Oh, hello!

2011-02-08T02:15:00.002+11:00

Haven't really been blogging the past year. Don't really have time to blog or even think of blogging (except today). So today shall be an exception.

This is crazy. The last time I blogged was like 5th June? Well, didn't understand why i had the time to blog then as well - I've been very busy for the past year.

Falling ill has become my forte, the ventilation in the office is bad. But then again, I think my immune system is bad as well. Unhealthy eating and living. Not enough exercise - causes of my high cholesterol. Maybe I should bake more but eat less of that. Baking relieves all the stress!

Lots of money to save now. Wanna go for holidays (big temptation), but thinking of the house, ROM ceremony and wedding, this takes up alot of my savings, if not, all.

Once in a lifetime affair, I really want it to be nice and memorable, from the day I sign the papers to the day I walk down the aisle. But is it really efficient and cost effective to hold both seperately? If only my family was in the money printing business.

So many things on my mind. He thinks I'm rushing to plan. Really?

Hi! I'm back to writing my blog!

It's been a very tiring week at work, but thankfully I'm coping well. Hope that everything will go well and I will get whatever I hope to get.

Anyway, something random, I love my Jemmy whammy.

Happy now chubby bunny? =p

hello again!

2010-05-17T02:49:00.002+10:00

it's been a long long time since i've updated my blog. frankly speaking, i almost forgot that this space of mine existed! but well, fortunately, i remembered. and i also remembered i have a twitter account! but i've forgotten the password, again. so nevermind, if you intend to follow me, don't bother.

anyway, life has been revolving around work, love, family and friends. but i guess more so it's work. 5 days a week, 845am - 845pm or even later (sometimes earlier lah, my job isn't THAT bad). i spend more time at work than i do at home! i wonder if i'm inefficient or under paid. i'd love to think the former, at least i won't feel pissed every time i work! but well i guess this is a phase that i have to go through in life.

okay, enough of work. i'm on leave tomorrow! going to collect my passport and hopefully a massage session. would really love to go shopping! but i have lots of bills to clear this month and i'm supposed to save $$ for my golf clubs. argh! i wanna buy clothes!

love is currently addicted to this stupid game called "angry birds" on iphone. initially it was this ice cream game called "ice tycoon". well maybe that's because he can't beat me in ice tycoon. WAHAHAHA. the most could go is only level 22 though. after that it's too confusing already!

ok i think i'm gonna help love play his stage 3-5.

night!

I WANNA SCREAM!

2010-03-08T00:35:00.002+11:00

The past 2 days have been freaking boring. I didn't have much to do except sleep. Thank God Abula was there on Saturday night to keep me company for 4 hours. But those 4 hours were really very precious. =)

Anyway I wanted to go shopping over the weekend, but I didn't really have mood to do so. After facial on Saturday, I walked around Orchard for 2 hours, frantically looking for something to buy. In the end, I bought a Kate Spade credit card holder (yes, I have too many cards!) and a pair of flats that I think is damn awesome (but no idea if I can wear it to work on Mon-Thurs)!

Sunday is totally shit. I had absolutely nothing to do - other than sleeping. Wanted to go out with friends but they weren't free. Even that stupid Tong "fong fei gei" dinner.

ARGHHHH..

Life without Jem is seriously boring.

My first cheque

2010-01-16T04:15:00.001+11:00

My first cheque is written/payable to my mom.

There goes a LV bag.

Sigh.

Where the sun never shines...

2010-01-14T21:21:00.003+11:00

Hi people! I'm back!

Most of you should know that I went for a holiday. Those who don't, now you do! =p

This post will be dedicated to my trip to Hanoi, Vietnam, and I hope that it will provide an insight to those who are interested in travelling up north. =)

It will be long and full of pictures, but of course, not ALL the pictures that I've taken in Hanoi. There are a total of 500 odd pictures taken! To some, it might not be anything surprising, but I thing is, I didn't really camwhore. =)

Ok, let's start!

Day 1 - 7th January 2010, Thursday

Arrived Hanoi airport at 8pm and by the time we got to the hotel, it was already 9+pm and Jem and I were STARVING like mad! So upon checking in, we got a map from the hotel and asked for directions on where we can find Pho Bo. Pho Bo is the vietnamese beef noodles and is pronounced as "fur bow".

Hotel Jasmine, US34 per room per night

Pho Bo on Cau Go Street, Old Quarters
VND20,000 per bowl

The noodles were AWESOME! It was probably due to our hunger that it was damn awesome, but seriously, it tasted much better than the ones in Melbourne and definitely Singapore! What's best is that there is not MSG added as Jem and I didn't felt thirsty at all after eating it! AWESOME! After which, we both headed for coffee near our hotel.

Cafe Lam @ the corner of Lo Su and Ly Thai To streets, Old Quarter
VND14,000 per cup

First word that came to mind as we both drank the coffee was "gao". Gao means thick in hokkien. The coffee was absolutely aromatic and thick. And this stall probably serves the best coffee that I've drank in Hanoi so far.

While walking back to the hotel, we came across a stall selling dried beef. It was quite dry, but tasted good! So Jem decided to purchase 2 packets, one shredded and one whole. I didn't get any because my family doesn't really take these kinda food.

Jem with the shop owners

Day 2 - 8th January 2010, Friday

Had breakfast in the hotel (Pho again), then headed to the Temple of Literature. It was quite a walk away, but we got to see the everyday lives of the vietnamese.

Shop houses at Old Quarter

Hoan Kiem Lake near our hotel

Temple of Literature
VND10,000-15,000 per person per entry

The temple of literature is a must see for those who visits Hanoi. If I'm not wrong, it is also the first university of Hanoi (or was it the whole of Vietnam?). But frankly speaking, if you don't see it, there's nothing much left.

After that, Jem and I got hungry and we went to hunt for food. We found Bun Cha! Bun Cha, pronounced as "boon chaa" is vietnamese grilled pork noodle. It is absoultely AWESOME! Even better than the pho in my opinion.

Bun Cha @ the street across the Temple of Literature

Comes with the springrolls
VND30,000 per bowl

After our yummy lunch, we headed to the One Pillar Pagoda, Ho Chi Minh Museum and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.

Chua Mot Cot a.k.a One Pillar Pagoda

Ho Chi Minh Museum
Closed on Mondays and Fridays =(

Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

After that, we walked towards the Truc Bach Lake. It was only early afternoon and we were already done with our itinerary of the day! So nothing better to do, I decided to do something romantic.

HAHAHAHAHA...
VND50,000 per hour

Then we went for coffee near the lake, but it wasn't as good as cafe lam's and headed back to the Old Quarters, to Dong Xuan Market. Dong Xuan market is a wholesale market selling accessories, shoes, bags, electronics, cloth etc. The things there are rather cheap, but you'll have to buy them in bulk. For example, Jem had to buy 12 pairs of socks, but it's only S$1 each!!

Dong Xuan Market

There was nothing much to shop at Dong Xuan market, so we headed back to Cau Go, wanting to eat the Pho again. But we came across this wanton mee stall, so decided to check it out.

Wanton Mee
Around VND20,000

It was nothing fantastic.

We were tired from all the walking, so we decided to go back to the hotel to rest our feet.

THEN, after that, we went out again for another round of Pho Bo at the same place and saw a night (wet) market. Interesting! They were selling meat, fish, fried stuff, coffee etc.

Night Market on Cau Go, just opposite the Pho Bo stall

Day 3 - 9th January 2010, Saturday

Since we've already did what we wanted to do on Saturday (Dong Xuan and a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake), we decided to visit the Hoa Lo, Hanoi Hilton. This place is where all the vietnamese rebels were caught and placed into.

But before that, we went for our brunch... BUN CHA!

We asked the hotel receptionist and found out that there was a stall just next to our hotel! WOOHOOOOO~

Bun Cha! YUMMMS

Then off we went to the Hanoi Hilton!

A portrait of how it was like living in the prison

Hoa Lo at present

Hoa Lo during the past

After that we decided to walk around the French Quarters. But on the way there, we past a massage palour and decided, why not? =p I didn't take a photo of the place, but it's located at Du Truong Street (if i'm not wrong) near the Hoa Lo. It's only VND150,000 for a 90 mins body, legs, hands massage. Shiok!

Next, it was FOOOD again! Walking around the French Quarter was tiring, so we headed to Hoa Ma street for beef steak. It's not the usually beef steak that we normally have, it's the viet version, but nevertheless, it was not bad.

Beef steak on hot plate
Around VND50,000 per person

There was nothing at the French Quarter! We walked and scaled the streets but there were only motorbike repair stores, motorbike repair stores and more motorbike repair stores. Other than the lighting and fixtures street. But we managed to find a place for coffee.

Nice decor, but coffee sucked.

On the way back to the hotel, we passed the Metropole Hotel. OMG, they had IWC and Hermes?!?!?!

Day 4 - 10th January 2010, Sunday

Today's Halong Bay! Let the pictures do the talking.

Pinta Cruiser
US89 per person for 2D1N

A gorgeous view of Halong Bay from the Amazing Cave

Day 5 - 11th January 2010, Monday

Kayaking into the caves at 8am

Then it's back to Hanoi where we arrived at 5+pm. Had dinner near the hotel. Was some duck noodle that tasted like crap. So we ended up at the Pho Bo stall having our beef noodles again. We weren't feeling very well due to Halong Bay being very cold, so we ended the day early and went back to the hotel for a hot bath and slept.

Day 6 - 12th January 2010, Tuesday

Our last day in Hanoi.

