One down three to go...

Woke up ard 8.40am as I was supposed to meet up with my dearies at 10am at Tanjong Pagar MRT Station but I was so tired that I lazed in bed longer than expected... kekeke... :P in the end took a cab down to meet them and was 30min late... Ah rene was oredi there waiting even though she was 15min late... hehehe... :) den we waited for boss to come... :)

We then headed for brunch at the market and den headed down to the salon to get out hair done... I'm glad the 3 of us finished almost the same time... or rather ah rene was done 1st and then winnie and I about the same time...

I'm pleased with the end results of the rebonding... we started around 11.30am or so and left the place slightly after 3.30pm... 4 hours is the norm I take in a salon whenever I rebond/color my hair... kekek... this time round I didnt rebond the whole head cos the stylist, Peggy, said that the lower half of my hair was still very straight and then I should jus do the top part... I agreed to that as I didnt want to much chemicals on my head since I was oso gonna be coloring my hair :)

The rebonding and treatment was good but I'm a tiny winy bit disappointed with the color cos it didnt turn out the color it was supposed to be. I tink it's bcos the color wasnt left long enaf cos I know my hair takes a longer time to absorb. Instead of becoming a very dark shade of purple, it turned out brownish with a tinge of purple... :( but at least it beats having light brown hair anytime... :)

All in all, there was good company, lots of discussions and laughter while gettin our hair done :) I tink I might go back to do some hair treatment next time, if there is kakis la... if not den i'll jus go back to Rebecca to do treatment... :)

After that we headed down to Raffles City as Serene wanted to look for a red top and Winnie wanted to get her brows plucked... As Winnie only managed to book an appt at Bobby Brown at 5.30pm, we walked around looking for Serene's top... my my my... tis girl can be very fussy... kekeke... while walking at Dorothy Perkins, I came across this top that I kinda like and could match it with my 3/4 pants I bought the other day. So while Winnie had her brows done, Serene accompanied me back to DP so that I could give the top a try...

After 2 rounds of tryin, and being me, as I couldnt decide which color to get, I decided to get both since there was a 15% discount for payment under OCBC card... TSK!!! Who's supposed to look for a top and who ended up buyin sia... hahaha... Anyway~ this is the top that I bought and in 2 colors that no one has ever seen me in or expect that I will get... actuali purple have la but rarely n not in such a bright shade... kekeke... :) Tis year I tink I will HUAT big big liao... cos I'm buying clothes tat is SO not me and to top it up, the red top will make me look like a red chai ki walking around... hahahah... :)



As we were all famished, Serene recommended this steamboat place, Raja Inn, located at Tiong Bahru Plaza... kekeke... it's value for money... and I find much beta than Chong Qing~ kekeke... it's cheaper, has free flow of ice lemon tea/barley/lime and there is even desert... CHOCOLATE FONDUE!! YuMmY!!! We we so full that Winnie had a headache... kekeke... :)

Wat more can I ask for, great company + great food and each of us onli had to pay $23.50... Tink I'll go there one day with Garry and anyone who likes steamboat as much as me... :) Thanks to Winnie and Ah Too for a lift to Jurong East Mrt Station :) Heheh... Kinda sad that it's almost the end of the day and it's back to work tmw :( but good thing is that there's CNY to look forward to and I'll be happier cos I'll be on a long break... Took leave on Chu San and Chu Si so onli need to return on Fri... hehehe...

Well... now that my hair's done, there's jus 3 more things to prepare before CNY... that's to get my pedi done tmw, mani done on fri and supervise the bathin of Toby & Tamy on Sunday before we head off for our reunion dinner on Sunday nite... :) Hmm... I've yet to think of wat color to do my nails in... Hopefully I'll be able to decide by tomorrow... :)

Busy like a bumble bee.... :)

I would think that this weekend is the busiest weekend I've had since Christmas~ So many things to get n prepare but within such a short period of time... weekend was even shorter as I was working on Sat and could only start looking for CNY clothes after OT.

After OT, I went with Angie and Jessica to BHG to get... our TAMAGOTCHI!!!



Hahaha.... there is a latest version of Tamagotchi in the market that allows u to keep 3 pets at a time and u can even infrared to play games or get married!! Wats more, u can even send yr pets for holidays... hahaha... we decided to switch the device on at the same time together but as we each had to choose our own unique 5-letter family which is unchangeable, we decided to tink and choose wisely and switch it on on tues when i return to work... we can be so bo liao at times.... next to psycho to get this is Priya... :) hiak hiak hiak...


