GONG XI FA CAI!

on the eve of cny eve, a very bored bunch of us decided to not go to WB..but instead, we headed to guess where?? .....CHINATOWN! a totally insane decision because it was freaking hot and crowded, and we had a hard time finding for a parking space...but well..we still braved the crowd :)

doing stupid poses.having to squeeze through the very crowded, hot and humid crowd..reminds me of KL's chinatown.hobz with the hugeass ong lai.

"diet piggy cookie jar" - manufactured specially for meems..it even oinks when u lift the lid! entertaining ourselves (booo..ugs me in toot specs coz of mucus emitting eyes :S ) while ah soh meru was in action. she bought cny decorations and spent a damn long time choosing the best "fu". peach got influenced by meru and decided to get an ong lai with the words "zhao cai jing bao" on it ...tsk these bankers!
some interesting sights: "Piggy Porky" eatery - meru's once again..wah meru..it is indeed ur year, and now we know chinatown is actually where your home belongs! "King of the King's Durians"..wtf??? Hobz braving the yucky trishaw for a photo. and Hobz pants..oh sorry...i mean peach's!hahah..kidding...the pants was so big..i think 4 of us cld fit in!

For our reunion dinner this year,my family (mom's side) gathered in a nice little Italian restaurant that served pretty good Italian food. Aren't we hip?? haha...there was yu-sheng too..Italian style..with smoked salmon instead of raw ones..and err dunno what veg that was. Calamari and portabello mushrooms for starters..marsala veal or seafood linguine or duno what seabass for the main course...tartufo ice-cream or lemon sorbet for dessert...and to end the night..a tiramisu cake...which was actually a birthday cake for Mar. Okay..we had such a fine menu because it was also Mar's 21st birthday..haha..HAPPY 21st cuz! welcome to the oldies club :P

cny day was spent visiting the same old houses that we go to every year and dinner at my uncle's place. it was there, that i finally found the answer to why i have been feeling fatter and fatter everyday..it's because i'm actually shrek's relative! 0_0 and the numerous reunion dinners are not helping to make me less shrek-like...sob sob.


and last night, a small group of us gathered in my rp's house for steamboat..wah the food is even better than the one in my house! thanks rp for the lovely spread :) and fifi for the cake..which i forgot to eat...bah! after dinner we went for kbox at amk central (bloody expensive! gonna boycott kbox from now on..28.80 per head for 3hrs.plus extra compulsory charge for tidbits and 10% service charge..wtf! might as well go and rob the bank! teo heng is the best!)..and erm..some ah beng waiters asked meru for her number..hahahahah..meru u are an ah lian who attracts ah bengs!

rp and her confused identity dog fifi ..not our friend ah...

so now adays, even oldies have the unclean version huh?...MOAN LISA...?!??!?!?!

a letter to my parents...

To: My Parents.
Re: Valentine's Day.



Dear Mom n Dad,


Happy Valentine's Day! I'm sure you guys are aware that it is Valentine's Day today, even though you both do not celebrate it, because it's all over the media. However, i am even more sure that you guys realised that this makes yet another year that your dear daughter does not have a date...and this happens to be the whole point of this letter. Ok, no. I take that back. It is not exactly about not having a date...but more about that big peony painting you have on your living room wall. (if you are not sure which one i was referring to...i've attached a picture of it for your reference...)

I think it is time you guys found new friends or asked for a refund for the painting! You all need new friends, because your friends who told you that if you hung a peony painting in your house, your daughters will have "tao hua yun", probably lied to you.OR...the huge ass porcelain peony painting that you shipped all the way from Hong Kong, which cost you a whooping $1k is probably fake. I know! Maybe the flowers in the painting are actually chrysanthemums! Now i'm even more convinced that you both NEED to get a refund immediately! Hmmph! Oh alright...i was just joking.................NOT! (Borat Style..Ha!)In any case Happy Valentines Day once again.

