hes been so wonderful pickin me up after dinners wif frens. =)

coz monday nite met rowena for dinner at taka's xiao long bao. she wanted to eat at coca restaurant but it was closed. last min ate together wif lechelle n another common gf of theirs. ate pork ribs, la mian, xiao long bao (definitely), long bean n sme duck slices (looks like chicken to us but tasted like duck). den after dinner walk ard taka n ceinleisure coz they wanted to catch a show.

tues met nyen leng for dinner at heeren marche. rosti! hee... my fav. had grilled chicken breast n strawberry cheesecake wif wild strawberry ice-cream oso. simply heavenly. yum yum...

so it has been a wk of good food n catchin up. goin to ivan's pot luck dinner at his new place later. b back wif photos. hee... go catch a quick nap nw. tata~

woke up by a call fr regan's sch. haa haa... yup. late again. din read a note fr sch tat there is a phototakin session as one of e classmates. zing jen, is leavin e sch. so sad. its one of regan's best fren smemre. =(

but anyways, missed e shot.

reached hme, changed den went wif dar to a couple of places.

1st stop, safe clearance sale at aljunied. nothing much though.

den wanted to eat kfc coz got $5 voucher but cannt find any kfc outlets along e way. so turned into bedok interchange n ate at e food ctr. so angry can.

~craving for char kway teow~
me : uncle, dun wan tau ge can anot?
char kway teow uncle 1 : CANNOT. its fried liao. *super attitude*
me : *angrily walking to another stall a distance away* uncle, 1 plate of char kway teow, $2.50 one.
char kway teow uncle 2 : ok, sit where.

i was sittin in front of e char kway teow uncle 1 stall but i purposely order e other stall one though oso got tau ge to spite tat rude uncle. *bleahz* but not tasty at all.

after we finished eating n turn out to continue our journey to 2nd stop, expo for e sitex exhibition, den see got e kfc just rd e bend. haiz...

we reached at abt 2.30pm. so many cars can. circled e carpark for like 15 mins before finding a lot. n it was rather crowded. dun all dis ppl nid to work? hmmm...

saw quite a no. of gd offers. but no budget nw. can oni c. so sad rite. y dun they hold sitex later. =P

woke up late as usual la. haa haa... supposed to meet e agent at abt 10.30am but overslp wif regan till abt 10.20am den start rushin him like mad. den he always do tings slowly when he noes i rushin for time.

saw 2 units today. kinda sad. 1 is so old but gd location. e other is so new but lousy location. y cant i find smeting perfect?

imagine e 1st unit so old n run dwn till e toilet is squat dwn type. antique man.

e 2nd unit's agent was rather shrewed. suddenly raised e rental for minor tings like storin unwanted furniture. if still reasonable nvm, increased so much. den insisted on occupyin e storerms for e owner stuff. *hmpf* but din wan to debate wif her so told her we'll consider.

ate lunch wif sophia at bt panjang plaza mac den ate hme to rot.

went for my borin class today. basically not listening. tracy was doin her handicraft n i was observin her doin it while chattin wif her.

e lecturer really cannt make it. mumbles mumbles mumbles. tok in non-uk context. v long-winded. late smemre. class suppose to start at 7pm, he reach at 7.15pm, started e class at 7.20pm. tok for 1 hr still at 3rd slide out of 20 slides he has. *faints*

took colin's car back coz dis wk dar mornin shift so he look after regan. so scary can. sits his car is worse than sittin in a roller coaster ride. at least i noe and feel tat i'm safe in e latter.

e ppty agents r pissin me off big time. i'm so frustrated wif them.

like 1 i called earlier 'its $9k u noe?' so?

haiz... n when i meet them, they seem so sceptical. muz b my age.

last wk, met up wif a swimmin instructor fr a swimmin sch. he was practically smirkin rite in front of me n sophia. i reallie feel like slappin him. arghhhhhh... can tell me 'all e best' smemre after our mtg.

feelin so demoralised nw. *sigh*

backtrack a little. forgot to mention 17-11-2004 was mummy's b'day. hee...

