Chinatown Shopping

与仕源在一起的日子：第1210天

We started this ‘practice’ of visiting Chinatown before Chinese New Year 2 years back. This year we went back to Chinatown again for some CNY shopping and to immerse ourselves in the festive mood.

Even though CNY is just 5 days away it feels rather like any other normal day. The whole CNY affair is not as grand as those days when I was a kid. People placed more emphasis on CNY those days but now the whole festive mood is gradually slipping to none.

It’s all about a whole new year and starting afresh. People buy new clothes, new shoes, new bedsheets and new pajamas to welcome the new year.

I love everything about CNY except Springcleaning!!! I don’t have to do that much though, yesterday I clear all my 3 cupboards with help of Darling. Seriously I don’t think my wardrobe can fit anymore clothes, I can’t find anything in it anymore, all the clothes are so packed together

And yet I’m always complaining I do not have clothes to wear!

Bags and shoes too, overwhelming.

I really need a big and organized wardrobe for my shoes, bags and clothes.

Darling and I managed to take a short nap before we had to get ourselves ready for Chinatown.
Took a cab because we were running late but still late due to a jam. Darling didn’t want to drive because of the crowd, be it cars or humans.

Went to Chinatown Food Street for dinner. Alot of stalls were closed though perhaps due to the high rental.

Followed Sis to the tour agency to book the package to Genting first.

Somehow Ben always managed to be in the pictures.

Than we went for dinner.

Despite alot of stalls closed, we ordered quite abit of food. Char kuay teow, satays, sambal sotongs, desserts, ‘gong gong’, ‘ah balling’ (don’t know how to spell this).

After filling up our tummy we were really to hit the crowds.
And it’s indeed packed!

Everything’s just like last year, the same stalls and the same crowd. We got similar things as well. The mochis, cuttlefish, nuts etc…
But this time round we got ALOT of mochis, worth S$30 and that’s really ALOT okay.
Just simply grab only. Haha.

The same ‘magic’ stall was there too, Darling and Uncle got ‘cheated’ by that stall last year. Haha.

After a long long walk, we took a short break at a coffeeshop, had some drinks than head back home.

Our necklaces finally came last week!

Weeks ago I blogged that we ordered necklaces from The Name Necklace

We opted for the normal delivery and I’ve already given up hope that it will arrive before CNY. True enough, no expectations no disappointments! It arrived early and was a pleasant surprise

Sis got hers as well but no photos here. Her’s is ‘Amy’ with a blue crystal, her birthday stone.

Mine is actually amethyst but than I prefer white crystals

Thanks Mummy!

We also went Segar for Haydee’s belated birthday lunch.

Haydee looked so cute in this photo!

The asam claypot fish is nice, will bring Darling and Mum there sometime.

Boss commented that I’m like Singapore’s Paris Hilton, with all the pink and bling stuffs. If I’m Singapore’s Paris Hilton than I won’t have to work anymore! And I don’t want to be Paris Hilton too. Haha. I don’t mind the wealth but that’s it, I don’t want to have or to be anything else like her.
However Shenny & I thought XX is more like her though. Keke.

I finished 宮心計.

It’s a pretty good serial. Alot of scheming and fake smiles and fake friendships. Everyone’s trying to usurp you and be the almighty one. It’s not lucky at all to be a descendant of a royal lineage, sometimes being ordinary is a blessing.

But I actually wished for an alternate ending. Haha.

I’m planning the Barcelona itiniery now and Darling shall do the map plotting when I’m done.
*he’s on his way to get BBQ Pork than basketball game*

It’s so NOT easy

I miss him

I’m on my way to work now and I’m blogging too. Woke up rather early today and I slept early last night too. It wasn’t a smooth sleep cuz I woke up several times but I’m feeling alright today.

I am seriously missing my hubby. Its only a short 5 days trip but I am really missing him alot. Perhaps it’s because he haven’t been traveling for the past 2 months and I’m already so used to him being here already. Hoping to fastforward time and make Friday come soon. I have so many things to tell him!