Love.. Hugs and Kisses,
Your Laughly Daughter!

P.S. On the way down to take a photo of that painting...i noticed your pot of newly acquired artificial flowers, that are precariously positioned at the corner of the staircase, under tt huge "Your Dad is watching you!" painting...and they look suspiciously like peonies too...ok we get the hint.

damn blardee good one man....

once again, i am sitting here WAITING for people to send me stuff so that i can do my work..and while i am WAITING...jack's mannequin is blasting in my ear, but i'm not exactly listening to it because i'm busy multi-tasking - switching between emailing and "msn-ing" to try and chase ppl for the stuff that they owe me or waiting for their replies on issues that cannot be resolved for weeks, and issues that my sup is breathing down my neck about..irritating. but that's not the point of this post.

as i am busy chasing people...i suddenly stop all that i am doing because my nose starts clogging up again, and suddenly i cannot breathe.....and that's when i realise the lyrics of the song that's playing in my ears..."you can breathe, you can breathe now, you can breathe but the air is running out......."

-_-" how apt.

after having complained for 6 mths about how i detest work, i am still stuck at the same place...unfortunately. and the only thing i can blame is my own laziness. i have slipped into the comfort zone (yet again) of my work, and although i still face the same irritating ppl and same shit everyday, i am starting to get used to it. like how most of the time my parent's nagging seem like music to my ears (after having gone through a "good" 22 years of it), and how i've grown accustomed to someone's temper and our cyclical fights.

so...instead of making my life even more miserable...i have taken on the office culture of...cluttering my desk. just yesterday...C and i scooted off to ikea for yet another shopping trip...and here's what my desk's like now...

the corner of the desk that i sit at...see my very high tech phone?it's so high tech i dunno how to use it..and hobz spoilt it the other day when she left me a voice mail..now it can't be used!

the left side of my desk that needs to be cluttered further..it's too empty. other ppl have stuff like mini fish tank, speakers, document tray, big winnie the pooh table mat, freaking a lot of photframes..mine clutter's nothing compared to theirs!

the right side of my desk @ snack corner

yahoo widgets

this will defnitely be nothing new to mac users, but guess what windows users? we now have widgets too!! they are way cool! though it causes the comp to hang once in a while, it's still makes the desktop super happening!

so...pls go and download the yahoo widgets...and find you can visit find for more widgets here and here

ipod radio remote

the iphone is just way cool. trust apple to come up with something like this. yet another one of those superb apple products that people will die for. but i've come to the conclusion that i will never own one because 1. i just do not possess the money for it. 2. i am damn anal about having finger prints all over my phone or what ever glossy surface of items that i possess ...so i will probably spend more time cleaning the prints off the phone rather than using the phone. hah.

my latest possession. now i can listen to the radio when i am sick of listening to the only 2 albums tt i love in my new ipod. though the reception's not absolutely perfect, but it's just damn cool. steve jobs and his teams' just way brilliant. oh...and now i don't have to constantly dig my ipod out of my bag to replay "dark blue" by jack's mannequin :) thank you

these shoes aren't made for walking

i don't know how it works, but my shoes always manage to give me freaking aching/blistered feet even though the only walking i do everyday is from the car- to the mrt - to the office - to my desk - to the cafe - back to my desk - to the toilet - back to my desk - to the toilet - to the foodcourt - to my desk - to the toilet - back to my desk - to the toilet - back to my desk - to the toilet - to the mrt - to the car.

OR

my feet manage to kill my shoes. let's see...ever since i started work..i've worn out 5 pairs of shoes. wth. and so anyway...just now i had to go to the shoe shop to get myself YET ANOTHER pair of plain black pointy heels. because i am boring.

and i have to say that it is really nice to know that...giantess like me who have big feet can finally find cheap shoes that actually fit my godzilla feet. the shoe shops finally recognise our existence. FINALLY...THERE'S HOPE FOR MY FEET!

no one told me it would be.... and was going to be so difficult....

one trip to the doc + one box of mc nuggets + 1 fedac = 1 sedated bear(me)

hello sunshine....