Since it was already the last day, we decided to have another Bun Cha meal. I searched on the internet and found a blogger recommending the one on Ta Hien street. Unfortunately, it wasn't open when we got there! So based on my memory, I remembered that blogger wrote something about a famous Bun Cha stall on Hang Manh Street. So we decided to make a trip there, hoping that it's open.

HOORAY!

VND125,000 for 2 bowls, springrolls and 2 drinks

The servings were huge! I couldn't even finish it! No wonder the price. But I still think that the Bun Cha stall at the Temple of Literature is better.

There wasn't nothing much to do at Hanoi already, so Jem and I decided to go to the National Museum of Vietnamese History. It was quite boring. Haha!

VND20,000 per person per entry

On the way back to the hotel, we saw an ice cream stall! So I had a scoop of chocolate! =)

VND10,000 per scoop

Last but not least, Charlene called me and told me that she just arrived Hanoi. So at the last hour at 4pm, we met for coffee at Cafe Lam. 5pm and its goodbye to Hanoi.

Char and I

That's all folks!

Happy New Year!

2010-01-06T11:00:00.000+11:00

Happy New Year people!

I know, this post should've been entered on the 1st January, but better late than never! =p

Today's my 3rd day at work and I'm loving it! Well, I think it's because I feel that there's so much to learn, so much to do! Just the 3rd day and I've conquered the credit spreads! Even though its quite tedious having to look at the financial statements and flipping to every page, every pointer, it's still quite fun. =)

I have to go on some course before I can start doing the credit reports and I still haven't gotten access to some systems and even the internet! So, I'm unable to email to external parties. Oh well...

Anyway it's only my 3rd day and I'm going on a holiday tomorrow! WAHAHAHA.

Ain't my life great?

So excited about the trip tomorrow. It'll be a totally different place with really unknown language. I hope they speak english. If not, I'll only order 1 type of food, pho. =/

Gotta go bathe and pack now! TATA!

All about my precious Gem.

2009-12-29T12:19:00.000+11:00

Guess what! I just got out of the shower! So it means that I have something random that I want to blog about! =p

Ok, this post is gonna be very mushy, so either you armour yourself with some anti-love lotion or just drown yourself in this proclamation of love.

As I was bathing, a thought came to my head.

"OMG, I love Jem alot."

Like really ALOT. But he always claims that he loves me more than I do (what crap! =p).

I know that I may not be the best girlfriend that he has ever had (please correct me if I'm wrong), but he is definitely the best that I could ever ask for.

He cooks.
He cleans.
He's generous.
His ambitions are aligned with mine.
He takes really good care of me.
He gives in most of the time.
He makes me laugh.
And even makes me cry.

I couldn't ask for more.

Always boasting to people how he saved my life at Mt Buller 2 years ago and that I owe him my life (so I have to marry him) to cooking countless fabulous meal to satisfy the many cravings that I have. This guy really takes the cake.

Even though I sold myself for a packet of fries (A$2.50?) and cut myself short by telling him that 0.75 carat is enough (but I still think 1 carat is beautiful). Nothing in this world can ever buy this precious gem of mine.

I love you darling, I always will.

Happy countless days anniversary.

(while writing this post, I wonder if he remembers to buy my mcnuggets meal. hmmm. =/)

Italiano? No?

2009-12-29T11:31:00.000+11:00

I just watched Julie and Julia the movie and it inspired me to do the same.

Just that I do not have time to cook everyday as I no longer knock off at 5pm starting 4th January 2010. Crap. =/

HOWEVER, I will try to make it a habit to cook once a week over the weekend. This is definitely going to be an expensive hobby. If only I had sponsors. *hint hint*

But I'm not going to cook french, I'll cook italian. It's quite amusing how much I love italian food but yet I want to go to France more than Italy. Ok, LV and Chanel plays a huge part. =D But for dessert, I'd really love to learn the french way.

Other than that, I want to get in touch with my roots and learn the peranakan cuisine. I have to speak to my great grandmother, but I highly doubt I'll understand a single word she says - it's either hokkien or melayu. Crap. =/

I'm kinda excited and I wonder what should I prepare this weekend. I already have something in mind, but my dad doesn't like pasta. Crap. =/ It's so hard to satisfy everybody. I myself have fussy tastebuds.

Ooohh... I want to be able to cook so well that I can write my own cookbook.

Hahahaha.

Dream on.

I want to

2009-12-22T23:54:00.004+11:00

I want to go for a show...
I want to go for a walk in the park...
I want to go for a holiday...
I want to eat kway chap...
I want to ride bicycle...
I want to chat at coffee bean...
I want to do all these with you...
I only want to be with you.

OMFT! >|

2009-12-21T21:08:00.003+11:00

Oh my freaking toot!

I have to pay a bond of S$1,700+! ARGH. This is ridiculous! But it's still better than staying in this shit hole till end April. Imagine my opportunity cost! I'll just treat it as I was only paid $400+ this month to chat on msn and surf the internet.

How on earth am I gonna buy a Mulberry for my birthday & CNY? Sadness to the bones. I really have to save ALOT. Plus my trip next month? It's not really working. I am officially broke. I need to dig up my savings already. Wait, I have no savings! AHHHHHHHHHH..... Kill meeeeeeeeeeee.........

Chubby buns, can you support me pleaseeeeeeee??

Okay, I shouldn't be pessimisstic. I'm gonna have a great job that pays me much better than the current one. The bonus that I get from the next company might even land me a gorgeous Chanel bag. (ok, I'm kidding, I'll save it...)

Chubby buns, don't blame me, but today during work, as I had nothing much to do, (most of my clients are DIY internet traders, so they usually DIY), I went blog surfing again. I came across a blog and it inspired me to want to go to the Philippines for a holiday! In Manila!

Well, some how Philippines has never been a place that most Singaporeans considered going. It's always Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong etc. I have no idea why. But looking at the photos, the scenery, the shopping, the beach... Ahhhhhh, I want to organise the group to go for a holiday there!

I'll leave Japan for just the 2 of us for Jan 2011 ok? =D

So I guess that means I have something to do tomorrow! Find out more about Manila! Things to do, when's the best time to go, weather, food, transportation. I think it's a pity I don't own a travel agency. I bet I'll do a great job at organising these kinda holiday. =D

Anyway, since we're talking about Philippines, I happen to visit a filipino restaurant a few months back. It was my first time trying filipino cuisine and I tell you, IT IS GOOD! Maybe chubby buns and I will go there one day and I will take a few shots of the gorgeous and sumptous meal we had there. =) Oh, it's at Kelok Ayer. Can't remember the name though. But I know how to go there. Hehe... I think it's the name of some filipino revolutionary person. Can't remember! AHHHHH... My failing memory...

Ok enough of the crap, I'm gonna buy some granny smiths for this wednesday. I'm gonna bake Apple Muffins! WOOT WOOT..

TATA!

Oooh

2009-12-14T01:11:00.002+11:00

2 more weeks! Or rather 8.5 more working days to my long awaited holiday. No, I'm not going anywhere, just gonna take the time off and slack at home to prepare myself for the next year.

I'm so excited on what next year brings. I'm sure there'll definitely be lots of stuff to be written in my life book.

First of it all will be my highly anticipated trip of course! =p

Anyway, time to slack and watch some tv before I sleep.

Tata!

I really really really need a holiday.

2009-12-10T02:57:00.003+11:00

I'm so excited about the trip, this is probably the only trip that I've actually made an effort to research so thoroughly. I even planned a 6D5N itinerary by the hour!

Anyway, so fast and it's this time of the year again. Christmas is coming and it's making my bones all excited. Too bad there's no snow in Singapore, otherwise it'll be perfect! =D How I wish that someday, I can spend Christmas in New York, where it's cold and snowy. When I'm still young and energetic, not mentioning still able to withstand the cold. =p

And after Christmas, it's my *ahem* 21st (again) birthday! But too bad I'll be starting a new job and might not be able to take the day off. Sigh. But I was thinking, should I throw a party? Or probably just a simple bbq? But I feel that I'm too old for birthday parties, and it's quite troublesome to have a party as my house isn't big enough to accommodate so many people. I'll see how.

Then after my birthday, it's Chinese New Year! WOOHOO. Don't you love those red packets? I wonder if I have enough money to buy myself a new bag for CNY! I'm thinking of getting the Mulberry Bayswater and I just found a new boutique in Takashimaya! It'll be really great to have more Takashimaya vouchers ;) *hint hint*

And after that, it's anticipating for December again. Sigh.

Ok, back to reality. Gotta sleep early for work tomorrow. SIGHS.

Night peeps!

At this moment...

2009-12-09T16:53:00.003+11:00

I have major food cravings for:

1) Hokkien mee & fried oyster @ Geylang Lorong 9
2) Zi cha @ Geylang Lorong 3
3) Dim sum @ Sims Avenue/Drive
4) Lor mee @ Meiling Street (today's the 9th!)
5) Dumplings @ Neil Road
6) Satay @ East Coast Park
7) Vegetarian Beehoon & fried carrot cake @ Hougang South
8) Punggol Nasi Lemak @ Upper Serangoon Road
9) Teochew sun kueh @ Upper Serangoon Road
10) Cai peng @ Upper Serangoon Road
11) Curry rice @ Geylang
12) Char kway teow @ Bedok South
13) Cheng teng @ Bedok corner
14) Roti prata & mee goreng @ Casuarina

So many cravings! When will I satisfy them all?

I feel as if I just came back from Melbourne. Haha! Deprived of my local fare.

