Twenty 10

December 31st, 2009 by admin

I think this post is pretty much obligatory, like today a lot of people updating blogs (even those who hadn’t for eons!) simply because it is the end of the year, and it just seems fitting for something to bookend the year.

In fact, in my grogginess after dousing the cough syrup, I thought about what I would write, then you know how the feeling of “highness” and you think about the most atrocious things?

The funny images came and went, and before I knew it I couldn’t think straight and my mind told myself, “ai yah, just another day, I need to sleeeeeeeeeep” and went on cuddling my chow chow and blissfully drifted off again.

It is almost 5pm, and here I am with unbrushed teeth and probably with awesome breaths, suddenly finding myself typing this post with no pre-consideration to what I would write about this.

Actually, I don’t feel anything quite special, perhaps knowing how every year had ended and passed with such fanfare, and it feels like a diary I have finished using the pages, and I am now writing the last page of it, before going on to the next one.

I revisit my “2008 diary” mentally and it seems I had everything falling into my laps.

Yes, 2009 was eventful, relatively to 2008, many would have said it is a bad year. A year where people around me had their hearts broken, including my own. But at the same time, it was also in 2009 when I saw amazing things happening, and perhaps that’s the silver lining of it all, the worst will bring out the best.

I see blessings, I see recoveries, I see strength and grace in people, I see gorillas (haha!) and popeyes, I see people finding their well-deserved happiness after grief, I see  people forgive, I see people finding peace in the storm, I see true friendship when I saw her almost crying, and hey, I see Rome, Pompeii, Halong Bay and Phantom!

And 2009 had its extreme bads and unnecessary drama, meeting people I would rather not meet, dealing with friends the way I shouldn’t have, and choose to rather go to the extremes than to make a decision, I still have yet to master the act of making a decision.

I have spur of the moment reactions which I ain’t proud of, which I could look back and chuckle and wish that would never happen again. I think I am just glad I have the ability to simmer and forget fast, not in the forget totally, but like everything, it comes and goes.

Like what a colleague with strong character said, “I believe with time, a lot of things will go away. What everyone needs, is time.”

With time, some things did go away, some did not. Some acquaintances become friends, or even the guy with the BO you loathed most in high school can become your best friend after he forgave you for mocking at him and getting over the grudge. Or even the friend who had been there for more than a decade became the very person who makes you feel like the guy with the BO in high school.

I remember I was discussing with someone about revenges, “Do if it makes you feel better, but at the end of it, what do you really want to get out of it? Being indifferent to anyone who feels affected by you is perhaps the best you can do cos you stop giving the attention they craved, yet they are the ones who are still expecting your world to revolve around them. With so many things in life since we were young, it takes only time for things and people to be indifferent. How many times and years of clashes with people, and yet when meet again few years down the road, you can feel no animosity and smile and talk? Sure it sucks in the beginning, or there are some who will still bear grudges, but that’s not for you to control. That indifference is also your own personal victory of overcoming it cos you just shrug your shoulders when it happens, bitch about it, but it doesn’t really eat you up like it would when it is fresh or what others had wish it to do to you.”

Time, is all people need, and I am glad to say that 2009 had been graceful with me with time.

All this too, shall pass.

And with forgiveness, it brings peace. Have I forgot the bads totally? My mega memory serves me till I 5 years old leh, but good thing is I forget much of the pain that comes together with it. Good and bad. Good is, they can’t bug me much, bad is, you know how people say women are structured to forget about labour pains so they would go through with it again? Honestly, I can’t remember how painful it was, but I can remember it was painful la, so it is like there is a chance for stupidity to occur again.

Like seriously duh right?

Have I forgive? I try to do so every single day, and perhaps reading Bible verses (yes I know so preachy, just bear with me lah) helps (who is the one who sign me up for the daily updates one ah?!), cos it is not a matter of “He/She does that maybe because -insert excuse-….” and I try to make it sound better and feel better about it. It became “He/She does that because -insert worst scenarios-” and call a spade a spade, as bad as it is, and go all the way to say, despite this, I forgive.

Don’t know how to explain ah, but it kinda expands and broadens your threshold, by confronting reality, yourself, and eventually, forgives, and you feel that peace and indifference.

And what I remember of 2009 is actually a lot of the goods, maybe I do realise that with the worst, I did see some of the very best in people despite seeing the very worst. I think it is the same case for me too. Thus, I wish everyone well, and I don’t nor do I believe in wishing anyone ill. Even you Mrs Kp, laughs, you might not like me, but I do believe I will be very happy for you for the goods in your life. It does make life hopeful with all the fluffiness and all!

Still, there are certain tact I need to learn to manage people and heh heh heh, stay out of trouble. And I still need to overcome the social inaptness and the esteem issues that had prevented me to do a few important things for the fear of rejection.

But I awe myself with a few things I finally got my ass down to do. Pole dancing, salsa. Even sambal kangkong.

And Twenty 10 will be the year I go on to take the plunge and pursue things I have been meaning to achieve.

Twenty 10 will also be the year I will be making lotsa changes for Minibean, and starting to make arrangements that I had been meaning to avoid to maintain peace. But it will be a year I learn to make decisions for myself and stick to them. She will be finally going to school.

It will also be the year I will take control of the situation at home, and no more avoiding of issues.

2008, things came too easily.

2009, I need to get my ass out and learn new things and set things into motion. It was a year of getting out of comfort zone, and learning. It might not have that perfect ending, but still, I am thankful.

2010. With all the preparation 2009 had set me in, it will be the year, I hope I soar.

And with that, I hope you soar in 2010 as well, that it will be a year of brilliance, filled with plenty of awesome lovingness. There sure will be challenges, I pray for strength, and it will always come with a silver lining that you will get something good out of. Joy and happiness elude us ever so often, I hope for true happiness and bliss that stays consistent in your life to fill that emptiness. Good health, yes good health very important! Auntie here succumbed to maggie goreng and 2 pieces of prata kosong with very spicy curry and ended up feeling worse today.

Serves me right for not watching what I eat.

May it also be a year of plenty of good sex and mindblowing orgasms, not applicable if you are under 21 (yes, under 21 CANNOT!).