....come into my life.........

one of the biggest sun haters i am. i rejoice in having rainy gloomy days, but complain when there are too many of such days. there are just some things in our life that we take for granted, or do not cherish until they are gone...like mr. sun himself. honestly, the sun has been out much longer for the past two days, than it has been for the past one month, and i didn't realise it until i read about it on someone's blog today. it takes a person's blog to make me realise a simple thing like that...now it just makes me wonder exactly which world am i living in?

shit i really have to stop being so stonny and get my act together. but how to when i'm vegging at home today?sigh... time to head to the doc to get my leaky nose fixed...

argh! my nose!

my nose is killing me...two days ago...it was like this tap...it leaked occasionally and a little bit at a time...so i decided to take things into my own hands, and i took the trusty panadol cold. the trusty panadol cold was not that trusty afterall, because i ended up enduring a freaking bad headache in the office...and had to tahan the whole day coz there was so much work to do....
thinking that the lack of sleep must be the reason behind my leaky nose...i decided to take the sat off partying and stayed home the entire day to sleep.but omg.....instead of becoming better...my ears and nose all got blocked, and i felt like i had a ton of mucus stuck in my head, and my eyes felt like they were swollen. gross. and damn it...instead of getting better after a damn long sleep...my leaky nose turned into the freaking niagara falls! i've been going ard the house with a tissue stuffed up my nostril the entire day...

sigh...it's amazing how much mucus one can have. i totally feel like the tap below...and instead of sleeping i have work to do...sian...it's damn sad how there's not a single day in the week that i look forward to :( working ppl always look forward to the weekends...but i.......look forward to...the end of my job...hahahhaha...bah

oh...pls let me talk abt the very interesting things my father has to say abt my leaky nose

"your nose can't stop leaking because you don't have enough sleep!" (ok, this one might be true)

"your nose can't stop leaking because there must be some flu bug in your body, you better see the doc and get it fixed before ur nose becomes permanently damaged" (ok this one i agree too)

"you see...you don't want to get up early to go and choose a new bed...ur old bed must be the cause of your nose...all the mites etc." (huh! thought mites only cause like rashes etc.? but omg...yucks my bed has mites?!)

then when i sleep the entire day because i heed his advice abt not getting enough rest...he says...

"can you pls aim to wake up before 10am on sunday?" (no...because if i wake up any earlier how do i get enough rest?"

"you do nothing but sleep...waste the whole day away!" (what else can one do to get more sleep other than sleep?)

"why are you sleeping again?!" (errm....because i don't have enough sleep??)

........................my dad is super omg.

picture time

Lazy to talk about the trip...so as usual..the pictures will do the talking....

Christmas Eve_2006

Thanks fifi for the wonderful dinner! I ate till i almost puked..the cheese hotdogs were the best! And a HUGE THANKS to all of you for the surprise bday cake! as denyse will say...wuv wuv to all of you!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hang out @ Katong

Bowling and KTV at the cheapest and best place in the east. Thanks to fifi again for staying till midnight and for being the first to wish me... and to peach, lg and fifi for the song u sang in the lift ..the uncle in the lift with us looked freaking traumatised..i shld have video-ed him too..haha..

anyway..britney...u sure u know the lyrics to ur own song? i'm starting to doubt ur identity!

peach had the highest bowling score of the night..105.. we must bowl more, look at the pros...at round 5 they already had a score of 123 and we only have like what 24?!

and lg..u look like u are eating the mike in the pic........