Hope his work goes smoothly in Bangkok.
He will be traveling again on the 12 Feb to Barcelona but I’m telling myself it’s only a short 6 days and I will be seeing him at Barcelona
We are really looking forward to the trip. Getting excited already!

Counting down to Friday!

Hachiko

January 31, 2010 in movies | Tags: bangkok, barcelona, hachiko, iphone, m1 | Leave a comment

Sick for the last 2 days but feeling better now after taking medicine for 2 days.

Watched Hachiko last week.

A real touching story. My eyes were all red and puffy after the movie. I used to always think what will happen to us if Cookie’s not around but after the movie I’m thinking what will happen to Cookie when we are not around. I cannot imagine either one of us without each other.

Dogs have sixth sense. Hachi sensed that something is gonna happen to his owner and that gave him a reason to finally play fetch.

Just recently on the papers, there is this dog in HK who started barking to warn his owner that the building is about to collapse. He saved his owner’s life. They are indeed a Man’s Best Friend.

Movies revolving around dogs always makes me cry and think of Cookie. Like Marley and Me, 10 Promises to my Dog and so on. A dog is not like any other pet, no matter how you treat them they will always love you. No matter you are happy or sad, rich or poor they will always be there for you.
They will never turn their back away from you and they will never betray you.

So we ought to be kinder to our pets, they are not just pets they are part of our family.

I got my iPhone on Friday. Haha. After saying so much about loving my HTC I actually betrayed ‘her’ and joined the iPhone craze. Actually after I placed the order I’m like feeling some regrets. I don’t know if iPhone is really that good despite everyone saying it is. I know there must be something valuable about it thus the craze but than again sometimes I think these people have yet to try Androids thus the misconception.

My thoughts after trying the iPhone: It’s a faster and a more powerful machine as compared to HTC, in terms of the speed. The games of course are more interesting than Androids. They have most of the PC, PSP games rather Androids’ games are those simple and not so entertaining ones.
However I don’t really go for games or music function in a phone. I like customization and luckily we are allowed to jailbreak our iPhones, otherwise it will be super boring.

It’s a MUST to jailbreak your iPhone, otherwise you will not get to enjoy alot of other applications and it makes the whole iPhone experience boring. I almost spend S$25 on the jailbreaking but Alex told me it’s rather easy to DIY and when I bought the casing I was told the same thing by the guy. So Darling went to YouTube and did the JB for me Now I’m pretty pleased with the phone.

Aside from this, the whole purchase experience with M1 this time round wasn’t a very pleasant one. From what I recalled, I wasn’t told that I have to prepare my USB cable for the trade-in and it’s left in the office. When the delivery guy came he told me it’s required and I have to pay a bloody S$50 if I do not have the cable. We did not blame him as he’s just the delivery guy and he’s only following instructions.
Anyway we managed to get the phone and I had to wake up super early on Saturday just to go back to office and take the cable than pass it to the delivery guy. The very same night (Friday), I called and fxxx the M1’s customer service and they were supposed to call me back yesterday but till date no calls.

I was already so pissed off the CS still told me to go to their website and write in the complaint.
I’m like WTH. I don’t want to write in to anyone, I want to talk to your manager.

Anyway it’s all over already but we just wanted to make some noise. Haha.
Darling told the delivery guy he knows it’s not his fault but than again someone from M1 should have called us and not just him passing the message.
And I can be a real bitch sometimes. Whahahahaha.

I bought alot of new gadgets lately. Netbook, DS Lite and now iPhone. Think it’s time to stop!

It’s 8 plus evening on a Sunday. I’m going to help Darling packed his stuffs. He’s flying to Bangkok tomorrow and back on Friday than we will be going Chinatown on Saturday. Supposed to do spring cleaning today at my place for my room but because I’m still unwell I decided to do it next week before we go Chinatown.
After next weekend, Darling will be going to Barcelona already. I’m going to miss him but than I will see him real soon

We have yet to plan the itiniery!!!
He say he will do some planning in Bangkok.
I am really going to miss him

Hugs.