May 2010 be the year we all find what we have been looking for, and ourselves along the way. Maybe, we will learn to love the world fearlessly, again. :)

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

AND OH OH OH! ONE THING I MUST SAY ABOUT 2009!

One of my “achievements”.

- wait for it -

………..

………….

Giggles, I know it is damn anti-climatic, don’t “CHEY” me hor.

….

But it has almost been a life-long “dream” of mine, I got shallow dreams, can?

So it does mean something to me, okay!

Hohoho.

Not very perfect, still got room for improvement, but STILL!

…….

-wait for it -

….

I FINALLY COULD….

…. DO A SPLIT! -Please ignore the big bruise and seemingly imperfect split-

YAY! I tell you is superbly plenty of happyness!

I had been trying for many years but no determination and all, so finally stuck my guns to making it work.

I know it is easy for many people but I have been the stiffest person I ever known (I should have been born a chap, I tell you!), and this was me just 2 months before, the furthest I could spread my legs (ahem), was just this:

And I would already swear and curse because it got too painful.

Took me a month plus to finally get to that, and after that, is of course to improve my balancing skills and maybe put my legs behind my head so I can busk in Orchard Road in 2010.

Happy new year everyone! Have the best of what’s left of 2009 and may 2010 be one that all of you will look back and smile.

Gee, did I say this post is obligatory?

It is 6pm and I haven’t even gotten out of bed to wash up! No plans for tonight but feeling damn good about it!

A song to end twenty o-nine:

Very random, but it was just some tune that stuck in my head. :) May 2010 be one of good changes!

Look at me
Look at me
I am changing, tryin’ every way I can
I am changing, I’ll be better than I am
I’m trying-to find a way to understand
But I need you, I need you-I need a hand

I am changing, seeing everything so clear now
I am changng, I’m gonna start right now, right here
I’m hoping to work it out, and I know that I can
But I need you, I need a hand

All my life I’ve been a fool
Who said I could do it all alone
How many good friends have I already lost
How many dark nights have I known

Walking down that wrong road, there was nothing I could find
All those years of darkness-can make a person blind
But now I can see

I am changing, tryin every way I can
I am changing, I’ll be better than I am
But I need a friend-to help me start all over again,
oh-that would be just fine
I know it’s gonna work out this time
‘Cause this time I am-This time I am

I am changing, gonna get my life together now
I am changing, yes, I know how
I’m gonna start again, I’m leaving my past behind
I’ll change my life-I’ll make a vow
And nothing’s gonna stop me now…hey

A blessed Christmas 2009

December 30th, 2009 by admin

Sod it.

Despite the cocktail of potent drugs prescribed by incompetent doc (cannot complain cos FOC), I am still wide awake with this floaty buzz, and I am having this crazy idea to attempt a 2.4km run at this time in the morning (0439). But no, thankyouverymuch, sorry to disappoint, I don’t intend to collapse and drop dead and die with some kind of heart failure or breathing difficulty (flu you know, don’t play play!), so I shall behave myself and stick my arse right before the monitor and rattling on gibberish like I am doing now simply because I am groggy yet my brain refuses to rest.

Gee, did I just cram everything above into one, solid paragraph?

As I was saying, since I am utterly sober, I might as well go on and write about my wonderfantabulousickly Christmas. Nothing special, but just something in me clicked and the stars aligned themselves with the flow of “qi” coincide with the planet of Pluto or something like that, which kinda made me appreciate the simpler stuff and gestures. And when confronted with things head on, eh, I realise things don’t really matter that much anymore.

And I could breathe freely, somewhat. Because I kinda know where my priority lies and sod what others may say or think.

Bring it on baybeh, I say.

Though somewhat I am worried how long this little pleasant bubble will be burst by the hormones, but it had lasted long enough for me to be quite pleased with the little milestone.

It gotta do with no one, but probably myself.

I have met some people I haven’t met though I could have met long time ago, and somehow, that brought the changes, with tiny steps out of the comfort zone.

Okay, that’s the airy head speaking. Ignore me, like totally.

So!

Like I said, Christmas came and went, and perhaps with little expectations, the joy goes a long way with Minibean injecting plenty of life.

I prayed a lot for this Christmas, besides the fact that I pray my bank account will magically replenish itself, I kinda prayed quite a bit for release, for giving, my mum even, and my family. Even for people who don’t matter anymore, and the other who still do matter. For the people who have had it tough in 2009. I even prayed it would be a breeze for me to get through dreadful gatherings or my difficult mum, and somehow really surprising lor! Instead of being defensive and cold, I actually could find myself soften and enjoyed this festive season and was thinking of ways to keep my mum happy.

Like it was a given, not a chore.

Shit. I think the feeling come already. So before I could go on and relate my Christmas and post up the very chui pictures of a sickly, frail, me -insert weak coughs here-, I think I shall crash when the feeeeeeeeling is here.

This kind of feeling is gooooddd… like you wouldn’t want to waste a good orgasm.

What am I saying?

Okay, will continue this post with the pictures tomorrow. I try to wake up early.

Hohoho!

Ho’s before bros! That is damn random and has nothing to do with the abrupt halt to this entry, but that was just something I was reminded of.

Fishy fishy fishy fishy! Here I come (private joke!).

Sniffs

December 30th, 2009 by admin

A bad bout of flu since Christmas day is making me slightly detached from reality for a while.

Finally ventured out of home today to head to the doc’s to get the necessary medication, only to realise still running a 38 degrees fever, which I probably had gotten used to a while.

Dinner at Boon Tong Kee, and the only thing I could taste was the century egg, yums.

A little trip out of home did bring a bit of the energy back, though it was quick to escalate back to a fever. Tsk.

Spent the past couple of days holed up at home, which proved to be utter bliss, and on days when I couldn’t decide whether to have a 3/4 pounder from Wendy’s or Popeye’s, the answer is evident – HAVE BOTH!

And you wonder why I am still sniffing, coughing and swearing in between my shallow, sickly breaths.

The baked brains of mine could resist no longer for VS, and this time, I managed to get some other items, like leggings, cardigans, and a winter jacket. My own ill doings after I infected Caryn with the insatiable urge, and we ended up combining orders after I passed her some of my VS loots earlier this evening to try the sizes.

