Have yourself a Merry Christmas...

My apologies for the long hiatus! As of this entry onwards, all updates will be on this blog so its goodbye to wordpress!
What i've been doing while not blogging: movies, work, shopping, & pigging out. All the usual stuff i've always been doing. I watched Bolt and Yesman - both were pretty good but i especially love animation (i call them cartoons). Didn't catch the 3D version though, cuz i felt the tix were kinda pricey & not worth paying just for the so-called 3D effects. Yesman was both a feel-gd/comedic movie, & i enjoyed it cuz i felt it motivated me to be more positive abt life. But dun say yes because u have to, say it bcuz u want to!
Last Fri was the last stint for the Diageo Guardian Angel anti-drinkdriving campaign & its been both tiring & fulfilling. Our ambassador this year - Denise Keller - pitched in to help us spread the msg as well. Here r some photos taken from the week before:

I honestly thought it was really cool of her to come along with us instead of just being the type of ambassador who only pays lip service without doing anything concrete. Her presence alone added some 'star quotient' to our campaign, so hopefully it helped to get ppl to sit up & take notice of the importance of responsible drinking.
I also bumped into Sam whilst out doing the anti-drinkdriving roving & i was SOOooo happy to see her! Haven seen her in such a long time since she graduated from NUS & got a fulltime job. I still rem the many events i did with her - including last year's anti-drindriving campaign where she was also an angel. Me & Sam:

I really missed the girl & the fun we had while working as well as the shopping sprees we went on. We even visited 4 diff Mango outlets @ Orchard rd during their sale once! Haha those were the days...
We had some Xmas cake at the office on the last night of the campaign. The cake was so pretty i just had to take a snapshot of it:

So cute right?! In the shape of a red gitftbox complete with gold ribbon & it tasted yummy too. The cake felt like a great treat after ending a long campaign on a late night. Gonna miss working with everyone though - Gary, Patience, Shino, Alfian & Christine & even the peeps like Audrey & Angel from Lumina, the events company in charge.
Somewhere along the week i was out with Mr. X & we decide to stop for coffee @ Spinelli's. I ordered a caramel latte (anything with caramel goes for me) & my coffee was so pretty! They used caramel to create a flower on the froth on top of my coffee:

Haha! It's so sweet. Too bad i had to drink it & ruin such a nice piece of work.
Moving on to more food pictures:

Mr. X told me abt this waffle factory place @ Paya Lebar Post Centre where u pay $8.80 & u get to eat-all-u-want waffles. Since i was in the area shopping with my sis, i decided to give it a try. I was even lucky enough to get a table immediately & the scent of the waffles was really inviting! I wanted to eat 8 waffles but in the end i was stuffed after finishing my 6th waffle. I had the durian, oreo, strawberry choc, kaya, fruit loops & nacho cheese flavors & i really wanted their butter corn waffle, but it was sold out. Disappointing! I paid for a buffet yet i didn't get to eat the flavor i really wanted. A word of warning though: the other food items on their menu really sucked. I had a really bland chocolate float & a really crappy shittaki mushroom spaghetti. Their pasta sauce was so bad even i could cook something better out with a bottle of prego sauce.
Me sinking my 1st bite into the oreo waffle:

BHD (Bad Hair Day)! I was actually wearing a cap the whole time - just that i removed it to snap this pic haha.
Xmas time is near! I kinda found something i'd really like for Xmas so it's now on my wishlist:

The actual pendant i want is not this but this is the closest item i could find on their online catalouge. My object of desire is in a heart shape engraved with 'i love you' all over which i saw in Vivi magazine. I love Tiffany & Co. stuff but i honestly think its too extravagant for me. I still consider myself a relatively down-to-earth person & these things? I can do without:)
Have yourself a merry Xmas everyone! Be with the ones u love & those who love u.

I seriously think some ppl can be so selfish, rude & blardy inconsiderate & one of these types of ppl r queue-cutters. I hate them the MOST out of all the different types of irritating ppl u can find & I hate them with a vengeance & i always curse & swear at such idiots whenever they try & 'cut queue'. I know ur in a rush & u hate having to wait but so does everyone else so what makes u special?! Do i look like i have nothing better to do and so i join a queue just to let u cut in front of me for fun? Do i look like a blardy pushover?

