last day.. Shall not post the photo... (haha.. you know who you are..)

This is Coach flagship store in MY at Pavilion

In Msia, you cannot miss the A&W.. the chicken wings and waffle with ice-cream right? haha.. a bit Gu Gu for us Singaporeans... Yummy Yummy!

Got a chance to go to Petaling Street, quite a robbery prone place for tourist. Petaling Street in KL is known for its fake branded bags, perfumes, watches and shoes.. Of course I don't know how to bargain, but Li Shi can do a very good job here.. Malayu Gd! She managed to bargain for the fake perfume (Gucci Envy), from RM85 to RM15. Haha... This place is something like the HK - Ladies Street. Just that when you are here, you buttock will definitely get molested.. The uncles here like to walk past you and swing their hands past your back side.. Stupid, what's so good about back side? Will get high like that meh?Anyway, it was really an enjoyable working trip for me.. Less stressful than in SG, poor Cheryl.. Oh yar, Li Shi & I even went to the Red Box (KTV) for a singing session right after the street distribution.. haha..

Bossini Happy Day 3 Jul 09

2009-07-18T22:47:00.008+08:00

3 July was Bossini Happy Day and the 5 Ambassadors - Cheryl, Sarah, Henry, James & myself were supposed to Ra Ra in office and get everyone's best smiles.. The best smiles would be in for our Internal Bossini Smile Search!

It was very funny.. started off at GM's office and think we caught her in surprise.. Haha..

Not much photos to share as the majority were colleagues pics..

My Best Smile Search contest picture.. haha.. not very good lei.. So think I won't get shortlisted thou.

Hmm.. got my photos in our internal communication about the Best Smile Search.. This photo was taken in the photoshoot for the Smiley collection.. so funny.. (DI pictures always look good)

The tagline of this is:

Bossini . be happy

Haha.. why am i doing this? Publicity for the company..

Sunday FAM JAM Walk & Rock

2009-06-28T22:44:00.004+08:00

Supporting the MCYS in the National Family Celebration, our company joined the Walk at East Coast Park today.. We have a total of 117 staff and families joining. I was told by the organiser that they are expecting 3000-4000 people from the corporate side and as for the public, no clue. In the end.. I think we only see a few hundreds ba.. must be due to the H1N1, alot of companies back out last min.. The organiser was even anxious and thought that we were not turning up.. haha

Hmm.. Reached there at 3.15pm. Accept the balloons that I have ordered and then proceed to brief the group leaders of what they should do.. yar yar.. the day was hot..

Cheryl & I trying to take a good pic with these balloons under the hot sun..

Everyone gathering.. trying to rehearse the cheer.. Look at this.. Orange Power!

Preparing to do our cheer at the Start point.. Look at our clappers, balloons and Smiley fans..

During the Walk.. our happy shop staff trying to pose to the camera.. haha..

At the finish point.. when you see this black guy (Security), it means that the MPs are near us..

Yes, we are all in orange, with the Smiley t-shirt.. Those in dark orange belong to MCYS, the organisers and the MPs.. what a coincidence.. By the end of the Walk.. we got some free goodie bags and free ice-cream.. and of course.. I become "Chao Da" black black... haha... It's a nice experience thou.. first time doing this.. but hope no next time.. hee hee ;P

Sunday FAM JAM Walk.. Crazy soon

2009-06-28T00:34:00.002+08:00

Hai~ refuse to go to sleep.. Thought of the stupid Walk when I wake up (Sunday).. Really a turn off.. Got to 自high... Pray that everything goes well..

Friday Night 26 Jun 09

2009-06-27T22:27:00.008+08:00

Friday 26 Jun 09 was a Family Day for us in Bossini, so we can leave at 5pm sharp instead of the usual 6.15pm. Purpose is to go home and have dinner with your family..

Instead of going home, Dear and I went Sunset Way, recommended by Cheryl, for dinner. We were trying to figure the way out and we got to the wrong spot. We went to the ice-cream place instead of the dinning spot. Just right, Cheryl called and I tried to figure out the place she was talking about.

And yes, we were there.. thinking of which restaurant to enter.. In the end, we go for seafood.. Zheng Fa Live Seafood restaurant, haha.. so that I can eat my crab!

Hee hee.. I order a black pepper crab and the waitress recommended lobster to us (got promotion).. So we ordered one to fry with noodles. Plus a veg - Sambal Kang Kong

This crabby is big.. Sorry, i took away the right pincer so it looks a bit empty on the right. When we lift up the that shell, omg.. the roe is all over.. the orange "eggs" i supposed.. I can say I ate 3/4 of the crab.. hee hee. Thumbs Up!

This is the lobster dish.. not those big lobster lah.. hee hee.. the noodle sucks.. but the lobster is good.. Hmm... I still prefer the crab.. haha..

This is the most neglected dish.. but this Kang Kong is nice loh.. I like it.

After this dinner.. we walk back to the dessert place that Cheryl recommended.. Peaberry & Pretzel. Actually they served main course, but we went there just for dessert and drinks. I ordered a sinful chocolate desert and I ate it all.. haha.. This is really shiok, but think my waistline is hopeless.. Lolx

Star Chasing Experience.. haha..

Yes.. This is my first time doing this.. Star Chasing.. can't believe it. Anyway I never tried this before, so it is an experience.

The star that Cheryl and I were chasing was 阮经天, Ethan Ruan. He was here in Singapore to promote his new Taiwan drama, 败犬女王, with the female lead, Cheryl Yang, 杨谨华. She is really very beautiful in real person.

Anyway.. the fans were all Ethan's. But the host reminded everyone not to neglect Cheryl Yang too.. haha.. That day was real hot and sunny. And we were at Bugis Junction waiting for them. We reached there at about 2.45pm. The fans are already there le..

But we went opposite Bugis Village to buy the 'thunder clappers' for the Walk. Then we went Bugis Village walk walk.. I did my G-mask for my phone there.. hee hee.. they got promotion, it costed me $48.

When we went back.. the place was quite crowded already and the host was up there entertaining everyone and preparing everyone what to do.. (e.g. cheer, giving out goodie bags, games to shortlist some fans for up close opportunities with the stars etc)

He was quite funny thou. Asking everyone to cheer for Cheryl Yang as well althought most of the fans are Ethan's. Waited for quite long. They were supposed to arrive at 4pm. In the end, they reached at 4.30pm loh.. Both of us were sweating like hell.. and the crowd are all packed up. My tee started to get wet loh.. haha.. what an experience.. Look at me, trying to get some shades from people around me..haha
This is what happens when stars arrive at any event.. Comon everybody, Let's all hands up! All Hands Up! Then I could not see them loh, knowing my height.. so try to tip toes.. and Cheryl was trying her best to snap pics.. Haha.. More photos to share..