Hohoho. I am evil. Giggles.

But I decided not to wear some of the clothes so I can wear them for Chinese New Year. Yay!

It is NOT the same as before, because I had bought swimwear and beach wear.

The 1st batch was mostly dresses.

SO I INSIST, NOT THE SAME!

I made use of the free international shipping so I don’t have to rely on lousy Vpost, suck it up suckers!

And I still haven’t got the energy to blog about my wonderfabulous Christmas.

So, maybe a nap will do some justice to my poor, tormented, awfully hot body.

So much things to catch up :)

Minibean is also down with a bad flu, since it probably was from her before I got it, and I hope the little mite will get well soon before our trip next Monday.

Plenty of excitement, since it will be my first cruise and hers too, and it will be our first trip overseas together.

Let’s hope my lady luck will be blessing me to recoup from the loss from Christmas season… and of course, Vicks’.

Bad girl, Ting, bad girl. -smacks back of hand-

Help needed! (Cathay, LV, Chanel, dresses!)

December 29th, 2009 by admin

On and off there are people who asked me if I could help to disseminate some information and I always say it would be a pleasure, but then you know how things always go… go here happy lah, go there party lah, sick here lah, rest there lah, hiao here, sashay there, lazy here, feed fish there….

… THEN ALL NO SOUND NO PICTURE!

Sorry, I know I terrible friend.

SO! -DONG DONG DONG CHIANG CHIANG CHIANG-

I am asking for help for random friends who asked me to help them for all sorts of reasons, say, feed their family, relieve their shopping impulses, appease seething spouse, keep their jobs, save their virginities… well, you get the drift.

So hopefully people out there who have as massive hearts as cough, yours truly do, please see which of the below your big hearts (or big pockets) can do a little something to make a difference.

***

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT:

EASY ONE!

The Cathay (yes yes, the mall with the cinema near Plaza Singapura) has launched its very virgin facebook fanpage!

Kudos to the brilliant, impressive, awesome, cool marketing team for its efforts. Cough.

*Though I am not sure why I was told that if I can get people to join, I will flash one boob, and if I can get 10 people to join I will flash both boobs.

THEN LIKE THAT I HELP FOR WHAT?!

*Please be mindful that the above mentioned WILL NOT BE HAPPENING since I ain’t getting paid for this. Pfft!

Anyway I was saying, go to The Cathay Facebook Page and join as a FAN, like, er, NOW, cos they will be giving out movie passes, exclusive merchandises or even goodie bags sporadically through their facebook page.

In the next couple of days, they will be giving out Little Big Soldiers movie passes. Wheee!

So simple, join a do a good deed and increase your good karma for 2009 (private joke)! Almost end of year already,  so faster!

How to help?

Step 1: Do you have a facebook account? Yes, sign in. No? Sign up, so easy!

Step 2: Go to www.facebook.com/thecathay

Step 3: Click on “Become a Fan” on top of the page

AND YOU ARE DONE!

Simple right? If you don’t feel like helping out, then… the next one might be for you!

***

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT:

I know Christmas is just over, but guys, there is always a reason why you should show your love and affections for your ladies, so here are plenty of chances for you to do so.

And ladies, don’t have chaps nevermind, we can always depend on ourselves to give ourselves the much needed pampering, right (not right also must humour me!!)?

Please note that I absolutely abhor passing off fakes as genuine goods cos that is as good as fraud, so I am going to just put up authentic products, helping friend, or not.

I have a friend who had bought a limited edition Louis Vuitton Suede Whisper, which has a gorgeous texture, and in mint condition which she had only used a couple of times.

It was from the Autumn/Winter collection 08/09 and the most beautiful part of it was its smooth, suede finish, with a touch of elegance with its handles, trim and keyfob all in the skin of python.

Lo and behold! Louis Vuitton Monogram Suede Embossed Whisper! It is black (Kohl to be exact, though it is more for guys who have no concept of colours) and is the one on the left of the picture.

When the design was first launch it was sold out, and honestly if I have the financial means, I would be buying this from her lah!

It spells luxe with its interior lined with grey calf leather, and it comes with a pretty little lock at the bottom right side of the bag.

I know how much she can’t bear to part with this baby, so I am helping her to look for someone who really knows how to take care of this piece of beauty. And I know some people were looking for this design some time back, so hopefully…. this bayyybehh can find a home.

Condition: 9/10 (She takes really good care of it and she only used it a couple of times)

Retail: SGD 5400

Letting go at: $4500

Drop me an email at joewei.ting [at] gmail dot com if you are interested or have any questions to ask! And I will link you guys up depending on her comfort level!

***

THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT:

If you are a little more anal about “virginity” and would want to purchase a never-used before, brand new luxury bag, this may be…. a dream (I know it is kinda like mine, giggles).

A friend was given a black Chanel Classic Medium Flap Caviar in silver hardware (oh gosh, did I hear Chanel? I can’t breathe now!) by mistake (she had wanted a Jumbo Flap), and is willing to let go of her never used before Medium Flap, with its strap not even pulled out from the way it was since she had gotten in just a month ago.

It is 100% genuine, and you could bring it to the shop to authenticate it or she will refund. Comes with “birth cert” and all.

(Why I go search for the picture then I ended up feel as if I was hypnotized by it ah?!)

If you are a lady, I say, grab it.

If you are a guy, no issue. Is okay one! I say, buy it and give it to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so I can be in the Chanel club, I am oh-so-shallow, and you can shove in it my face and I couldn’t care less! I mean I like the Jumbo size also and I don’t care gold hardware or silver hardware, but who will hiam so much?!

Is so mysteriously beautiful man! WHY MY LIFE NOT AS GOOD NO ONE BUY FOR ME ONE?! Giggles, nevermind, earn one myself next time, can one, plenty of awesomeness!

But just not now for me :(

Upon confirmation and payment, the bag will be hand delivered to you on the same day!

Condition: Brand new in dust bag! 10/10 Virgin!

Retail price: SGD $4330

Letting go: SGD: $3999

Gosh, I want to see that one more time. Maybe I see enough will become mine.