I was waiting behind this elderly malay 'macik' for a cab when this stupid lady appeared in front of us and started pretending to be engrossed in her phone conversation whilst she flagged for a cab. She simply pretended to be so engrossed in talking that she did not see me or the macik who's been waiting for a cab for quite a while under the hot afternoon sun. I was damn pissed off that i shouted at her 'wa lao! ch*b*i cut queue!' & for a moment i could tell i startled her as she got her fat arse into the cab. It's bad enough that she cut my queue, but at least she shd have given consideration to the macik who has been waiting for quite long. But obviously such ppl lack consideration for others cuz they're plain rude & selfish. Morons.

Anyway on to my daily updates. Had a job briefing on Wed for this year's anti-drink driving campaign & it was like a reunion of sorts. Almost everyone who did the last campaign were present - Gary, Shino, Ian & Patience & i'm so happy that we'll all be working together again! If anyone can recall, we were a bunch of 'angels' who went around different nightspots spreading the msg that 'if u drink, dun drive.' The wings this yr would be smaller, which is a gd thing for us, since i kept bumping into things with my wings the last time haha. Didn't really like the dress though, cuz it's shapeless & the belt they provided just looked abit 'off' with the dress. But at the end of the day what matters most is to spread the word abt responsible drinking. Not to sound preachy or 'elitist' here, but i really am TOTALLY against drink driving & drink-drivers are another kind of ppl that i abhor cuz if u dun treasure ur life, at least pay heed to other ppl who want to live their lives.

Then it was a movie on Thurs. Went to catch 'Tropic Thunder' & it was pretty farnee. Lame but farnee I like :P The fake trailers they made in the show were hilarious & Tom Cruise's cameo was great. I didn't recognise him until halfway thru & i think he was fantastic even though he was fat & hairy & he had really bad dance moves :D Also managed to satisfy my craving for Thai Express & Crystal Jade porride on the same day too! *YUM* Now i feel like eating prawn noodles from Geylang...

Only one more week to go & its back to sch...ugh! Can i dun go??? =/

Been kinda slow with my updates recently...due to work+friends+shopping+flu-_-"

Spent almost the whole of yesterday in bed sleeping off the flu bug. My throat was already acting up on Sat but the flu only started when i woke up on Sun. The first thought that came to my mind was 'sh*t.can't go jogging again...' cuz i've been getting lazy & i really want to kickstart my usual jogging routine before i get too comfortable & stop exercising altogether. Arghhhh.....fats can't wait!

Had a shoot on Fri for a certain magazine. Shall not disclose all the details til later. I felt a little intimidated at first cuz all the other models i saw were 'ang-mohs' but i soon got over my apprehensions as the stylist and makeup artist were real friendly ppl. I really love what they did to my hair!


The curls rock! So different from my straight hair but it's a hassle to use the curling tong if i want to create this hairstyle. I'm too lazy :P

The shoot went smoothly & thus finished earlier than i had anticipated so i was able to meet my sis for a shopping spree afterwards. Felt like super long ago since i went shopping as well as hung out with my sis & it was a 'fruitful' trip haha...if u get what i mean.

Was supposed to meet Mr. X for a movie on thurs but he cancelled on me cuz he came down w a cold+mild fever. I was super disappointed cuz i was almost all ready to leave my place & then it was all for nothing. I called dusk to complain...actually it was more like to scream at him cuz i couldn't scream at someone who was sick so i could only vent my disappointment & frustration at someone else. Poor dusk. But i'm really appreciative that he always listens to my crap & for pointing out the error of my ways when i overthink things & become irrational. Anyway i went out on my own later cuz i had an appt @ Pink Parlor then i went shopping which successfully detracted me from my earlier unhappiness.

Met up with Liping on Wednesday for dinner when she finished work. Poor girl. She's always so busy with work now that i rarely get to see her! We had Pizza Hut and then we went to walk around Tampines Mall...it's surprising how we girls can still find things to buy when we're just 'walking around' haha :D As usual she likes to bug me abt my 'status' with Mr. X but my answer remains the same because i'm still not ready to commit myself YET cuz i have alot of issues & baggage & i dun wish to complicate things by jumping the gun.