21-11-2004

forgot all abt regan's meet e parents in sch todae. haa haa... i tink we r e most forgetful parents in e sch. anyways, rushed to mom's place for lunch den go dwn to sch.

usual comments la. hyperactive. walk ard in class. disturb classmates. but though like not paying attn, still noe wat is e teacher teachin. loves colouring n art. gd sense of identifyin differences.

thereafter, rushed over to c another premise for project 'x'. WOOO HOOOO... its a dream premise man. BUT e owner dun wanna rent it to us. even after we like raise e rental straight by a considerable amt. we din exactly c e owner. kinda mysterious.

understand fr e agent e owner is v rich. i ask stay where n e agent reply fr e place she stay, u cant tell shes so rich. they r humble ppl. humble still dun wan to rent. *sigh*

dun noe how. so depressed nw. i really hope a miracle can happen. pray for me pls.

den dar dumb dumb. we wanted to bring regan watch movie. he nv watched a movie before ma. so i'm like buggin dar abt it for a long time. dar c e papers jurong pt got at 2.45pm. so we rushed dwn. but when reach there e nxt show is at 4.30pm. e jurong he c is jurong east. *faints* already in e carpark smemre. wasted.

so re-c e paper. causeway pt at 3pm. rushed all e way dwn again. though late but luckily e movie started late. sad ting was we were in e 2nd row. so its rather uncomfortable.

we bought 2 tix but as e corner left 3 seats, e last one is unoccupied oso. 'zuan dao' but regan dun wan to sit by himself after a while. keep sayin he wans to go out *finger pointin at e direction we walked in*. tink its seems so alienated to him. v different fr watchin tv ma.

den now if u ask him if he wanna watch show, he wld say 'no'. ask him y n he replies 'coz dark dark, i wan to watch tv oni'. at least after sme pacifyin here n there, he still sit on our laps n we managed to complete e show. hee... if not, waste $ ma. =P

e show is damn furnee can. i like animated movies la. so c-u-t-e. hee... i like baby jet jet best. though hes like oni in a few scenes. but hes so adorable. muz go mac n buy those collectibles le. i wan e jack jack cushion n pillow.

ok, fast forward to saturday. skip e 5 days la. nothing much. most of the time working on project 'x'. e rest of e time i dun remember. haa haa...

oh ya, muz mentioned went dwn for lunch at pz lilian's gourmet on fri wif everyone except shafi and joji. busy wif mtgs. darn ssmi. *bleahz*

19-11-2004

did i mention i cut my hair on thurs too? looks a bit kuku. haiz... i hate my hair. nothing looks nice on me recently. mayb coz my face is getting uglier. bad complexion n all. *sobs*

but muz compliment e svc guy, derek. no doubt he made a mess of tings tat day, but he was of a xtremely great help sme time back when we had a bbq at pz. =)

tink lilian's gourmet usually v quiet den suddenly accomodate e whole lot of us tat their svc was really bad. forget dis n tat.

kinda odd, when we were there, we nv ate there at all. but now we r gone, we seem to frequent tat place mre often than not. haa... such is life la hor. when u haf it u dun tink much abt it. when its gone den start tinking otherwise.

20-11-2004

dar woke up early to drive wedding car for a relative of ours. 5am muz reach e hse. so early can.

den today is regan's sch sports day.

{waiting to perform}

his make-up dis yr isn't as horrible lookin as last yr. hee... tats his classmates ard him. c his not e tallest lei. all e classmates oso as tall. dun noe y. theres mre like regan's ang mo gf, but she go holiday. hee hee...

{performing}

i tink e kids performing were kinda disorientated. coz mayb during rehearsals there is not many ppl n other kids running all over e place. so regan was lookin everywhere instead of dancin. haa haa... wasted e teachers efforts in trainin them for e last few mths.

i tink e idea of e sports day was fantastic. e games planned were interesting. e gifts given were generous. but e execution of e entire event was a failure.

e place is so messy, chaotic n uncontrollable. i really appreciate e teachers efforts though. they put in lotsa hard work into it. tink e nxt time rd if they organise such a larger scale event, they wld b better prepared. =)

attended e weddin dinner at nite at hotel miramar, orient ocean restaurant. its by e 88 restaurant grp. not too bad e food.

but getting there was torturous to me. i drove. den pick up my uncles n aunties. so e 3 sitting behind were giving instructions to me in hokkien and chinese which i totally dun understand. even 'zuo' n 'you' i muz tink abt it. by e time i differentiate which is which i missed e turn. haa haa... tats how bad my chinese is.

actuallie i noe how to get there one. but i wan to respect old ppl ma. so they say dis way short cut den follow lor. end up gg round in circles. *geez*

but when i drove back. i told them i gg by another way. they just say ok. haa haa... coz they noe if they try giving directions again, most prob reach hme at 1am. e dinner ended late at 11.30pm.

