1.30pm - we are at ntuc. i am balancing bottles. cooking oil, potato chips "(mom)buy 1 get 1 free!" and goodness knows what else. as mom walks along the aisles, she samples food happily. i recognise another sign of auntie behaviour.
1.40pm - we ae buying egg tarts. mom is deciding which promotion is more worth it. the capitaland or buy 3 get 1 free -_____-"
1.42pm - i decide that i've heard enough. it's just 3 egg tarts!!!!!! i tell her anything will do n we better hie back to office.

HONG KONG DAY 2

on the 2nd day, which was a friday, we decided to head to ocean park as weekends would probably be too crowded.
we took the mtr to the interchange at admiralty, and we bought 2 pineapple buns to eat along the way.
i love the pineapple buns! wish i could have one now but the ones in sg ain't nice boo.

Photobucket
looks just like our cbd area!

Photobucket
at the entrance of ocean park. what do you suppose he's hiding behind his back?
a cigarette, what else haha.
i actually snapped a pic with him n the cig but he said "cannot, take another one later your mom see how" -_- lol

Photobucket
haha. looks like i can go on the rides!! i'm tall enough! but. b-a-r-e-l-y yikes!

we had to take several escalators to get to the main areas of ocean park.
i was very very frightened as i have a fear of escalators.
it was horrid!
but the breathtaking view up there made up for it. hee.

Photobucket
flamingos! not very exciting i know but i was very intrigued by how they can balance so comfortably on one leg.

Photobucket
floating on their backs! how cute!

Photobucket
so graceful. i tried many times to capture them in midair but this is the best i could get.

Photobucket
i just loved this gigantic pool! many huge stingrays gliding around. i think stingrays look very cute when you look at them from the bottom. they look as if they are smiling!

Photobucket
jellyfish spectacular! though they just look like blobs, i really love the colours.

Photobucket
jellyfish are 90% water, have no brain, no central nervous system and no specialised body systems like digestive systems etc! they are also luminescent!
nature is really wonderful.

Photobucket
beautiful!

we went to the carnival section where bf and i played some games!
like ringtoss, cointoss etc.
bf played some shooting game, he's quite good at it! as i was telling him he'd better be considering he's been through ns! heh. HAPPY! cause i got 2 soft toys and he bought me my beloved soft toy seal which i absolutely love and couldn't find i singapore!

after that we took the cable car down to another area to see the pandas!
super afraid of heights, i didn't dare to move an inch in the cable car.

there were 4 pandas in total, the adults were kept separately, while there were 2 babies together! i can't really remember their names - An An and Le Le???? most of the visitors were swamped at the babies' enclosure. i only took pics of the babies. hee.

Photobucket
oops! shaky hands but this pose is just so adorable and clumsy looking.

Photobucket
they are just so cute i tell you. they kept eating and eating and before that they'd sniff at the leaves first and throw those away which they didn't like. i wonder how they differentiate. all the bamboo leaves look the same to me???
they even lean back and rest against the logs while eating, super relaxed omg these pandas!
such a good life.

Photobucket
look so round!

they are really so playful. we were lucky enough to see them playing and acting like kids! one of them kept disturbing the other. it actually came over and gave the other one a gigantic bear hug HAHA pardon the lousy pun and made the other one roll.
seriously. so cute lorh! they were rolling around!!!

Photobucket
help me!!

Photobucket
=D

i took more pics of the pandas than i took for ourselves. haha. nonsense.

yup! update another time.
busy!
i'll be going back to standard chartered to work part time next week!
tubee collection 15 to be launched next week!

HONG KONG DAY 1

i woke up at 4 am to get ready as our flight was at 6.40.
3 and a half hours flight. i was super restless.
there was a really cute baby sitting in front of us. BUT, i smelled poop for the entire flight! his momma only changed his diapers when we were reaching hk. boo.

we decided to take a bus to our hotel - cityview at yaumatei/mongkok area so we took A21.
WE GOT LOST!
probably alighted too early or something like that so poor bf had to carry our luggage around and navigate.
i overpacked! hehe. oops.
since it was both our first time there, we were a bit confused!
since the streets aren't named like ours. the hotel details said nathan road and prince edward road.
boy we were surprised to discover that nathan road stretched on and on -_- yaumatei mtr, jordan mtr etc. all nathan road!
we eventually found our way after an hour.
their hotel rooms are so small!
i guess our room was considered quite big already haha. not too bad! comfy (:

we were so starved, so we went for lunch!
just a cafe across the street.
it looked pretty good, since many people were there having porridge.
we wanted to order too! but their menu was all in chinese and their service is super fast.
before we could decide the waitress was already breathing down our necks.
in the end i had no idea what happened but i ended up with mushroom and minced pork noodles and bf ended up with fishball noodles.
lol.

after that we went to explore nearby places!
didn't want to go too far on the first day.
we went to those "theme streets"
ladies market was like bugis street! but since hk is having winter now, almost the end of winter soon i think, so most of their clothes aren't suitable for singapore!
but i bought many pairs of stockings, very nice! and cheap too. $4!
goldfish market had so many different kinds of fish it was amazing to look at.
i'm actually quite scared of fish but they had such a huge variety!
some shops even sold HORRIBLE iguanas, super big and ugly i can't imagine having one as a pet. and there was this shop selling huge beetles with horns. bleah.
we also walked to fa yuen street, their sportswear street area and temple street night market, which sold similar stuff as ladies market.
really a girl's paradise! if only i were rich! bf declared that place hell. haha!
and he complained that his legs were very tired.

went into a random cafe for dinner and as usual, we didn't know what we ordered but it was very nice!
udon noodles in very yummy and spicy soup.
he asked me to try curry fishballs too as he said it's quite special and can't be found over here.
i ate it while drinking milk tea. big mistake! it made my stomach churn.
i have now developed an aversion to milk tea. but i love the curry fishballs!
makes my tongue numb. very high. hehe.

we walked and walked until 10 plus 11? so tired. and we did that everyday!
and oh. my skin was fine when we went there but the air there is so polluted i have rashes on my face now =(


super packed hk streets on a thursday afternoon. why ah? no work?




our fave stall for sausage/curry fishball and smelly tofu in his case

continue this another day! time for chocolatier! very fun and looks yummy!