They are giving out goodie bags.. Q & A time..I find that Cheryl Yang is very beautiful in person.. better than on screen.. And of course the Ethan.. very cute.. then trying to act cute also.. haha..

Spot this lady in yellow.. She is Isaac's mother.. our 2 times model for our ad.. Tracy's godson mother.. Organiser for that day also. We did not know that she was there loh.. hai ya.. if not we would have went up and say hi.. then can have up close pics of the 2 stars.. Damn.. It is only on Monday when Tracy showed us her Facebook and she got close pics with both of them loh.. Hai~ What a waste...

Overall this was a good experience.. Standing there with the fans, like we are one.. then when they are high, we are high too.. haha...

Photoshoot for our Bossini advertisement

2009-06-27T19:40:00.006+08:00

On 10 Jun 09, we went for a photoshoot at a studio in City Industrial Building. A total of 10 shortlisted people (8 are Bossinians) and 2 kiddos..

I am the backup for this photoshoot.. hee hee.. It was quite a fun experience after the crew neck tee ad that I had done at MediaCorp. The difference was, I am one of the "models". :p

Some back-stage photos to share.. but I DI the character off cos it is still private & confidential.. (trade secret)

The makeup crew and our 2 Models - Fizah (Shop staff) & April (HR Exec)

The 3rd to go was Sasha.. She is so cute and adorable.. Always tell them that if my daughter looks like her, I will live everyday very proudly.. haha.. she is so sweet.. Look at her, she was not scared or shy.. When she was doing her makeup, she was smiling to herself in the mirror...

Beautiful & Sweet Sasha (Jennifer's niece)

She can really pose.. She is very pro. She can listen to the photographer's instructions; ask her to tilt her head, she can tilt. Ask her to smile naturally, she can change her smile. Ask her to chin down, she also can do so.. Not like other kids.. Photographer got to try his best to capture the best shots.

Then my turn.. haha.. makeup and hair styling.. So funny, first time doing this kind of thing.. Put fake eyelash, draw thick eye-liner etc.

Then we have our project leader Cheryl Tan.. going around to take pics with every models.. haha.. Oh ya.. I got problems with my hair style. This was the first style, then it looked too glam, like going for my wedding.. haha

Ranis with April (2 Chio Bu-s) My hair style changed a bit.. added a few plaids.. April's hair style was cute!

Ranis with Tracy (another model - our VM Manager) haha.. (Do we look pro? Like other professional models taking backstage pics.. haha - Pose pose but cannot over pose)

My turn - cos my concept is "Shopping makes me happy", so I need to hold some shopping bags for my shoot. This pose is very funny.. Not approved lah... Haha.. Oh ya.. this is my 3rd hair style. This is ok.. cos cute..

The A&P working crew for this shoot.. haha.. 3 Chio Bu-s. Do I looked good with this wavy hair? ;)

Will share the proper pics after the advertisement is out.. It's cool.. we have a lot of talents in the company.. haha... 9 people turned out for the photoshoot but we will only feature 7 of them..

Start blogging

2009-06-27T19:27:00.004+08:00

Yes.. Has been quite some time I never blog le.

Dear bought a Thomas & Friends toy for Jovial cos one day he saw Jovial watching the tv cartoon and was calling for "Thomas Thomas thoo thoo...." haha..

So while having dinner at Plaza Singapura one day, he saw this toy and bought for him as a very belated bday pressie..

Busy Saturday

2009-06-06T23:11:00.006+08:00

Today is a busy day for me.. Out in the morning, came home in the afternoon for an hour and then out again.

Visited Sandy at Mt Alvernia - her 3rd child is born!! A new born baby boy with the name Rafael (t.b.c.). He is really cute.. But Sandy was bad.. She wake up from her cesarean and was crying in pain. This is her 3rd cesarean thou.. Pity her..

Look at the boy.. he is so cute.. sleeping like an angel..

And of course his sister Adel is excited for his arrival!

After visiting her.. I went home at abt 7.45pm. Still, hadn't give up for the day. I went AMK Hub's late night shopping till 11pm. Went to Bossini to get some clothes, great deals, 3pcs at 35% off and additional 10% off from 8-9pm. So I was there at 8.30pm. Haha.. Thanks Uncle Henry for giving me a lift there.

Happy for today! Spent a lot time with Dear.. hee hee..

My Nokia 8800

2009-05-31T22:06:00.003+08:00

Finally got my Nokia 8800 - back from Macau!

Tried on the phone.. no memory card~ what can they provide right? Just a $120 phone, somemore Chiong one.. hee hee..

Tried bluetooth song and pic to the phone, it just rejected all. Maybe it is due to no memory card or maybe could be the different configuration. Nvm, so I tried using USB to transfer files from computer. No way too, it just does not recognise and does not allow me to open the folders in the phone. Maybe it is really due to the missing memory card - but the phone itself is 1G lei?

Tried putting SIM card inside and receive call.. Alamak, can't accept call by pushing the phone up, must press the answer button.. Sian loh, then what's the pushing function for right?

Conclusion - a chiong one is a chiong one, don't expect too much.

Pics of the cool expensive Nokia phone..

31 May 09 Celebrate Grandma's Bday (1 Jun)

2009-05-31T21:51:00.005+08:00

Today we went to Chinatown market for dinner. Managed to reserve 2 tables - 15 pax. Grandpa has been wanting to try the fish head at Chinatown so we decided to have our dinner there.

The dinner was great - The Sauce Fish Head, Cuttlefish Sambal Kang Kong, Pork Ribs, Sour Fried Ginger Chicken, Veg Soup, Deep Fried Prawn Roll & Mix Veg Tou Fu.

After dinner, we went home for cake cutting. Aunty Lucy baked cupcakes and a bday cake for grandma. Quite cool - really represent the homemade cakes. hee hee

(more pics to share from Sis camera)

Noelle was here too.. Quickly captured some pics before she makes noise again..

Look at her Blur - Huh? face

30 May 09 KTV at Aunty's Hse

2009-05-31T21:18:00.004+08:00

Yesterday night I went to aunty's hse to stay - sing ktv.. She got a K box with many songs.. However that k box does not have original mtv and many songs are not original too..

Started singing at about 10pm and end near 1am..

Quite enjoyed the singing although we got to sing very softly in case we disturbed the neighbours.. haha.. then we spotted Ashki:

Think he is just too tired.. haha... thinking when r we going to end this.. lol...

Aunty's Birthday 23 May 09

2009-05-24T14:18:00.007+08:00

Yesterday was Aunty's bday and her daughter had already planned to go Shangri-La for buffet dinner (The Line) since Thursday. Invited both Ivan and myself. But Ivan would not be free - got to work liao..
When my uncle was here to fetch me, Shi Shi was not in the car. He mentioned that she would make her way there herself. Must be going to get some pressie for her mum ba..