lucky its saturday. though i'm not working. i totally understand if its sunday, e nxt day still got to crawl to work. den will get super bad monday blues. or shld i say monday black. ;P

had a long long day todae. anyways, a summary of my past wk~

12-11-2004

regan din go sch coz he had e fever e day before. hence decided to keep him at hme as dun wan him to carry e virus n spread it to his classmates n hes still haven well totally yet. brought him to c e doc in e mornin so andy can take child sick leave wif e mc (c, told ya e dad oso like him, likes to keng, haa haa).

den pop by his sch to take e mattress cover hme to wash. drove ard cashew estate to c assess sme stuffs for project 'x'.

by e time we got hme, e breakfast we bought fr jurong west where regan c doc, his name is doc loi n hes my dad's neighbour. hee... hes quite nice. smetimes i wld just bring regan to his hme n he diagnosed regan n den later go over buy e medicine.

i din eat much of my mee. threw nearly half of it away. i'm like losing my appetite coz i'm so stressed.

went out to meet my partner for project 'x'. finally managed to meet up. *phew* dar wanted to go too but he gotta look after regan. tats another reason y he took child sick leave as well as i made e appt already den not nice to cancel it.

forgot wat i did next. i got dis major memory loss prob dis couple of wks due to my high stress lvl.

oh ya, suddenly came back to me, bought food hme to eat instead of gg over to mom's hse to eat as regan wasn't feelin well n a bit lazy la. so eat n watch 'double happiness' at e sme time. i like tat serial. e xie shaoguang is really damn furnee until can. wahahha...

dar went out wif his frens. i surfed net as usual. waited for dar to cme back den ZzZzzzZZ le.

13-11-2004

woke up coz gtg c 2 premises for project 'x'. left regan wif mom coz he refuses to go to sch.

{almond crescent}

dis unit has roomy rooms. which is a plus but its location is rather secluded. rent is reasonable. hope smeting even better cmes along. *prays*

went to c another unit but din take pics as e cam is low batt. too much furniture fixtures for tat one. location good but unit lousy. haiz...

when'll i find e perfect premise?

went to pick regan fr mom's hse. wanted to ta bao mac back. coz promise regan tat. but end up me n dar craving for 'wu xing chicken rice' so drive-thru to buy a ice-cream cone n pkt of fries for regan den ate at e chicken rice at e upp bt timah outlet. yummie. =9 so long no eat le. hee...

reach hme - regan orr orr, i oso orr orr, dar oso orr orr. haa haa... orr till dinner time den under my mom's command, bought e supposedly deliciously curry fish head at dis shop but i find it so-so oni.

den went bt panjang plaza wif dar, regan, mei, di, cal n jianglin but each n every one of us has our own itinery.

okai la, oni me n mei being e gluttons share e sme mission, ntuc! haa haa...

ah di n cal went to c pets, jianglin went to c sme sports gear, dar went to c sme cartoon discs for regan.

regan gotta follow me n mei coz noone wan to carry him as we forgot his shoes. *bleahz* oni ntuc haf e shoppin trolley so he can sit in it. bought a cheese pancake as usual fr mr bean to keep him occupied. otherwise, 10 mins into my grocery shoppin, he wld b yelling tat he wans to come dwn n walk n in turn, mess up e whole place, making me lose face in e process. haa haa...

all of us gathered an hr later to head hme sweet hme.

14-11-2004

happie hari raya puasa peeps~

hee... i dun feel excited by e holidays. mayb coz i'm not workin. but i dun like e feelin. as den i like dun haf anyting to look forward to.

woke up. den called dad to ask if he wanna go for e motor car show at suntec. coz durin deepavali he jio but regan sick.

returned call a while later to say okai. so changed n went over his hse to gather.

dad's v lazy one. whenever we go out, he likes to b chauffeured. haa haa... okai la, i oso like. e only person in e hse tats so enthu over drivin is ah di. keke... coz he just passed his license ma. but noone wans to b chauffeured by him. too dangerous. wahahahaha... =D

anyways, dar drove us dwn. suntec carpark is full. so dad say put e car at e mandarin valet n let them park. but we wan to save money for dad, i mean i tink its not worth it lor, so drove into marina carpark n luckily found a lot.

after we exited, dad keep arguin say we r walkin in e wrong direction to suntec. pls ok, i got gd sense of direction one ok. haa haa... ok la, most of e time la.