Sibei heavenly.

But. Still not mine. Boo.

Anyway, same thing, drop me an email and I will be the contact point, cos, er, sensitive issues to sell off things people give.

If you a chap with big heart, can buy both, don’t give me also nevermind.

Drop me an email at joewei.ting [at] gmail dot com if you are interested or have any questions to ask!

***

FOURTH ANNOUNCEMENT!

A petite-frame friend of mine is letting go of two pieces of dresses, which she has never worn before (except to try them on cos they are too big for her).

Both dresses are bought from reknown blogshops locally, and are pieces that are pretty popular.

Honestly when she showed me, I was quite impressed by her taste, cos hahaha, I like the dresses! But with my orders from Victoria’s Secret coming in, I am on a LONG shopping ban, till further notice (just stab me!).

First up is a peach-coloured dress:

Which is plenty of class and will enhance your figure with its hugginess around your waist and midriff. It is ideal for work as well as a formal dinner or even a date!

It has a V-back (I love V-back clothes!), and is flattering on the figure.

A bit of more information on this:

PTP: 14 – 17 inches
Length: 32.5 – 33 inches
Fits UK6 – small 10
Bodycon (bottom) and matte silk satin (top)

Woops. I promise I will help her put it up but I forgot to ask her how much she wanna let go :X

Another one is this casual piece which personally I adore more than the above:

blackdress

The sleeves can be adjusted and be worn as short-sleeved or sleeveless dress! Made from cotton and spandex, so it is very comfortable for day wear, and accentuate the figure as well!

And sexy deep-V at the front!

Underbust/Waist : 11 to 16 inches
Shoulder to Hem : 32 inches

Same thing, send me an email, and I will direct your enquiry to said babe! :)

Man, gee, I thought this was going to be a short post, and I didn’t expect it to really sap so much of my energy. Maybe it is the flu and maybe it is the wavering determination.

Tsk.

Okok, so I probably have to wait till tomorrow to blog about my Christmas. Ill with flu, you know? So very weak and tired and…. need other forms of relaxation.

So shoo shoooooooo go help go help now!

I feel like a lelong site now heh heh.

Note: Kim, if you’re reading this, was trying to get in touch with you via email, but it couldn’t get to your mailbox :) Kindly get in touch if you see this!

The stork came calling

December 28th, 2009 by admin

Question: What do you do when your water breaks/contractions set in?

This really cracked me up and sobered me from my grogginess:

K.t says:

December 28, 2009 at 6:16 pm

Contractions, gg hospital tonight!!!
Wish me luck pls! :s so scaryyyy!

It sets my adrenaline rushing with all the excitement and though we have not met K.t, it certainly makes me warm and fuzzy to know that I am somewhat a part of your baby’s journey out!

(someday you can tell your baby: “When the contractions set in, I went to Ting’s blog… oh she’s this virtual stranger, but anyway, I left a comment…“)

I can’t wait to hear all the other stories, and your first steps into parenthood.

Plenty of love and well-wishes from me and Minibean, and you are in our prayers that tonight will be a night of blessings, and everything will go on smoothly for you and your family.

Be strong!!! Be brave! PUUUSHHHHHH! Breattthhheeeee!

In other news, Wenmei gave birth on Christmas day via C-section! A pity my flu isn’t getting any better for me to pop by to visit them, and it is always a joy to see friends becoming parents :)

Next up: 2010!

December 27th, 2009 by admin

I have so many things to update before the new year starts, which I am “quite” determined to improve wholesomely.

Like really, many many many many many many many things man!

How was your Christmas?

I realise counting my blessings really works wonders as I wrap my year up, and not having expectations of it all, had made the Christmas a fabrilliant (what’s with me coining new terms these days?) one.

It might not be the company, but it could well be a change of heart.

Like, dance. Let go and dance.

It has been quite a blast for the past few days, and I am not sure if words could ever describe it, and it is even stranger when I succumbed to a bad flu (which I believe Minibean had passed on to me) and had my taste bud nipped.

It sent my temperature soaring, but it didn’t stop me from venturing out and made the best of Christmas. I might be too stoned out to show how much I enjoy my Christmas, but I want to thank everyone.

Even those I didn’t manage to meet up over Christmas. Somehow, knowing you guys are there with your SMSes, are really awesome enough.

I used to think Christmas should only be fun if it goes according to how and what I want it to be, and I could choose my companions…. I know I ain’t gonna have my wish fulfilled this year, and truth to be told, I was a little reluctant and apprehensive.

But I guess, somehow, the peace was brought to me, and I enj0yed myself thoroughly this Christmas. Simple, no raves, no parties, and I found myself, being myself.

Now with the fever coming back with a vengeance, I doubt I could do this post justice, and do much updates. I had wanted to use what is left of the year to clear all the posts I have been meaning to blog, but I think it is pretty impossible with the airy-ness in my head, no thanks to a badly congested nose.

Yes, with all these bad flu, I ended up wanting to venture out cos I just didn’t want this joy and positivity to stop.

How to explain huh? I don’t know. But, one day, I will get there.

I hope everyone had a blessed, blessed Christmas :) and enjoy what’s left of 2009.

It is Christmas’ Eve!

December 24th, 2009 by admin

I know how I lamented how I don’t look forward to Christmas, but the little girl within me cannot be denied.

The mood is growing on me, and I went shopping without a care for my bank account in the world, because I still believe giving is the best feeling in the world in a time like this.

I know this hasn’t been a good year for many people, especially people around me, and perhaps, I think everyone deserves to be reminded they are not forgotten and very much loved.

I try not to peek into my statements.

I can’t perhaps fulfill wishes with my limitations, but I still hope to bring a little, uh, hope and happiness?

It is not meant to sound like holy damn good or wah-she-so-nice way, but you know, sometimes you just feel like how you remember the last time someone made you feel this way, and you think what great joy it is, and you just want to pass this blessing on?

Christmas is like finally wrapping the year up, and a time to celebrate the good, and perhaps, mellow the bad so that the next year could be looked upon with plenty of hope.