It’s always nice to know there will be someone who is always there to do crazy things with you and be with you when you need someone.

Last Saturday night I was feeling alittle hungry late in the the night, close to midnight or already midnight. Darling felt the same too and I dragged myself to change to something decent to go get supper.
I’m like halfway through changing my tee shirt when I really felt super lazy to move at all. Darling and I went to the kitchen and see what we can find. We found the chicken soup cube thingy, mushrooms, minced pork and golden mushrooms. And we had a nice self-concocted homemade soup. Actually it was a tad salty because Darling didn’t take enough water but it’s the overall feeling of having hot soup late at night with someone I love and who loves me.

I love the feeling of doing stuffs together, I love the feeling of both of us getting busy in the kitchen, making a mess and teasing each other.
It’s a really warm and loved feeling.

Oh ya, Darling put 2 eggs in the soup too
And I had my century egg.
He doesn’t like century eggs and I think he hates the smell of it but I love to disturb him with my mouth full of century egg.

After supper Darling washed up while I start a DVD and we both watched till we can’t open our eyes anymore.

I’ve been actively checking the Punggol Forum and our block is already at the 12th floor

One of the pics I took from the forum. Credits to all those who took the effort to go down to the site and took all these pics.

Frankly I don’t even know if this is our block. Whahahaha. But all the blocks looked the same now anyway.

Usually I’m on leave on my birthday but since I will be leaving for Barcelona on the 18th I will be going to work on the 17th.
We will be having a belated celebration in Barcelona, an all-in-one celebration. Birthday, Valentines’ Day and perhaps even Chinese New Year. Haha.

Went for hair wash earlier and trimmed my fringe think I will have to do it again soon.
Darling went for his hair cut too.

I’m sleepy already.
Gonna do shower, do all my business than nighty!

It’s Sunday again and somehow I’m still having the cramps.

Weekends was more of a sleep and eat and watch dvd thingy. We didn’t join Sis at her chalet and neither did I went to the housewarming.

I was at home after dinner (macaroni) and lazing around. Darling went for a basketball game and I’m happy for him because he’s doing more exercise now
But just be careful of your leg darling.

Recently I’ve been having this thought of having babies already. Whahaha. And I’m even thinking of skipping the whole customary portion. Some of Darling’s friends told him our ROM was pretty grand so we can probably skip the whole customary. But actually our ROM isn’t that grand. And I know I will probably regret few years down the road for not having a customary.
I’m just being irrational now.

I bought some clothes online! Or rather I just click on ‘confirm order’ and still pending for their confirmation before I make any payment. Hopefully I can receive them within a week after I make the payment!

I need to go get new shoes too. Initial plan was to go shopping this weekend but I really don’t wish to squeeze with everyone else. So if I can get the clothes soon I will skip the whole shopping thing totally!

I bought a nice sweater for Barcelona too. Hehe.

It’s another 3 more weeks to our Barcelona trip!
We need to do up the itiniery soon!

Counting Down!!!

short walk down the memory lane

January 22, 2010 in The Story Goes On and On and One... | Leave a comment

I slept the whole day today. It’s the time of the month and the cramps is here again.I hate mensuration cramps because it’s really one horrible feeling which nobody else can understand unless they experience it on their own.
Girls I think will get where I’m coming from but definitely not the guys. And I get extra grumpy when I’m having my mensuration and before.

Been having chest pains lately too I hope it’s nothing. Maybe just lack of exercise.

Is supposed to go for Sean’s house-warming tomorrow but won’t be able to make it now. Was looking forward to meet Wendy and Ash, guess will arrange for some other day. Sorry Sean!

Anyway it’s finally Friday and I’m looking forward to sleep through the weekends. I have yet to shop for my CNY clothes but will be going next Saturday. Actually now that I’m buying clothes every other day, buying CNY clothes doesn’t seem that significant anymore. I can still remember those days when I only get to buy clothes once a year. Mum will bring us out shopping for CNY clothes and it was really a very special feeling.
But of course, I prefer to buy clothes every other day. Hehe.