Slacker

2009-12-09T02:08:00.003+11:00

Hi there!

The slacker is back!

And back with a motive!

I'm gonna start baking again! After months and months of not baking, thanks to that SOMEONE who got me so pissed in April, I decided to bake again. But this time, for my loved ones.

Today's experiment is Nigella's Chocolate Fudge Cake. You can get the recipe by googling it.

Well, it didn't turn out really right. It's too soft! I probably added too much water. Recipe wrote 300ml chilled water, but I think 50% could be enough. Will try again another day. Ingredients aren't that cheap in Singapore.

Another thing, I've accidentally added 50gm more cocoa powder. I was hoping it won't taste too chocolatey, but it turned out really nice! =)

I thought that it'll be an epic failure, but thank God, it looks great. =D

How I wish I were Nigella.

Good job darling! =D

2009-11-28T03:52:00.005+11:00

No, of course he didn't propose.

But yes, he really gave me a surprise.

1 year odd of being together, this is the first official time that he gave me a surprise. Well, to surprise me, it ain't easy. Firstly, the gifts that I'd love to have are usually pricey, and there are a 101 things that I want to get. So, if he were to surprise me with gifts, it's near to impossible. =)

So, he surprised me with food.

I used to think that I'm very low maintenance when it comes to food. It's like I can eat at MacDonald's everyday, or even a simple meal of chicken rice for every meal. But now, I can say that, I'm no longer low maintenance.

Well, Jeremy Lee, you have yourself to blame. Now you have to feed me expensive stuff on top of buying expensive stuff for me. =p

Ever since I've gotten together with Jem, I feel that I can no longer eat food like how I used to. Of course I still love my MacDonald and chicken rice, but I will yearn to opt for the best I can get - taste and quality.

For example, I used to detest beef. I wouldn't go into any restaurant that has that beefy stench. But now, I'm beginning to love it, and I cannot go to places that serve bad quality beef.

There was once, darling and I went to this restaurant/cafe place at Serangoon Gardens for lunch with his AG. Thankfully, I ordered the pork chops. Baby's steak was BAD. It didn't have the natural taste of beef that it should have - it tasted bland. We will NEVER go back to that place for steak again, the rest were okay, not too bad.

I think my taste buds are slowly developing. No doubt I obviously still do not know the difference between the grades of steak cuts, I definitely can taste what's awesome and what's really shit.

Anyway, now it's time to reveal where he brought me to. This sneaky child tricked me a few times.

Jem: Oh, I just checked, CTE's traffic is quite jam, we shall go via Thomson.
Me (thinking): "Oh, we're going to Orchard?"

But we didn't go onto Thomson. We ended up on Lornie Road. So I thought, maybe he was bringing me to Dempsey, via Holland Road.

But we passed Holland Road.

Me: Oh! We're going towards Vivo that side!
Jem: Maybe?
Me: Are we going to Mt Faber?
Jem: Don't know?
Me: We are going to Mt Faber! =D

But we passed Mt Faber.

Me: Ooooooh, we're going to Prive?
Jem: Maybe? Dont know?

But we passed Keppel Bay.

Me: We're going to Vivo for dinner? What is there to eat there? Don't think that there's anything nice there.
Jem: Oh no, how ah?
Me: No choice I guess.

But we passed Vivocity.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..............

Me: (Seeing that we are turning into Sentosa) We're going to Sentosa?!?!?!
Jem: HAHA YEAH...
Me: OMG! One Degree 15?
Jem: No la! You bring me there next time.
Me: Yeah, when I propose to you - basically NEVER.

So, he brought me to this alfresco setting restaurant in Sentosa called "Suburbia".

They were having a 1-for-1 deal at $68++ for:

Appetizer
Seared Tuna

Soup of the day
Onion Soup

Main Course
Salmon or Wagyu Beef Rump Steak

Dessert
Strawberry Mousse Cake

We both had the beef, as it was the smarter thing to choose.

My comments:
Appetizer - wasn't as good as it should be, but it's a pass. 3/5
Soup - it was very well done, but I can taste more of the chicken stock than onion. 3.5/5
Main course - darling said that it's definitely not a grade 8, but it's flavour to me is nice. 3.5/5
Dessert - I'm not much of a dessert person, but it's done well. 3.5/5

Well, I would go back again, if the 1-for-1 deal is still on. Pricing is really good. =D

Thank you darling for making the effort to surprise me, I really appreciate it. =) I'll be waiting for the next surprise! LOVE YOU!

Suburbia @ Sentosa
Time: 3pm – 11pm (Sun-Thu) (last order 10pm)
3pm – 12mn (Fri, Sat & Eve of Public Holidays) (last order 10.30pm)

Today is finally here...

2009-11-27T15:21:00.002+11:00

Finally, the day has come.

The surprise is today. I wonder what's gonna happen. I wonder what he is up to?

My mom asked me where I'm going for dinner tonight, I said I don't know, ask her to find out from Jeremy cos he said it's a surprise.

Mom: You both going out for dinner tonight ah?
Jem: Yeah
Mom: It's a surprise ah?
Jem: Haha! Yeah...
Me: MOM?!?!?!?!?! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO ASK!
Jem: Hahahahaha!!
Mom: Oh, where are you both going?
Jem: I'll let you know when we come back.
Me: ...

ARGH...

Conclusion: My mom is bad at asking questions.

Well, he's making tonight's dinner so suspicious. It's not my birthday, and it's not because of another issue that we are celebrating. Nor is it a proposal. What can it be? Nor is there any occasion.

Jem: I just want to do something sweet for you.

Awwww, I think I better charge my camera. But then again, I think I'll just use my iPhone.

Random: iPhone ROCKS!

I need to know...

2009-11-25T02:21:00.003+11:00

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I can't take it anymore!!!!

I need to know... I really need to know!

What the hell is gonna happen on Friday? What's with this Friday? Why is it a surprise? There's usually no surprise. 1 year and there's not been a single surprise.

This is getting fishy. I really want to know. DAMN. Tough nut to crack. He said he booked a table. But I have no idea where! I don't think he's proposing (as much as I hope he is, but I'd rather wait for my 1 carat ring). That what could it be? I asked him what's the occasion? He said, "Surprise!".

Me: Where are we going?
Jem: Surprise!
Me: What's for dinner?
Jem: Surprise!
Me: What cuisine?
Jem: Surprise!
Me: Which area?
Jem: Surprise!
Me: Are you proposing?
Jem: NO.

Crap. Why can't he say surprise too? Hahaha.

WHAT IS HE UP TO?!

As much as I love surprises, this is killing me! Hahahaha. I think I'm gonna die of laughter. AND curiosity. Ahhhhh curiosity killed the cat.

MEoooowww.

...

Silence.

Jingle bell, batman smell, robin lay an egg. Jeremy Lee is very good, so he shall be my slave!

This song has been going on and on and on in my head for the past 2 hours. Hahaha!

It's only the 23rd of November and I am filled with Christmas (my head). At times I'll hum christmas carols and I think my colleagues think that I'm mad.

Christmas is coming! And it is my most anticipated time of the year. I love the months from December to February. I have something to look forward to every month for those 3 months.

YOOHOOOO...

On a sidenote, OMG! A 1.02 carat F VVS2 costs 30 grand? You gotta be kidding me!

Long Forgotten

2009-11-16T23:40:00.003+11:00

WOOHOOO!

The writer of this long forgotten blog is back! (for awhile.. I might forget I have a blog again..)

Anyway, nowadays I don't really know what to write. Jem said that I like to tell stuff to the "world" and sometimes it ain't that good - there's no privacy. But this is how I communicate to my friends, whom I hardly meet, for them to KPO in my life! Well, that is assuming they still read my blog. I don't even know who reads my blog nowadays.

As I've said, it's long forgotten.

ANYWAYS, I can't be bothered what to hide and what not. So I'm gonna blurt it out! This instance!!!!!

I....

I.........

I am going on another holiday in January and another one in April! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!

SO EXCITES!

Ok, pardon me for being chilish. I just wanted to type more, hence the dots.

Well, as for where I'm going, you'll see when I'm back (if I EVERY post any photos on this blog.. too lazy to..)

Alright, going off now!

GONNA BLOG HOP! =D

HI!

2009-11-08T04:43:00.005+11:00

It's 1.43am and I'm still awake.

Gosh, it feels so good that I don't have to work tomorrow. (to Jem: ne ne ni bu bu... =p)

Today, darling and I went to AMK Central for dinner. Had his FAVOURITE hokkien mee (again) and a bowl of bah chor mee. ~~We're~~ He's a glutton, I know. =D

After which, we went walking around the heartland area and I went to THREE abc stores - you know, those kinds that sell household stuff etc for $1 - $2? It's been since God knows when I started loving to go to these kinda store. And yes, I spent quite abit. Don't want to take photos of my loot, because it'll reflect how auntie I am. =p

Went for supper 3 hours later with Tong and Kimchi (eat again). We had wanton mee, beef noodles and 1 peanut pancake @ Lavender Food Square. The pancake took probably 10 mins worth of my time and IT WASN'T GOOD. HMPH! *sulk* Enough said.

Darling is sleeping soundly now by my side. I was blowing my hair, watching TV and now typing loudly but he can't hear a thing. I guess he's TOO tired. And the best time to sleep is .... but of course after you eat. HAHA! WHAT A PIG!

