My Sweet 30!

okieeee.. maybe sweet is not the word to describe a 30th birthday but i really had the sweetest and enjoyable day! all thanks to my dearest BFFs and my dear frens!

im hvg off day on my bdae so as to avoid the "irritants" @ my workplace and just right serene is on leave as well.. so she booked mani & pedi for the both of us at snails @ wheelock place.. we did our nails, discussed whr to go for coffee later, and whr to shop.. we bot 3 pairs of shoes each.. aiseh feel so tai tai.. *dear dear can i be a tai tai soon?!*

and the dinner was @ Indulgez and not the steamboat place that serene has led me to believe in.. with all my dear frens waiting in the restaurant! the moment we stepped in the waiter was like holding the ice cream cake and smiling.. it was really a SURPRISE!

and my 1st cake! my BFFs actually bot a cake when we had BBQ @ serene's boy's place on a sat.. it was a strawberry ice cream cake (yes! ice cream again.. i love it!) with 30 freaking candles on it.. i wonder how they managed to get the cake shop to give them all those candles..

and of cos my bdae cake from my dear.. he cant really celebrate with me as he's being isolated (poor thg!).. and yup the number 30 stands out once again!

and the cake from my family! noticed the smashed up side of the lovely cake? it was the art of my dear bro-in-law when he jam-braked while delivering the cake.. haha and of cos he got an earful from my sister..

Thanks to all my frens for their bdae wishes and pressies! Love ya!

Happy Hair Cutting (???)

Well it's considered an happy event lar.. the last time i cut my hair short was like more than 10 years ago lor.. hav been contemplating whether to cut or not cos there are like 1001 advices from frens and all.. so after seeing sel sel cut her hair with nice effect and PG was saying u will neva know unless u cut.. i chopped off my long hair!!! im glad i made the decision.. i dun look so haggard and draggy (esp in photos if u know wat i mean).. feel much refreshed!

so here's my new look!

me & my inspirers: sel sel & PG!

Specially for my dear BFF..

initially wanna continue my blog on BKK today..  but after reading my two dearies frens blog, 突然有了心痛的感觉..  cant really concentrate on the BKK post cos that was an super duper happy event but i cant seem to enact that feeling at this moment.. 

只想让你知道那心痛的感觉我了解。。 也经历过。。

在这时候我没办法对你说你ok的。。 因为现在一定很难受。。

可是在你放开的过程，我们都在你身边。。

记得不许一个人承受。。 

there's always we BFF arnd!

just like one BFF wrote..  there hav been too many sad stories arnd us..  uncertainties and insecurities arise in my heart as i see sad stories unfold one following by another..  how many times must a person be hurt before one can find true love?  guess we hav to stay positive but remain  cautious thou by right love shd be sweet and simple..  contradicting ya but that's how it works..  we do not want to end up hurting ourselves again..  

anyway this post is for my 3 BFF!  im so glad to hav u gals as BFF cos we hav been thru happy, sad, upset, crazy moments tog..  im sure we will be arnd for one another at all times no matter wat..  so S: we will do anythg for u to make u feel better so just let us know..  yup and dat includes wat PG has said; be it scratch his car or kick his butt.. i can get my koda to poo poo outside his hse too..   *evil grin*

My Happy Bdae Celebration!

had a super fun and memorable bdae dis year..  all these are made possible by my dearest frens and my lovable dear!  my bdae celebration lasted for 5 days haha..  i totally enjoyed myself over the 5 days!  thanks to all my frens for being so sweet and sporting..  SPECIAL THANKS to PG for her hard work in coordinating all these..  i know it's not easy and it surely takes effort to make the party an enjoyable one!  really very touched..  *sniff sniff*

Amara Sanctuary Villa (21 ~ 22 Jun 08)

my sweet frens planned an all gals nite stay @ Amara Sanctuary Villa..  PG told me it's for Yvon's bdae but i kinda expected it's our combined celebration..  but there are surprises!  din expect to see my two fun sistas and Appu there!  The villa is nice cosy place though a bit small.. but it's really beautiful with a private pool..  Appu tinks it's kinda kinky though cos the shower and bathtub area is all open and the doors of the toilets are transparent..  luckily all gals haha..

 

had fun munching the hills n mountains of food and playing water bombs and relaxing in the pool (technically i was being thrown in lor...) at the end of the nite only PG, Sel and myself stayed overnite..  we chit chat till quite late and the bed was so damn comfortable dat me n Sel din wake up when PG told us in the middle of the nite dat it's raining..  in the end the poor gal got to shift in our clothes away from the rain all by herself..  Opps..

the next morning it was still raining so cannot hav a dip in the pool lar..  we went for our complimentary breakfast for 2 and were all prepared to pay for the 3rd pax..  but they din charge it to the room leh (dunno if it's intentional or unintentional) how nice of them! hiak hiak..

after checking out of the villa we went to the foot reflexology center @ underwater world to try out the fish reflexology..  PG has done it b4 n i told her that i wanna try out leh..  at the moment of dipping my feet into the pool with the fishes swimming arnd, i seriously sincerely salute PG for being such a great pal to accompany us to do it even when she has tried it b4 cos it's really quite torturing!!!  so sorry to drag sel into dis wahaha..  it lasted for 20 mins but it feels like 2 hrs to me..  the moment the feet are in the fishes will dashed towards us and start to nibble..  guess it's still early n they r hungry??!!  we were giggling and squirming thruout lor.. 