wanted to watch e car stunts but e tix r all distributed out. its like they release e tix 2 hrs before each showtime. we reach at abt 2pm, e next show is at 3pm. e 5pm show tix wld b released at 3pm but at abt 2.30pm, there was already like a super long q n there r oni 500 tix for grabs.

walked ard wif dar n regan. cars dun really interest me. i like e maid can. dar walk in front. den me n regan walk behind. being gluttons, i xchanged 2 walls icecream cones wif e free coupons n me n regan were like mre interested wif the cones.

everytime i bring regan out, when i c a tv showin watever shows, i wld b worried. coz regan wld stand there n watch n simply refuses to budge. its xtremely frustrated one lor. push, pull, tempt, yell, persuade, nothing works.

so car show cfm got lotsa monitors one lor. den everytime we approach one, i wld faster find another way round it. but he did c a few, esp there was 1 exhibitor for e car tv, was showin nemo. he just dun wan to go. but at hme, i say on nemo, he say got shark cannot on. *argh* =S

lost sight of dar after a while. muz b disappear to secretly ogle at e race queens lor.

a lot r not pretty can. a few not bad oni. e ang mo one bests. still put their arms round u to take pics. v frenly lor. e local ones r like blocks of wood standing ard. just a pose, no smile, no change, nothin. so dao until can.

so me n regan juz anyhow wander. wandered to e nxt lvl where they had dis magician n puppet show by toyota. so accompany regan watch. but hes so tired as it was over his nap time. hence, he looks kinda stoned watchin it. =P

watched halfway dad says gtg. so carried him out. gave him a box of pocky i brought out to entice him to walk smemre.

me n regan used e overhead bridge to walk back to our parking lot by ourselves while e rest crossed the road illegally. highly dangerous. haa haa...

{nice car}

{the ugliest race queen i saw}

of all the beautiful race queens my bro took oni dis one. *bleahz*

okai. its 24-11-2004 at 1.22pm. just publish this first and slowly update abt e other days. think i can skip skip skip la hor. nothing happening anyways my life. kinda sad. =P

10-11-2004

decomposin at hme. tryin to get sme wrk n hsewrk done. end up doin neither n was spending 3/4 of my time scrabblin away wif sophia. we r such slackers. 'rite, babe?' =P

1st lt for my new module, btm (bank treasury management). its so dry. e lturer puts me to slp. n i dun tink he noes wat hes tokin abt or doing man. my degree is a uk one. e paper is uk based. e examiners likes us to quote uk examples.

but dis chap juz go rumbling abt local n american stuffs. *faints* i'm in big trouble. but wat e heck. i dun listen in class anyways. dae-dreamin away half my time. e other half chattin wif tracy. poor ger, gets distracted by me. n can c shes tryin so hard to listen for a keyword or 2 to write in her notes. hee...

anyways before tat, dar sent me to sch. hee... feelin so loved. den coz i haven eat dinner. when i said i was hungry, he specially said go to mac drive-thru to buy mac for dinner for me. *awwww*

gobbled dwn my dinner in e car in record time. =9 while regan wailin in e bckgrd tat he wan to eat e fries. but din wan to let him eat coz it wld spoil his appetite for dinner.

took colin's car back as usual la. be e big light bulb. *bleahz*

11-11-2004

went to c 2 hses dis morning. nope. no pics. din take any todae for fear of disturbin e owner.

tink e 1st hse i saw was v ideal. e back of e hse is facin e stadium. haa...

if u like to watch soccer matches, perfect view man. can watch live fr 2 of e bedrms (2nd n 3rd flr) as well as rooftop gdn (4th flr). but of coz its nt man u or wat. its e cck rovers. er, or rangers? haa... who cares.

i hate soccer matches. simply puts me to slp. lucky dar dun like to watch oso.

back to e 1st hse, its nicely done so min renovations r required. goody.

den it comes wif a roof-top garden (goody) n a jacuzzi (baddie). i like tat if its my hse but for project 'x', its gg to b a prob. 1st, maintenance costs n 2nd, its gonna b a hindrance.

i dun tink tat jacuzzi can b moved away lor. headache. anyone wans a jacuzzi for e nxt 3 yrs? free rental. just take care of it can liao. haa haa... =) but i dun tink mr peter (e owner) will let us move it.

he still so enthu go on to switch it on n demonstrate e 'rotatin jets of water to massage e back so its mre comfy' as well as e easy operations of e ting. tink it cost a bomb ba tat tub of water.

dis owner is rich. i tink he owns a few ppty as when we were tokin, e agent mentioned tings abt his other ppty(ies) oso. he's quite old. like mayb 50 to 55 n has got e fatherly look.