Wanted to take a photo of him while he sleeps, but when I was about to take the shot, he moved. DAMN IT! Forget it, not meant to be. Plus I think he will kill me and cut 0.5 away from my 1 carat ring. HAHAHAHAHAHA! *sulk*

Awwwwwwwwwwww.. Seeing the way he sleeps, like pooh bear. Love him deep deep!

Soonish, I will fly home.

2009-11-03T19:31:00.002+11:00

Woah!

I just read and found out that the last time I posted on this blog was almost a month ago! Opps!

Sorry for disappearing for so long, I sorta forgotten that I have this blog (twitter too! oops..). I remembered I told myself when I start working, I'll still blog daily. However, I have absolutely no idea why I've slowed down on my blogging.

I think Jem stopped visiting my blog as well. =p

Anyway, updates! I recently went to Phuket (and back) and to this kelong off JB. Phuket was absolutely fun! But the Kelong was so-so, I even got burnt from the kelong. (What's new?)

Now its 4.37pm and I'm counting down to knock off. Please come sooooon!

my iphone story

2009-10-09T14:15:00.002+11:00

and yes! as the title depicts, I've finally got my iphone!

but prior to that, many things happened. not bad, but quite interesting.... haha!

Last friday night, I dreamt that the iPhone was in stores for sale! I woke up thinking that it felt so real, so I went to check the Singtel website and to my surprise! It really is out! But will only be in stores on 7th October, Wednesday.

On tuesday, Jem told me that his brother said that it might be out on that day instead, so I went at 10am to the shop and no, it's not out! GRRRRR.

SO, on wednesday... the day has finally arrived! On the way to the office, at 9am I saw a few people, around 3-5 people outside the Singtel shop (I saw from across the street at my office atrium), queueing for the iPhone. Thinking that maybe the queue wont be that long, I decided to go down at 930am instead.

To my horror, when I went down at 930am, I was the #23 person in queue! and the shop only opens in 1 hour's time! *GASPS* So in the end, I had to queue for 1 hour and only at 1030am, I managed to get my queue ticket. Can you imagine, we had to queue to get a queue?

The interesting thing starts here. There were 2 queue series. 1 is the 7000 series - 7001, 7002 etc and the 1000 series - 1001, 1002 etc. The 7000 series were for iPhone customers and 1000 series for the rest. However, as there were many people, they will randomly assign the 1000 series to some customers. I was 1 of them.

When I got my queue ticket (1006), the ticket wrote that it was serving 1003. But on the board, there were only 7004, 7005 and 7006. I asked the queue ticket lady how long would my queue take and she said around 45mins. That was what she told the few customers in front of me.

I wanted to go back to the office, thinking its another 45mins, but I decided to stay on. Thank God I did! In the end after I sat, the counter beeped for 1004, the girl who was the 2nd person ahead of me. It beeped for awhile and when she didnt turn up, the counter beeped for 1005, the guy who was in front of me. I think both of them thought that it'll take awhile, so after they got their queue numbers, they went somewhere else. So in the end, 1006 was beeped!

I barely sat for 2 mins and I was off to the counter. There was this young fella, who looked very kanchiong to get the phone (I noticed while queueing for a queue ticket), he looked at me with shock and disgust! He was probably 6-8 people in front of me, but I got to the counter first!

I think I overtook at least 10 people in the queue! And ended up only taking 1hour of my time queueing. WOOHOOO!

I heard that people had to queue for 5 hours for the phone at night. That's madness.

Thank God I went early, 5 hours is really a waste of time. =p

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhd Sh*t

2009-09-22T01:00:00.002+10:00

Gooooooooooooodness!

I just read my previous post (it was kinda random), only to find out that my english deteorioriated (I mean deteriorated...) !!!

It's like BOOMS! And it's all gone! *sob sob*

I wanted to edit my english (which I apparently didn't before publishing it to the world), but I thought, "nah, you all should read my terrible english". Haha!

Well, I'm not ashamed of my english, but I believe that I can do abit more to improve it. Like speaking without all the "lahs", "lohs" and "lehs". Its tough! Really! Being a Singaporean without these 3 incorporated into my sentences will literally kill me. HAHAHA!

But seriously, I don't want my kids to end up asking me, "mommy, can I get a bigini wid zibbra preens?" I'd be so upset with myself, and I believe Jeremy will KILL me. I know he has been very anal with how people (especially me) carry themselves. A little bit of singlish wouldn't kill, but it'll snowball into a huge mess if it ain't handled with properly.

I was talking to his brother about green bean soup and he told me that I sounded like an "ah soh". OMG, I almost flipped. I wanted to smack him and tell him, "I'm being myself!" But well, on hindsight, I probably didn't sound very poised. What do you expect? I'm Singaporean (my favourite excuse).

Conclusion: Let's all practise good english.

Just 45 minutes away.

2009-09-20T23:35:00.002+10:00

Where could be 45 minutes away?

Darling and I went to Batam! =)

We reached Batam at 8.45am, checked into the hotel, and went straight out to the city. Taxis were over priced and was in S$ (from the hotel). We had to pay S$20 just to go to Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre. But it Batam View was very far away, probably 40mins away from town.

^Nongsapura Ferry Terminal, Batam.

^Batam View Resort, Batam.

^In the car on the way to Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre.

== Day 1 Brunch! ==

Upon reaching Nagoya Hill, we went to search for a mamak stall (those selling fried noodles and rice) and we managed to find 1, which is just next to the Nasi Padang stall that I went last December. Knowing bahasa indonesia was really a plus, we could order what ever we wanted to eat without "sign language". What I love most is the indomie goreng. Awesomeness!

^Nasi Goreng Ikan Asin (Salted Fish Fried Rice)

^Fried Kailan

^Indomie Goreng version 1. YUMS. =D

== Day 1 Snack! ==

And so we headed to the shopping centre, only to find out that the clothes that are sold are .... Baaaaaaaaaaaaad. So we ended up at A&W. Haha! There was J.Co Donuts, KFC etc, but Singapore has them all. Don't waste stomach space!

^If it ain't obvious enough, it's A&W.

^SHIOOOOKNESS!

== Day 1 Dinner! ==

After Nagoya Hill, we headed to Megamall, Batam Centre. As usual there was ABSOLUTELY nothing to buy. I only managed to buy 1 top, which darling and I both agree that was the best looking in the whole shopping centre. Sad case. Having nothing to do, we went for tea and talked to a local here. Found out that there were streetside stalls next to the shopping centre selling local fare! WOOT WOOT! So we decided to skip nasi padang (damn!) and headed to the streets.

^Chicken and Mutton Satay with Tapioca Chips and Ketupat.

^I've noticed that all the people eating at the street were the natives.
Darling and I were probably the only chinese. =/ I wonder why.

^Indomie Goreng version 2. The 1st one was nicer.

== Goodies! ==

After dinner, we headed back to the mall and went to shop at the hypermart!

^Our loot.

== Day 2 Breakfast! ==

We woke up late and almost missed breakfast. Eating in the hotel was rather expensive and so we decided to fill ourselves with as much food as possible.

^This is just round 1. =p

After which we decided to walk around the hotel.
The beach, pool, jetty, vegetable farm, fish pond etc.

^The beach. Looks like sentosa eh?

^The Jetty.

^Kelong Restaurant.

More on facebook! =)

Gotta go! Night! =)

2009-09-16T14:22:00.003+10:00

And here I am, blogging at work. This shows that there isn't much to do at work, now.

Well, the market is picking up, but there's not much movement in the market today. Maybe I should start trading myself?

All I can think of now is having a looooong holiday. Work is sorta getting mundane nowadays. I'm giving myself 1 year (more or less because of the bond that I've got to serve) to find out if this line is really for me.

The market is picking up, but clients are not increasing or calling me to execute trades for them. I don't want to always have to call them to ask them "How are you?" etc. So superficial. I've already ran out of excuses to call them.

Well, when I get my new namecard, I guess I'll have additional excuse to call them.

Come on! Big money, big money!

On a side note, I'm going to Batam this weekend! WOOHOO~! Very excited. It'll just be Debbie and Jeremy. Noone else.

When will the day ever come?

2009-09-13T12:44:00.000+10:00

Will we only become adults when we get married?

Seriously, no matter what, we'll always be this 20-30 odd years younger, so in their eyes, we'll always be babies.

We're 25! Goodness! But I feel like I'm still 15. I destest the way they restrict as if we aren't responsible with our lives. True, you give us life and I'm greatful for that. But we live our lives.

Let loose! Or let go.

What?!

2009-09-08T01:20:00.000+10:00

#1122?

Let's hope that at least half of the # 0001 - 1121 doesnt intend to pick it up. Sigh.

Or maybe God has something planned for me in the year 2014? Or maybe I'll strike gold and will be able to purchase a condo in 2 years time?

Maybe I should buy 4D?

Maybe I should buy 1122. Hmmm! It's a sign.

Anyway, I'm forever thinking of holiday, holiday, holiday.

Finally booked the tickets and will most probably be booking the rooms tomorrow. Those 3 guys better book their tickets asap, or I'm gonnnnnnnnna bugggggg them. Send some fleas to Happy and she'll be UNhappy. Hahaha. SO BAD. =p Hope kimchi doesn't have my blog address. (In case you do, I'm just joking!)

ARGH work work work.

Night all!

Adios.

RANDOMANIA!

2009-08-26T23:55:00.000+10:00

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

You all should've known.

There's ALWAYS something random going through my mind during my shower.

And this time, I'm thinking about heading to the gym.

But I'm a VERY fickle person. I just CAN'T decide if I should.