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dinner @ Hilton

Jap buffet at Hilton hotel. Not that wonderfu leh...anyhow..thank you my lovely "drive me up the wall at times" family!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of those winebar days...........when yoyo suddenly popped out of nowhere! it was nice seeing u yoyo (who looked a bit like the One on his shirt that night)...but where the hell's my krispy kreme?! forever talking about it but until now i've never seen it! Until u buy it for me, don't talk to me abt it again! hmmph!

ok...my new year's resolution is to not get pissed so often right....but i have to break it right now.....

WHO HAS BEEN GIVING OUT MY HP NUMBER AS RECOMMENDATIONS?!?!

first it was some finance company. then some facial thing, then insurance people and now true yoga! 2 of them i found out....if i find out the other two...you all are dead! or at least tell me that you gave my number, so that when these people call me i can not pick up my phone! stop giving my number to all these companies, i hate to waste time being persuaded....and persuading ppl to stop persuading me. so pls stop giving out my number!

first working day of the new year. nothing changes even though it's a new year. here i am, sitting and waiting for people to send me things once again. just waiting and waiting everyday..don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining this time round because it only means i have time to blog.

so, in the blink of an eye, 2006 zoomed past without me realising it and 2007 is here. so many things happened in the 2006..a freaking bad year for me, and i'm glad it's over. hopefully 2007 will be a better one? HOPEFULLY.

new year's resolution...never believed in it, but doesn't hurt to come up with one does it? 3 things for the new year, to stop getting pissed/upset, stop saying "fuck" so many times in a day. and stop saying "cb" before it starts to become part of my vocab like how "fuck" has already become part of it. simple plan.

best resolution i've heard so far, comes from my colleague...."my new year's resolution is to have a resolution the following year." that, totally takes the cake.

everybody got a well deserved break last weekend. while people were partying here or catching up on their forty winks, i did the unimaginable...i "ran" off to KL at 2am, without telling anybody, and i came home yesterday to a bunch of angry friends who kept saying "tsk tsk" to me, an exasperated father and 2 sisters who said i'm horrid.

but u know what? i don't care that everybody's unhappy with me, because i'm happy i did what i did. i don't care that they don't understand why i did it, or that my parents think that i am increasingly rebellious these days..because at least now i am less unhappy and i preserved my sanity.

last night my dad said to me..."so did you enjoy urself in KL?" and i said..."yes..very much." and he replied "u ran away from home in the middle of the night.".....................hahaha...evidently, he's still freaking pissed with me, but let's put it this way..there's never a day that he's not pissed with me.....oh well......

anyhow...
"hello" to all the new friends i made and got to know better on the trip, the 3 days spent together was absolutely fun.
to the girls..glad u all had fun at zouk, but zouk KL is much more fun! haha ok..shan't piss u all off further.
to you...thank you for things that don't have to mentioned.
to my parents...you all cannot stay pissed with me for long because u all love me and i'm just too cute (afterall, my cuteness it the reason why chubsy exists!) to be pissed with...HAH!
to my sisters...u two fatsos better pay me back for the stuff i got u...and the next time u complain when i go on a trip i won't buy anymore things for u...because i always end up having to save on stuff tt i want to buy so tt i can get the things for u...BAH!

Happy New Year Everybody!

early wishes

Merry Christmas to one and all..and HAPPY FUCKED UP BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF!
fucking shit load of work for the next 3 days....so while everyone is happy partying away, making toasts to each other and eating their bloody roast turkeys that i hope is poisoned...i take on their fucking shit to finish. thank you to one and all. screw you world.

i forgot to mention that i am down with gastric flu. wtf. my stomach cramped up the entire night...and i wanted to puke. and when i went back to the office today...i found out that 4 of my colleagues were down with it! see...the problem with centralised air conditioning systems.