We will be going Chinatown again before CNY this year, it will be the 6th Feb, which will be a Saturday. Looking forward to immerse myself in the CNY mood but not looking forward to the crowd.

Here’s another walk down the memory lane.

I lead a normal life like any other normal girl. No hidden powers or some meaningful career like a doctor or lawyer. But I’ve been through things in life for the past 10 years that made me more mature and who I am today.

Not that I’m some big shot now or is holding a super high ranking position, and of course sometimes I wish to achieve more in life. But than again, I think I have done quite alright for myself.

In relationships, I have 3 relationships since I was 16. I think I shall not harp too much on this but my family and friends pretty much know everything about my past and present relationships. I am thankful that I have met the right man who’s always there to take care of me and making sure that I live each day with smiles and laughter. I don’t think I can ever find someone who cares for me and love me as much as Darling. I’m glad to have him in my life.

Every morning Darling sends me to work. If he stayed over the night before, he will wake up earlier to get ready, tidy up the bed and change Cookie’s papers and food while I shower and get ready for work.
I used to think my office is very near his office and it’s around the same time as him going to work directly and come pick me to work. But than lately I realized actually it’s not. If he’s going to work directly he can wake up at around 7.30am – 7.45am. But when he have to send me to work, he have to wake up around 6.30am.
And he always sleeps late at night because of his endless projects and proposals.

And when he’s on leave he will still send me to work as per any other days. Than he will go home and sleep after that.

Thank You Darling.

The other day while at work I suddenly thought of ’siao ah pi’. Haha. That reminds me of Derrick Lim. He was the one who said this to me and it became part of my language for awhile.
I kinda miss him sometimes. Whahahaha.

Working at DLP is like a turning point for me, in terms of my threshold for stress and gaining experience as well as $$$.
I can still remember I was kinda nervous when I went for interview at the studio. It’s at a condo at Balestier and I took a cab there.
I was nervous because it seems ulu and I don’t know if that place is safe. Haha. The interview lasted for more than 1 hour, we were chatting more than really a very formal interview. The place is not like any corporate office, it’s very homely. We had the interview at the living room area just at the sofa.
I remembered one of the questions he asked was if what will I do if there’s a python in the office. Haha. I guess it’s because I will be mostly alone and he wants to know how do I cope with crisis.

I was pretty confident that I will get the job as soon as I finished the interview. True enough I was being offered the position of a Producer.
It’s like a total eye-opening experience for me. Derrick does print ads photoshoot and I was like the overall coordinator and sales. I was pretty much doing everything myself and he gave me the freedom to do all the things. I felt good because I was in control and job satisfaction was great when seeing the final output of the ad.

He was a fun boss to work with but a strict one too. He can irritate the hell out of you at times and he always like to ’suan’ people.
But it was fun working with him and because of the experience there I grew alot.

I am really grateful to him.

I am also grateful that I have a good family. We have our down sides too and sometimes I get angry or upset with all the naggings from Mum and/or Dad. I have arguments with Sis and Bro but at the end of the day I love them to bits and I will never want to change my family. I love them.

Maybe it’s grandma who’s blessing us from where she is, our relationship with both uncles from Mum’s side became really close after grandma passed away. We used to be okay with Big Uncle and Eric Uncle but we don’t really meet up. Perhaps just once a year at grandma’s house during CNY. But since years back we became really close and we meet all the time, for dinner, shopping, mahjong, holidays etc…
I treasure this relationship and I love my family for being so fun-loving and supportive.

Thanks for accepting the crazy me. Hehe.

I will busy with editing our blog over weekend!

I’m looking forward to receive my necklace! Ordered a name necklace from TheNameNecklace 2 nights back It’s gonna be a birthday present from Mum to me. My very shameless Sis requested for one for her advance birthday present. Haha.

We opted for the normal delivery which will take like 21 days on the average. Ait ind today I wanted to upgrade it to EMS so we can get it in like 7 days? But there’s some issues with Paypal and I can’t make the payment Sad.
I have emailed them already and hope there won’t be more delays.

