Richard Tan's Wedding

Hmm... Another few more hours, I will be attending Richard's wedding at Harbourfront... He told me that he invited a lot of our secondary school classmates and school mates. At this moment, I don't feel like going as I'm afraid that I will think of my cousin, Adrain. =( As most of them are very close to him... I just feel very sad now... Holding on to my tears whenever I think of my cosuin. I have tried not to think of him, but I'm just afraid that when I go to this dinner, I will start to think of him again... =(

What should I do? Should I go or not?

Updates:
Finally I decided to go to Richard's wedding... The moment I reached there, I felt a bit lost and strange as it has been a long long time I didn't met up with my secondary friends... =) After awhile, I felt ok and so happy after knowing that so many of them are happily married and have children in their lives now... Among them I think I'm the last to get married... =) When will it be my turn??? WHEN???... haha... =)

Xmas celebration

Hmm... Didn't really celebrate this Xmas as I feel that it just another normal day of drinking session. =) We celebrating this Xmas at St James, Movida. Nothing special just the same old people that we hang out with... But that night, I got to know Chole's friends.. They are very nice and full of fun too... Makes me laugh and laugh... =)

After Movida, we went to Powerhouse and Dragonfly... Both places are so crowded with people even it already 4am! OMG! I was thinking how come these people they don't want to go home to catch their beauty sleep? keke... =) As for me, how come I'm still outside at that weee hours because Don's friends is still having fun.. But for me, I'm so tired... =)

The time we left the place is about 5plus in the morning, by the time we reached home, its already almost 6am! OMG! The next day I woke up, I saw 'panda eyes'... haha... But lucky I manage to sleep the whole afternoon on Xmas day with nobody disturbing me.. =)

New Year eve will be another round of drinking session if we don't go to kelong for fishing... =)

Early best wishes to everyone out there a Happy 2009 New Year!!!

Kelong Trip - 06-081208

Just came back Kelong trip again, this time we have 24 pax going which mean there are a total of 7 cars driving up to Sibu. =) This is the first time that Don bought so many people up there.

This trip I didn't take much photos as it rain through-out the 3days 2 nights. Rain stop and come... Make me sleep so much for these few days till my dark eye-rings got lighter... Horray!!

Here are some of the pics which we taken:

kind of lost in this tiny world

Somehow, I pretty lost in a way that I have no direction what to do, where to go, what am I doing, etc... It seem like I have lost my sense of belonging in this tiny world and started to hate myself for no reasons. Why am I taking all those pills to control all this? Can I do it without it? I really have no idea on this...

I really want to let go everything but.... Letting it go is not easy at all... It just like accepting something/someone is not easy too if there's an unhappy things that had happen before. I really feel so lost till I really don't know what the hack am I doing?

I'm really very sick and tired of my life... Thought of ending it but I will hurt those people who care and love me...

Can someone please tell me what had happen to me or what should I do?

New buy... ^_^

Hmm... Bought new coach bags again. This time I've asked Marvin and Shirley to get it from me in Vancouver. This time I save about SGD300 for 2 bags! =)

Item 1:

Item 2:

Ho Chi Minh

Reach here yesterday morning... The moment I reached here, I told a taxi to the hotel. The journey from airport to hotel is about 15minutes and cost me about USD6 but end up I'm paying USD10 as the driver does not have any small change for USD. I feel like I'm kana cheated. =( After check-in into my room. I contact Josephine who is Joslene's friend and she willing to bring me around in Ho Chi Minh. So nice of her. =)

I met her for lunch yesterday with her hubby and a friend, and we took me around with their bike. This is my 1st time I'm riding a bike without a helmet. (so shiok) The place they brought me for lunch is a well-known place that sell very nice Zha Chai Fan. They ordered a lot of food to eat and it just cost VND295,000 (SGD29.50). After our lunch we went to 'District 1' for shopping. Finally I have bought the things that I wanted to buy except for the G7 coffee.

Today I have no idea where I want to go but maybe I will visit their museum and do some shopping for some local products. =)

Updates:
Today, I done nothing but sleeping and watching TV in my room as outside is raining heavily and it such a nice weather to sleep too. =) I only went out for my lunch and dinner. This trip, I didn't take any photos except outside view from my room.

Medical Check

Last Friday, I went for my medical check-up. This check-up is sponsor by the company. =) Somehow during this check-up I don't have any confident in it. The feeling just told me that.. And just 5 minutes ago, the doctor called me and told me that my urine test has FAILED due to there's too many blood count in my urine and she said that if this is not cure, it will affect my liver. At that moment, I try to be as cool as I am but I can't... =( I really very worried about myself.

Let see next week as I'm doing my urine test again...