~while viewin~
me : so mr peter, do u stay ard here?
mr peter : no, i stay in holland.

mr peter, sounds tootish. haa haa... 'sounds familiar trix?' coz i called her dad uncle tan n she says its tootish. i agree. kaka... =D

hes quite a handy man ard e hse. like he fixed up e water sprinkler to water e plants automatically in e frontyard, backyard n rooftop gdn so tat his tenants dun haf to rem to do e waterin.

so we pretend say 'wa, no wonder all e plants look so lush n green. *tip-toe-in to look over to e neighbour hse* c theirs, e plants like so yellow. hee...

den can c tools lyin ard coz hes tryin to mend n beautify e place after e prev tenant (ang mos) moved out. his prev 2 tenants (2 yrs each) r expatriates. hes looking for such tenants as well. but tink not easy to find? i dun noe.

but his agent kinda sucks. like wan to eat us. its reallie a choice unit. put into serious considerations. hee... but can tell mr peter rather hesitant to rent to us oso.

*prays* 'god, pls extend a tiny bit of help to us.'

den e agent purposely brought us to view another unit. similiar to e one i saw earlier. actuallie he wasnt reallie tryin to promote tat. he wanted to like do a comparision n c e difference between e 1st.

e 2nd hse is still occupied by e owner. goodness. its reallie messy until can. shld take pic n show u all. so ruan man. den went in, got 1 fat baby slpin. so adorable lor. wanted to sneak him hme actuallie. haa haa...

went to one of e rms, e other older son (very old i tink) was oso slpin in dis furnee posture.

dis unit can b out under consideration. but e askin rental is too high. =P

regan was all rite when i left. dar looked after him. he din go. he wanted to go wif me at 1st. but he was gg to look at sme stuffs wif frens in e afternoon so din wan to tire himself out by wakin so early.

so i went wif sophia. but when i was abt to go hme, dar called n said regan dvp a high fever. so i quickly rushed hme.

gave him all e love n attn he wans. kids when they r sick juz like to b loved n feel loved.

hes better nw. at least no fever. he like e dad la. likes to keng. den can get long wkend. tmr dun nid go sch ma. lolz...

feelin so tired. tink my menses comin. hafing a backache. fell aslp wif regan at abt 10+pm. woke up at 1+am to try to do sme wrk n update my bloggie. =)

i haf dis extremely torturous ulcer tats buggin me since fri. coz i bit myself while hafin my yummie jln kayu prata. its so painful nw. tink gg to heal anytime soon. hopefully. if nt i cant tok properly, cant smile properly n cant eat properly. u c me wif dis crooked smile. =/

*oopsie, brb, regan callin me fr e other rm*

*backie*

woke up cldnt c me so juz wan sme attn. hee... told him 'i luv regan.' den wif his eyes closed n almost fallin aslp, he says 'regan luv mummy otso.' (e t is there wif a purpose. he has sme speech prob so his pronounciation isnt tat clear yet. like sir, he wld pronounce as 'stir' wif tat 't' sound. =S

ok, back to wrk. yes, i played cheat. its actuallie 2.05am nw. but i changed e timing. lolz... 'ey dap, learnt fr u?' haa haa... push all e blame of my bad habits to others. i'm an angel ma. keke...

oh ya, now i remember. woke up damn early den go with dar to settle his california fitness issue. waited for him at bugis n tat was when i tried all my clothes. hee hee...

den after tat met sophia went to jurong pt to walk ard till time to pick regan n go to mommy's hse to eat as usual. boring boring.

but finalised 'x' project which is always on my mind with sophia. made up my mind to go for it.

5-11-2004

actuallie wanted to go food fair at expo. but in e end due to time constraints of wat i had decided to do, went hunting for a premise for 'x' project.

drove ard blindly in choa chu kang, yew tee, punggol and sengkang. wa, nv go punggol n sengkang for so long lei. last time terence (my chu lian) stays in hougang so i do frequent tat area when it was undeveloped yet. now is like bustling wif activities.

popped into compass-pt. its damn big lor. so many shops smemre. i thot its like so ulu so a bit surprised to c such a well-equipped mall. e ppl there is sure happie worz. its like causeway-pt. hee... =)

ate lunch at jln kayu famous prata coz it was on e way. yummie! =9...

sat e car for e whole dae. feel like pukin when i got hme. car sick.