It was a nice feeling to be darting in and out of shops and getting something that you hope and think someone will like, yet a bit apprehensive if the person will feel obligated to like it?

Aiyah, it’s the thought that counts lah.

Nonetheless, shopping is a freaking bitch. 2 hours of walking and shopping is enough to drain me of ALL the energy, and I can’t understand how people derive great joy from it.

So tiring until can die!

Hello? Online shopping is the way to go!

And now with the mood growing on me, I can’t wait to go out and live the next couple of weeks :)

Good news? I am getting my VS loots tonight! Woohooooooo!

Plenty of awesomeness.

I wish everyone plenty of joy, plenty of hope for this Christmas, and it is often the most simple things in life, like a game of mahjong last year, a friend who remembers you, a great clique of friends to hang out with that would bring greatest satisfaction, and it doesn’t need to be plenty of partying to bring that. So to those who complained to me that they never got invited to parties, hey, really, it is the company that really matters and a quiet night in will surprise you :)

Me?

I am spending it with Minibean in less than ideal ways, but still, with Minibean around, that’s all it matters right? :)

Have a great Christmas eve everyone :)

Merry, merry Christmas.

Time to change to head out.

Gee. Did I forget to do some wrapping? Darn.

Just a tip: When shopping for wrapping paper, do remember to read the fine prints! Someone bought 2 gifts for his male colleagues, and when I saw the packaging, I burst out laughing.

It read sentimentally: I will love you forever, and more than anything else in the world.

How, uhm, touching.

VS and the weekend of random strangers

December 22nd, 2009 by admin

Have I been away for this long already?

I think I am getting too comfortable in my comfort zone, and despite not doing that much since a week ago, it feels like I have done pretty much.

And however meaningless, everything seems pretty meaningful! -beams-

Blogging the past week was always at the back of my mind, just that I didn’t really get down to doing it, and by the time I am chewing on the bits and pieces of it, I don’t remember what to do with the memories anymore.

So I thought I shall start with the exciting weekend I have had.

Of my little adventure, of strangers and sweaty armpits and all!

***

Friday 18th December

It could have been the coolest Friday in a long, long while, and the best part of it, nothing of it was planned.

My resolution for Friday, was to wake up for the delivery of the long-awaited package from Victoria’s Secret, using the ever unreliable service of Vpost.

Speaking of which, as much as a nagging voice is egging me on to get a refund, cos I just can’t take this injustice lying down, but I am just tired of draining confrontations and am thinking of letting it slide so I just don’t have to sit through the whole saga. It was almost like an emotional roller coaster.

On Thursday, they had told me my parcel was confirmed lost. Yes, after they had told me they had found my parcel. I swear I was on the verge of tears because of this emotional roller coaster, like, who do I freaking trust?

Towards the end of the day, someone called to tell me that my parcel had been found and arrived in Singapore, and they would deliver to me the next day, between 9am to 1pm. I had my whole heart and trust into this and I was feeling kinda positive already, though I was somewhat pissed that they made me go through that extreme low of believing my parcel was lost.

Maybe it is like making me deprived, will somehow make the orgasm all the more stronger.

True to Vpost/Singpost fashion, the parcel arrived at almost 2pm.

But I was just too thrilled to be complaining, and Vpost never did hear from me again.

The parcel they had somewhat misplaced:

Yes, it is NOT small to begin with.

I ripped open the box and Christmas did come early, though I must say that it should have came much, freaking earlier! Grrr!

And for those who wonder why I got all anxious and excited about the parcel (before I got frustrated and devastated by Vpost/Singpost), I tweeted the picture of my loots, and I am not sure how many of you will truly feel the pain of losing all of these:

Such a yummy burst of colours right? And it is enough to cheer up anyone’s day just with the delicious blend of goodness :D

Definitely give me plenty of smile about, and plenty of awesomeness. Legendary! No repetition either!

And come 1st quarter of 2010, no more waiting, no more Vpost, cos Victoria’s Secret gonna have its first Asia boutique in Singapore! Though I am not sure if there is gonna be delay or what, but heck, it sure beats depending on Vpost, though of course if the sale and the cost gonna be cheaper with weakened US dollars, I will still think about getting them from the online sites, since I am pretty much allergic to crowds.

STILL! Victoria’s Secret in Singapore, exhilarating! Can try on the sizes before I make my orders, laughs, and word has it that Orlando Bloom (hubbba hubba!) gonna be present at the opening.

I can only dream about being invited for it, isn’t it? Or that if Ashvin Valiram will somehow take pity on me and invite me along. -dreams- I will serve canapes for you for FREE! In VS lingerie! I will be your slave (not in that sense!)!

Cough. I really wouldn’t want to scare your guests that way, laughs.

Though I must say the feeling of having a package delivered to the doorstep is just a one of its kind of feeeeeeling.. I used to miss waiting for parcels during my stay overseas. It is the anticipation and surprise element.

Hey, I think it is the blogging withdrawal symptoms, I am getting overly offtopic with this and longwinded!

In my groggy state, I remember greedily tearing them out of their plastic, and trying on each and single piece, only to be sighing with absolute delight and relief that EVERYTHING FITS PERFECTLY. Though some of them I should have succumbed to a size XXS, but nothing a little bit of nip-tuck by the tailor can’t fix.

Threw almost everything into the wash, but the temptation of wearing something new and chirpy out was too great.

Had lunch at home, before I knew it, I was wearing a casual dress out for a casual day in town!

Chose the yellow piece since it was of a more casual cut and it would go well with flip-flops for a day of no-fuss.

Love the X-back, and I was wondering if I should get it altered for a tighter cut. I am lazy. So maybe I should just put on more weight to fit into it, but then I know I will cry bloody murder for it.

Headed for a medical test for my blood and hormones which is one of the things I want to sort out for year 2010 – for better health.

I didn’t manage to meet Joyce to disappoint her with the no-show of  “Mr Chong”.

After whiling almost 2 hours at the clinic, I ended up at China Square Central to collect my poor, poor baby.

The one which had been abused by Minibean – my Pourpre Balenciaga First.

Finally collected it from the cleaners, before I sat down to have some rojak and a quick drink with Siren, before she headed off to have dinner with James.