Surprise 1: When we reached there, her daughter greeted her mum with a very beautiful bouquet of flowers.. Aunty was very happy at that moment.
Suprise 2: Complementary cake from The Line
This thick chocolate cake was fantastic. In the end I did not eat much cos I was fulled by this cake. haha must be their plot..
Thought that was the end? No no..
Surprise 3: Self-decorated cake by Shi Shi
She reached in the afternoon to decorate this strawberry short-cake.. Cool..
Thanks for expensive dinner! It was really great and cool. Got to eat those oysters, sashimi, pizza, sushi, satay, chinese cusine, indian cusine, pastries, ice-cream, crepes etc etc.. Got carried away by the food, so did not take pix of the food.. haha..
(To Sister April: Pls do not mentioned this at home (I know u read my blog).. cos this dinner was not known to many ppl. Thanks)

22 May, Friday Night @ Marina Square

2009-05-24T13:00:00.005+08:00

Today I'm free to blog cos Dear is not in.. Resume his work after exam and Friday was a day for us to enjoy before his working starts again.

I booked a pair of tics to watch Night at the Museum 2 at Marina Square. The show was selling fast at 12 noon already. Managed to get the 5th row seats. We headed to Asabu Sabo for dinner first. Ordered a unagi set dinner, he ordered this ramen and a baked mushrooms.
Part 1: The mushrooms incident
When the mushrooms were here, we were shocked about the handling of the mushrooms. There were a few bunch of small mushrooms that had the roots & soil on it. So, I called the waitress over and asked: "Are these the roots of the mushrooms or the soil?" Hmm.. seems like somebody felt ackward and she took the plate of mushrooms backed to the kitchen.

I was discussing with Dear that they definitely would just pull out those mushrooms and cut off the soil part. Definitely won't re-cook the dish for us. And Yes, they really did that. Returned the plate of mushrooms to us only with those soil & roots cut off. Hai~ but we were kind enough to accept the dish thou. Taste good if you don't think about the soil.. haha

Part 2: The Long Waited Unagi Set
Before my unagi set arrived, Dear had finished his dinner. Don't know what were they doing? Fishing for the unagi? I had to ask for my dinner set before they prepare? Hai~ Finally got mine and Dear was watching me eat. The couple sitting next to us whom arrived when my unagi reached my table thought that I was ill-treating my boyfriend. Let him watch me eat..

In the end we did not have our ice-cream dessert there. We went to the ice-cream counter and had our ice-cream take-away. Dear ordered a coffee wtih rum & rassin ice-cream. I got myself a milk tea with durian ice-cream. Anyway the ice-cream was quite disappointing.

Finally the movie - was very enjoyable. Glad that we enjoyed the show as it was really funny. (not better than the part 1 thou)

15 May 09 THE PINKIES

2009-05-16T22:06:00.003+08:00

It was a Pink Friday... Don't know why so many people were in pink today. Needless to say, my sister was in pink (same tone some more).. haha.. Then we have Sarah Loy also in pink but a lighter tone..

Wanted to take some pics after lunch for the pink threesome.. lol.. then Nellie (our Buyer) walked in to take her print out. Guess what? She was in pink too!

Grab her to take some pics with us.. ha ha.. all funny shots.. Hai~ the crazy people!!!

The Serious Working Ladies cum Green Tea Ambassadors

The Fun and Cuties...

8 May 09, Photoshoot for Crew Neck Tees @ MediaCorp

2009-05-16T20:37:00.005+08:00

Quite an enjoyable experience.. Bringing all 16 colleagues and their family members to MediaCorp for our Crew Neck Tee ad photoshoot.. hee hee.. Must admit it was hard coordinating their schedule and timing..

First to shoot - Our shop staff. They really enjoyed themselves..

After lunch was Jennifer's family turn.. Art Director cum Stylist Steve at work..
Photos turned out to be very nice... Quite a good experience..

Hmm.. That's what the working crew were doing during break time.. hee hee Gotcha! (they are also the models and standby models.. haha)

Took a pic with our model - Sarah Loy (chio.. doesn't look like the normal her)Too bad.. can't share on the final photos.. really nice but it's not right to share in the blog lah.. Anyway.. thank all for their help in this photoshoot.. :)

6 May 09 Team Building at HortPark

2009-05-16T19:56:00.007+08:00

Very busy these few weeks, no time to blog.. some back dated fun sharing..

6 May 09, no work for managers and executives as we were off to HortPark for a team building activity! Yeah! No work!

Reached there at 8.30am, got some breakfast and the "lesson" starts... Before we went off for some activities, we were given some time to roam around the park, to familiarise and also to enjoy the scenery. Got to admit, it is very refreshing and green place.. Got some time to take some pics with colleagues - Sarah, Tracy, Lynette & Cheryl... haha

The Chio-Bu-s

Some fun shots.. Haha... cool man!

Everything went fine... Just that there was a game that made us all stick together and sweat.... Eee... Still that was fun...

The very last game was "The Amazing Race". We are given 5 stations to go to and complete the questions and tasks.. All these would cover HortPark all the way to Mt Faber.. that was really cool but I did not get the chance to walk all the way passing all the different parks to Mt Faber. (cos we took cabby..). The fun part about it was we hijacked 1 mini bus and 1 car to send us down from Mt Faber.. lol. .cos we gt no cabs up there...

Last station we went was the start point HortPark and below pic was the Hort Mart, selling some plants and some snacks for the visitors.. quite a pleasant place to go..

Given a chance, think I will try the walk again so that I can experience the Canopy Walk (280m) at Kent Ridge Park.. Yeah right araheu? :p

2 May, Saturday

2009-05-02T23:52:00.007+08:00

Woke up at 12 noon. Had a quick breakfast with Dear b4 he left for work again. So busy..

Went home and rot for a while b4 meeting Cheryl to do an express mani and pedi.. We strolled around at AMK and spent a lot loh.. On toiletries and clothes.. But we couldn't try on shoes.. haha..

After that, we proceed to Bishan to have our dinner at Mac and we went to the OSIM fair. Had decided to buy the uZap & uZap mini bundle thou.. Good deal, $328 for a set (usual $408). Thanks Dear for sponsoring! Hee Hee..

While waiting for the sales assistant to process the payment and warranty, we were invited to wait at the.... Guess what we were doing?
Haha.. We were asked to wait at the uSqueeze area. Hmm.. always got the perception that this kind of thing is unhygienic as many people had tried on and some might have HK leg n germs.. Eee.. but nvm, jus try as I might not get the chance to try it. Cheryl was first and she gave out a yell and started giggling.. Haha.. was the vibrating effect that was tickling her legs.
Verdict: The uSqueeze is really cool. The messaging, vibrating and heat are great. But I cannot stand the heat as it jus gets too warm for comfort after some time. But you can choose to switch off the heat/vibrate mode thou. $738 per set.

