"Should we get you a Ring? No, just get me a real big closet" "

Not that I have watched SATC yet, but this was the line that struck me when I was surveying my humble 4 room HDB flat bedroom.

I had a bright idea one day and went to Parkway to get myself a clothes rack.

Firstly the idea of a clothes rack would mean i would be able to view alllllllllllllll my clothes in its hanged state.

Secondly it would mean not having to repeat what i wear every week (you know how u just stack clothes up and only see the top layers?) when i jolly well know I have clothes to last me a month without washing! or maybe 2?

Thirdly I would be earlier for work because i do not need to go fishing in the deep blue sea for that singlet or that shirt

Fourthly hanged clothes will generally require less ironing...whenever i look at lovingly at my shirt, i think about how fabulous I will look with that pants or that skirt....but i ultimately put it away because it will take too much effort to iron!

Next reason would be the ease of matching my clothes. Sometimes i really look drab @ work. Boss would sometime give me the once over...and i wonder what is on his mind....

alright.....all these reasons drove me to buy my wonder rack. Here it is! If you can make out the shape...

Can you tell that I have a wardrobe behind this rack? And I have a separate rack for my bags? Should have taken a picure when it was empty...but desperation to get all my clothes properly sorted got the better of me! Can you also see a pair of pants hanging on my wardrobe? That is my source of motivation! To lose enough weight to fit back into it! Its a bloody 'S' size from Ness...I only wore it once!

See my new (well, hand me down) shoe rack. My mom says its only $10 from NTUC...cheap, stylish and super practical...this is just the shoes @ home...i have another estimated 20 pairs in my car boot...



You must be wondering where I sleep....i sleep at this really tiny corner of my room....anyway my room is really cluttered now. Due the the enormous size of the wonder rack every morning i look fabulous and at the same time work out those muscles pushing it around! So like Carrie, I wish for one of those open wardrobes. You can see it on the SATC trailers...she was actually skipping in it! So imagine the length! I want i want i want....

Long time

I received an unexpected sms at 9pm today. My useless ugly good for nothing (UUGN) ex bf sent me the classic one liner "Hi, hru?"

Sometimes when we start to sms someone else very often, we tend to pick up sms lingos and abbreviations from them. At the lowest point in my relationship with UUGN ex bf, I did sense that the lingos have taken a drastic change and i wondered. One day I realised he was seeing someone else and everything fell into place.

A lesson, do not be foolish and ignorant. Your actions will give you away. Vice versa, look out for actions that are out of comfort zone. Dismissing them may not be the best option out.

Upgraded Blog

I finally upgraded my blog. Was thinking how come I can create my company's blog in such a nice easy manner and i had a little time today to fiddle with it! Now i can add fancy stuff to my site...blog away!

Belated Blog

Picture of the Celebrations: And the one that contributed to puking clown



This is 1 mth belated birthday blog to me! Habbie Burfday to me...lalalalalala...well, actually I want to thank those who attended / threw a party for my last 20 something birthday...next year is the big 30 liao...but what the hell? Did anyone not know that 30 is the new 21? Well, some pictures to showcase my 29th Birthday will probably speak more than words

@ Academy Bistro with Fambly

As you can see, the food has taken precedence of attendees.


Present Moment...which will always remain a classic and something we will talk about till we are 80!

FatCat: "Present Time!"

Me: *Grin Grin*

Everyone looking ahead

FatCat: "For you!"

Me: "Wow! Such a beautiful tea set! Yeah! Going to finally be able to drink my Tie Kuan Yin and we can have tea party!"

Closing my box

FatCat: "Hey! Wait the paper carrier not nice. Give you a nicer one to carry it in" (and fishes out a folded longchamp bag. It was her notebook bag)

Me: "Eh, no need no need! This paper bag is good enough!"

FatCat: "Take lar! This one is nicer!"

Me: "No need no need!" (Still refusing profusely)

Bobo: Signature laughter and in between saying "Take lar! Its part of your present"


Me: "Oh! Is it? hahahahahhahaha...how i know? FatCat got so many longchamp, thought she really bring and lend me mah...."

Everyone: Laughter laugher

I LOVE MY PRESENTS!

@ Relish with Jie Meis

In this group, people take precedence over food. Love my presents! A matching key purse with my aubergine wallet and a very meaningful cashcard with our pictures on it! I had a lovely cake from GOBI....it was absolutely heavenly!

IJ forever....and ok lar....one Cedarian...