Shall post some pics when the loots arrive.

Darling was browsing some web the other day and he stumbled upon a short clip on Sex and the City 2 – The Movie!
Yeah! I’m so looking forward to it!

It’s like 10.50pm now and I’ve yet to shower. Went to Darling’s place for dinner tonight and we came home around 8 plus. Was trying to do some editing to our blog and in the end I only managed with some colour changes. Haha.

I was contemplating switching to Blogspot because of Nuffnang and Google Adsense. Blogspot is more user-friendly in that sense and WP is harder to configure as I’m not very good with CSS.
I’m really hesitating because I’m really comfortable with WordPress already and we have our own domain here.
I guess I won’t be changing already.

Today’s considered a good day.
I am finally confirmed after a long 6 months. I joined SATA early August 2009 wearing one black dress and today I’m being confirmed with the same black dress. Hehe.
Joining SATA is something new for me as I have never been exposed to any healthcare/medical related companies. I have always been in the advertising/media related and obviously healthcare is very very different.

The learning curve is steep but I have good fellow colleagues and boss to help me throughout.

Of course, it’s not a 100% perfect working environment. I mean, if you ever find something or somewhere that’s 100% or even 99.9% please let me know. There’s never perfection in anything, any place or anyone. So please don’t tell me you love your company to bits and you have zero complains, because that’s a plain LIE. Haha.

There are definitely tough times but I think it’s a very good learning ground too. It’s important to have supportive colleagues to help you make each and every working day a happy one

Thanks Shenny, Graz, Haydee, Emmarie & Pat for being there giving me all kinds of support, be it work or personal And of course, my dearest HUBBY for sending me to work and getting me home everyday

I actually have tons to write but it’s 11.04pm already and I have to do anything else so I better go now.
Probably can write more on Friday

Feeling alittle weak today, I think there’s virus spreading at home and in office. Feeling feverish already, hope to feel better soon.

It’s BOXERCISE tomorrow!!
I’m gonna be so tired but I will enjoy it

P’s Surprise Birthday Bash

January 19, 2010 in birthdays | Tags: choc a bloc, P's Surprise Birthday Bash | 1 comment

与仕源在一起的日子：第1191天

It’s 10.33pm already and I’m still sitting on my bed waiting for my turn to bath I don’t want to be the last one anymore!!!

Here’s the blog on P’s surprise birthday bash.

This is me before the party. Went to get the cake, food and ice!

The whole thing was really exciting and I was getting kinda stress with all the secret missions. I was tasked to film the rest and Haydee & Mike did the video editing. We had to keep it from P and the worse thing was we had to keep it from G too! She didn’t know we were doing one video for her too and also we got her a cake

Plus we came out with just one game which is more like a ’sabo’ thing. It’s supposed to be for P exclusively but we decided since it’s G’s birthday too so we can get them to do it together!

Em and Shenny were there before me and they started blowing balloons and…. condoms!!! Keke.

Slowly everyone started arriving and we were waiting for the birthday girl to be back. Finally when G gave the missed call, we were super nervous. I’m not sure about the rest but Shenny & I were really nervous and excited. Haha.

And I think P’s really so surprised. Hehe.

Most of the photos are ’stolen’ from G’s FB as I didn’t take many photos that night with my camera

Here are the photos from G’s FB.

I didn’t drink alot but somehow I get red really fast everytime from I drink. & look at my thunder thighs!!! My god I’m so fat Thank god boxercise is starting soon.
Anyway just in case you are wondering, that’s my safety shorts underneath. And not ’something’ else, whatever you are thinking.
I was even thinking of asking G to remove the pic cuz it’s a tad unglam. But I think just let it be. Haha.

I think I was trying to stop P from making her Shenny drink.

And here we were trying to get P to dance.

That’s Alma. She’s really loads of fun.

Alright, that’s me. Dancing. Of course we weren’t dancing under the bright lights, it was rather dim. It’s bright because of the camera flash.