Last but not least, my hamsters had babies again! My mom is like a 'breeder' for hamsters now cuz they just keep reproducing every 3 weeks or so...after which we pass them on to my uncle who sells them @ his aquarium shop, but only after they grow bigger first.


This is just how tiny they are....soooooo cute right?!



Anybody who's interested in buying these hamsters can drop me a msg, cuz my uncle sells them much cheaper than Pet Safari (they sell @ $20). Only animal lovers pls! Cuz i know of some ppl who rear snakes & buy the hamsters as food for the reptiles & i do not want that happening to my babies!

Still in the process of making changes to the layout of this blog & yes, i am extremely fickle & it obviously shows from the changing of the skins, color, font that i keep making so far>.< Dusk commented that the previous 'Hello Kitty' skin was a tad too cutesy (which i agree) and i'm kinda happy with this pink & black color theme since it's one of my fave color combi ( SO Avril Lavigne & i happen to like her!!!). I adore the skulls & crossbones design too haha.

Bear with me peeps! More updates soon i promise!

Just came back from the chalet & it did turn out pretty well after all, despite the fact that only Winnie & i went. We had a great time gossiping & bitching with Candice as well as Vanessa (who came later @ abt 10pm) and before we knew it, it was already 1am & we almost didn’t want to leave. We had to cuz Vanessa had sch + presentation in the morning the next day.

There was also a magician at the chalet & he obviously entertained us with alot of tricks. If not for him the chalet might have been a lil’ boring & i admit his tricks were pretty good cuz try as i might, i just can’t SEE how he did it He ended his ‘performance’ at ard 10pm and that was when Winnie, Candice and me started talking away, and Vanessa who joined us later when she came.

We talked abt our jobs, the hazards of getting stalked by weird ‘fans’, we talked abt fortune telling & horoscopes, we talked abt men and our relationship issues & alot of other stuff that i can’t list them all here…but everytime i tell ppl MY story, MY experience, i feel almost like i’m reliving a nightmare, like i’m digging open my old wounds and making myself vulnerable again.

I dun want to sound like a sad case here, but nobody can really know how bad it was. Maybe to other ppl it’s just a relationship that turned sour, it’s not as if someone died or something, but i did feel that something died that day. A part of me really really died. Everytime i relate my experience i get teared up and choked up and the pain i went thru would well up in me again. I can still remember the details so clearly, each word that i said and he said, every moment he disappointed me again and again until i finally come to realise that HE will never change and i have to learn to let go. I showed them the faint physical scars that remained and it felt like the emotional scars hadn’t quite gone away too.

He turned me into a jaded cynic who can never afford her trust & faith in anything anymore. I know i was the one who misplaced my love & faith on someone who can never reciprocate even a little so this is a lesson he taught me and in a twisted way, i guess maybe i shd thank him for teaching me a life lesson i’ll never forget. After all, what doesn’t kill u is supposed to make u stronger right?

*Because of u i never stray too far from the sidewalk, because of u i learn to play on the safe side so i dun get hurt. Because of u i try my hardest just to forget everything, because of u i dunno how to let anyone else in. Because of u i’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty, because of u i am afraid…because of u*

I'm supposed to go for a chalet gathering later on, but i'm somewhat not as enthused abt going now that June said she's not going cuz of exams-_-' *sigh* Hopefully it'll still be fun if the other gals turn up as well.
Mr. X bought me some stuff from his recent trip to Taipei, the usual fattening stuff such as chocolates and the local tidbits...plus THIS!



"Growl!! Stay away or i'll bite!"

My new sleeping 'partner', in addition to my bolster & fave beanbag :P

It's some character called 'domokun' or something...i've nvr seen or heard of this creature before & it's supposed to look menacing but i told Mr. X it looks like poop cuz it's dark brown in color haha! I decided to rename it Chomp Chomp cuz its teeth looks like it's ready to chomp on something & X commented that it's similar to me - cuz i like to bite ppl! :P
I also got Mr. X to buy me some skincare products while he was there, cost me like 150bucks for just the moisturising serum & eye gel so they had better be good for my skin! I really wanna fly to Taipei myself for a holiday...i wanna eat & shop, eat & shop~

*sometimes i run, sometimes i hide, sometimes i'm scared of u. But all i really want is to hold u tight, treat u right, be with u day & night...baby all i need is time*