We were supposed to meet for a 11.20pm movie, and with an ample amount of time to spare from then till 11.20pm, almost 4 hours to be exact, I did the thing that makes the most sense to me – utilise my data plan and surf lah!

Of course, to feel less lonely, I got on Twitter.

And then suddenly, my almost boring Friday evening became a little adventure of my own as I jostled the traffic to get into town!

Was thinking of doing some Christmas shopping, but then I saw the crowd and I got intimidated and put off.

SERIOUSLY! You would think you are caught in a war between the humans and the Na’vi!

Someone was also in town, and bored, with an hour to spare.

And what followed was a crazy idea… to meet up with strangers.

Somemore oily face and casually dressed, got more shy and kanchiong or not?!

But good huh, he says XX% of young people.

WE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE! WOOHOO!!!!

I know alignment a bit off, but don’t know how to adjust.

So it was almost like reality tweeting show, and the first thing we met, he said, “Give me a while, I need to tweet,” so in between my initial jittery giggles, I also ended up tweeting about it with other followers also getting a little adventure out of this.

Really ah!

And the sexiest thing I have said?

“I very nervous howwww?! My armpits wouldn’t stop sweating! HOWWWW?!”

Very classy.

He is taller than I expected him to be, and his head/face is smaller in real life. Younger also. But I ended up just covering my head with my paperbag and giggling non-stop. SO NERVOUS CAN?!

And yes, I was late. Cos I bloody smart, for the short distance, refused to take train, die die wanna brave the jam by cab. Got more lazy or not?! Ended up really like mad woman, had to RUN lor.

Then I learnt my lesson after I parted with him (I swear I didn’t do anything to him! He left me safely, so hopefully this will make you guys believe that I don’t bite!) to avoid all malls in Orchard, and all public transport too!

Didn’t even feel like Christmas shopping already :(

So from Orchard, I decided to go to my next destination – Suntec City, by foot.

So I walked in the breezy evening, taking in the beautiful lights (not that the decorations are pretty, but just because you know, many colours, like very dazzling), and I mentioned to the-stranger-I-met about the funny looking reindeer wearing a dress with a skin-colour phallical thingy sticking out underneath its skirt.

I remember my hair was teased, and there was something upbeat in the air, or maybe it was the adrenalin high that was still giving me sweaty armpits.

I remember thinking how great the moment of solitary was.

I remember not wanting to stop to take pictures because it was so surreal and I was just enjoying being part of it, though on hindsight, I really should have.

I remember walking from Orchard and after Plaza Singapura (I stayed at the opposite side of the road to give myself more space), my bladder was starting to fill up with the Ice Lemon Tea(which I didn’t KO from, so I can attest it wasn’t spiked), and I decided to take my chance for the 2nd time in that evening.

I called Clarclar.

I asked if she was still working. She was.

And for so many years, we had only met once. When she had walked past me at one of those trade shows some years back.

I asked her if she wanna meet me for a while, after I had my toilet break, and we wondered if we would end up being too shy to talk.

Quite okay leh, but my armpits sweated more and I got more tongue-tied and more kanchiong than I had when I met Cruz.

You will not believe how big a step it was for me to finally meet Claris. And it went pretty alright in my opinion lah, though I am not as tall as she thought I am, and she was shorter than I thought she is. As pretty, but maybe I am bias.

And she reminded me of someone :X

I was almost out of breath and I had to ask her to turn away from me, and when she couldn’t hear me I stood behind her to speak into her ears. Got more hilarious or not.

But I finally did manage to look at her in the eyes.

I didn’t realise I stopped for more than half an hour. I continued on my walk from there, mesmerized by the town area which was as if wrapped in plenty of happiness.

When I finally reached Suntec City, a timely message from Siren came in.

It was 10.15pm.

They were done with dinner and were on their ways down to meet us!

We headed to Hong Kong cafe for dinner (more for me, obviously!), and the chaps went to get the tickets.

And then, I bumped into Jamie, who had seen my tweets and wanted to tweet me that she was at Suntec before her phone got cut off or something.

But still, we were fated and ended up bumping into each other at Hong Kong cafe.

Then bumped into Cordelia.

What a strange, strange day!

***

Watched Avatar, and honestly I certainly wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely was blown away when it turned out to be nothing short of amazing.

Plenty of brilliance can!

It is not something that could be explained, but has to be sat through by everyone to understand the awesomeness of it all.

It is about art, technology, and hell, even politics. But mostly, it is about breaking barriers, and it surreality definitely make you feel out of this world.

I am not a person who is a fan of fantasy, or things that seem too unreal to be existing in this world, but this show has shown how believeable everything is.

I am just a little bummed we didn’t forsee the epicness of it to go for 3D, but it wowed everyone.

I was thinking at the end of it, I wanna be there, but only to be pulled back into reality to remember it doesn’t exist to begin with.

The last time a movie made me feel like this, was Lord of the Rings, when I know I want to be in Elf-land to bonk all the elves.

Nonetheless, Avatar is a movie about believing, and pushing the boundaries of your belief systems. Simply fascinating.

I don’t know what it was, but the trailer certainly didn’t do it justice, I thought it would be another CGI movie that said all it was, but wouldn’t be able to deliver, but damn, it did and went way beyond that.

Wow. Just wow.

***

The night was concluded with more food at Hong Kong cafe, while we watched the night shrouded by the thin drizzle. It was absolutely cosy.

I was tired, but just trudged on the night with plenty of good company.

***

Slept in on a rainy Saturday, and woke up to realise we were ass late for a salsa session at Vandalin‘s office, where he was all alone for a good half of the afternoon, waiting for a bunch of lazyheads who couldn’t get up for the 1.30pm session.

Eventually, we got there at 4pm, simply because I had a mini guest-of-honour with me, and getting her fed, changed and poo-pooed wasn’t that easy a task.

And once again, I was in my VS gear. Hohoho.

It was a blue top I totally adore, and would look great with tights (what’s the difference between yoga tights and daily tights?), and I totally love the cut!

Looking really chui but love the blue!

Minibean with her Santa Claus, and the jacket I lost. The jacket she has worn since she was mere months old :(

Lunch at Amoy Street with her being totally cheeky as usual.