It's like when you start working, every penny is VERY precious to you. It's like you carried your baby for 9 months and finally when you give birth, you don't want your little darling to be out of your sight. Ok, weird analogy, but you get what I mean. ;p

Anyhoos, IF I were to go for yoga/pilates class, it would probably cost a minimum of $20 per session in CBD area. So that equates to $80 per month assuming there are 4 weeks. If I were to go for both classes, that means I would have to spend a minimum of $160!

GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME!

BUT if I were to join the gym, $70 a month (but I have to be committed for a year), I can go for any class! Yoga, pilates, kick boxing, combat, spin etc. AND not only that, I get to use the gym and its amenities! WOOHOO! Sounds like a great deal right?

BUT MY MONEYYYYYY......... And I cannot confirm that I will definitely hit the gym every week. (I'm lazzzzzzzzzzy)

So how?

I should just jog on the spot/do some skipping at home. It's free and I get to drink ribena after that. =)

Funny how I can think of $$$ even while I'm bathing. $_$

and we went to Malacca!

2009-08-26T23:07:00.000+10:00

Food food food.

Nothing else. Well, a littttttttle bit of shopping and it was food again.

I'm too lazy to post photos here, so just check it out on my FB.

=p

Gonna bathe and chill out. If I do think of something random in the shower, you'll see the next post pretty soon. =)

damn.. I need a holiday..

2009-08-20T01:34:00.000+10:00

I was looking at pictures on facebook and I stumbled upon the melbournian's snowboarding trip. DAMN, I wish I were there! Looking at the snow, the fun, the ski lift... Which reminds me of my superman, a.k.a. chubby bunny now. HAHA!

Anyway, snowboarding is something very special and meaningful to me. Well, maybe it's because that was where we first met and that was where it all started. If only, our wedding can be held there! HAHA! Just joking. Obviously I have to walk down the church aisle.

Received a letter from HDB not too long ago. Darling passed me the letter saying that I'm luckier than him, which I believe ain't true. He's luckier than me because he got me as his girlfriend and probably future wife! =p (Baby, I know that you're smiling while reading this. =D)

Anyway, my 'lucky' hands were all sweating. The feeling was worse than checking examination results! In the end, it's just a letter stating the flat that we applied for, yada yada, and that the results for the ballot will only be out in end September.

CHEY, and I thought that the ballot results were out! I felt cheated!

Anyway, tomorrow is FRIDAY! TGIF! And then it's Saturday!

I'm going on a trip with his RJ friends. I'll let you know in my next post. =D

I just can't wait!

And I can forget about losing weight. BLEAH!

unwell

2009-08-18T02:37:00.000+10:00

I'm not feeling very well.

Will you save me superman?

there goes my loooong weekend.

2009-08-10T23:32:00.000+10:00

time passes so super fast. how i wish i could go back to friday, where my weekend just started.

well, at least monday's down, 4 more days to go.

i realised that i'm beginning to get pretty lazy. all i want to do is to sleep, sleep and sleep. is this work fatigue? or is this just plain laziness?

anyway, darling and i applied for a flat and results for the ballot will be out by september. i had 2nd thoughts on the flat as it's located at the other side of the world, but well, at least it's 5 minutes walk away from the train station.

price is somewhat reasonable, and it's quite spacious for a new flat. i really really hope to get it. =) kinda excited.

well, i'm kinda glad right now, my career is starting, my darling is making future plans with me, family is great, his family treats me nice as well. what more should i ask for? probably only more time to sleep. =p

anyway baby, all the best for your test tomorrow! you can do it! =)

hope to get it!

2009-08-07T00:05:00.001+10:00

I'll have to start saving already then ....

YOU TOO JEREMY!

and the sun sets........

2009-07-23T20:20:00.001+10:00

Took this photo by coincidence.

come here fatty! =p

2009-07-22T20:00:00.003+10:00

Oh, I love my baby so much. I love him even more that he's so patient with me. I love him even even more that he is a dog lover.

It's been known to me that he doesn't mind having a dog. To me, having a dog is like a part of my life and I wouldn't want to forsake that, even if I were to have a child. My child has to be strong enough. But of course, I know that my child will be strong because he's gonna be a Lee.

Anyhow, Jem and I have been talking about owning dogs etc etc, but it didn't really materialise until we went for a bbq at Ricky's place last week. Ricky has a female west highland terrier, which happens to be my favourite dog breed. Jem and I were so caught up playing with the dog. Until I didn't really had time to eat, alot. Haha!

Anyway after that, we were talking about having a dog etc and came to the conclusion, we should get one! YIPPEE! But the thing is this expensive breed is tough to find. So hopefully baby has time to go to pet farms this weekend to look for it and check out the price. =)

I'm so happpppppppppppy.

And then it came to me that we'll be sharing the dog, so I asked him...

Debbie: Eh, we're sharing the dog right? What if we break up?
Jem: That won't happen.

AWWWWWWWWWWW. Love u loads my chubby bunny!

oh, fatty does not refer to my chubby bunny. it refers to my dog. HAHAHA.

i gotta get thru this.

2009-07-20T20:06:00.002+10:00

crap, something's wrong with blogger right now. it's alignment is very off! but well, thank God I don't have any photos to upload. otherwise it'll be a hassle.

annnnnnnnyway, just thinking, its another transition again. thanks Abula for being there to always hear me rant and insert some wisdom into my brain. otherwise I wouldn't be able to get thru this.

but of course I'm stubborn, so when u were knocking some sense, I was still thinking "why like this? why like that?". but well, I do admit that I have to pull through all these.

because ultimately, I want to see my beloved happy and not harmed by my grief.

so I say, I GOTTA GET THRU THIS!

now i see your true colours.

2009-07-20T16:22:00.001+10:00

Almost a year ago, I was trying to cool Jem down, telling him that they had their reasons.

Almost a year later, this is still happening. Seriously, I can't be f*cked.

Now I know who true friends REALLY are.

and I was reading...

2009-07-20T01:34:00.000+10:00

Was reading my old posts and came across this.

dc. gwumpy fart! says:
randomania! wat good things happened to u in 2008?
jems says:

dc. gwumpy fart! says:

totally bored. bored stiff.

2009-07-16T00:40:00.003+10:00

I'm bored.

My face is full of outbreaks.

My family went for a holiday in Malaysia without me.

My lahling is busy doing something. SOMETHING.

I'm bored.

Somebody please help me.

For once, I didn't think of anything random in the bathroom. How can it be?

Now I have nothing random to blog about.

My gosh, I'm so bored.

Can somebody by the surname Lee help me?

gei wo yi ge wen, ke yi bu ke yi ......

this is TOTALLY random.

2009-07-13T00:40:00.003+10:00

As y'all know, I can be totally random at anytime of the day. BUT the most random I can be is when I bathe. That is when ideas, thoughts overflow this puny brain of mine. And the funny thing is, I have to keep repeating it in my head, otherwise I'll forget what random thought came to light. This process usually takes 15 minutes. HAHA!

Anyway, random thought for the day is ..................

"Diamond is harder to carve than gold, but gold is more valuable than diamond."

Ok, this is the most random thing I have ever thought of, in my entire life! I don't understand how this thought came into my head. NO, I'm not thinking of that carat, nor do I crave for any bars. It just suddenly entered my head.

I think I'm weird.

Jelemi said that I'm full of shit. Yeah, I believe so! And he rare to challen me to spoking england?! Haha. Now, that's something random again.

dc. gwumpy fart! says:

jems says:

Now you understand why I love this chubby bunny so much.

He entertains me. =)

OOOOOOOOOPSIE!

2009-07-09T00:50:00.001+10:00

I just can't believe it.

It overwhelms me!

This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened in my life!

6 months and going strong.

I love you baby. =)

And I know you love me too.

Here we go again.

2009-07-07T00:47:00.002+10:00

And the lovers went to Bangkok...

WARNING! Photo intensive post. (ok, not so intensive, cos I was busying shopping/eating to take photos...)

Yeah RIGHT.

End.

Work, work, work. Yes, me lord?

2009-07-01T15:22:00.003+10:00

Today, I'm lunchin' in!

Well, not because I'm super anti-social of course! The rest of my mates have their own appointments. Bleah. =(

But well, since then I shall make full use of this opportunity to blog. And snap some shots of my everyday life here, in a securities house. =) Crap! Just as I was about to snap some shots of my beauuuuutiful desk, I realised that the camera (that has been hiding in my bag for the longest time) is out of battery! SHIAT.

It's ok, I took a shot with my handphone. But... I don't really know how to upload it. Ahhh, whatever! I'll figure it out!

Well, I realised I don't really blog about work. The reason why is because I don't want to think about work when I'm home as I usually blog at home and not anywhere else. But since I'm blogging at work, I might as well talk about work.

Every morning, I get to the office, turn on the computer and log in to my email account, info trade account and bloomberg. I'll compile and summarise whatever research notes I received via email and send it to my clients. Other than that, I update myself with current news from Bloomberg and Straits Times, monitor the market via the info trade and analysing the technical analysis of the various counters that I'm looking at.

Mornings are the busiest for me. I have loads to read up and to digest on financial datas. Well, guess finance is my thing after all. No doubt I'm not the smartest dealer around, but as long as I'm willing to learn, I'm not far behind.

Ok, enough about work.

I can't wait for this weekend! I can see Friday lurking around the corner. Woohoo!~

the search.

2009-06-29T23:07:00.004+10:00

my giam giam so giam siap.

dont want to give me money to shop when he goes hunting for wild boar and me taking care of the kids in western australia.

sob sob.

i think i better look for less salty fish.