Something caught our eyes.. This grab & win box.. haha.. then the girl said that I'm qualified to go for this grab & win. ($300 & above spending) Alamak! This is the first time I do this in public. Lucky there was not much crowd in the atrium. See my Ku Ku face..

Did not know the rules.. Actually I can grab as many as I can.. Stupid loh, I threw again those that duplicates. But I was told to take the scratch & win voucher... (Realise the crowd behind me watching my "performance"? Alamak~)

See.. trying to act cool.. haha.. The experience: There is no need for you to jump high and low.. The vouchers will come to you and somehow stick around ur hands or body.. jus grab it.. haha..

Thanks Cheryl for taking these pics.. Ha ha.. posing for my catch..

I got a total of 5 scratch & win vouchers. So I got to choose 5 scratch & win cards. All OSIM cash vouchers thou, worth a total of $30. Chey right? Thought I will get at least $200 worth of vouchers. Haha... There are other vouchers too - uTrek at $99, uSurf at $99, uPillow at $29.90 & a Mystery Gift (which is kit kat chocolate loh). Did not managed to get the 50% off uZap mini voucher.. But the girl is kind enough to offer a voucher to me.. and I got an extra uZap mini for my aunty.. Good deal.. just grab first. haha..

1 May - Labour Day

2009-05-02T23:43:00.002+08:00

Yes, 1 May Labour Day. It is also Dear's off day. Was anticipating his return in the morning, then realised that he was unable to return as no one could drive him out.

Puzzled? Why does this always happened to me? Finally, he got his vehicle at 1pm and made his way out. By then, I was having breakfast cum lunch with his sis. So he came to join us. He was so tired and hungry. Did not get to sleep and did not have any meal for the whole night.

Hai~ bad for his health.. after his chicken rice meal, we went to PartyWorld, but was disappointed as there was no room left. In the end, we went home and decided to go Msia for a dinner cum some shopping.

After some sleep, Dear drove us to Msia for dinner. Hmm, could not get his uncle. He would know how to drive around in JB. So in the end, we gave up. Had our dinner and made our way back to SG. However, Dear suggested to go KTV cos the night was still young.. Haha.. so we went Shenton Way to K till 2am. Was really tired by then..

Thanks Dear for compromising.. Knew that you were very tired...

Swine Flu is here...

2009-05-02T23:21:00.002+08:00

Hai~ Another crisis is here.. nw it involves life & death.. Swine flu, known as pig flu, but this virus spreads among humans, nt pigs..

Grandpa was in hospital and on Wednesday 29 Apr, SGH was already on action. At every block, they created a check station at the lift area. Every visitors have to go thru the check point in order to enter the lift. In this check station, they had set up the temperature sensor to ensure no one enters with a fever. Everyone was given a mask to wear for safety purpose and a sticker to acknowledge that this visitor had gone thru the check station.

Then on Thursday 30 Apr, I was informed that my grandpa had discharged from the hospital. So puzzled~ My grandpa's condition was unstable and his fever kept coming back. Called my grandma to verify. Then understand that the hospital is forcing all patients who are in correct state of mind or able to walk or those under observation back home..

My grandma told me that the hospital was in chaos. It was like a wet market and everyone is rushing here and there. My grandpa's room has 6 patients and 4 were asked to discharge. Families all arrived to pick their love ones home. This is a sign that there must be swine flu patients in there and SGH is preparing to empty the rooms for the coming patients and to prevent the virus from spreading to other patients. OMG!

By then, going in to the hospital was difficult. Only 2 person can visit a patient at one time. When visiting hours are over, no one is allowed to stay back to accompany the patients. Everyone's NRIC was taken down plus the time of visit.

Really got to be careful as the flu might be near us any time.

VivoCity on Friday after work

2009-04-25T23:02:00.003+08:00

Dear came to pick me up after work and I was very pai sei that I left on the dot. Before this, I booked a movie at 9.45pm at VivoCity - Handsome Suit. Should be quite a funny show I thought.
But I received news from home that grandpa was admitted to SGH again, cos his fever came back and he was a bit unconscious. So sorry, did not rush over. Cos I know that there is nothing I can do at SGH.

So, proceed to VivoCity. When we reached there, the sky is still bright. Have not decide what to eat and Dear recommended Dian Xiao Er 店小儿, so we just walked in. I really like the Dang Gui duck loh.. always so delicious.

Then this reminded me of 2 years back, when we went for a short break at Sentosa (Dear's birthday) and came out for dinner at Vivo, we also went Dian Xiao Er. Ordered almost the same dishes too. I remembered blogging a pic like below.. haha..

Similar dishes like the last time.. missed out one more prawn dish, cos it was served much later..

After dinner, we went for a short walk at Daiso.. then to PAGEONE (bookstore).. haha, i bought this Little Twin Stars notebook.. This is really cute and they have a lot of Sanrio things there.. but expensive loh.. This small notebook costs $10.49. But I just like it and Dear bought for me.. Thanks!

After the book store, we went to Pacific Coffee Company for some coffee and chat. Like this kind of style; relaxing, but the topics we were chatting were frustrating lah.. haha..

Then we went for the movie.. a bit late and we realised that we forgot to collect the tickets before that, and we were just outside GV loh. The movie was really funny loh.. really enjoyed it cos it just made us forgot about all other things and concentrate on laughing.. hee hee~

The night was still young (hmm.. at 12 midnight).. went to friend's place and chat till 4am loh.. Then we realised that we were hungry on our way home.. so went to McDonald's for breakfast! haha

So tired loh.. just bath n sleep le.. Until today 1pm then woke up.

Great Dinner

2009-04-21T22:16:00.002+08:00

Tonight I have got a great dinner with Dear's mother, sister and uncle. Too bad his dad was busy with his biz ingredients that he missed the dinner.
We went to the AMK crab place! Yeah! Had got craving before I extract my wisdom tooth. Was not feeling well today thou, but don't care. Not going to let go of the crabs!
Yes, we got the crab bee hoon soup - Yummy yummy.. and a chilli crab with Man Dou. Forgot to take a pic of the sumptuous dinner with kang kong, sweet & sour pork and fried wheat prawn. Was very full and really enjoy it although I'm sick. Haha..
I was slow in the eating.. pai sei, everyone waiting for me.. :p

Incredible Sofa

2009-04-21T22:06:00.004+08:00

My house sofa is from sister's house and we have been using it for the past one and a half years. What really amazed me was how did my sofa get so dirty? How did my family members sit on it to make it so incredibly "Clean". Haha :p

You can see from the picture below, the difference between the cleaned version (left side) and the dirty version (right side).. OMG..

Got something for Samuel since he likes Maple Story so much.. Did not see him for quite some time already, don't know if he is doing well. Hope he likes it. Thanks to Aunty Lucy sister (Ah Yi) for helping me to get these...

Dear is back!

2009-04-18T19:43:00.004+08:00

Finally, Dear is back from his biz trip. Have been suffering when he is not around.. No Choice!