Lunch menu: Beef hor fun, Wanton Mee, and Mutton Soup.

She was being a total handful, and refused to let me speak to the others in peace. Could be a little cranky due to lack of nap.

Finally met KM and RN in real life, and it was…. nice. Cos I do remember most of RN’s comments and they were always the ones that made me laugh, as well as feeling warm and fuzzy. So I was actually a little embarrassed to meet them in person.

We then left Vandalin’s office without even doing any Salsa, and headed to have snacks at Lau Pa Sat!

Puckering up for the camera!

This was perhaps the last moment before I lost her jacket for good :( After she wrapped Santa with the jacket, I saw the jacket being a little soiled and decided to put it into my bag, but I never saw the jacket in my bag anymore.

That was her favourite jacket from Kenzo, and I bought it for her :(

Example of a bad influence:

And she picked it up:

Not me! I not the bad influence! Hohoho.

Wanted to take a picture with Siren in our new VS stuff, and someone decided to crash the party at the back. But she is just being so adorable lah! :)

Food on the list for our overseas guest:

Sambal stingray and Gonggong.

I am ashamed to say that was my virgin experience with the gong gong.

And we want to bring him for more local delight, like black pepper crabs, and of course, durian!

Finally, a new favourite picture of Minibean, credits to the great lighting:

She just looks so angelic here, and her double eyelid is showing in one eye (thus her eyes look one big one small).

We headed to see Siren at her Bachata class, and snuck off when our ride was here to pick us up.

I remember dozing off together with Minibean throughout, and got home to have Double Cheeseburger meal, upsized to go with the food I already had in the day.

The most fulfilling thing was to feed her an entire bowl of porridge, gave her some treats in the form of fries, packed my room, showered together, washed the bathroom floor, washed her bottles and all, the dishes, did the laundry, hung the clothes to dry (and praying that it wouldn’t rain)…. the best part? Mum wasn’t home. Wooohoooo!

For a good part of the past year, she had indulged in the bad habit of shoving her finger up her nose to get the attention of adults cos she kinda enjoy when all of us get riled up when she does that.

The other day, I decided to show her this picture of gorilla to deter her from doing so any further.

I am proud to say it had worked wonders.

When she had wanted to do it again, I asked, “You remember gorilla? You want to look like that?!”

She quickly put her finger down and said, “NOT PREEEEETTTYYY!” with Mummy looking darn smug with her ploy that works.

Spent some time with her in her vet play tent though I must say it is very crammed.

But it was a nice Saturday. Very nice.

I ended up having a bowl of white rice with home cooked goodness, and was still craving for Kambing soup AFTER I finished my supper.

***

Didn’t go anywhere on Sunday, just stayed in with the fabulous weather, and sat through almost an entire season of How I Met Your Mother, and 2 episodes of CSIs.

I succumbed to guilty pleasure again with homecooked food, AND another upsized double cheeseburger meal. :|

There is something in the simplicity of it all, that made me just wanna laze… and rolling Minibean around in my bed before she scooted off to sleep.

***

I bet it isn’t a surprise that I only woke up in the afternoon on such a dreary Monday.

It was great.

After my mum and Minibean headed out to visit my aunt, I ended up going back to bed till it was 5pm for such pure, unadulterated rest.

Utter, utter bliss.

Woke up to head to Kovan area to help Andy and Evelyn with their new ride, and before Christmas, they will be new owners of a car!

And it was just typical of me to pull the Victoria’s Secret top fresh from the wash:

We ended up waiting till almost 10pm before we finally settled down for dinner at Ang Mo Kio, and it was black pepper crabs, salted egg crabs, cereal prawns, sambal kangkong and hot plate tofu, all are my favourite dishes.

It then started pouring and I actually panicked cos my fishes in fishville needed to be fed.

Apple was just too happy to see my fishes die, I tell you. Tsk, evil.

Headed for home when the rain subsided, and it was a picture with plenty of niceness out there, with the scent of rain in the air.

I was just too hooked to establishing a career on the iphone with Guitar Hero.

Finished with How I Met Your Mother, and ventured on to Season 2.

I think Neil Patrick Harris is just so hot.

I need a Marshall in my life, but I am just into season 1, so whatever follows doesn’t count.

I have a Project Lingerie on hands with my partner in crime, and like she said, dreams are the seeds to reality. Woohoooooo!

Before I knew it, as I started with this post, I was just so positive that I wasn’t gonna succumb to McDee’s, and I ended up heading out for Big Breakfast. And since I couldn’t decide between Big Breakkie and Hotcakes, is anyone surprised with my recent appetite that both were ordered?

It is such a dreamy start to a Tuesday, with a dreamy week to boot.

I am quite sure it isn’t going to be a fruitful Christmas shopping day, but I am just contended. :)

And blessed. Especially with the people I have met in the past week, I am glad to have done so.

Yes yes, I know some of you asked me to post pictures of my VS loots, but so far, these are the ones I have worn, so stay tuned for the others! :)

Short one

December 19th, 2009 by admin

These few days have been nothing short of fabulous despite some of the bugging issues, but I really hadn’t felt such thrill and exhilaration in a long, long while with an entire weight off my back.

It could be the promise I made for myself, or maybe just from the things I set out to do and manage to squeeze in plenty in such a short while.

Sorry for the lack of updates, the jam-packed, fulfilling days have been one of the reasons why, and even mundane house chores seem like a breeze.

Maybe I am feeling so happy now is because mum is out and I can shed my walls and come out of my shell. -Beams-

Or maybe, it has something to do with the fact my Victoria’s Secret is finally here and everything fits perfectly fine, and to a “T”.

And plenty of goodness and awesomeness to blog about. My backlog is threatening to thin on me with my fading memory.

If you would excuse me now, it is playtime in the vet tent with Minibean. :)

Time to fall in love with the festive season again (despite the horrid traffic in town!!! Arggghh!).

Raising a girl

December 17th, 2009 by admin

I am now typing with one hand because the lil princess of a Minibean is leaning against my chest, and sliding down to lie on my lap.

