MAKEOVER

Went for a makeover @ The Makeover Inc. this afternoon. A birthday privilege from Metro. Brought my baby along of course. I was so tickled by the photographer and keep laughing and that ruined most of my solo pictures. However those pics taken with my baby turned out quite well. Will post the pics when I collect them end of the year! We chose 3 different pose and had to pay extra for that... not free afterall! : )

SURPRISE 2... MY 1ST DIGI CAM

My second suprise in the week, a pink sony T70 cybershot which I have been saying I wanna buy. And of course the surprise was from Keith... Oops... I think I have just burn a big hole in his pocket!

SURPRISE 1

On Thursday, Keith was off and he made a trip to my office after I complained about my injuries from my fall in the morning. He came in to my office carrying this bag and this is the reason he came not because I "sa jiao"... kekeke. Inside the bag was this necklace which I pointed to him from the Swarovski catalog many days back. : )

Thank you darling! I like it very much!

PRINCESS ASHLEY

Oh... look at how much this 小辣椒 has grown from the first time I wrote about her in June.

After dinner, darling boiled me bird nest... yummy yummy!

FROM MY DARLING...

德德。。。

嗨嗨。。。还记得我吗？我就是我德德喽！
我长大了，
看。。。我能坐在沙发上了。
这是我的“跑车”， 坐了就能跑的车！

我还会自己捧奶瓶喝 milk milk，厉害吧？

你会不会觉得我越来越可爱？

IS IT HIM?

Did not expect this when I signed up for the CFP course… my aim was to learn some knowledge which I can apply at work and it turn out, yes… the course increased my financial planning knowledge and also I met someone, MAYBE he is the one I have been waiting for. Our fate started on 4 Sep from a calculator question… and don’t know since which day, we have been sitting next to each other in class. Things were just normal until we started to communicate furiously through MSN and SMS. My poor phone bill this month….! Hmm… as I have always said, my ideal partner has to be tall, skinny, fair, wear specs, mature, knowledgeable, humorous, loving… (alamak! my criteria not so simple after all, kekeke…)! So does he fit my criteria??? Let me see, he is not so tall (oops! but taller than me la), fair (oops!), wear specs (aiyo…he got perfect eyesight) BUT he is mature, knowledgeable, humorous, loving & maybe able to tolerate my nonsense! We have endless conversation and we can share views & be open about anything! He thinks before he acts. More importantly, he can make me laugh! Our first date… drinks at ECP and a chat that lasted till 4.30AM by the beach after class! Oh… I must mention something he gave me a white shawl, so coincidental that cause the classroom was really cold that day. He has planned to give me the shawl but still I find him so sweet as the shawl came just in time. Our subsequent dates were spent doing revision & preparing for exam…. boring hor? Our next few dates…? Maybe will be taking up the job of an expensive Singaporean maid cause he will be moving in into his new house soon and there will be a lot of cleaning n unpacking. I shall think of my compensation package… He seems so hopeful about our future and includs me in his daily life, he seem so much more anxious about this relationship than me! I should be happy but at the same time I am also worried that this is just short-lived thingy! I hope my search can stop here and he is the one that I have been waiting for! Well…. he came into my life just b4 my 33rd birthday… what a close shave! So keeping fingers, toes & eyes crossed (hahahaaaa)… The course has ended but our journey has just began!

EXAM COMING...

in the midst of preparing my CFP M1 exam... stress!!! hv not taken exams for years so my brain seems nt to function very well... can't seem to retain anything! but i know once i commit this exam in HIS hands... a miracle will happen!

a serious earthquake hit sumatra last evening about 7.10pm... i was engrossed in my work... when i looked up to read from my PC, i felt i was shaking... i tot i was having dizzy spells. so i went back to my desk and told my friend who was chatting online with me just mins ago. i could not even stand properly. then i heard some noises like some things hitting against each other. so i scan the office... guess wat i saw? the blinds in my boss room was swaying lightly, tt sight frightens me! then i saw the glass doors trembling. i was thinking cant be moving air tt causes this coz the central aircon was shut down 30mins ago. i also saw the gong swinging like someone has touched it. felt like the building is gonna collapsed. i sat there with a blank mind for a few mins before i called my Daddy n Mummy. Kind of confirm those were earthquake tremours then. Quickly shut down the PCs & grab the things i think would need in case soemething serious happen & we r nt allowed to get into the office! i was still feeling shaky after i got out of office builing. in fact... the things i went through in the office stays tru' the whole evening in my mind. an experience thou.... but felt sad for the pple who hv to endure the quakes yesterday & today... hopefully no more!