Sigh. What a pity.

2009-06-25T14:04:00.000+10:00

Commuting via the train to work is what I do every weekday morning. It is these times that I really see the colours, the true colours of ugly Singaporeans.

1. People do not move into the centre of the cabin.
2. People who are getting on the train do not give way to those getting off.
3. People accidentally stepping on another passenger's foot, but no word of apology.
4. People who are sitting at the seats do not give up their seats to old people nor pregnant ladies.
5. People reading newspaper that actually takes up 1/2 a person's space.

How are we going to be like the swiss?

Sigh. What a pity.

bored.

2009-06-20T19:29:00.003+10:00

Yesterday was fun. I went to Butter for the first time! And Shakun says, "Shhh! Don't say so loudly. Sua ku!"

Bleahhh.

Anyway, it was good meeting up with the girls. Even though I wasn't very much close to them, their company was very fun! =) Seeing Kunies made me miss her mom (and curry). I think I shall drop by uninvited one day. Haha!

Anyway, I'm dying my hair red! DIY. Hope it doesnt turn out anywhere near disastrous.

Ok, now for some random photos I took at baby's house.

Younger? I Hope its true! =)

2009-06-15T23:23:00.003+10:00

Sigh. It's monday again.

Like Garfield, I DO have monday blues. So as usual, today was a moody day. Gwumpy fart is out to play.

BUT, at least I didn't miss the bus, like how I did last week. And of all people, Nick Hu caught me in the act! He was in the bus that I missed, waving away (did I mention with a big grin on his face saying, "HAHA! YOU MISSED THE BUS!!"). Only upon seeing him did I realise that I actually missed the bus. G-O-S-H.

This morning, it almost happened again. Just that I got lucky and someone flagged the bus. Hee! My colleagues said that I look fresher and younger. Is it true!? YIPPEE. Ok, that was so random. From bus to hairstyle. Well, that's me.

Jemmy Jemmy Lee baba. I look so much more younger you now. =p =p =p =p =p

^This is how I look on the day I cut my hair, she blew my hair straight and flat.

^This is how I look like now with my hair blown not so straight and flat.

Jemmy Jemmy Lee baba, I look so much more younger than you....... =p =p =p =p

I think I should compose a song now. Hee~!

I cut me hair short. again.

2009-06-13T19:24:00.002+10:00

Ok, this time it's not as short as the previous time I cut it.

This is a long bob, but not too 'bobby'. I hope I look younger! =p

^Before

^Look at the amount of hair! And look at baby's leg. Hah.
No, he wasn't wearing slippers, it's his tan line.

^After.

How?

yeah, it's long.

2009-06-12T01:17:00.003+10:00

This is how my hair looks like now. It's really long.

Long until I don't really dare to cut because I'll definitely feel heartache.

But I really need a new hairstyle. Sick of my loooooong hair. I feel it's pulling me down. Sigh.

But but but.

So many buts. I think I might just cut a long bob, like gwyneth paltrow.

So, what do you think?

2009-06-09T22:29:00.002+10:00

This whole day was packed with training.

Respective heads/officers from the client services department, client account department, contra department and contract department came to give a short presentation or rather, briefing.

It all didn't last very long. Each were allocated 1 hour worth of talk time, but it usually ends 30 mins before. So, we were actually laughing and chatting the other 30 mins, while waiting for the other department to come.

Learnt quite abit about each department, but due to the fact that I didn't sleep enough last night, I felt I was about to knock my head onto the marble table. *ouch*

Today is baby and my xxth month anniversary. We went to this jap place called MOF for dinner and IT-WAS-CRAP. Enough said.

Anyway, baby, I wanna let you know that I'm so glad to have you in my life. The squabbles that we have are just a speck of dust as compared to what we will have in our future. Please continue to love me as I will love u too.

Love you shit loads!

Becoming Housewife.

2009-06-07T22:59:00.002+10:00

Weekdays, I'm a all-chionging-stockbroking-dealer.

Weekends, I'm a (desperate) housewife.

Steps to becoming a housewife:

1. Cook a meal (with the help of my desperate husband)

2. Go to the market (pasir ris pond) to "buy" fish .

3. Descale the fish and let the husband do the rest.

That's all.

Something random, LOOK!

I'm so fair again.

deblogic.

2009-06-03T01:29:00.003+10:00

I think I lost a few calories on the way home...

Why?
1. Wearing super high heels and walking fast helps me lose weight, because I exercise.
2. Walking from the train station to my house helps me lose weight, because I exercise.
3. Walking in intense heat from the train station to my house helps me lose weight, because I exercise.
4. So, going out helps me lose weight, because I exercise.

Right?

Heeheeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

By the way, something random.

Should I:
1. Cut my hair shorter-than-shoulder-length short?
2. Cut my hair shoulder-length short?
3. Leave it long with soft curls?
4. Leave it as it is?
5. Leave it as it is ....... until it touches the floor? =p

Tell me people!

Lazing Around.

2009-05-31T01:23:00.002+10:00

Yeah, and it's Saturday again.

Yawn.

I don't really remember what time I slept last night. But I only managed to wake up at 11ish am. Took a nap again at 3ish pm and after dinner lazed on baby's bed (I dozed off again). Gosh, I feel like a pig!

It's 11.25pm now, and I'm feeling sleepy.

Yawn.

Night fellas.

exhausted.

2009-05-28T00:26:00.003+10:00

I have absolutely no idea why I am so utterly exhausted. Been having headaches and the nerves around my left eye/eyeball are hurting. =(

I drink alot of water, sleep at least 8 hours a day. Maybe it's the food that I've been consuming? I don't think I'm stressed up. The only stress I've got is "when will I get my own computer?" Haha.

Ok, it's 10.40pm and I'm dying. Gonna sleep now. tata!

ps: Baby, I love you. =)

Yawn.

2009-05-24T02:03:00.002+10:00

I had to work on Saturday this weekend. As much as I don't like it, it was quite slack. Plus, I'm paid OT. So I shouldn't grumble.

Went for facial after that and I actually dozed off, only to wake up thinking, "It's done?" Felt like it only lasted for a minute.

I am so tired, I can................ sleep on Jeremy's tummy so soundly! =p

something I'd like to share. =)

2009-05-19T23:39:00.005+10:00

This never fails to bring a smile to my face.

you

you make me so fedup sometimes
and angry and frustrated and so vexed with myself..
that i want to bang the wall..
with my head.. till i bawl..

but its these times as well i know i love you so..
and nothing else in the world can make me jump..
for joy and bliss and happiness to have you in my life
although i do wish you make me sad less
but thats a small thing compared to the smile i have when i look at you
and the greatness of the Lord's blessing that i have you in my life
love you more!

2009-05-18T22:58:00.003+10:00

Time passed exceptionally fast today. I think it was because of the Bloomberg training and plus I had the computer today. Yeah!

Charlene and Cyndi are gonna open an account with me! Double Yeah!

Anyone else wants to trade in shares? =)

I don't know why but I'm having a headache now. Sheesh.

And I miss my boo. =(

Yeah! It's Saturday!

2009-05-16T15:16:00.002+10:00

My 2nd weekend ever since I started working. And today, I managed to sleep until 12.30pm. It would've been later, if not because of my dad's super loud voice.

dad (to my mom): eh! 12 o'clock already still sleeping? you slept for 12 hours already leh!
dad (to beat): Beatrice! safngslsl slngsldgsl lsnklskgnslgkn (sounded muffled cos I covered my head with the blanket! =p Plus I didnt really remember what he said to my sis.)

Thank God he didn't come into my room. But then again, he didn't have to anyways.

In the end, I heard my sister in the bathroom and yeah, that's about it. I surrendered to this noisy family and woke up.

Sigh.

Wonder what am I gonna do later. I feel like shopping! I NEED MORE CLOTHES!

correction my love.

2009-05-15T20:10:00.001+10:00

I love you more.

jem is my gem.

2009-05-14T23:44:00.004+10:00

Noone is able to piss me off with just one word.
Noone but you.
Noone is able to irritate the sh*t out of me.
Noone but you.
Noone can bring tears to my eyes as much as you do.
Noone but you.
Noone is able to give me all the heartaches in the world.
Noone but you.

Noone can convert me into eating red meat.
Noone but you.
Noone can touch my heart with a kiss.
Noone but you.
Noone is able to make me laugh crazily.
Noone but you.
Noone is able to love me the way you do.
Noone but you.

And I love you.

Question: What kinda stock is stock A?

Anwer: An undervalued stock.

2009-05-11T00:22:00.002+10:00

really.

we have to be accountable for every single thing that we do, every single thing that we say, every single expression on our face, every single action that we partake, every single thing that we type, everything.

is game face ever so important? why is it so difficult to be your oneself in this world?

being straightforward is probably one of the best character, but it has become a flaw.

i probably should use more of my braincells, it's going to go to waste. right darling?

TGIF

2009-05-09T03:30:00.000+10:00

I've NEVER used this term before. Never.

And now I'm so glad.

Thank God it's Friday.

I Passed!!!

2009-05-06T23:41:00.002+10:00

Yeah!! I passed my Module 1A. It's suuuuuuuuuuper tricky. The mock papers that I got didnt really help much, but some of the questions were similar. SOME. Thank God my colleague who just took the paper last week remembered some of the tricky questions and mentioned it to me. Otherwise I would've flunked it! PHEW!

Yeah, Debbie is a happy girl.

Gonna fill in the forms and submit it to HR tomorrow! =)

The End.