@ Attica with Tuggers

The only way to describe this hurried affair was a circus. Hum Bao was Ring Mistress, I was puking clown. Hum Bao bought her portable party kit all ready with masks, backdrop, party hats. Everyone wore them. Took pictures and in it went back into the bags. Hahahaha... As for the puking Clown that everyone had to take turns to "eh, i follow her now arh..., second time you arh"....paiseh paiseh

Ring Mistress and her Monkeys, Horses and Sheeps


Da Boyz........guess who is who?


Hum Bao had to run to Vivo Carls Junior to steal this card and made a lovely birthday card for her hamburger! And this was a perfect gift for me! A jewellery organizer!

To everyone here! I had a blast and thank you!

My blue aura

2 weeks ago, i agreed to looloo's suggestion on visiting the angel card reader. Sometime back, humbao has gone to see the lady so has the energizer bunny. Wanted to go the last time but guessed was not ready. The funny thing is on Monday evening while at the nail salon, i was flipping through Female magazine and usually every month they have write ups on some wow wow females. Reading the article, it was a up close and personal with Michelle. A Shiatsu healer. She worked in a place caller Sanctum which also practice angel card readings. Well, did not give it much thought. I received a call in the evening. Audrey called to remind me of my appt the next day. I had no idea about Audrey and she told me she is calling from Sanctum. What a coincidence....Well...maybe its God's way of telling us some things.

As i made my way there, given that i am quite a "logical" person, hearsays do not really interest me, but I guess life brings you to places that sometimes you will not even imagine going...

Audrey is a clairvoyant. She can see angels, fairies and the likes and helps with healing. She also can see dieases through such beings and helps with healing.

After connecting with my angels, she told me that the main aura is blue which means I am a very calm person. I will not falter in times of madness...She also told me another aura is Pink on my left side and said I was full of love and compassion. Well, to give a better understanding and 2 sides to a story, this is what I found on the web:

Blue Positive: The predominantly blue aura represents sound judgement, reliability, and risk free progress. This colour is often found in the aura's of business executives. Negative: May signify an overload of thoughts and plans, executive stress.
Pink Positive: Pink aura's indicate, warm heartedness, love and vocation. Blazes of dark pink often appear in an aura during the early stages of a love affair. Negative: Dusty pink indicates an immature attitude, just fooling around, no genuine love of anything.

I have 2 angels! One is Angel Raziel (of truth) and the other is Angel Jana (of compassion). AR is on my right top and AJ is on my left top
Raziel can help you understand esoteric material, manifestation principles, sacred geometry, quantum physics and other high-level information. He can also open you up to higher levels of psychic abilities and increase your ability to see, hear, know and feel Divine guidance. Like a Divine wizard, Raziel can also assist you with alchemy, clairvoyance, and divine magic. - SO COOL....like harry potter and all....
I found it quite difficult to find information on Angel Jana but then again, she probably is minority angel...but not bad...i have 2! What more can i ask for right?

For my chakra (windows that receive & transmit energy within body) scanning:

• Throat chakra seems choked. She mentioned to me that I am someone who doesn't express myself well. Sometimes i have difficulty getting people to understand me. Because of this, i tend to just bury my emotions inside.
  
• Heart chakra - emotional person

Audrey then went onto ask me if its because of a relationship problem and therefore I am there today. Was thinking if she meant to find out and make any inference. She said she was able to feel that I am troubled...but then again, she might have seen like 1001 females that all happen to be troubled with relationships...contemplating to tell her no....but guessed I caved in. So i said Yes. She said she can feel that the angels are telling her my heart is heavy. We then had a chat about the relationship. But I do not really wish to blog about that here (yes, my throat chakra is choked)

I also asked about my career if it would bring me to different places. She said "not for now....in the next year" But it could have been an inference that I wanted to travel and therefore I asked her the question...actually i was just testing...hahahaha...

Well, maybe just some interesting things she mentioned to me. She said the angels have told her to be more precise. She sees a tall foreign guy. In 8 mths time. I will have 3 children (2 boys 1 girl to be exact). She also see foreign land. Not USA or Europe but Canada and Australia. She sees me driving around. Very busy....like working very hard (shit.....there goes my nuah plan). After all the precision, she started on card readings

Healing:
I have new beginnings (next year), I will need to ask the Arch Angel Michael for protection, I also need to meditate and there is the manifestation of change in my life

Career:
Blessed Change, Healing Heart, Treasure Chest and Alchemy [In short, career is "soon soon" and good. I need to heal my heart (possibly from work politics) and i will find some gains from work and finally the work i do will become gold]

Personality:
Hidden Blessings, I need to indulge more and apply what i learn and use my intuition

Love:
Be honest to myself, I have to be more passionate (?@!@#@?) and look inside myself.