Update: My urine test has failed again... This time the doctor has given me some medication to take but after completion there's no further test to be done... =)

Nice Imaging

PhotoFunia

Got this imaging tool from Sandy's Blog but its about 2 weeks ago. Now then I got the time to play with it. =)

Here are some of my favourites pics. =)

Photo Album: Ian Wee

This photo album is for Ian Wee (Marvin's eldest son)

He asked me to do this album for him as he and Sab loves the album which I made for Kayla. But I feel so bad that I took so long to complete this. =)

My new bag and wallet

Finally I bought my LV Mini Lin Speedy last week. =) I was so happy when I bought this bag.

My another new buy is Coach Hamptons Signature Mini Skinny and Hamptons Signature Tote Capacity Wristlet. =) I got both the same colour as I find its unique and I don't have any colour of it for my bag and coin purse. =) Most important is cheap as these two items was bought in New York... =)

Renovating my Kitchen

Finally last Friday, my contractor has started the work in my kitchen. First, they hack down my wall... When I'm looking at them, the way they tear down my kitchen cabinet and hacking of wall and floor tiles was fast. They just took less than 3 hours to finish everything. But of course it makes my whole house very dusty and messy too. =(

Next, today they are putting sand on the kitchen floor and tomorrow they will be putting wall/floor tiles on it (that was fast right?)... But I heard from my contractor that they need 3 weeks to complete everything but from what I see, I think that they need 2 weeks to complete. =) But what's more important is my mum got a NEW kitchen starting from early November... =)

Family Problems

Hasn't been updating my blog for the past weeks as there's a lot of family problems recently which has given me a lot of headache... Will not disclose what had happen as I find it very shameful to say it out. =(

LV Wallet

During lunch time, Irene called me to go down to Raffles Hotel to buy the LV bag that she wanted to buy and I also finally decided to buy my LV wallet instead of Gucci wallet too... After 7 years without changing one. :-) Come to think about it, it's pretty worth buying a few hundreds dollars of wallet and can use for ages. :-)

Reached the boutique, the same thing I was looking for is the Speedy bag; Irene and Vivian keeping asking me to buy since I like it so much and there's a voucher free for Afternoon Tea for 2 person at Bar & Billard with min. spend of $1,200 in a single recepit too. I don't find that's attracting to me as I keep looking at the Speedy bag. Paying $1,180 for the bag, does it worth it? Hmm... Moreover, I'm asking Yen yen to buy the Coach bag for me from States next week. I think I better have a good consideration before I spending even more these 2 months. :-)

My new buy:

Shopping therapy

After work, went out with Irene, May and Yen yen to Orchard for our shopping therapy cum price checking as Yen yen is leaving to Houston for her business trip and at the same time, we have asked her to buy something from there.

First, we went to Coach to check out our bags and end up they don't have the design we saw on internet.

Secondly, we went to LV to check out our Speedy and Neverfull. At first I wanted to get a Speedy but after seeing Neverfull, I can't make a decision. :-) The price for these two bags are $100 different, of course Speedy cost more. But in terms of size, Neverfull is bigger and can contain more things. :-) After seeing, I have decide to think it over which one to buy... I have asked my mum about it but end up she told me that both also not nice as its too common on the street especially Neverfull. For me, I prefer Speedy as I wanted that so much since the day they launch... No matter how, I think I still have to consider about it. :-)

Lastly, we went to see Gucci to look for my wallet. After looking at my wallet, I feel a bit disappointed as it's not my idea design for overall... I love the interior design and the front of the wallet but after looking at the back of the wallet, I felt dis-hearted as there's a zip coin-pocket behind it. :-( So I have decide to choose back LV to get the design that I wanted.

After visiting all the shops that we wanted to see, we walked over to Paragon to see Prada. By the time, we reached there the shop has closed. We walked out of the place and saw the F1 car. We quickly took out our camera phone to start our snapping... :-)

Nice F1 Car... :-) Guess whose car is this? Its Lewis Hamilton

Babes with the F1 car...

Upgrading at TBH

My house is having upgrading now... Can't imagine that the whole house is so dusty and no hot shower for next 14days... *argh*

First, they are going to hack down both toilets at home (which have done it yesterday) and they have installed a temporary toilet for us in the kitchen. The temporary toilet can only shower and 'do SMALL business' (which have done it yesterday too). If you want to 'do BIG business', you got to go down for the 2nd temporary toilets which located just beside the car park... :-(

After that they will do some tileing for the floor and the wall, follow-by installing new window for the whole house and the main gate as well which all these will takes about 11 days including Saturday.

The moment I reached home last night, I started to sneeze non-stop. Hate that kind of feelings... So terrible... :p After upgrading the toilet, next will be the kitchen as my house kitchen are wore-out which the renovation will takes about a month plus to complete. :-) Will suffer again... *sigh*

But I know after all this renovation and upgrading my house will look very beautiful... :-)

My MD is STRESS...

Looking at my MD a moment ago, I find that he has no more smiling face and has more stress faces on his face for the past few weeks. I know that our department business is bad but we got no choice. Supplier factory shut down, no stocks available, commission rate for next year cut down too, etc... We are facing a lot of problems within these few months yet there's nothing we can do now...