He bought some 7D dried mangoes, the yummy yummy mangoes but expensive.. haha.. then he bought a Hershey's BIG kisses for me. Ha ha.. From the picture, you can imagine how big this is.. But I can't eat nw cos I'm sick. But anyway, I also dun noe how to eat this. This chocolate costs S$8.70. Thanks Dear!

Virus

2009-04-18T19:08:00.002+08:00

Hmm.. After all the suffering from my wisdom tooth.. and now, I am sick!

Think is the virus spreading around in my house.. first is Kleio, then Keith, then Shi Jie, then Jing Heng, then Jovial, then grandpa.. now, is ME! Wat the ****.

My body was weak then, and I drank a bubble tea (non-chill, must be full of germs) from douby ghuat MRT on Thursday evening. Woke up on Friday morning 4am and started vomitting. After vomitting, I felt much better, thought would be fine.. BUT, my stomach started aching. Then was the toilet experience.. Hai~ in the end.. on MC. Sian.. Why is everyone in my family sick? All the virus..

Until yesterday night, I could not eat anything. Would just throw out everything I ate. Feeling terrible, my neck felt restless and I felt giddy.

Today is much better. Vomit stops, no more diarrhoea but jus no appetite. Hope will get well soon.. Getting irritated by all the disease around me.. Can't go to see grandpa, cos I'm full of germs now..

Fake Toy Watch

2009-04-16T01:18:00.005+08:00

Haha.. Went for a walk at Bugis on Good Friday.. late evening..

Brought Dear to the watch shop that Cheryl and I visited and we both meowed on the same watch.

See! it looked so alike, except there is no logo and less crystals. The sales girl was trying to upsell and so I got a 10% off for 2 pieces. (one for Cheryl). Haha..

My wisdom tooth pain was under control then, so we walked over to Illuma and got a pair of tics for movie "Sniper". Cheap deal "$6 per tic" promotion.

The show was at 10.15pm. By then my pain killer has lost its effect and my gums are starting to ache. But still, I enjoyed the movie cos it has been some time I watched a movie with him.

Cute things to share

2009-04-16T01:03:00.006+08:00

Hmm.. I return to work today afternoon, much better. Still pain and can't walk in the hot sun cos will get headache easily..

Some cute photos to share of Noelle.. took it when she was here on last Friday (Good Friday).

Trying to call her to look at the camera and capture her smile.. But too bad, the camera girl was slow (which is me!).

Caught one photo, but she was not looking at the camera. Anyway, captured her dimple.. so cute.. and as for Jovial, it was obvious that he was jealous. Cos in the end, he gave Noelle a smack on her head.. Hai~

Painful Days

2009-04-14T19:50:00.005+08:00

These few days were bad... The pain from my gums are getting worse. The pain is affecting my ears and leading to headache. However, no signs of swell, infection or redness. The wound is fine.

Went to the dentist today to check. Conclusion is "dry socket", meaning that my bone area were hurt. So, the dentist was too rough during the extraction that she hurt my jaw and nerve. She said she could not do much as it is an internal injury. Bull shit!

In the end, she asked me to rest more and changed my medicine for me. Gave me MC till Thursday.. hai~ hopeless and suay~ Think I'm going back to work tomolo. Really frustrated by all these...

Dear goes oversea for work today. Hope he will come back on Friday...

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

2009-04-09T20:51:00.002+08:00

Today is a big day for me.. Went to extract 2 wisdom teeth.. praying hard that the extraction could be smooth, to avoid pain and swollen face..

However, things did not went smooth.. My bottom wisdom tooth needed drilling to cut into pieces to remove. Needless to say, the lady dentist (nv go for lady dentist), was so violent..

Got both the left top and bottom teeth extacted at last and I could already feel the pain even before the numbness subside. Now.. I'm withstanding my pain.. it is really very painful, can't even eat my porridge as it is just too painful...

Hope that tomorrow will be fine.. Hai~

Boring Saturday

2009-04-04T17:10:00.003+08:00

Today is a boring day.. Dear not around to accompany me even for the early afternoon. Only managed to have a breakfast with him. That's all. Last night same thing, only managed to have a dinner with him, then he went off again.

So bored that i roamed around at AMK central myself. Then, went to do my nails.. Did a classic one; to scrub my legs and hands.. cool.. at least pampered myself.

Going to see grandpa le. 2 days nv go visit him liao..

Dear's Birthday! 31 Mar

2009-04-04T14:51:00.010+08:00

Yes, I'm late in blogging my Dear's birthday...

On Tue, 31 Mar, I took AL to celebrate my Dear's birthday. Got to remind him a few times, in case he commits himself to work although is his off day. Anyway, I planned to go The Flyer since we had not been there to experience it. (how can Singaporeans not experience it?)

In the morning. we went VivoCity for breakfast (actually by then is noon time). Went to Kim Gary HK restaurant. Order a Korean noodle, but no appetite.. After breakfast we proceed to shopping for a while before going to Flyer.

As the timing is still early plus the hot sun, we decided to go Flyer at 6pm, also for the Sunset view. So we went Marina Square for a walk and some coffee break. Quite cool, cos I bought some bed sheets, a long pillow and some little things from Muji, spending $100+. Hmm.. can join their member thou..

And then.. The Flyer.. tickets were like $59.20 for 2 pax before 6pm. Then up we went.. seemed a bit ku ku, cos first time. The ticketing man thought that I was a Japanese.. past me a Japanese brochure.. haha..

The boarding is like checking into airport to take a flight.. so funny.. Oh, we got quite a spacious capsule, cos sharing with us were just 2 tourists and 1 escort.

Boarded into a capsule, The sea view

Busy!

2009-04-04T14:39:00.002+08:00

Has stopped blogging for a few weeks again.. Busy busy busy..

Got to visit grandpa in the hospital, got to go work..

Grandpa is under going some treatment in the hospital, so he will stay in there for the time being.. Sad for him as I can see that he wants to go home..

Cheryl knew that I was sad.. so sweet of her to buy me a little gift to cheer me up.. And yes, I need a new cup for my office, then she bought me a cute one.. haha.. Forever Friends cup!

Thanks pal.

Grandpa's health is bad...

2009-03-16T19:00:00.003+08:00

Feeling terrible these few days..

Grandpa got discharged from hospital on 9 Mar, but due to constipation, warded again on 12 Mar. Everyone was depressed.. could not concentrate on my work, so brought it back home to do.. was very sad and started crying.. He is suffering, I can say.. He knew that his health was bad, but he could do nothing.. When my grandma returned, she was pouring, pitied my grandpa and scared of losing him. My head was so pain that I could not sleep..

Took urgent leave as I really can't work.. Visit my grandpa and got bad news.. From the stomach doctor and nurse, they told us that the patch in my grandpa's lung is a cancer.. 4th stage.. Just can't accept it and started crying again.. The spine has a lump there too.. that is why it is affecting his movement. He will need to go for laser treatment to kill the lump on his spine, if not he will get paralyzed soon.