Photos from my camera:

Mission in Progress

Credits to Shawn for helping with the editing of the photo.

We stayed till 1am, drinking and dancing.
Darling came over and got me home and he sent Em & Shenny too. They were kind of drunk already.

Thanks Darling for coming over
He was having coffee with his friends and waiting for me to be done. Even though I told him I’m not sure what time that will be and I can go home myself.
Hugs.

Once again, Happy Birthday to the 2 fun loving birthday babes!
We had fun organizing and filming too
I was laughing all the way in my videos so here’s my wishes again if you ever happen to read this.

All the best in everything you do (sounds lame ah)
Find your Mr Right(S)
And may love and joy surround you two always.

**Cakes were from Choc-a-Bloc.
The place where I bought Darling’s 28th birthday cake. It’s really yummy. You should try if you are a chocolate lover like us
Darling and I we are both suckers for Chocolate.

And we bought their Rum & Raisins cookies too. Freaking S$16 for one small bottle but it’s all worth it cuz it was really damn nice. We couldn’t resist and ate 1 each on our way to P & G’s home.
And I made him swear that he will leave the cookies in the car and not eat them until I’m back home.

We finished everything on Sunday. I had the last 2. Whahahaha.

after a long x

与仕源在一起的日子：第1188天

This is a super belated post! I was blogging halfway last week when my lappy went black on me. The screen just went off like that, no notifications nothing.
Sometimes I really hate all these technological stuffs/electronic gadgets. They go crazy as and when they like.

ALTHOUGH this time round, it’s my fault I guess.
My Asus have been with me for 1 year or so and I’ve never off it for more than 10 times I think. It’s never been shut down properly and now some card thingy is burnt and I have to pay S$280 to service it.
Might as well get a new one. And that’s what I did.

I got the Asus Wind U100 in champagne rose! It’s the 2nd one from the left. Hoho.
The very impulsive me wanted to just go ahead and get something the next day my laptop went dead but Darling insisted on sending it to find out the problem first, than the cost and whether if we should repair or buy a new one.
And when the decision is to get a new one, I had to wait for a few days for him to do research before we finally decide on MSI.
There are quite alot of good reviews from MSI but not many shops sell them though.

We got it from www.spider88.com.
They are the authorized dealer for MSI and they do free delivery. However I have to wait for like so so long to get the netbook as their schedules are fully booked. But I cannot wait any longer! So I put my persuasion skills to use and I managed to get it today
Hohoho. Now I’m blogging with my new netbook and I like it! The keyboard are so much wider and bigger as compared to Asus. It’s so much easier for me.

No, I’m not a professional blogger. But I seriously cannot live without a netbook. I need it for day to day stuffs, for blogging, research (e.g. Barcelona) etc…

Yes I’m going Barcelona!

Darling is bringing me to Barcelona

It’s my very first time to a European country. We confirmed my air tickets and the hostel last Friday! But Darling’s air ticket is still pending though, so I’m still keeping my fingers cross hoping that everything will go well.

Last year he told me he might be going Barcelona this year. It’s an exhibition thingy and his boss will be going as well. His boss wanted him to go also because he want to introduce Darling to the big boss or something (for all his efforts etc…) and I’m really so proud of him. BUT he couldn’t bring me along!

It was only this year when he was being notified that the trip is confirmed and he’s decided to bring me along for this trip
I am really so looking forward but at the same time alittle upset as I have to cancel my Genting trip with my family and the 2 boys. Been looking forward to the short trip with the kids.

I hope Dong won’t be too upset.
I will try to bring them for another Genting trip this December

I will be taking the plane on my own again. Darling will be flying on the 12th Feb and I will be taking the 18th Feb 11pm+ flight. It’s a 15 hours flight with 1 hour stop at Milan.
It’s my very first time flying alone on such a long flight. I did a short one to Bangkok on my own last year and that was okay because by the time I finished one movie it’s time to land.
This time round I have to watch like 7 movies?? And I have to sleep too, in order to have energy for the programmes ahead.