I'M HOME!

hi dears!
i'm back from my hk trip!

many things to do, and i'm all worn out from the trip!
i had fun, but i'm glad to be back in singapore i must say.
i'm scared of cold!

i'll update soon i guess.

(:

i miss muffin so muchhhh, my dear babyboy!
haven't seen him for almost a week!

Photobucket

haha just joking, anyway we caught Defiance!
it was pretty good, had several funny parts and not those lame jokes.
what i really want to watch is Pink Panther 2!
i really liked the first show, cute!

i've been spending good quality time with my baby boy.
he's so adorable.
look!
Photobucket
he has this very naughty face when he's up to no good.

Photobucket
see the last 3 pics?
first he gave me "the look", then he went and messed up the cloth,
followed by my shoes and slippers.
ah!
he's even sitting on a chair, he claimed it for himself.

i'll be in hongkong tomorrow!
so excited.
haven't planned where and i haven't packed either.
oops!

tsk.

i have so many things to do,
sorry wanjun and mabel!

SWEET DREAMS BYE AND BYE

I WANT THE INTANGIBLES

okay I guess this is an important enough topic for so many people to bring it up.
haha.
so I think I'll answer this burning question now.

here's the million dollar question.

WHY DO I TAKE SO LONG TO BATHE?

-_- laugh if u must. haha. i know it's funny bleah.

1. i have some obsession with cleanliness. my bf can testify. goodness knows how many times a day i ask him to go wash his hands. oh he is very obliging alright, but he mutters "鸡蛋糕" in an undertone.

2. the.toilet.is.my.sanctuary. well, last time mostly. nowadays once in a while, but more out of habit? let me explain. see, you know my relationship with my mom is a bit rocky, and she's not exactly the most sensitive and tactful person. i know that she doesn't always do it on purpose, but you know, when you're feeling down it doesn't matter cause everyting just seems to suck when you're sad. so yes, whenever i was unhappy i had to hide in the toilet, cry it all out and paste on a smile when i got out. so it's sort of a habit now. whatever problems i have or some knotty issue, i'll think about it when i'm bathing and i won't come out till i've finished thinking. usually by then i'd be fine, and if i can't sort out my problems in the bathroom, i'd explode when i come out -_-

see! it's not ALL because i'm slow. though i'd say it contributes a large part to it. hehe.

just now i was feeling moody because people have been talking to me about money all day.

i mean, of course i know i have to get a job after i graduate but you don't have to tell me that every single day the moment you step into the house right?
honestly, i'm already thinking about it i don't need you to tell me again and again. urghhhh.

today,
"she earns $10,000 a month do you know?"
...
like hello, i know ___ is capable but she happens to be TEN YEARS older than me, so how can you make such a comparison???

and later again,
"why don't you go ___'s company and work? can get the benefits..."
ohmy....she's in IT AUDIT!! how do i work there when i've never studied that zzz

sometimes communicating is such an uphill task.

and to me, not everything is about money.
i've said this before, and it's still the same.
my goal in life, is to have a happy family.
nice husband, healthy kid, some rabbits and dogs! =D
i'd be so happy.
of course i'm not an idiot, i'm quite aware that though money can't buy everything, it can buy many things la!
but don't equate everything with money can =(
some things are meaningful, and cannot be tagged with a monetary value.

i want the intangibles - the sweet smiles, warm fuzzy feeling, butterflies in the stomach,
because sometimes along the way, we get too carried away and forget the little things in life
(:

i took pics of my little boy today! shall post them after i'm done with 2 more pages.
he's so cute he makes me so happy!

YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!



yeah!!!!!! i leapt off my seat in excitement.
finally man! i've been waiting for my results for the past month!
only just managed to check it as i've just received my student number..

whooooooooohooooooooooo. okay very happy and very motivated to do work now.
eeeeeeeeyahooooooooo!

happy day happy day!

AH, WELL

Photobucket


i was really annoyed with someone just now.
to you,
i really don't see why you have to keep criticizing me when you're supposed to be my friend.
sure you apologized, but you've done this so many times before it's meaningless to me
i can't be bothered with your insults anymore.
6 pages left.
i need motivation in the form of fries and ice-cream >.<


PROBABLY, MAYBE?

oh dear me =(
i've only just come home, my comp was fine last week,
no nonsense no nothing.
but when i turned it on today,
multiple threat infection.
waaaaatttttttttttttttt?????? from what??

why oh why i'm super upset now.

that aside, let me see what i've been up to ever since i disappeared.

i had a super pmsy week, real bad. think it was one of the worst ones i've ever had.
so i wasn't the brightest ray of sunshine, in fact i think i was real horrible.
i shouted for no reason and cried like a flood -_-
poor boyfriend.
luckily he's very understanding.

explored jurong point. don't like it. way too big and not organized at all. couldn't find our way around.

ate at fig & olive for the first time and boy i love it!
jasmine it's fantastic! maybe the one at vivo just spoils market.
i finished every morsel of food.
whoopee!

went kbox with my bf and went crazy by myself.

kebab at suntec! yums!

watched love matters. quite funny but i'm not really feeling the storyline. thought it was a bit fluffy?

accessorize is having a sale! i got myself three new hairbands! i still want one with a big bow on it! must find!

joined the ranks of mahjong newbie.