6-11-2004

went to look at 2 premises for 'x' project in e morn with sophia n her honey. dar suppose to go but was out till like 5 am e prev nite so din wan to go. so sad. =(

{one of them; e other did not allow us to take photos}

drove ard after tat n bought lunch back for dar. took a short nap. haven been slpin as much as i usually do e last couple of days.

arrange to meet sophia n her honey go ikea walk walk one but last min she cant go. so went to eat at queensway bak kut teh. den dar says its gonna b crowded at ikea so din go oso. haiz...

but made him real upset later in e nite wif my lousy attitude. depressin. *wails*

7-11-04

dar still no ok. still so angry. very angry. extremely angry.

went to mom hse to cook chicken rice as she went to malaysia to visit a relative. din go too well. muz b my bad mood rubbin off on e food. *sigh*

went to view another premise for 'x' project. looks gd on outside but inside, e rms r v angular. so its looks kinda small.

{look at e angular living rm}

e agent is new i guess. so he brought along a mentor. both of them feel so fake can. =P i dun tink they can make it big.

i tink cust svc is v impt in any business. juz my 2 cts la. keke... =)

like e one above, she makes ppl feel warm. whereas e one tat din allow photo-taking feels too professional n cool. so it doesn't have tat 'touch' to it. hee...

anyways, got home. dar still ignoring me. sadded. *sobs*

8-11-2004

suppose to meet sophia early morn. but in e end din. coz din wan to aggravate e tension between me n dar. haiz...

as parkin in tat part of town r v x (like $8 for an hr, dunnoe hw they calculate), i dropped dar off there n drove out of erp to park at e public carparks there (for e non-drivers - 1/2 hr = $0.50). coz public parkin at erp zones r double tat amt. hee... =) so happie wif myself for savin sme $. keke...

ate breakfast, went bai bai den walk ard bugis.

wait n wait, dar still no call, so bored den grab sme clothes to try. cheap thrill. haa haa... =) actuallie i hate tryin clothes when i'm broke. coz if i tried smeting i reallie like. i wld feel so dan sad tat i cant buy it n den tink/fantasize/dream abt it for e nxt 10 daes. *hmpf* so dun complain when u hear me start lamentin.

{link fr dap, cool eh?}

me n dar always forget our weddin anniversary for e last 2 yrs. we oni celebrated e 1st. so bad rite? =P

~long ago, had met up wif e usual bunch of dar frens n gfs, hangin ard chattin~
lixuan : *talkin abt hw she celebrated her pak tor anniversary which happens to fall on e sme day. turnin to me after she finished* so hw did u celebrated urs?

my marriage is turnin 4. i swear i wld rem nxt yr's n do romantic tat dae. its on a wed. hmmmm, mayb...*dae-dreamin*

still rem e 1st yr we went to eat dinner at tony roma's. juz e 2 of us. hee... coz mommy offered to look after regan. but den again. he was still tiny den. so no nid to look after much. =P

hee... come across dis. rather interesting.

its ranking is wif other top popular 1000 names. can c my name so common lor esp bet 1950's to 1960's. ranked 2nd smemre. haiz... wonder wat is e 1st? =)

in sec 1 n sec 2, my partner sittin beside me is oso called linda. den whenever e teacher call 'linda', we haf to ask 'which one'. =P

den durin poly daes, in e lecture, got a ger called 'linda chua', sme name n surname.

was juz tellin cal last nite while we were in e amidst of pityin tat little ger tats on e news lately, a couple of yrs back, there was a lady whom went joggin at upp bt timah hill area in e wee hrs of e morn. but got raped n murdered. body found a few daes later.

::~73~::

met up wif sophia to rot again todae. shes supposed to start wrk but got postponed to nxt wk. hee...

went to eat teppanyaki for lunch at lot 1. i tink e std reallie v inconsistent. smetimes v nice, smetimes sucks n todae happen to sucks. ordered e squid set as usual. its shld b those big n white types but they used e small wif purple trimmings type. feel so cheated. haiz... but its e oni teppanyaki in e vicinity. i still tink e one at bugis is e best. yummie! =9

was juz luffin wif sophia i tink i v cheapo but she sae she oso. coz tat time go eat at e jurong hill teppanyaki there, den its so expensive n i tink nt nice. mayb too used to eatin e food court teppanyaki. main difference is its wif sauce for e latter. den she was saein when she was studyin in oz, she eat there which is oso no sauce n mre expensive den like nt nice. lolz... =D

was tokin to cheryl n shes goin away to bintan for e wkend nxt wk wif her dar, another pair of siblings n mayb another couple. its bked thru her dar's co so its so cheap. $80 for 3 days 2 nites. 3 bedrm villa. *envy*

ok la, its nt banyan tree villas. i tink its a villa resort under nirwana. hee... =) but its still like v gd lor.

