Happy NIU year!

New blog skin for a "Niu" year!!

It’s 初五 today!
Tonight meeting "fruities" for Dinner at Imperial Treasure! Yummy.. heard many ppl had already lao-ed their yu-sheng.. me not yet once lor! Tonight is 1st time of the "niu" year…

This year I’m so caught up with housework, got no time to go medi/pedi lor.
Saw all my friends and colleagues’ nails so nice, envious *_*

3rd day at work… a piece of me still have not come back yet.
Just like a mechanical pencil with the pencil lead, cannot write leh…><"’
2 more months to Honeymoon Europe!!! Jiayou jiayou!

Tomoro is yet another day of celebration – with lotsa frens coming over to play cards! Exciting… my first try at gambling luck this "niu" year. Rooster is supposed to have good luck this year, I heard…. And many of the Goats I know have been losing $$, and so was being said by the fortune-tellers on TV. Bad year for Goats.

Been sneezing since last night.. kaoz.. left nostril stuck like mad.
I can’t breathe… ... help!!!
Wana go home rest now… can? (just another excuse to not work lar)

Oh yah.. to follow up from previous post.. As expected, this year’s Pop question is "Pregnant already not? When you planning for 1st one?" I even had cousins so ludicrous, placed their baby boys on my bed and said things like "must let baby boys sleep on ur bed, then will give birth to boys lor…" I bet that’s another excuse to use my damn comfy Sealy mattress lor!

Went to see BB Kayden last sat.. he was so adorable. Eyes bright bright and also a high nose bridge. As wat Apple’s hb also says, he will train him to be a playboy next time, so I better give birth to a girl! Hahaha… Dangerous move, need to think twice.

This year not much ang pows to take.. only less than 5 from relatives who insisted on giving us.. and our companies’ kai-gong ang pows and a pleasant surprise from one of the guys who always visits our office. My immediate superior never give me lor, super neow man. Like I said, if there is a Chinese Zodiac for Cats, I bet he belongs there.

Nuff said….

Everyone, Huat AR!!!

恭喜发财！新年快乐！万事如意！

Lunar New Year's round the corner... 3 more days in fact!
Wish all you ppl "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and for this year "Good luck and embrace ur jobs"!

Boss just declared tmr off... sadz!
Cuz i need to work alternate sats and tomorrow is actually my work day, which means next week no need to work and going down the calendar… I will have 6 long weekends to enjoy! But now since the shift is being pushed down… SHIT! All my long weekends becomes short weekends liao. %^)($*(@#_$*(^


We dun usually get bonus "half days off" except for recent months… since all the celebrations and buffets have been dispensed with, due to the economic crisis. Oh well, hopefully the company’s ang pow will not "giu-zwee" this year.. I remember getting $100 for CNY "start work ang pow" last year.

Sighz, this year no ang pow to collect from relatives..
here’s a shout-out for them: "Hey u lucky people! This year no need to bao ang pow for me, damn shiok hor u people!!!!"

Was discussing abt Ang pow money with my ex-colleagues during our meet up recently. 3 of us got married last year so this year is our 1st year distributing (sarcastically used here) ang pows.. We were talking about how much did we prepared in total.. And M actually said $1K!! Im like…. Wah!!!!" I duno abt my own.. hubby prepared all…

Last night was hubby's birthday.. brought him to Restaurant Ember at Keong Saik Road.
The food was nice.. not that FANTASTICALLY good lar.. but all the raves and reviews abt that place gave me high expectations, which they just managed to hit.
We had Pan-fried Foie Gras, Angel Hair Pasta for appetisers, Black cod and Chilean seabass for main, and Apple Tartin + Vanilla ice-cream and Banana Tart + Lavender ice-cream for desserts.
Read from reviews that the Lavender ice-cream taste like shampoo, but for me.. its more like Aromatherapy Oil ><'"
Total spending is $165.00, its abt 20% cheaper than Vis-a-Vis at Bukit Timah.. but we both agreed that Vis-a-Vis has nicer food. Ambience wise, Ember is stronger and more romantic.

Hubby and I have been into French Cuisine lately.. You can call us Foie Gras Connoiseurs already!

Sian... no mood to work!!! Too looking forward to CNY! Huat aR!!!

Happy new year everyone!

Life is as such....

Counting down 5 more days to Chinese New Year…

One of my buddies msned me something a few days ago "we are turning 28 this year already… how? So sad."

Well, I simply replied her "compared to ppl our age, without a boyfriend or partner, you are married with a house.. do you really think u r sad?"

She got my point. *_*

Actually, me too.. can’t accept the fact that we are in our late 20s already!
It feels like yesterday when we were just celebrating our 21st birthday!!!
I even found the birthday card the gals gave me for my 21st birthday.
A card 7 years ago! Can u imagine?

Gone were the days we just worry abt having not enough "pocket money" to buy our stuffs.
Gosh, why I reminiscing good old times here?
I must be really getting old liao…

Back to CNY.
Luckily this year I kiasu.. already bought 2 pink dresses.
Dun wana be like previous years.. last minute cannot find anything I like then simply just grab and end up didn’t wear those clothes a 2nd time!

Went to Queensway shopping centre last weekend to amend O’s new Levis Jeans which he bought at $50 discount from their "Trade-in your old jeans" promo.
Ended up, as we were waiting to collect his jeans.. I also bought 2 jeans with immediate alteration services.

I thought that salesgal looks like Becky, so felt a sense of warmth when she encouraged me to buy those 2.

I have been quite a shoppaholic recently, just trying and paying for clothes I think looks "ok" on me.

Dirt.

I better stop before my wardrobe burst!

While ppl are busy cleaning their floor, walls, cupboards, dirt etc…
I spent most of my time unpacking my new clothes and throwing out the old and "worn-less-than-2 times" clothes.
Bad Bess, Baaaaad.

Why do I have ppl telling me I lost weight and put on weight at the same time???
Isn’t that quite funny… Whose words should I take?
The weighing machine did not take sides.
Im still like that leh.. same size same shape.

Most ppl are worried about eating too much CNY goodies and mayb put on weight after CNY, but do u know what’s the biggest worry?
Dun you think its funny?
Relatives never stop asking questions.. since the day u were born.

When we were kids:
"How’s your PSLE results?"

When we were teenagers:
"Got boyfren/girlfren already?"

When we were adults (single):
"Why still no bf? Faster go and find lar"
[this question will pop up every year without fail until the day they see ur partner]

When we were adults (attached):
"When getting married?"
At weddings… "When is your turn?"
[this question will also live on until the day u tie the knot]

BUT… still not the end of story…

After marriage:
"When giving birth???"
And the relatives will recycle this question until the day u get pregnant.. not all.
it will be followed by..
"When’s the next baby?"!!!!!!

After that… the cycle from question no. 1 will repeat itself.

What question will I be getting this year?

Stay tuned.