 

had real fun with the bunch of dearest gals and thanx for the pressies..  my heartfelt THANKS! =)

Celebration with Dear (23 ~ 24 Jun 08)

me n dear took leave on 23 & 24 Jun and spent two whole days tog..  rare chance cos it's quite hard for dear to take ad hoc leave..  it was a relaxed day of eating!  we went to Bark Cafe to hav lunch and went to the changi museum and chapel to look at the history of WWII..  quite depressing to see the stories and facts of the war..  we actually wanted to sit in the DHL hot air balloon but it was closed for maintenance..  sad..

asked wong to help to book the bbq pit at their new plc so that we can hav my fav bbq food @ nite..  yummy!  we went to the wholesale bbq store @ frankurt to buy food and bring over to la casa..  had a small bbq session with coral & wong  =)

Birthday Dinner (25 Jun 08)

dear is not able to accompany me due to work commitment so dearest PG suggested to hav steamboat dinner with my bunch of nicest frens  =)  

went to The Chinese Feast @ Suntec and had a great time laughing thruout the dinner and caused dajie to hav hiccups and we got the blame (??)..  though the guys dun really know wat we are laughing at..  it's a gal thing ya..  haha.. 

Thanks to my dear frens for accompanying on my bdae and we really spent the best moments tog..  i really had a great time for my bdae!  Love ya!!!  ;)

4 sms.. 2 calls.. endless thots..

dat's the no of times dear called and sms me during his trip.. even the call was made in a rush and he sounded really tired.. cant wait for him to come back.. 4 more days to go! really really miss dear a lot..

to make my dear's absence more bearable, i tried to make myself busy.. i finally bot a shelf to contain my barang barang.. went shopping @ ikea with my sis gang and bot this shelf with 25 compartments.. wow can really place a lot of stuff in.. but it's really hard work to clear all the stuff from my old cupboard and re-arrange them in the new shelf.. found a lot of unwanted stuff as well so i finally throw them out but spent some time to look thru them.. brought back sm memories but in a way i felt that i hav de-cluttered my life.. spent 2 days b4 everythg was finally done but at least my stuff are all nicely packed and easily retrieved now.. so satisfied with myself haha..

went to disney on ice on 15 Mar 08 (sat).. neva been to any b4 and the main purpose is to bring ja there to see the disney characters.. we were excited when we rch kallang indoor stadium.. we bot pop corn and candy floss with disney characters printed on them.. we put on a 101 dalmatian cap for ja and he suddenly imitate doggie barking sound.. whenever we took his photo he will do dat mimic.. he's so funny..

when the show started ja got very serious and watched the performance so intently.. we were trying to tell him the characters' names and he managed to catch some wh is more familiar to him.. there's "lion king", "little mermaid", "peter pan" and "lilo & stitch".. his fav character is tinkerbell whom he called as "ah bell" cos he din catch the long pronounciation.. i kept making fun of him dat he's so chummy with her ah and kena beat by him *ouch*

on good fri eve, went to a gathering with a gang of nice frens whom i met during my current job.. some had left and some still suffering tog but im so glad dat we can still had such fun gathering.. went to Genki @ Forum and den proceed to emarald hill.. originally planned to chill out at ice cold beer as recommended by PG.. i even had a dream the day b4 ok after hearing how nice the plc is but it was so crowded we din managed to get a seat there! damn.. we ended up at alley bar and we had fun there, hvg all flavours of 1-1 martini and coral ordered 10 shots at 20 bucks.. cheap right.. played some stupid games there but dis is how we always ended up at drinking session cos everybody was high and start doing stupid thgs haha..

well.. of cos other than all these fun stuff, i did encounter upset and frustrating incidents too.. grumbled to some of my kind frens and felt beta.. still miss my dear cos i wanna share all my happy and sad stuff with him.. he's coming back soon!!!

Celebrations.. Genting trip.. & more! =)

other than the usual three couples, another couple frens of the guys joined us as well so there were 8 of us.. we had a fun time cooking the bbq food with all the funny actions from the guys.. drinking bottles of wine.. just chill out and chit chat till quite late at nite.. so relaxing.. cant wait for cora's new plc to be ready so we can chill out every wkend..

20 December 07

had my 2nd xmas dinner at cora's plc.. it's a potluck party so we brought sushi over.. there's so much food cos everybody brought for more than 20 pax share and there were so much leftovers..

we played quite a no. of games and drank liquor & wine as punishment.. happy to see so many close frens tog at the same time but it's really hard to have a good chat with each & every one of them.. well guess we can meet up with the individual groups again to spend quality time tog ;)

will be mtg cora & a few others on xmas eve nite again.. ohh.. which is today! =P

21 - 23 December 07

just came back from our genting trip tog with dajie & her boy.. hmm din post any photos cos most of the time were spent in the casino haha.. but lost $$ lar.. anyway me & dear just treat it as a form of entertainment expenses cos we had quite a fun time sitting there, playing and analysing the jackpot machines tog haha.. it's a wonder time passes so fast while playing jackpot.. can just spend hours there without realising it..

okie got to disclaim that we are not addicts cos we did go to the theme park but it rained after our 2 rides so our next thots was to proceed to the casino again & "nua" there.. haha.. blame it on the weather!

we did some shopping on our last day while waiting for our coach to arrive.. i bot a pair of boots at only $93.50 ringit.. wondering when's the right occasion to wear my new boots!

Wishing Everybody a Joyful X'mas!

Have a Great Celebration!