SAD JULY... MY DEAR FRIEND CAROL

10 years... it is a long time to grieve for lost of a dear friend. I will never forget the accident that took place in July 1997 at the pedestrian crossing outside emerald hill. The accident that took my dear friend's life on her first day of work and she was only 24 then! sob... sob... sob...

Yingzhen... how is life in heaven? I wanna tell you we still remember you and we still talk about you during our gathering. When I look at the photos we took in our poly days, my eyes will still tear. You are still that sweet gal with almost no temper. Remember the happy times the 5 of us spent in SP, working on assignments and projects into the wee hours and hours just before the deadline? Remember we used to take turns to squeeze into each other's house to complete our projects? Remember how much food and laughter we need in order for our brains to work? Remesmber our chalet outing in Sentosa? Remember how I used to tease you about ATM machines dispensing coins?

If the accident did not take your life, you would probably be happily married with a child or two like Siew Siew, Lay Chin and Peck Hoon. I am sure you would find your dream MAN. If the accident did not take your life, you would be around to comfort Grace when she lost Jeff in a car crash in Brisbane just weeks before you left us. Do you know Grace was badly hurt both physically & emotionally & it took her many years to get over Jeff & ur departure... If only...

Till we meet in heaven... take care & I love you, my dear friend!

STEPPING ON THE WEIGHING SCALE

It has been a long time since I stepped on the weighing scale... coz I dun wanna face the truth! hahahaaa.... My boss has a bathroom scale in her room... so I stepped on it this morning! Oh my... my weight is 55kg! I have lost like 5kg over a span of maybe 6 months! Now I know why everybody is complaining that I have lost too much weight!

小星星的魅力

My goodness... a cab driver actually asked me for my number! Went drinking with my aunt and cousins, 3 of us shared a SMART cab. I dropped my cousin's friend and my aunt befor I head home. The cabby chatted with me and it is quite normal so I talk to him. Upon reaching my home, he keep saying I am very pretty and my make-up looks good... blah blah blah! Then he asked me for my name card which I don't carry when I go clubbing! I didn't want to give him my number so I asked for his card instead. He asked me to send him a sms when I reached home which of course I didn't! He said he wants to buy me dinner. When I got down the cab, I almost ran into the lift... then I spotted he was still watching me from his cab!!!!!! My goodness... 难道。。。佛靠金装, 人靠衣装，女人靠化妆？？？哈哈哈。。

p.s. I never anyhow 放电 hor!

POTATO MILK CAKE

Woo... I love this dish! I first tried this for a X'mas party at my place in 2005. Everybody loves it!


You need:
3 Potatos
4 tablespoon Butter
300g Minced meat (can subsitute with Bacon)s
1 tablespoon Flour
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (can be found in frozen food section)
Salt & Pepper (estimate)
2 cups Flour
3 Eggs (beaten)
2 cups Breadcrumbs

How:
1 Boil potatos until the potatos turn soft
2 Remove potato skin and mashed the potato in a big bowl.
3 Add salt, pepper and butter. Mix well.
4 Stir-fry the minced meat with a little oil. Add salt and peper.
5 Pour the minced meat into the mashed potato and also add mixed vegetables. Mix all ingredients well.
6 Roll the potato into small balls (size of a ping-pong ball). Wet palms to prevent the potato from sticking.
7 Leave in fridge for an hour
8 Prepare flour, breadcrumbs and eggs into 3 different plates.
9 Roll each potato ball in sequence, 1) flour, 2) egg and 3) breadcrumbs
10 Wrap and leave in fridge.

The potato balls must NOT be defrost. Defrosting will cause it to spilt. You can make in bigger quantity and keep frozen for about a month.

老婆饼

I am a big fan of 老婆饼... each time a friend or relative visits Hong Kong, the only thing I ask for is buy me 老婆饼! Whenever I see a shop selling this, I will buy and try but not one can match the HK standard. They probably have not eaten 老婆饼 before. Kind of give up searching liao... then one day I found this stall in Tampines Mall selling traditional 饼. So I tried and it turn out this one is real close to the original taste!!! If you also like 老婆饼, try out this stall! I bought 3 last nite... and I have finished all 3 today!