2009-05-04T00:39:00.001+10:00

Goodnight people.

Tomorrow is going to be a brand new day.

May God bless me.

I've updated.

2009-05-02T02:53:00.002+10:00

Jesslyn is in Singapore! Yesterday we went to Newton for supper and today to Orchard for catchup and shopping!

Well, I hope that she'll be able to get the job in Singapore, so that all of us can be reunited again. hee! =p

Anyway, some random photos coming up!

^Another sea bass from Pasir Ris Pond.

^It's huge right? Around 3kg or so.

^Brownie that doesn't taste like cake. Definitely. Super chocolatey!

^Something totally random.
FRIDE RICE.. HAHAHAHA

That's all folks!

i'm finally becoming adult.

2009-04-27T23:10:00.003+10:00

finally after 25 years of my age, I've turned adult. not that I wasn't one upon turning 21, I'm finally a working adult.

This means:
- no more allowances from daddy and mummy
- no more special requests for gifts
- more responsibilities
- need to start saving

shucks. this sucks.

anyway, been spending the past 5 days reading and studying M1A. my exams are on the 6th may and I MUST pass it the first time.

pressure is on me. I don't like pressure.

but anyway I've finished the book already. yippee! all I need to do is to read it 2 more times before my exam. shouldn't be a problem I guess. I hope. hee!

the rest of the day was spent painting my nails. my sis helped me to paint my nails. I took quite awhile, after dinner till 9pm, but as long as my nails looks good, who cares? Thanks beat!

I wanna go chinatown tomorrow!

and by the way. I want a blue box too. =(

Shopping!

2009-04-23T01:34:00.003+10:00

Yes! I'm officially employed!

Went to the office to sign the papers in the morning, did a pre-employment medical checkup and registered for the examination. I'm quite excited regarding the job, but not really for the exam. Hah!

At night, Beat and I met up with mom at orchard. Had dinner at Sun & Moon and shopped at Marks and Spencer, Isetan and Far East Plaza. I was gonna work and mom showed her support by sponsoring some work wear! Thanks mom! (or rather dad, cos she used his card. hah!)

Anyway, pictures!

^on the way to orchard, guess who came by to say hello? Casper, the friendly ghost!

^Beat with her Teppanyaki Beef Steak

^Mom and I. Look! I'm peeling!

^Mom's and my dinner! Pork and Beef Kamameshi.

^While waiting for them to do their usual stuff, adjust clips and wearing lipstick, I did what I do best. =p

^Look how badly I'm peeling. =(

That's all!

Bugis Hunt.

2009-04-23T01:12:00.003+10:00

While baby went to the library to meet his boss, I went over for Food For Thought! I like that place. Reminds me of Melbourne, I don't know why. David, the chef, is Jem's friend and he started laughing at me when I walked in.

Thanks. I know my sun burn rocks. =)

Anyway, here are some photos of the cafe!

^The menu can be found on the boards! ^Nice cosy place!

^You can sit at the counter and see the chef cook!

^The menu

The previous time I uploaded food from the cafe and forgot to take photo of the place. Now I remembered to take photo of the place, but not the food. Great. My memory rocks.

Baby accompanied me to Bugis Village. To my surprise, he has NEVER been to Bugis Village. Don't even know if he has heard of it before. tsk tsk tsk.

On the way there, we went to check out Iluma(think that's its name).

That's all folks!

Just so you know.

2009-04-21T01:18:00.001+10:00

This is how I look like now. =(

Yeah, it's BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

and so, we went to the kelong.

2009-04-20T22:19:00.002+10:00

Hello! I'm finally back! And burnt. Gosh, I have NO IDEA how on earth am I gonna get outta house now. I feel so, so ugly.

^Brandon caught a queen fish! Look how happy he is!

^I do not like this intense heat.

^Matthew caught a cobia! HUGE!

^Beautiful skies lurks around this area.

^Look at what we've caught! Ok, what they've caught.
^I caught 2 squids and a small fishy! =)

Ok, that's it!

My Darling's Birthday Part 2

2009-04-20T21:58:00.003+10:00

We couldn't afford to go to Bangkok due to the severe riots in Thailand at the moment, so we went to a 'makeshift' Bangkok.

We went to Golden Mile!

Have been wanting to go there for the longest time, finally, we went there, via the train. We're so hardworking! Hah.

Only to find out that the car was at home, my dad didn't use it. BLEAH.

Grrrrr.

Anyway, cut the crap. Peektures!

That's it!

Happy Birthday Baby!

2009-04-16T02:44:00.005+10:00

Finally you're my age. But well, your brother thought that I was 3 years younger than you! MUAHAHAHAHA~! (don't strangle me tomorrow pretttttty pleaseeee?)

Anyway, had an awesome day with my baby today. We went to Keppel Island's Prive (Bakery Cafe) and the food there was great! Service was good, ambience was fantastic. Not too many people, not very noisy (that's why I chose to go during a weekday). Weather was just right, not too warmish etc. Overall, I enjoyed myself very much today.

Went to Vivocity for a movie after that, caught Fast and Furious 4. Woah, the way they race is like.... "smell no smoke". If only I can do that! =p

Anyway, I nailed it.

I'm officially employed. Sorta.

Totally Awesome!

2009-04-15T00:54:00.003+10:00

Went for my 1st "official" life-threatening-stressful-and-heart-beat-racing interview today.

Outcome: It was freaking awesome!

I won't say which company, just in case someone googles that company's name and my blog becomes one of the results in the search engine. But well, it's a stockbroking company and I applied for the dealer position.

1st, I went for the interview, on my way there, I was quite nervous. So I blasted Hillsongs on my iPod to calm myself down. In the HR department, I said a quiet prayer before anyone came to interview me. But to my surprise, the interview wasn't done in the HR.

Something random: In the HR department, I saw this A4 sized paper that wrote "Deadly sins for an interview" - Late, Lying, Inappropriately dressed and the other one I can't see cos it's covered. So I did a self check, nope, none done. Hah!

Ok, back to where I was. The HR lady brought me to another department, where the interview was held and I had to wait as there was another candidate in the meeting room. Soon after, another candidate came and the HR lady said, "You're still here?"

So I was thinking, "Oh no, if the candidate before me is still in there, she might get the job?" But well, soon after the interviewer came out with the girl and called out my name. So I went in.

Nerve-wrecking part begins.

The moment I sat down, he asked me, "So, what do you think of the industry?" I was like, "..." I haven't even settled myself or introduced myself or anything. But well, I think it's a fast paced industry, so I have to be on the ball. After explaining/telling him what I thought about certain things, he only said 1 word to me. Bingo.

WOOHOO~ And the cow jumps over the moon.

It was a morale booster man. Confidence level shoot all the way to 95%.

And after that were the usual Q&A interview sessions. I felt that I did pretty well. So, before he ended the interview, he asked if I were free. So upon my reply, he asked me to meet up with his executive director. He said that he was going to recommend me in, or somewhere along those lines. So he said after the interview with the director and if the director feels that I'm good for it, the job offer will come.

Before I went for the 2nd interview, he got the same HR girl to send me to the department. I asked the HR girl if it was standard procedure if all candidates will have 2 interviews on the same day. She said, "No. Only if the 1st interviewer strongly recommends someone."

AWESOME!

Along with my 2nd interview was the interview assessment sheet and my qualifications etc. When I met up with the executive director, the interview was somewhat the same as the 1st one. I managed to see the "marks" that I scored for the 1st interview. Ranging from 1-5 where 5 was the best. To assess my leadership qualities, work experience, whether I look presentable, qualifications, etc etc. All the points were 4! Only 1 of them was 3 - work experience.

I did fairly well! =)

THANK YOU GOD!

So now I just have to wait for a reply, which the director said will be end of the week.

Oh gosh, I think I want this job.

But I hope Barclays will call me soooooon.

It's time to buy 4D.

2009-04-13T15:54:00.002+10:00

I FOUND IT!

My dad's old Canon EOS 500 SLR!

Note that it's not DSLR - digital single-lens reflex.

It uses film! But at least I found it and when I buy my very own DSLR, I can take the lens along with me.

Which should I get?

Canon EOS 450D vs Nikon D40x

I'm so excited!

Going off to buy batteries for my dad's cam now!

WOOHOO!

dilemma over.

2009-04-09T18:38:00.003+10:00

I had a job offer.

I turned it down. Guess I won't be able to stand doing the same things over and over again. I do like accounts, but I don't love it. Maybe it's not meant to be.

Meanwhile, I'll continue searching for the perfect job. Another interview beckons this Tuesday, hope I get a tough interview. This is the kinda interview I've been waiting for. Those that can make you stammer in fear. It'll be great training. =)

I hope I'll get the Barclays interview. Please pray for me! Hope is 1%, but there is still hope. =)

Food for Thought

2009-04-07T02:22:00.005+10:00

Had a cousin's gathering today! We should actually do it more often. Chatting and gossiping over teas and lattes and watermelon mints and lychee sage etc.

First time there, it's kinda squeezey, but hey, it's worth the squeeze. Price is reasonable, coffee there is actually better than most places in Singapore (I kid you not), but of course, Australia has better coffees. As in, I've tasted better.

This place reminds me so much of Melbourne (oh I miss Melbourne so muchie). The food, the drinks, the everything! Well, the only bad point is its too small, can't really accommodate huge amounts of people. Maybe management should find another place or open a new outlet? Hee.