As for the lungs.. no direction now as all the reports are not out yet.. Will need to wait till 19 Mar for the big Doc to advise us on his conditions. (stupid.. gt to wait so long..)

The worse has yet to come and I really need to control my feelings and continue the hard path with my grandma..

Grandpa got discharged today.. reason being, he needs to wait for his 19 Mar appointment. The stupid doc and nurse told us that he needs to be discharged to close his case there so that his appointment date with the big Doc (not sure which department or specialist is this) will not be postponed. If he continues to stay in there, they will postpone his 19 Mar appt as they say that his case in this department is not closed to move to another department. What Nonsense is this?

SGH is SGH, they are posing their internal documentation and tranfer issues to patient. If patient is just too weak to be discharged, they will need to let him stay till 19 Mar and move him to the other department. What Nonsense! Terrible and unacceptable!

Woke up today, had a fever and my head was heavy. Could not get to work.. feeling weak..
When I go to the doc, I don't even want to tell him more.. he could see that I'm tired and restless.. so he continue his checking and found my throat swollen and a bit of flu.. (clever.. I didn't even tell him i got flu) Fever subside.

Hope will be fine to start my life again tomorrow.. Jia You!

Msia Trip 2-4 Mar 09..

2009-03-16T18:22:00.009+08:00

Have not been bloggin for the past 2 weeks & more.. Alot of things had happened.

Went to Msia between 2-4 Mar for work. The schedule was tight and alot of time was wasted in their traffic jam, so dumb. Didn't have time for shopping, even after working hours.. Hai yo, can imagine hw much time was wasted in the jam.

Look at the picture. Imagine we left the office at 5pm, and could only reach the hotel at 7.30pm. From the picture, it was 8pm, the jam was as bad. All the roads were packed with cars, till the extend of not moving at all at certain traffic junctions.

Only managed to go Pavilion on 3rd Mar for dinner.. so walk over from our hotel, Berjaya Times Square. By the time we finished our dinner, the shops are closing.. so no time for shopping.. Hai~ want to go KL again.. jus for shopping...

Hectic Week

2009-03-01T12:15:00.003+08:00

This week is really very tiring. Grandma got injured on her ribs, grandpa got hospitalised.. Work is busy and I'm going Msia on Monday (tomorrow).. etc..

Results of scanning showed that grandpa got a patch in his lungs.. The doc sent him for a detailed scan at his lungs today and wanted him to discharged and wait for the appointment for lung specialist department. Siao.. he is so weak to even walk and control his muscles.. When he is sitting up right to have his meal, he even fall back without knowing, jus can't control himself..

Sianz... dun know what will happen to him.. See if tonight can spare time to visit him, cos i'm preparing for my Msia trip.. Tired!!! Till now haven change my ringgit yet.. so last min.. haha

Can't imagine grandma is so busy till can't go to take her x-ray report.. Everyday got to cook lunch and dinner for my grandpa. Still feeling pain on her ribs, but just dun have the time to go to the doc to hear her x-ray results. Pity her..

What is going on? This is a bad year.. :(

2009-02-22T15:35:00.003+08:00

Yesterday was really a shopping day for me.. Went to Jurong Point to see the new wing.. was really big.

Bad Day for Grandpa

2009-02-19T22:31:00.002+08:00

Grandpa got admitted into hospital yesterday due to the experience of heart pain, giddiness, cold sweat and overall weakness. Hai~ :(

Got a scanning and blood test for him, but no discovery and answer from doc. He waited for 8 hours in the hospital for result, and got discharged at 2am, with no findings. Damn the hospital..

Tink will need to send him for a detailed scan. Pray hard he will be alright..

My Birthday for 2008

2009-02-14T14:57:00.006+08:00

Back track a little to Yr 08.

Thought that my birthday would be normal and plain as my family usually did not celebrate my birthday for me.. But last year was different, they organised a weekend gathering at my Gu Gu Mami's house.
Thought that it is just a normal gathering.. but in the end, they brought out a cake for me.. haha.. so touched and happy... (& pai sei)

The dinner was sumptuous too.. every time go Gu Gu hse, surely got nice things to eat..

See this nice and sweet looking cake.. From Sister.. Thanks Sis!

Thank you all!

My pressie.. This year, I got 2 Precious Moments Figurines from Cheryl and Dear..

TinkerBell ("Always reach for the stars) from Cheryl and Cinderalla & Prince (Your love is a perfect fit) from Dear.. so sweet..

Thanks Cheryl & Dear..

Valentine's Day

2009-02-14T14:20:00.000+08:00

Today is Valentine's Day and I am free to blog.. meaning.. No Date. Upset :(

Dear is busy, so no time for me today. Actually he planned to go out yesterday, but in the end he needs to do his project.

But still, I met him at 11pm yesterday for movie at Marina Square. So after my work, I went for an express manni and pedi session at amk with Cheryl and then went back to Marina Square to meet him.

So we watched Brides War. Quite a funny and lovely show thou..

Prepared a gift for him, Solvil Titus watch... when he saw the watch, he felt guilty that he did not prepare anything for me.. Quite sad for me. (He is more practical, he wants me to choose my own pressie... so no surprise) Anyway, Valentine's Day to him can be any other day, no need to be on the 14 Feb.

Seems like he did not really like the watch so much, cos he never say or express himself much.. (cos he does not have the habit of wearing a watch, but if I buy, then he gt to wear) haha..

(To Dear: It's good you know, look more presentable...)

Anyway Dear, Happy Valentine's Day...

Hong Kong Trip 12-16 Jul 08

2009-02-08T23:46:00.000+08:00

Yes! Another trip to HK and this time round is Free & Easy... Gu Gu Mami and Daddy joined us for this trip.. and we have made known that it will be a full shopping trip.. No Disneyland, No Ocean Park.. but maybe The Peak (cos I have not been there).. hee hee

The itinerary was planned by me, Ranis!

On the first day, 12 Jul, after checking in the hotel, we went to The Langham Place shopping mall. Quite a good place to shop, but this is not the place for cheap buys.. They have got the longest escalator here.. and look, I can taking a picture from the height..

The HK drama "天幕下的恋人" got a scene here too.. haha :D

This is quite a big mall, has got about 8 storeys.. Got a picture with Mario!

After this mall, we went to the street shopping (女人街) and had our dinner there..

Day 2:

On the second day, we went to the Causeway Bay for some shopping.. Gu Gu Mami is looking for a LV bag, so I had planned to bring her to 3 LV shops to browse..