As of today, we checked our figure. We only manage to do about 15% of our target! And our MD started to ask the same questions again and again for the past few weeks. We also answered him with the same answer again and again.

Hopefully end of the month or next month, things will pick up...


Updates on 23 Sep:

This morning, when I step into the office, my boss told me that our sales will be back to normal this week as our supplier factory are back to normal. :-) I think the most happiest person will be my MD as last few weeks he has been very stress of our figures.

Bangkok Dangerous

Last night after my shopping at Whitesand, Don and I decided to go to Downtown East for movie. We went to bought tickets to watch 'Bangkok Dangerous' by Nicholas Cage, Charlie Young and Philip Waley.

Basically I'm very disappointed with this movie. It turns out not the one which I wanted to see... =( The story is crap and sad that Nicholas Cage acted in it...The movie has a slow flow of the plot, minimal violence and gloomy mood. I'm really very disappointed with it.

Friends, if you are Nicholas Cage's fans, please don't go and watch this if not you will be like me (feel disappoined). =(

Kelong Trip - 06-080908

Just came back from Kelong yesterday for a 3D2N trip. This trip the members are Don (our tour leader), Jeremy, Carie, Kellyn, Martin and myself. For Jeremy, Carie, Kellyn and Martin are their 1st time to Kelong.

This trip, our catch are so much better than my last trip as we caught a few 'Big Eye' fish, Kunning, 'Saitoh' and etc... I think I got to eat fish everyday as Don gave me a lot of fish to eat... =)

Come to think about it, in the past I hate to eat fish but after coming to Kelong, I started to eat a lot fish. Maybe Don influence me too as he loves to eat fish. =)

Here's our photos:

Don with the 'Giant' Trevally

Don trying to kiss the Trevally

don't know why they called these fish '黄小姐'

Open: 5pm to 2am (Sun to Thu); 5pm to 3am (Fri & Sat)
The Place: One of the two beach bars at the far end of Pasir Ris Beach Park that are the East side's best-kept secrets. The decor is back-to-basics and the menu and drinks' list are predictable with a mix of Western and local cuisine, beer and a few cocktails. But the chairs and tables on a timber deck just by the sea, this is the perfect place to enjoy a breeze in the evenings.
Factor: The after-work crowd here isn't too shabby.

b) Beach Culture @ Watercross

Address: 131 Pasir Ris Rd (Located near to Elias Rd along Pasir Ris Beach Park to Carpark E)
Open: 530pm to 1am (Mon to Thu); 330pm to 3am (Fri); 1230pm to 3am (Sat); 930am to 1am (Sun)

Instead, you'll find a trendy crowd making merry over a variety of about 20 international beers suck as Hoegarden and Stella Artois. After years of being frustrated with the alcoholic offerings at local coffee shops, owner Alvin Phua opened this joint last August because he believed people "deserved better than plastic tables and plastics chairs". So here, you plant your bottom on rustic furniture amid an atmospheric setting of potted shrubbery and orangehued lamps. If you need a bite, there are proper kopitiam stalls here serving Western, Northern Indian and Thai-Vietnamese food.
Factor: The crowd here has a penchant for the alternative, so you may see some interesting people.

Quiet Office

These few days, weeks or months, my office is so quiet as not much work to do for everyone due to our supplier plantation has shut down for maintenance. When will this going to end? As they are trying to regain the business by this month but seem like they can't. =(

If this going to continue then we afraid that our business for the last quarter will not be able to catch up. =( Then my bonus will be lesser compare to this year and our hope to hokkaido will not be able to fullfill. =)

My Health

Last night, I couldn't sleep at all as this morning I'm going for my medical check up which I have fixed it 2 months ago. This time, I need to do 2 scan. One is viginal scan and the other is my womb. I'm doing this scan as my viginal bleed at times.

When I reached the hospital, I'm so scared. Don't have the appetite to have any food at all. I, register myself at the counter, then the nurse told me to wait outside the scanning room. I sat there myself and waited for about 45mins for my turn. (At that time my hands feel so cold wish there is someone accompanying me.) I stayed in the room for about 30mins to do all the scan. After finished, I asked the doctor how's everything? She just told me that everything is fine but I still need to see my gyane so that she can explain more about it. After taking my report, I went over to see my gyane.

She told me that everything seems fine except I have some light shadow near my womb. When I heard it, I asked her. What's the shadow? Is it something bad or not? Is it that shadow which causes me to bleed at times? She can't answer me, all she answered me was my viginal is fine and maybe is my homo changes which causes the bleed. As for the shadow, she wants me to go back to see her after 6 months.

After I left the room, I started to think wild as I'm afraid it's a cancer cell... As I know, cancer cell is started from a light shadow from there, they will grow into cell.

I'm really started to get worried... I don't whether should I tell my mum about this if she happens to ask me later... =(

My New Blog...

Finally I started with this new blog as my friends has been complaining to me that they can't leave me a message from my previous blog. =)

Welcome everyone!!!

Friends, now you can leave me message! =)