FoodForThought

Didn't take much photos. Probably took my Slow Roasted Pulled Pork Sandwich and Adelene's Shitake Mushroom Soup. Was too engaged in talking to the cousins, I actually forgotten about my camera. Haa! It's too small, I should get a bigger one. *hint hint*

Will definitely return. But well, not because the chef is actually Jem's childhood church mate, but because the food there is definitely worth the try. (I only found out that David's the chef there until Jem told me after I told him I was going there. He should've told me earlier!)

Thank you God

2009-04-06T20:08:00.003+10:00

Well, God has given me another opportunity. I've an interview tomorrow at 3pm. But the thing is, Cyndi's manager has yet to revert to me and I'm quite worried.

There are many "what ifs" in my head now.

1. What if Company A wants to hire me, should I take it or wait for Cyndi's?
2. What if after the interview in Cyndi's, I didn't manage to get it and end up losing the position at Company A as well?

Oh no! Hate this kinda thing.

But well, I think I'm thinking too much. I should just go for the interview and see its outcome. No point predicting.

I'll probably go for the better pay. HAHA!

Friendster?

2009-04-06T00:37:00.003+10:00

It's been many many years since I've logged onto Friendster. Found out baby had a Friendster account too! This is what he looked like. Hee! I wonder how old was he then. Quite good looking I must say. =p

Hope he doesn't kill me upon seeing this on my blog.

OOPS! Love you too! =)

I miss...

2009-04-05T02:31:00.002+11:00

1. My girlies in Melbourne
2. Pancake Parlour
3. Forever New
4. Madame Sou Sou
5. Snowboarding
6. Sofia's
7. 24 hours K Mart
8. Hong Kong grocer's
9. Coles
10. Lygon Street
11. Mt Dandenong
12. Dotti
13. Chapel Street
14. Soda Rock
15. Bob's kitchen
16. Boxhill KTV

And the list goes on...

I miss being more independent. Thinking of what to cook for dinner, going to the grocers. Doing laundry and preparing dinner. Cleaning the house always seemed like a chore, but I'm beginning to miss it now.

I miss the times when he faked me into the toilet so that I would brush my teeth (it's not even bedtime yet!). The times when we'll cuddle cos it's so freaking cold at night. The times when we chat all the way till the wee hours or rather, it's already morning.

I miss having to sip coffee at shine wearing my sunnies and enjoying the cool breeze, chatting away with darling and Ming. Having Bees nees with Daryl. Shopping with the girls at Chadstone, Bridge, Chapel etc. Having to look forward to OCF every friday.

I miss waking up to the smell of food. Whenever he has class in the morning, he'll go to the grocer's after that, buy some groceries and come home to cook for the both of us. I miss eating on that small little table in the living room of his.

I miss playing mahjong, just the 2 of us and losing all my chips after winning almost all of his. I miss the cool coldish weather on a Melbourne night. I miss the parties we used to have. I miss the bbqs and all the fun. I miss all the fine dining that we girls frequent. I miss Melbourne.

I want to go home. I've never felt this way before. Typing all these actually made me tear. I want to go home.

you cheat me = bad. bad shit.

The moment I heard crab dinner, yck. I was ecstatic.

The moment I heard change of plans, the WAGs aren't going. I became retarded. You know, that sorta look.

ASS! You cheated me and I had to eat porridge. !@#$%

Distinguish the difference between crab and porridge. grrrr.

I resign to fate.

And I was so bored I actually fell asleep on Garfield (youtube) at 7ish pm and woke up at 10ish pm. How am I gonna sleep tonight and how am I gonna wake up for church tomorrow?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Save me.

and we went ... with updates!

2009-03-30T13:18:00.000+11:00

SHOPPPPPPING!

First and foremost, we went to Yishun for dim sum. Food there ain't that great, and I don't know how much it costs, cos my daddy settled the bill.

Mom and I wanted to walk around Yishun NorthPoint but my dad nagged and wanted to be sent home if we were really going shopping. So, we ended up sending him home. Such a nagger. But we ended up at Marina Square!

It has been a VERY long time since I last stepped into Marina Square. Frankly speaking, going to that side of the world is somewhat dreaded upon. I still love Orchard the most. =p But well, mom doesn't want to invade the world of Orchard, so yeah.

Sis met up with us after her very short meeting with her very short friends. (Just joking, I don't know if they're short or not! =p)

And we shopped a lot.

Drank Billy bomber's Chocolate Shake, ate at Lerk Thai and bought many many clothes from Fox and G2000. That's not all. We bought stuff from Sasa as well. =p

And now I'm in Jemmi Whammy's house. Listening to the rhythmic tune of abusive language(s). Haha!

tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. Lizzie is here somewhere.

Updates will be done to this entry, with photos. So stay tuned.

things that u do when u're really BORED.

2009-03-29T02:50:00.003+11:00

I can't believe I can actually read his old blog and feel so super uneasy. I think..

1. either he delete his blog and start a new one proclaiming his love for me to the whole wide world.

OR

2. delete all entries about her.

grrrrr.

i need help.

2009-03-28T03:11:00.004+11:00

What do you do when you're bored and have nothing to do?

Pose for pictures, with your bear. Hah!

Well, other than that, I went for a job interview today! 2 to be exact, but in the same company, same position, but different division. Pay's not great, working hours are long. Should I or should I not?

Should I continue on my job hunt or take this IF they offer?

That's the thing of being a Masters holder. Any amount of salary below $3,000 seems unacceptable to me. What's worse, this is under 2. Crapanathan.

Oh God, please help me. Please guide me. Please tell me what to do.

I love Food.

2009-03-26T05:27:00.002+11:00

And he survived his ordeal!

Or at least something that will happen to him if he didn't buy tok tok mee for me.

I didn't manage to take a photo because the tok tok mee was gone within seconds, into my tummy. Yummy, but he said that its only 2/10 as compared to the 10/10 when they ate it in Penang. Heh.

Well, I don't have a picture of the real tok tok mee from Penang, but I do have my very own version. Tok tok mee that I did in Melbourne. Pardon the burnt wantons and yes, I did the char siew myself.

On a side note, guess what else he (or rather his mom) brought back from Penang?

1. tok tok mee
2. char kway teow
3. mee goreng
4. prawn paste chee cheong fun
5. yam paste
6. kueh talam
7. pig's intestines congee

And yeah, I had everything that I listed above last night, for supper. Bleah. =/

Out we go!

2009-03-23T23:14:00.004+11:00

And so we went to Bugis and Orchard.

While walking to Bugis Village, I came across this building.

Deb: WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS?! Since when was it here?!
Beat: You and Roman say the same thing. (0ther than the since when part)
Deb: (took out camera and started snapping)
Beat: You and Roman did the same thing. Like tourists.

*Roman is Beat's sonny from Slovakia.
He came over to Singers for a few days before he went back to Sydney for his studies.

After Bugis, we headed to Orchard.
Shopped at Far East Plaza and went for the show, Hotel For Dogs.
After which, we were too tired, we headed to Dome for a quick drink. And snack. =p

This is the BEST iced chocolate I've ever had. Nothing can be compared to this.

Seriously.

And the 3 little pigs went home.

gone. again.

2009-03-22T01:53:00.002+11:00

Yeah, he went to Penang again. I miss him and yada yada~ But what to do? Family obligations. Hmm~ Then again, he volunteered to go. =/

Know why? FOOOOOOOD!

This time he better pack some 'tok tok mee' for me. Or I won't forgive him! grrrr.

Anyway, Cos he's there and I'm here, I'm free! So guess what? Photos! =p

== We went to the Singapore Flyer ==

===

And guess where Beat and I went today?

I LOVE MACCAS!

I know that it's coming...

2009-03-20T05:48:00.002+11:00

well, I know your birthday is coming. And I know the perfect present to give you. =)

The perfect present is to see me happy! Very very happy! Right?

So this will do the trick. =)

Thanks.

random bits.

while walking home from the train station on a hot, hot day...

debs: if only we were in Melbourne now, it'll be so cooling. I don't mind going back for good.
jems: yeah I don't mind either, let me know when you've reached a decision.
debs: wouldn't it be nice if we were back? we can go snowboarding every winter!
jems: and roadtrips too!
debs: but then again, if we were to go back to Melb, I don't want to give birth too early.
jems: why not?
debs: cos if we have kids, I wouldn't be able to go snowboarding already. but then again, imagine when the kids grow up and we bring them snowboarding. you'll teach the kids and I'll go down the village run.
jems: wah?! lousy mother.
debs: ok then, we take turns to teach and go down the run.
jems: that's better.
debs: or better still, we ask cheryl tan along! she doesn't ski nor snowboard, she'll take care of the kids!
jems: haha! then she'll be smoking and telling the kids how bad their parents are.

conclusion, we might make bad parents.

===

debs: (while concentrating on my driving.)
jems: shitanathan, I think I forgot something
debs: hey that sounds familiar?! you copy me! I always say crapanathan! (approaches a red light.)
jems: stopanathan!
debs: (slowing down due to red light, but stopped at the bright and hot sunlight at the traffic junction.)
jems: I told you to stopanathan already. it's so hotanathan and you never stop at the shadeanathan.
debs: (going insane) -_-'''
jems: (gloating away) hahahahahahahhahahahaha!!!!

conclusion, he drives me nuts.

===

debs: (hugging jem's arms very very tightly) am I toooooooo sticky?
jems: ...
debs: (after awhile, pushed jem into a corner) am I pushing you to a corner?
jems: (thinking 'what the?!') -_-'''

conclusion, I can be better than him at driving the other party nuts.