Initial plan was for me to fly in on the 17th night and reach on the 18th. But I will be all alone and I have to take a cab to the hotel on my own. I’m not very keen with that idea and neither is Darling. So he’s decided that I will fly in one day later so he can be with me at the airport and we can check in to our hostel together.

My tickets are booked for 18 – 25 February.
Hostel: Barcelona Ramblas.

Darling browsed through www.hostelworld.com and after some research we decided on Barcelona Ramblas.
It’s around S$100 per night and for a hostel that’s expensive! I hope it’s clean, Hehe.

I did some research already but we have yet to finalize on the itinerary. BUT the Nou Camp will definitely be part of the plan and Darling’s decided to catch a football match on one of the days. I’m not a big fan of football but I guess being there is gonna be different? I hope.Whahaha.

Back-date alittle, we went Kite Flying on 1st Jan 2010.

Had dim sum in the morning. Mum was ‘complaining’ that it’s been awhile since we had dim sum. We went to the Fortunate Restaurant at Toa Payoh.

After that we went Punggol.

Bro and Dong torn out the wrappers of the kite but threw them one side when they realized they don’t know how to fix them.

Here’s Darling trying to fix the kites.

This was actually my first time flying kites with Darling. Dad used to bring us to Marina South when we were young to fly kites though. But that was donkey years ago and we seriously don’t have the ’skills’ anymore.

After a long struggle, we managed to fly the kite.

I like this pic! But Darling looked kinda weird though. Keke.

I just realized… No photos of Cookie!! But she was there that day too, it’s like a family outing for us and she’s so happy to be able to walk on the big patch of grass with Darling. I wasn’t that keen in that idea because of all the ticks and fleas lurking around.

It started started raining around 4 plus 5 and we packed and left. I was dead tired when we got home and I really wanted to skip dinner and just go to sleep. But we went Tampines with MIL and FIL for dinner. FIL brought us to this coffeeshop where they sell nice and cheap ‘zi char’.

We ordered cereal prawns, hot plate deer meat, ‘xia jiang’ chicken and vegetables, cost less than S$50! Cheap right???

Than we went Giant next.
Bought some tidbits, 2 novels and daily necessities.
Than finally it’s home.

I can’t recall what we did next.

I bling-ed the DS Lite Darling and Sis got for me.

This was the initial design. I completed it within one night I think but I don’t like it leh!!!

And I decided to remove everything. I bought a new glue from Arab Street and it’s a better glue than the previous one. There’s pros and cons I guess. The previous one is not as strong but it does not spoil the surface. Even after you remove it, the surface of the item will still be smooth.

But the crystals don’t stay long.

This new glue is so much better. The crystals stay on firm but as it’s very strong it will leave a layer on top of the crystals or the surroundings if you are not careful and it might be messy.

Having said that, I scrapped all the crystals off the completed DS Lite casing.
It’s a very tedious job okay, my hands were all sore and red and it took me more than 2 hours. Darling came back and he helped me sorted the good and bad crystals.
I love him. Hugs.

Than I start all over again the very same night. This is the new design, something simple.

You can see that the case is already rough and scarred.

The Final Output:

In fact I didn’t really like the design when I’m done and wanted to re-do again. Haha. But I’m not gonna do it again lah. I thought it’s rather nice now and furthermore I have spent like 100 over on all these crystals already!

Er Er Er. I cannot remember anything else already. I am so so so sleepy now. Zzz.
Good Night Folks!

与仕源在一起的日子：第1181天

What we did after dinner – Countdown at Cheng San CC. Haha. There’s some counting down program happening and we all went.

Frankly… I’m a super nuai person and I rather stay at home and nuai and fiddle with my pillows loh. I’m being forced to go!

We got slurpees.

Some blurry photos taken by Dong.

I thought this was very well taken.

After the countdown we head back home and settled for a Thai horror movie. Darling and I bought some egg tarts and char siew puffs from a Tong Heng Confectionery at South Bridge Road and we finished it all while watching the movie.