her dar planned everyting. so sweet rite. was jokin wif her mayb he wanna propose. keke...

den i sae if tat 'mayb' couple frens nt goin den count me in. but juz ask dar. he sae he nid to tink abt it for a dae coz finances so tight.

i reallie wish to go. reallie reallie reallie wish wif all my heart. coz we (wif regan n younger bro in tow) oni go genting before like 2 yrs back. n tats e oni trip we made.

den he was oso saein bring regan den cannt play sea sports n troublesme (nids to take naps, whiney at meal times, wans to poo poo or shee shee anytime) but i told him i dun mind lookin after him. as long as we can go.

haiz... but fr e sounds of it, i tink e chances r like 0.001%. i'm feelin depressed. =( *sobs*

i mean of coz i wan 'er ren si jie' la. since married or even before marriage, we nv go for any holidae at all, nt even like m'sia juz e 2 of us. so sad rite. i tink abt it i oso feel sad. but i tell myself 'nvm, when regan is older den we got lots of time for ourselves oredi.'

anywaes, i reallie hope we can go. last yr wanted to go. bked hotel n everyting but daddy dun allow. sae so dangerous. smemre, it costs like $400 ($250-hotel, $150-ferry). nw is like total $180 ($30-hotel, $150-ferry). so cheap rite?

pls pls pls pls pls god. pls grant my wish sme hw n create a miracle.

i'm simply obessed wif dis ting. its so cool!

pam knew dis coz e co called "one-joy" rented an office space fr e co where her colleague's hubby is wrkin at. still v new.

pam's one is "little pinky". so sweet. =)

went to e website n take a look. got so many designs. prices range fr $7.80 to $12.80.

haha... i like promotor for it like tat. mayb email e co n request to wrk for them.

coz i tink dis idea reallie sells itself. like if 1 person buy like 20 boxes den its like word of mouth ma. 20 ppl noe. den fr dis 20 another 20 noe if 1 of dem oso order.

dun tink i wld haf a 2nd one so soon so was idealisin mayb regan's 5th bdae can haf a party n gif dis away. keke...

i mean they can transform e box n turn it into smeting else ma. like a door gift for co functions etc. c so versatile! =)

anywaes, take my hat off to e founder of e co. but most prob, he copied dis idea fr smewhere else (another country perhaps, looks rather westernized) n modified it to local context (e red eggs).

when wld i b able to cme up wif sme great, innovative n attractive idea? haiz...

todae's schedule reallie a bit out of norm for a sundae. esp for regan. i feel like its oni 10 pm nw as regan n me took our nap oni at 6 pm n slept till 9 pm. =( so e body clock seems to haywire n nw i feel so weird. haf dis odd feelin in me. a bit xin ku, haiz...

anywaes, woke slightly earlier dan yesterdae. hee hee... nothg much to do. watch tv wif regan in e morn. dar went to mom's hse to ta bao porridge back coz too lazy to go over.

its pam's baby ger, jobelle lee xin fei, man yue celebrations. dar purposely arranged to go over at abt 2.30 pm so it wld b less crowded. so regan din take his nap as he normally wld at abt 2 pm.

n when his schedule is upset, he kinda gets cranky. losin his temper, gets frustrated n whine at e drop of a feather.

{on our way there}

dun u tink my nose reminds u of smeting u wld c everywhere durin christmas? *sobs* (ans : rudolf e red nose reindeer, mayb can go n c if any dept store nids my svcs n earn sme moo-la, =P)

before i left e hse, was squeezin my already ugly nose hopin it looks better. but it got worse. den din wan to put any make-up. so its xtremely obvious. haiz...

{regan takin dis close-up of me, yikes!}

i look horrible without make-up. its reallie true tat if u r nt pretty can use sme help like cosmetics to make up for it. ya, so peeps, my watever beauty u smetimes may c r fake. boo hoo hoo...

{our fav pose}

look at regan's n mine bugs burnee teeth. haa haa... like mommy like son. lolz...

{me wif rach m e star of e dae, baby jobelle}

hw i wish i can sneak her hme. so c-u-t-e!