Anyway....this is what happened in that 1 hour session. It was ok but I guess the skeptism in me still quite strong....so just take everything with a pinch of salt. Who knows? I may start travelling the world from 2009?

Second thoughts on Dubai

I finally understood what is First World Hotel (Country, shopping interchangable), Third World Service. When JC first told me about Venetian in Macau....inside myself...I wondered about the level of her tolerance...probably just JC being JC...wahhahahaha...

Well...stepping back into Dubai the second time round...i finally understood how she felt. My first brush was lunch on the first day

Had super big craving for Tabouli / Shwerma (Parsley Salad / Chicken wrapped in Lebanese bread)...so I went to order the items at the food court. I was asked to come back 10 mins later to collect the food.

10 mins later

Big commotion at the Lebanese stall...there is no sense of queue in Middle East..a bit like India/China?

Then i finally got up to the front 10 mins later and asked for my orders. A BLANK look was on the cashier's face..mind you this guy was in shirt and tie and in a food court taking orders. Machiam like part time job in food court during his work hours. He had no answers for me...can u believe it? Just passed my receipt to one of the 15 guys working inside the stall...

I stood there waiting while the chef was informed my salad was missing while the wraps were on the tray. Then the chef asked the person who was slicing the meat. Then the person slicing the meat asked the person who packed the wrap...this went on with all 15 people inside the stall...and i stood there looking at them waiting for "pls hold a moment mam, we are in the midst of preparing another portion"...nooooooooo......they just went on and on until my salad appeared mysteriously from outside the stall....this was lunch

Dinner

This was a super expensive restaurant where oysters (normal ones) went for US$8 per piece...so imagine the standards. I ordered Tuna and Steak. Steak was supposed to be medium and Tuna just seared on the outside. And I checked with server if he knew what seared was. He was yes mam...seared...!" My tuna came out cooked right through. And fillet was rubber like...disappointed

Next day dinner

Restaurant just finished buffet service. We had ala carte. Table was gross...no one cleaned it while we sat for 20 mins. Even after cleaning...still dirty...nevermind...we were already late...had to eat

Walking in the mall

Needed a hot chocolate to wake me up. So i went to one of the 20 coffee joints in Mall of the Emirates.

Me: "skinny hot chocolate pls"

Cashier: "yes mam, skinny hot chocalate!" he helled to the barista "please wait for your drink at the next counter mam"

while waiting. I was looking deliciously at my hot chocolate being lovingly prepared. then i realised the barista (if they qualify) used the same milk for my drink as the previous coffee. When my drink came

Me: "Is this my skinny hot choc?"

Barista: Turning around and looking at the milk "Mam, i used full cream milk"

Me: stunned for 2 secs....with the crow going above my head "I only take skinny pls"

Barista: Look of "shits i did it again or rather I need to do it again" turned around and made me another drink...

Verdict: Drink was horrible.

You see, the reason why I miss singapore is because of its efficiency. I had 4 days of misery there...before each meal i had to be pissed off ever so little...how to enjoy?

I Lurrveeeeee MA LAI KOH

Just to share with those who read my postings. If you ever want a light slightly sweet carbo pick me up. Go for MA LAI KOH and it has to be from Tanglin Teck Kee Pau! They make the moistest, most yummy satisfying MLK....they beat donuts handsdown ANYTIME! i love MLK!

What we take for granted

Why do I enjoy sandwiches, soup and salad in Singapore so much? While I was in Dubai, I just wanted good ole hot Chinese food when there was a ton of salads and sandwiches on display. And it made me think about the "you have a pool but you rather use someone else's pool" theory. When i touched down at 6am, the first place I drove to was Whampoa market to makan my favourite teochew fishball noodles and tau huay zhui.

Sometimes i ask myself if I expect too much in life...like eat must eat good one..prefer not to eat in food court, drive must drive good one...wear must wear good one. I think I grew up and saw too much too quickly. Maybe compare to the kids now, it is nothing compared to what they have...at 17, I had a "driver" sending me to school in a toyota (then it was like "mai siow siow got 4 wheels" lei...) , at 18 upgrade to Lau Pei Ma-Sai-Di. At 19, upgrade to Lau Pei Jaguar...although lau pei's car, but still quite something lor. Sigh, now that i finally got my own ride...I tell myself that i am so blessed. God has been good. I have a good job (i think), nice folks, great friends, i can afford my lifestyle, healthy, but I still take certain things for granted and ask for more.

Over....

Time to start anew again. I was told to get lost. How about that for a change? Sometimes the truth hurts but its good. We will grow from this