Anyway, I met up with Garry at Cityhall on sat and we made our way to MSQ and to 1 shop in particular :) I've been getting clothes from this shop a few times apart from shopping at Robinsons and Marks and Spencer... hehehe... It's a joy being able to find clothes that you like and that can fit you :)

My intention was to browse through the shop to see wat new buys they had and didnt expect myself to leave that place with 2 bags and $430 poorer... hehehe.... I must say apart from the jeans, the rest of the stuff I bought is not something that I would usually buy not to mention wear... kekeke... :) Hopefully, it'll not make me look weird... hehehe... these are my stash from the shopping spree on sat... :)

Imagine!~ I managed to find shoes in my feet size even at this shop... :)



I bought this black 3/4 pants cos I felt the cut looked reali nice on me... kekek... doesnt emphasise much of my elephant thighs... :) Had no intention of gettin jeans initially and this was like the last piece of item i tried and decided to get after spending almost 2 hours at that shop decidin on my other buys :)



Next, comes these 2 tunics... kekeke... :) I had been looking at the one with flower prints the minute i walked into the shop... somehow something abt tt top keeps grabbin my attention. Had no intention of gettin tt in the 1st plc cos its so unlike me... Flowers? White frilly lace? 3/4 sleeve?

In the end I decided to jus give it a try together with the jeans (tried the top with leggins at first and i couldnt stop laffin... 1st time i wore leggins n I felt like Robinhood Men in Tights) It looked kinda funny to me initially and made me look fatter cos of the frills at the bottom as well as the A-line cut... thankfully, the lady boss (Joanne) suggested that I try it on with a belt and she helped me adjust everythin and after awhile, it didnt look that bad... I Hope~ hahah.... :)

I also kept looking at the black tunic with mandarin collar... I decided to give it a try and felt that this top was able to carry 2 looks... formal n semi casual depending on wat u wear it with... the material is reali cooling too... which is why though its long sleeve, I decided to get it as well... hahaha... :)



This next top caught my eye the min I walked into the shop and it's one of the 1st items I tried during my 2 hrs there... It's satin and has a lace border around the base of the blouse... another so not me top rite... kekek... gave it a try together with the 3/4 pants and it looked so so at 1st... but as the top was very loose, it once again made me look fatter... hehee... Joanne said to try it with the belt... and WAHLA!! It looked better. In fact, it reali made alot of difference... This became the 1st item on the list... :P



This last piece is a shocker!!~ To me and everyone else... my 1st DRESS!!! Hahaha... :)



Can U imagine, apart from my school uniform n my wedding gown, I've never owned a dress... and for this to be my 1st one is a real shocker... why? Thought it's in black (which is the color that I tend to get clothes in most of the time), it's shocking bcos it has sequins, satin and most of all LACE!!! For a person who doesnt like Lace, there is a hell of a lot of lace for this dress... hahahah... :P But smehow, I like how it looks... and though its so formal and i know i wont have many opportunities to wear it, I decided to get it still... hehehe.... :)

A closer look at THE dress... hahaha.... :)



And so, these are my buys on sat... :) some of which I will be using for CNY :)



After that I met up with the girls for dinner and to celebrate Grace's bday at Pearl River Palace... the food I must say was good... the fish and prawns are delicious.... basically everything was good... even the desert... :) I hitched a lift from Lian Hoon back to Hougang to fetch Tommy and to get the car since he was goin for grooming with Toby & Tamy today...

Decided to go for car wash as the car was so dirty... kekeke... Tommy's 1st car wash experience... he looked kinda scared, worried but curious at the same time... :)






We brought all 3 of them for grooming this morning. Was supposed to be there by 11am cos our appt was at 11am, 12 and 1pm but as there was a chain accident involving 4 cars along PIE jus before the TPY exit, we were slightly late. Reached RPP around 11.20am and saw Emma being groomed by marc at that time. Tt girl was so cute, she was shivering on Marc's table and kept turning to look at us tinking that it was her mummy... kekek...

I left instructions with Chris on how I wanted them groomed... Tommy will have a shave down leaving only 3mm of fur since his fur grows super fast. For Toby, I wanted Marc to retain his eye lashes and the length of the tip of his eyebrow, shave the top short and try to retain the volume on Toby's legs as well as maintain the length of his skirting as I wanted to grow it back to how it used to be when we 1st went to RPP.... the lang sai legs n long flowy skirting... regreted changin groomers back then... *siGh* As for Tamy, apart from hafin the exact same cut as Toby, I wanted Marc to even out her eye lashes as 1 side has no more lashes (it smehw disappeared).

While waiting for Chris to update their card, I turned to see hw he groomed emma's leg... :) Marc had to stop a couple of time to talk to her n tell her that it wasnt her mummy who was watchin her... kekek... after everything, we left for lunch and to buy CNY goodies... while we were almost done getting the boxes of oranges and goodies, Chris called us ard 2.30pm to say that all 3 of them would be ready in an hours time... so off we went to send my MIL and her barang barang home, before bringin back our stuff and den back to RPP to fetch the furries... as always, I'm happy with the end results for all 3 of them... :) and the 3 of them were happy to see us once again...