{lixuan wif baby jobelle}

by e time lixuan's turn to get a shot wif her, shes screamin away coz shes gettin hungry. oopsie... =O

i tink lixuan can do a gd job in promotin baby's pdts wif her winnin smile. look at e baby bottles sterilizer n similac milk powder behind her. haa haa... nice position to get everyting into e picture.

{e babes n e baby}

ok la, oni 1 babe n 3 aunties. haa haa... 'dun box me rach for labellin u as auntie but soon la, once u marry yd. i tink nw u like his wife already. =)'

e one far right is pam, jobelle's mommy. she slimmed dwn reallie fast. so different fr when me n rach saw her at her hse abt a wk before she gave birth. muz b e breast feedin. they saes it wld contract ur womb faster hence leadin to quicker weight loss. =)

i was juz commentin dis pic is so furnee. e most unmotherly one is carryin e baby. lolz...

{regan entertainin himself wif jovan's toys}

hes tryin to wink at dar n his frens fr afar. silly boy. keke...

dar n me were so busy catchin up wif frens tat we short-of neglected regan. i tink hes reallie lonely smetimes. jovan was too busy runnin abt todae wif his cousins. n regan bein shy dun like to participate.

{hangin ard in pam's frontyard gossipin}

its been ages like e 4 of us had met up. though pam was busy entertainin her other guests, rach, lixuan n me still had a hilarious time talkin behind ppl's back. haa haa...

{dar n his frens in e backgrd}

dis pic is taken with a purpose. rofl... 'right rach n lixuan? keke... lixuan, u wan e photo? i email u!' its reallie nicely taken on top of capturin all of dar n his frens.

its been even longer since everyone got together (dar n his frens). we used to hang out in such a big grp every wkend in e poly daes - arcade, supper, haunted hses, movies. actuallie, i noe rach, pam n lixuan thru dar. they r his frens gfs. =) i'm gettin nostalgia again but i reallie miss those times.

dis is reallie a 'quan jia fu' juz tat noone lookin at e cam except us. keke... but they dun reallie like to take pics. so lor.

e 4 of us, e gers, r anti-social one la. we tok amg ourselves. so u c e guys standin in tat big grp. except for e china cai (hanquan's gf) sittin on e swing in e backgrd luffin away so happiely *pukes*. =P

{man yue gift}

dis is reallie c-o-o-l! instead of normal cakes, pam gave dis. so cute rite? got photo on top smemre wif her name. its highly personalised fr outside to inside.

though new, i tink dis will reallie sell in time to cme. its modern, stylish n attractive.

can c e mei mei photo of e baby rite? better dan those we were tryin to take earlier. her eyes look so big. she got double eyelids like e mommy. =) but she likes to purse her mouth. hehe... =)

{cmes wif 2 eggs, 2 bar of chocolates, a postcard n a bear}

its reallie neat rite?

theres a bear tat u can haf a danglin small sunction cup tat u can stick it on glass. n on e bear, theres a tag tat saes 'baby jobelle'.

{reallie impressive}

sme for chocolate. it oso saes 'baby jobelle'. e egg is wrapped wif crepe paper n has a tape ribbon ard it. e announcement card enclosed has 4 pics of e baby wif its details like name, weight n personalised msg.

n u can reused e box to keep ur belongins coz its reallie so sweet wif a ribbon as e carryin string.

i tink dis co is goin to make a pile unless mre n mre of such starts mushrmin. hee... it costs $11 a box but i told dar, they r pushin e prices dwn to attract mre ppl to take up e idea instead of e traditional type.so they gotta to price it similarly to e traditional types.

but e effort they put to do it is highly manual. like foldin e box, cuttin n stickin e pic on e box, printin e baby's name den swoppin e chocolate wrapper wif e personalised one, cookin e red egg den wrappin it n tapin e wrappin, laminatin e msg n cuttin it before taggin on e bear.

e work puts in is tremendous n so i tink $11 is reallie worth e price. if reallie mre n mre ppl adopt dis, e price can go up to $15 to $20. or at least i tink. haa haa...

we reach hme abt 5 pm. regan n me pigged out till 9 pm den crawled our way to mom's hse for dinner. shes screamin away coz we were late. =p as e maid cldn't clean up e kitchen n stuff.

hope can meet up wif pam, rach n lixuan soon. askin dar if i can go out nxt fri already. keke... den mayb can organize smeting. tinkin of tryin out a place char was recommendin. she went to dis place at dempsey rd. ravin abt e fantastic ambience n reasonable prices. =)