This was interesting.. whole day at Causeway Bay, walking around. Times Square, SOGO etc. Bought my Fossil watch.. really liked it alot. Then we went for the food tasting at SOGO supermarket.. it is just like what Japan will do.. got a good time sampling there.. haha.. Was really a enjoying trip. Everyday was food and shopping, till we do not have space for supper every night.. and the snacks we packed back to hotel were always wasted.

Day 3:

Lunch was cool.. This "过桥面线" is really delicious.. they have different grades of spiciness and the different veg for you to choose. Really like this. The noodle is the QQ kind.. Will definitely want go back there if there is a next trip.

This shop is located behind Tsim Sha Tsui.

The shopping freaks (actually only me and aunt) to Tsim Sha Tsui .. haha..!

Went to the LV store.. But Aunt could not get what she wanted. Took a picture.. yeah..

But in the end, I bought a Agnes b bag from the opposite street.. haha... a pampering gift for myself.. ($300+) Ha!

Was walking around and could not find Esprit outlet, so past by "星光大道". This is the place where the golden horse award will be organised annually.. so we were at a place where Jay Chou, Tony Leung, etc had been to..

See.. that was my award.. "The Shopping Queen Award" largest size.. larger than any Stars had got.

Finally.. Aunt got her LV bag... Mission completed for her.. so cool.. was a gift from the husband.

Day 3:

To Macau

Dear was meeting his friends at Macau, so we would all be going there for a day trip.. first time to Macau. The destination was Venetian (largest casino place)

When we reached there (via ferry), we had to take a free coach bus. During the short journey, I captured a few shots. (but only share this one - Church)

Look at the church up on the hill.. so cool and romantic right..

At Venetian, there were a lot of shops to conquer too.. Of course we did not missed the casino.. (we won a little.. haha. Just to get the luck) Look at this.. interesting.. A ride with Portuguese man singing while bringing you around in the boat. I really like this.. The sky is fake.. so if you are in there, you will not know that it is night time.. The whole setup is romantic, cool and cosy... really like the atmosphere..
I bought something here.. haha.. pai sei to share.. is a lingerie set (with your partner's piece too)

cool right?

So.. Day 4 & 5 was still about shopping... In the end, we do not have the time to go The Peak.. what a waste again...

Some sharing of my shopping results... haha.. real shiok and contented..

Like this pen, bought from Disney shop at the airport.. so sweet...

November 2, 2008 is the day.. the arrival of my niece... Noelle Liao

Xiao Qi'a wedding.. Jul 08

2009-02-08T23:07:00.000+08:00

It is the big day for my polymate, Xiao Qi and we are invited to be her Jie Mei on this special day.. Of course, not be missed is the morning game...

Thanks to grandma, helping me to do the Mua Ji.. looks delicious, but everyone one of them has a task to be fulfilled. So don't tink that it is so easy to get a girl's hand...

It is not easy for me too.. got to wake up at 5am, reach there at 6.30am..

At Xiao Qi's house..

See! The power sisters!! So what if they got a big gang of brothers here...

After the games, (not going to elaborate much), we went for some outdoor shoots.. Then, we proceed to the groom's house..

The day was hot.. Some outdoors shoots to share.. (see, pretending to catch & snatch the bouquet)

This was what Xiao Qi did for every sisters to wear.. so sweet right..?

Xiao Qi's new bedroom....

Dinner...
The dinner was held at Orchard (oh shit, i forgot the hotel's name) hee hee..

I did the tying of the rings.. so sweet right?

This is really a blessing.. a ring that holds the couple together.. and their commitments...

The poly friends coming together to support her and give her the blessings..

Credits to Siling (our Singer), singing the march-in song "My Love My Valentine" (not sure if the title is right)

She did her solemnization in the dinner. So touching...

Cheerios to the newlywed!

The wedding of Brods, the younger brother Jun 08

2009-02-08T22:50:00.000+08:00

Yar, they are my uncles (my grandma's brother's sons).. cos due to some generation difference, but they are not old by the way. The wedding dinner was held at Shangri-La hotel; Grand and Beautiful ballroom. He has got a beautiful bride, hmm.. suits him.

Glad that my great-grandma is able to live to see her grandson getting married. Just a pity that she past away in Oct 08.

Shit.. I think i lost the table photo with the bride and groom.. Only left one with the elder brother.. Hai~

Seems like I need to take more photos in order to blog..

2009-02-08T22:48:00.000+08:00

Now that I want to start blogging, I found out that I do not have much photos.. Stupid me.. Should make more effort to take photos next time..

Cute Little Boy growing up..

2009-02-08T22:34:00.001+08:00

Guilty that I did not blog for the past one and a half years. Maybe I should just start off with updating Jovial's growing up pics...

From the baby looking Jovial.. (but somehow, he has the mature face)

And now, a handsome little boy. Not to be misled by my words, he is just 1 year 8 months only.

See.. he knows how to avoid looking at the camera. Cheeky boy, just refuse to take a proper pic.

Crabby Dinner, 1 Apr 07

2009-02-08T15:56:00.000+08:00

Hmm... Jonathan's dad know the owner of the AMK well-known crab seller, so we decide to have our dinner there. Felt privileged as there is no need for us to wait, where others are still queuing.
A few of us.. Jo, Alex, Boa Hua, Pin Xiu, Dear & myself. We order the bee hoon soup crab, chilli crab & black pepper crab, plus other side dishes. After that, we even take away 2 crabs. But to our surprise, the uncle jus charged us at $200. We estimate it to b abt $300+. Thanks to Jo for this dinner.

After that, we went to the Bishan Park bar. There you are, the birthday cake, for Dear, Boa Hua & Pin Xiu. The March's Babies...

Have a gd time chatting and fooling around... Take this as a small gathering...
Happy Birthday to All!

Dear's Birthday Celebration @ Sentosa 30-31 Mar 07

2009-02-08T15:24:00.000+08:00

I'm on leave on 30 Mar, & made my way to Sentosa wif Dear. It's been a long time since we went Sentosa. A lot of things had changed. Even the new train had been built. First, we went to HarbouFront Centre for our McDonald's breakfast. Then we went Vivo City for a walk, cos cant check in to our hotel so early. By the way, we bought a GV ticket to watch 'Shooter' @ 11.45 pm. (Think this a really a mistake.)

We went to the Sentosa train station. It was rather standard, but the train was small. Only 2 cabins.

When we alight at Beach station, we head straight to Siloso Beach Resort (new). Funny thing was, the reception is at 7th floor and at the other wing, where we need to cross some bridges. Was something special.

Then we check in to our room. It was very nice and we can see Cafe Del Mar right opposite us. (although is at 3rd floor) Was really excited. But suddenly, there was a downpour. Wat a shame.. we had intended to go for the Sky ride & Luge, but was raining. So we stay indoor to take some pics.

see this pic.. able to see Cafe Del Mar behind me? haha.....