MY DADDY II

Dad went for a second check-up this morning. I was actually all prepared to hear the news! I mentally prepare myself for the worst news should it come and rehearsed my reactions through my mind so that I won't be caught unprepared and break down. Dad only did 1 test and the nurse sent us off and I keep asking her for the answer. She did not understand me initially and asked that we come back on Thursday. I got a bit pissed and almost raised my voice, then she realise what i am asking! SIGH!

The macho men... guess who is my daddy!

Some other family members

HEARTBROKEN II

I have packed all the stuff he gave me in a box. The rings, the torn-up photos etc... The decision now is whether I should sent it back to him. Of course, the 3 persons I talked to said I should not do that. The pragmatic friends said I should sell the valuables ... hahaha... SIGH!

HEARTBROKEN

Bad things always happen in a pair or trio to me! The most unexpected happen to me again. I came face to face with Don in Eastpoint. He was with a gal. One look, you will be able to identify that she is his girlfriend. He saw me and he let a sound which got me stare right into his face. I quickly pick up my speed and walk as fast as I could. Thoughts ran wildly in my mind like fire. I couldn't think straight... trying to recall his number to get confirmation. WHY? I dunno, I just want to know who that gal is. No answer! I couldn't hold back my tears anymore... Tears keep flowing on the mrt platform, in the train, on the bus and all the way home!

I picked up the courage to call him and he sounded angry! I didn't expect this from him. We broke off on the understanding that he has no time for relationship. So why is he in 1 now? He lied... I was stupid to believe that he still love me and wun hurt me. Didn't he communicated months back that if 1 day he is ready for relationship again, he will come back. He dare not even tell me whether he loves this gal. SIGH! I asked him to delete my phone number and forget me but he says he wun do any of this. So wat does not mean?

He is confused and I dun want to be in this confusion. He will be out of my life... never again I will let him in, into my heart. I will remember how he had hurt me. This will be the last time he will hear from me and this is the last time I will shed tears over him!

MY DADDY

All the while, I m closer to my Mummy than to my Dad. Deep down in my heart, I still have a little hatred for him for what he has done. I hardly see him when I was younger and this has distanced me further from him. When everybody were talking about their wonderful Father, I have to listen with a sour heart. The 6 years he was away from the family did not bridge this gap.

Yesterday, my dad was hospitalised. This is the first time in his life (if I dun remember wrongly). When I saw him lying on the bed, I realised he has aged so much. Whatever negative feelings I had for him disappeared. I should love him more and I must love him more because I only have 1 Father. Without him, I wun be here.

Someone send me this email... but i dun think u can read the contents. If you are interested to read the details, drop me a comment, I will email it to you!

I want my daddy to hold my hand so that I wun let him go no matter wat happen!

At the point for writing this, my Dad has been discharged from the hospital!

THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

等爱的女人

等爱的女人最可怜。。。 这句话好想在遍底女人的志尊， 不过这真正的反印了我此时此刻的心情。这种心情是不会有人了解的！那种渴望。。。那种等待。。。那种憧憬。。。！

WAY BACK INTO LOVE - LYRICS

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

Oh oh oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Oh oh oh

男人

男人道底是什么东西。男人总是 complain 女人心海底针，我说男人才难了解。难道他们不懂需要为自己的话负责任吗？

上帝， 您在创造男人是不是忘了装一个螺丝丁？？？

29 MAY 2007 - AN EVENTFUL DAY???

I had dinner with Kalyn. Kalyn is Andy's current girlfriend, who is a divorcee with 2 kids. Andy is a guy whom I know for 6 years, went steady for 6 months and I called off the relationship last September. One fine day, Kalyn called me and asked me wat is my relationship with Andy. And this is how I got to know Kalyn. Apparaently, this man is flirt, he has several woman at the same time. He doesn't destroy the proof of his unfaithfulness. Oh my... y I always end up knowing jerks??

We should be "enemies" since we like the same guy. But things did not turn up that way... we had dinner @ Thai Express for about 2 hours. We discovered that we have many things in common. We are of the same age, likse the same food, similar views etc. etc. We have kind of become friends and we will be clubbing together soon! Our next date...

My thoughts after meeting Kalyn... she is a nice girl like me. Andy is a jerk to hurt her. Wat has he done in this life and previous life to deserve a lady like that... So my friend is right... there are only 2 kinds of men on earth, one type is "Jian" and the other is "Very Jian". He belongs to the latter! Heeheee... I am glad I made the right decision to drop him. Thank GOD for that! My next date with Kalyn... clubbing together. We have a plan. We should appear in front of Andy together and see his reaction!