5 days in heaven

once again, i escaped to my heaven for 5 days. second time this year. the winter chill was refreshing, but the rain totally dampened everything (literally). the usual ritual...eat, shop, eat, shop, eat, shop...plus a wedding dinner. i woke up feeling down on my last morning there, coz i realised that i had to come back to face reality. take me away from here.


oh well...there's no escaping. pics!
peach, mel and jin....look where i had dinner at on my first night there?! our fav...shan hu hai! thank god they didn't play the song...i think i wld have puked out my dinner.
the feast i had that night. ginger crabs, roast goose, stewed goose feet, lamb hotpot, yam/pumpkin pot, fishhead with pork...topped with a bottle of schweppes ice-cream soda. bloody delicious and fattening.


no more pics of my other feasts...but what i had on one of the nights...steamboat at yao guat hei, my fav! char siew pao and xiao long bao meant for the steamboat, plus the fish noodle thingy...and of course not forgetting a nice cup of suan mei tea.


all i have to do now is like look down..and my double chin..make that quadraple chin..sticks out!

2nd day: chubs and i ventured out on our own as the parents went for the tea ceremony. later that night..my mom said to us both..."the both of you should have gone! so many good looking boys there! maybe u could have gotten to know one or two...oh yar and got one boy look like ____". i think they're getting a bit worried that their daughters will be left on the shelf, and they have realised that the peony painting's not working it's supposed magic.

anyhow...after shopping ard tsim sha tsui..we ventured into a cha chan teng called qing song yi xia (relax a bit) and we had weird food like...ribena with lemon(which was really nice) , a bowl of vietnamese noodle with pig liver and meat balls and a plate of fried udon with mother *beep* huge chicken wings. trust them hongkees to just throw everything in, and create a new dish.

later that night...we attended the wedding dinner...it's pretty much the same as over here..but the ppl seriously dress super interestingly. check out the guy below..he looked like a potential terrorist la...way off the cool factor already.


3rd day: met up with my granduncle from vancouver who was holidaying in hk. omg...old people..they just love to reminisce the past. we walked one thousand miles to the i dunno what convention centre just to look at the boh-i-dunno-what golden flower. this was our reaction..."ok nice flower......." damn bad la.

4th day: shopping around harbour city and ocean terminal...branded goods galore. lane crawford wins hands down for it's christmas decoration every year. we found two new shopping places...argyle center and fa yuen street. omg...argyle center is far east times 2. freaking a lot of cheap and good stuff...but if u are claustrophobic or have athsma..or just damn short...i suggest u skip that place. it's so packed..there's hardly any oxygen.

oh yea...not forgetting the other feast at my aunt's on our last night there. we freaking travelled a distance that's equivalent to pasir ris to jurong east for a plate of ginger crabs (yes again), steamed scallops, two freaking big plates of veggies (my aunt said we have to finish it because veggies are damn expensive in singapore as compared to hk...-_-"), steamed fish, cold chicken, cold duck and blardee huge pot of "leng" soup...and to end the night..fruit cake (that's the bride cutting the cake) plus tang yuan. omg...i feel like puking already.

our brilliant tour guide brought us on a merry-go-round ard the estate...omg..walked until we almost died. i was contemplating collapsing at the door of my auntie's house and exclaiming that her house is so far! guess who we saw on our last day there?! shi yi ge! shit i always see him. why don't i bump into ppl like sammi cheng or andy hui or andy lau??? oh yea...we saw george lam at the intercontinental hotel...he looked like he just walked out of the guiness ad. -_-"

tribute to my grumpy shopping partner. u suck. we were breathing down each other's neck the entire trip...u are a lazy bum for making me pack the luggage all the time. but smart enough to realise that i grabbed the wrong luggage at the airport. HAHA! i bet u didn't realise it...but the luggage that i grabbed was a total different colour from ours...hahahha! oh well..i am not the only dumb ass because pops grabbed the wrong one too!

but i admire you for your guts. i dared chubs to salute to the fire engine that was stopped at the traffic light..and she really turned towards it...and saluted! the expression on the firemen's face was hilarious! even mastercard can't pay for it.

i'll never _______ you.....

meru has never taken the mrt before.