A pic of Toby and Tamy taken a few days ago before they went for grooming... :)



And this is how they look like now... pics dun do justice cos i was using my HP to take the pics as I was too lazy to get the cam... :P also cos they were playing and the fan was blowing tt's why they look kinda messy... Promise to take better pics of them soon... in their CNY clothes :)




It's been a very long and tiring day for me today, I've been out since 10.30am this morning running errands and doing so many things... there wasnt any rest at all... so much buying to prepare for the coming CNY... I'm glad that I'll be on leave tmw... doing my hair with my 2 kakis... I still cant decide wat color I should do... Hmm... guess I'll decide later bah~

Next week will be a busy week too... apart from my hair appt tmw, there is pedi on tue nite and mani on fri nite... tsk tsk~ didnt manage to book a slot to do both mani n pedi this time round so have to spilt it into 2 sessions... but I'm ok with this since pedi normally lasts longer than mani anyway... kekeke... I guess Garry will have to bath the furries on sun while i supervise this time round... wouldnt wanna spoil the mani before CNY... kekeke.... :) Gotta get some rest liao... meeting my kakis at 10am... dun wanna be late... hahah... :)

What a headache it was....

In my previous post, I said that I decided on Toby & Tamy's CNY apparel and even confirmed getting it... well... things didnt turn out as I expected. I was informed yesterday that there had been a mistake and that there wasn't any Size 4 left for the Gold Furry Kua... Oh My!~ Imagine my disappointment man :(

Thea and I decided on this Kua and we were disappointed that there wasnt any stock left... we had to look for an alternative... as I didnt reali fancy the other costumes much, I decided to let Toby re-use his old CNY outfit from last year again...

This was wat Toby was going to use...



I didnt want to get the Red Furry Cheongsum cos it defeated the purpose if Toby didnt have a similar outfit and so ,I decided to get a similar outfit for Tamy to match his blue one and this was to be the replacement. Not as nice as the 1st set but wat the heck...



As Thea also couldnt get her hand on the Gold Furry Kua, she finally decided to get this for Fluffy... :)

After all the disappointments, headaches and decisions I had to make the whole of yesterday and today, I received an sms from the seller this evening while I was having my dinner. She said that she miraculously found a Size 4 Gold Fury Kua amidst her stock and asked if I wanted it!!! AAArrrggghhhhahahahaha.... :)

OMG!! Imagine how excited, shocked and happy I was at the same time man~ Even though I had oredi paid for the red top for Tamy, I decided to go ahead and grab the Furry Kua N Cheongsum as well... hahaha... :) Jus bcos I reali liked it so much and that it's hard to find nice CNY clothes for them... kekekek... I'm jus so happy... the good new reali made my day!!~ :) Hehehe....

Well... tat's wats making me happy n forgettin how sucky the Tengkat food is... Check out what I had for dinner the yesterday and earlier today... :(


Wednesday's Dinner - Brown color rice with abit of lup ching n tiny bits of chicken, some kind of bitter vege and some pork.... : Oh and there was Cheng Tng which is still sitting in the fridge...




This was wat I had today... Bitter gourd soup, Hot dog in tomato sauce, Egg omelette and Cai xin... Bleah~ boring cheapo food... not even worth $10...




Judging from the kind of food I've been having the last 4 days, I decided to meet up with Zhi after work tomorrow and she'd be bringin me for some Korean cuisine... YuMMY!! Kim Chi here I come... kekeke... Garry's going to his colleague's plc for a mini house-warming... so tmw's food would be left hanging outside till we get back... I wouldnt worry too much cos I'm pretty sure it's nothing fantastic tt will blow your mind away...


I'm jus hoping for next week to be done so that we dun have to continue with the Tengkat Service from Neo Garden... probably try another one... Any recommendations pple? Anyone tried nice n reasonable priced Tengkat service? Let me know ya... hehehe... One things for sure, one can order the buffet from Neo Garden but NEVER their Tengkat service...

Happie Happie Happie... :)

Well... the day started well... more so becos yesterday ended well.... why? Cos I received good news from Angie... :) She msged me slightly after 10.30pm and said "Hey Godma-to-be! It's fonna be a girl :) Woo hoo~ :) I read her message and couldnt help feeling happy and excited at the same time. Not only becos her 2nd baby is a GIRL but bcos I'm gonna be her Godma... YeAh!!! :) Hehehe...

Angie wanted a girl and now she's been blessed with one... We were all hoping that it'll be a girl too though each time she asks me I'll always say it'll be a boy.... ahahaha.... :) Anyway, congrats mummy... Now we can start shopping for girly things liao... kekeke... OopS~

Another thing that's made me happy today is that I've finally decided to get a new set of CNY clothes for my 2 babies instead of getting only for Tamy since Toby has his blue kua from last year... :) After much dilemma, between this pink cheongsum and another cheongsum, I've decided to get matching outfits for the both of them....

Though I like this pink cheongsum, I felt that it won't match Toby Gold Kua... not grand enaf... kekeke... :P



In the end, I've decided to get this set of CNY Apparels for the kids for this year... :) Hehehe...



And becos Thea would be tagging her order with mine, I will get FOC delivery of the apparels. The schedule is kinda hectic for them and they would only be able to come over to our place on 24th Jan at 2pm for the fitting... But its ok with me since she'll be bringing 1 size smaller and 1 size bigger jus in case the sizing doesnt fit... hehehe... YiPPy!!~ :) So looking forward to get my hands on their clothes on the 24th... :)