The rain seems smaller.. so we went out.. first place - Fish Reflexology @ UnderWater World. but pls, dun buy tics to underwater world, it is a separate place. it's nt inside

We start off with cleaning our feet. Then was the fish bites. (this is to remove out leg's dead skin.) The feeling was ticklish and i had a gd time laughing thou the place was so peaceful. It seems that my legs have more dead skin, the fishes r coming to me even thou Dear's legs are beside mine. (ok, these r the bigger fish, there is a pool with smaller fishes)

After the fish bite, we went to clean our legs again. This time, it's the ShiFu part to help us to do leg massage. They r realli gd, my legs feel relaxed after tat, but the process was painful at certain parts.

After this, we went for the Sky ride & Luge. Anyway, this idea (Sky Ride) was my final yr project in SP. We did tell the staff at Sentosa this idea as we hope they could furnish us with some details & information to aid in our project. However, our idea was a means of transport & entertainment at the entrance of Sentosa. This was a entertainment ride from the beach to the Sky Tower (carlsberg tower). Anyway, it is a gd experience to sit on the both rides. We had a great time. The great height, dangling of ur legs (careful of slippers) then no security lock to ensure tat u dun jump down. haha...

We sat the Sky Ride up and took the luge down again. Was fun... it cost abt $9 if i'm nt wrong.
Then we walk around the place, then walk into the forest trail (where the dragons lies).. haha.. its like hiking loh.. After tat, it was late, we went back to Hotel with some drinks & tibits.

After a bath, we head to Vivo for dinner... Look at this, such a wonderful dinner for Dear.. (Lao Di Fang) look at the roasted herbal duck.. that was the most delicious dish, anyway they r known for it. Should really try.

We waited quite long for the movie & all the shops had closed. Time past quite slowly at this hr as we hav nothin to do, nt like during the day. haha.. we went to Pacific Company Cafe for some drinks and waited there... The "Shooter" was quite a gd show, impress by the character's sharp shooter skill.
After the show, we try to get a cab to drive us in to Sentosa, many cabs rejected thou, but we manage to get one. We stopped by the beach & walked back. Cafe Del Mar was happening by then, but we were too tired to go in to join the fun. So head back to sleep.

Morning breakfast at the rooftop, a veri nice breakfast cos of the view. But the food was simple.

After breakfast, we went back to rest, then check out at 12pm.. This is really enjoyable and relaxing for the both of us..

Happy Birthday Dear!

Another Msia Pengerang Trip 10-12 Dec 06

2009-02-08T14:15:00.000+08:00

Hmm... haha... Another Pengerang trip for us... Gd time for resting n eating

10 Dec 06:
On the first day(onli me & Dear), we reached there abt 5pm. Then gt our rm at Tai Hoe Hotel (smelly, but the best over there) & went straight to buy some DVDs (pirated). Shops close very early over there (abt 6pm), so better get wat we wan before the night comes. (b.t.w, there is no nite life there...)

Then we arrived at the seafood restaurant again.. two big hungry mouths we had.. that's y onli managed to capture the finished food. Hee.... :P (able to see the lobster there?)

The owner recognised Dear, so we got a Free Meal! Haha!!! a bit pai sei, cos we really eat alot.

11Dec 06:
Today, we had his aunty, uncle, Samuel, Lionel & his sis (Yun Hui) joining us.. They had planned a day tour for us.. To Desaru Fruits & Animal Farm, Desaru beach, Ostrich Farm then seafood again.

At the Fruits Farm:

We we gt a chance to c the varies fruits; brazil longans (dun noe y in M'sia?), pineapple, ChiKu, Rose Apple, bananas, mango, honey oranges, & alot more...

Also inside the farm, there is a mini zoo.. Look at the little goat (4 days old onli..), on Dear's hands .. B careful ar, they need TLC... seems like u r exposing his unglam part...

Then we saw the fishes.. real gd view for the day.. more than 1000 fishes snatching for food.... The kids had a great time feeding them.. including my Dear..
Hmmp!... for the adults, like Myself, we had a small break here, drinking the pure fruit juice freshly made from this farm.. very cooling of course..

Follow up next is the Desaru Beach... capture some nice photos.. the big waves r realli for water surfing.. hmm... a materpiece from Me!!! Dear & Samuel.. Waiting for Who?...

We went to another beach.. a place for more photo shooting.. but i gt veri little pics.. all r Dear's...

What's r u doing out there in the middle of the sea???Then as usual, we went to the Ostrich farm.. a chance the for kids to have a close up with ostrich.. they managed to get a ride on ostrich (Tom) too..

It's dinner time after a tiring, fun & hot day! We had our dinner at a seafood restaurant.. this time, is very expensive.. but see the lobsters.. realli going to gain weight after this small trip..

12Dec 06:

Today, everything was simple.. we had our breakfast, some rest, go hair salon for a hair wash, then took our cab back to the ferry.. On the way, the cabbie brought us to some families farm to puchase fresh mangoes.. (Unripe by the way...) haha... then it's the journey hm...

A Small Rest in Malaysia Pengerang, Nov 06

2009-02-08T14:03:00.000+08:00

It's just a very short vacation for us... Just one night there...

The only thing to recommend is the seafood... Anyway his relatives were there (not close thou, seafood restaurant owner).

With Sylvia (her cousin) & who? Then.. a visit to Ostrich farm.. Guess wat, we bought an Ostrich Egg (empty by the way) tabletop light. Look at how close we are with the ostrich.

A science lesson.. one ostrich egg is equals to 25 chicken eggs. Got it?

Conclusion: a nice place for weekend getaway due to the good food. But, the hotel sucks, smelly..

Hong Kong Trip in Feb 2006

2009-02-08T13:31:00.000+08:00

Quite excited for the both of us, first time to Hong Kong.... Yeah!

It's really fun there...Too bad, the group is too big, we wasted quite a fair bit of time waiting....

There was really no time for shopping this round (except Esprit factory outlet), anyway it is winter time, so not much clothes for us.

I must allocate time for shopping if there is a chance for a next HK trip...

Visiting Disneyland and Ocean Park is a must for the first timers like us..

Was quite happy to reach the disneyland, feel like entering the wonderland. It is a pity thou as the weather was not beautiful. It started to drizzle, then rain, then drizzle from afternoon till night, even till the fireworks.

The first station was the Tarzen boat, visit the Tarzan house.

Then we went to watch the different shows.. The best part is the Disney merchandise.. Cool, bought quite a fair bit of things.. Pens, keychains, raincoat, mugs etc..

Anyway, got the chance to see the parade and gt a pic of my favourite princess... Cinderalla!

The parade was cool.. bringing out all the different characters..

Cute Mickey with us! Quite tough to get all these pics taken.. it was so crowded & the queue for photoshoot with these characters were real long.. see.. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are not inside.
Of course there are other characters that we took photo with..

In HK, what is a must for the both of us? Sao Bin and Xu Lui San.... haha... real siok... Gain weight after our trip.... hee :p