She is making sure I have my left arm drape around her tiny shoulder, so I am oerpetually hugging and “sayanging” her.

So yup, this post is going to take a while :)

And she is insisting on sitting on my lap as I do some stuff online, so whoever is chatting to me, do keep your conversations clean so she wouldn’t read anything she ain’t supposed to read. Heh.

Spending the evening surfing for a suitable play school for her, which location and fees are the huge considering factors.

The rates are pretty exorbitant, and though there was initial reluctance to start her young with school (hey, if she starts now, she probably won’t stop for another 20 years, you know?!), but then it will probably be good for her social skills and all and a good break from my mum.

So I shall take this time to do some scouting and planning, and put my critical skills to good use. Hohoho.

***

One of the amazing things about raising a girl is that, they amaze you all the time with how… the girly nature is imbued in them, just like -snaps fingers- that

I wonder did I naturally opt for pink when I was just a mere kiddy, and would give comments to every adult’s dress sense when it didn’t make sense to me.

And yes, that manja, doe-eyed look that will manipulate you emotionally, seems to come free in the package as well.

My weekend with the spawn was one that was well-spent with her new toys from her birthday, and she displayed fully her potential to conquer the world someday with her extreme vanity.

I shifted the vet’s tent to my room and my mum seemed to have grow an allergy to it, basically she feels it is too much like those houses that you burn, but it is just her, as long as it is not what she cooks, what she buys, what she does, or what she says, she has the tendency to see the worst and assume the worst.

My take to her is, as long as she keeps the childlikeness and innocence of what the product is meant to be, to cultivate her love for animals, and easy to keep compare to those bulky kids’ houses which they eventually outgrow, and much better ventilated, there is no point why she keep instilling the fear into a mere 3 year-old and teaching her to see the worst in things.

How to love the world fearlessly like thaaaaaat?

And of course, her real issue with the tent is that it was bought by anybody but her and Minibean seems to enjoy it.

When Minibean saw my camera, she was adamant that I should photograph her.

Alas my Canon 450 D ran out of battery, and I had to make do with my 85 IS.

Here are the in-your-face vanity captured on pictures:

(Something about the quality of pictures being a little pixelated when shrunk, don’t know why, but just click on it to enlarge it for clearer view)

And here, she is doing her pout again.

If you are wondering why her hair looks kinda oily, that’s because that very Saturday morning, she had woken up and piled on the Barbie makeup set from a korkor.

And the korkor didn’t realise it is for 6 years and above for reasons like this!

She had put on shades of green, blue, black and purple onto her face, her eyes, and had my parents in stitches cos she looked like… she was all ready for Halloween.

And she had her hair in blue.

So my mum had tried to remove it with baby oil and perhaps had used excess which had stayed on hair even after her shower.

Whoever who had left a copy of Maxim or FHM around, I blame them for the pout, the arch-back poses.

And she rolled onto her back and insisted mummy to take pictures even when I wanted to stop.

Her with the pretty new hairband bought back from Kuala Lumpur.

The raven-hair look.

Hahaha my favourite of the lot that captures her cheekiness and innocence!

Giggles, I have no idea where this came from.

When she still has such flexibility, maybe it is time to get her to dance school or gymnast classes!

Don’t know how to cut the evil looking figure from behind (cos looks very the wrong), but just thought she looks incredibly pretty here. Somemore know how to angle her face to make it look smaller!

Tsk! So… vain.

I think I prefer when I took this picture of the sweet, cheeky lass months ago:

When she hid herself inside a paperbag and I had tried to carry her while making sure the paperbag doesn’t succumb to her weight.

***

Sunday was a rushed affair when she was all dressed and we had to make our way down to a dinner where my half sisters, my niece, my aunt (who was perhaps the closest relative of mine, ever) and my parents all attended since my dad was organising the event.

Making my way to the ballroom, and relentlessly camwhoring.

Err… a bit the OTT with the security measures when we reached.

Besides the bag checks and all, I was pretty amused to see chaps in polo-tees, who are holding on to some hand-held detectors to look for hazardous materials.

It pretty much made sense because the guest of honour was….

There was even an officer inside the kitchen where all the servers got ready.

I used to have a major crush on him okay!

But I can tell you I ain’t the only person who found him incredibly sexy. Even among some friends.

There was this time when he went on stage, Minibean grabbed my camera and insisted I go up to the front to take pictures and she wanna have a closer look.

I didn’t want to cross the boundaries where the suited guards were, but the lil one decided to charge forward with my camera, trying to take a group shot like a little groupie.

Unfortunately this rude, fat body guard was quite impatient, and was quite annoyed with Minibean’s intrusion though his few other cute colleagues were pretty much amused and allowed her to misbehave.

There was this guest who was seated just beside him, when he was on stage, who laughed at Minibean’s antics, and even struck up a conversation about her.

She wanted a picture taken, just when the said guest was up on stage.

And some other pictures of the little miss vainpot!

She wanted to take a picture with every of such cocktail table!

The funniest, yet heartpain-ish part was when she walked into one of them and broke into tears, which quickly subsided when Mummy stole a balloon from one of those flower stands.

Which prompted a little boy to point at her balloon and insisted he too, wanted one. His daddy had no choice but to go to each flower stand to see where I got it from, and the arrangement had one less balloon.

She then wanted pictures with the flowers…

And an awkward pose, looking all reddish with the carpet and all.

Being cheeky and acting cute, like her age, for once.

Her with the tight security behind her.

Minibean with Mummy!

Seriously, I don’t know where all these posing come from hahahaha.

A kiss for the darling.

Okay, less blurrish now.

She just wanted pictures because of the toy fair a floor below.

Chest out, butt out!

When she wanted to be carried off the table.

And a final one to wrap the night.

It was a nice evening. Though she was snatching from my plate, and refused to give up trying with the chopsticks.

Got home and bought more food because we were hungry from the not very satisfying dinner, which bookended the weekend perfectly :)

Sorry babe, that Mummy has been less patient with you as you are crawling through the terror-3s phase, but I will still make it a point to tell you how much I love you everyday, so that you know that you are very much loved, and never be short of mushy, abundant love all around, regardless.

Okay, shall end this post before I get all teary. :)