dinner with kenny wwknnbccb today...he's as funny as ever..my fellow kdkster. all hail kdk! after dinner...i went to "remember to eat" with peach and meru...and while waiting for meru at cityhall mrt station...

me: meru...which door are u at? i wait for u there...

meru: door? the door got number one ah? i only know i am in the middle of the train

me: u suck la....look above the door...there's a number on the light...

meru: errm...ok...5

me: ok...i am at 5...it's nowhere near the middle of the train, are u sure??

meru: yar...ermmm....omg....HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

me:....what??

meru: omg.....so embarassing...know what was i looking at???

her door number...18 and 5 are so far away la! this just goes to show tt meru has never taken the mrt before.

happiness is shortlived

091206. my first time ever at zoukout. it was super fun...i don't really know what's at the other end of the beach because i never ventured there...but the side i was on was fun to the max. and i dare say i don't regret going for it.
to all who treated me to whatever u treated me to..thanks!
to mar who helped get the cheap deal for me at the last min, plus walking the entire stretch of beach to pass me the tickets..MAJOR THANKS! and i just remembered that i didn't reply ur sms :S
to hil who lost her bag for 15 mins and the tix together with the bag...and then couldn't find her way out to me..no thanks!

to the guys who brought the booze in your lovely cars..thanks!
to my lg who was off cheating on me...and msging me random msges like "i drank a lot blah blah blah..." the whole night..no thanks!
to my lg for loaning ur bed to me for 15 mins..thanks! p.s. lg..ur mama's funny. just like mine. i'm sure if i asked whether i am part of ur family, she wouldn't say..."O_O i don't have a son!", she will say "of course..what a lovely pretty daugther i have!" instead.
and to everyone else...aiya fuck off la. haha kidding...erm..whatever. ok i dunno why i said that for.



walked into the office today...and my colleague char said to me...

char: thanks for calling me at 6am to ask if i was at zouk out the other day!
me: 0_0 no i didn't.........
char: yes u did......
me: errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....ok i don't remember being drunk.
char: yes...here's what u said.."heyyy where are u???"..."i'm home and sick in bed..where u babe??"..."omg...how come u're suddenly sick?!i'm at zoukout!"..."who are u with? are u ok??"..."i'm with ben...we're lost..yes i'm fine!..ok u take care and rest well k!"...
me: .......................shit....i called the wrong charlene..........
us: HAHHAHAHAHAH WTF!

omg...major embarrassment. whose fault?! ben's...for losing his way and not charging his phone battery.

well..happiness is shortlived.

the great ppl who brought the booze...drank ourselves silly before entering zoukout, took stupid pictures...drank weird concoctions. ben's concoctions either tasted like abnn's odour or like ginseng tea....damn gross la. then we had to walk from gateway carpark all the way to palawan beach. along the way this fella came up to me and said...sian hua! here're some fresh flowers for u...eh wtf.

the umizarus.

yyyaaaayyyyyyyy........nakid men...urk.

JUST FUCKING STOP LYING TO ME.
STOP TAKING ME FOR A FOOL.
JUST STOP IT.

the last kiss

i woke up this morning and decided that it's been a long time since i watched a movie, and really enjoyed it..so i sent out like 8 smses asking who's interested in catching the last kiss, and 3 people didn't reply me. the 3 of you suck!

after much smses, calls, frustrations and curses...i ended up catching the show with the one who proposed to me in my dreams (wtf!). what a romantic date it was...romance show, plus only the both of us...when was the last time we caught a movie alone? we should do this more often...only thing missing was our lovers combo. we replaced that with two hotdogs, one coke and a crispy chicken. talk about wanting to lose weight.

anyhow.....to all who have not watched this show...and if u continue reading on...you have only yourself to blame for spoiling the show for yourself...don't say i didn't warn you.

this show presents the harsh reality of romantic relationships in the modern society. there really isn't such a thing as love. guys are just pure scumbags, the only head that works on their body is the one between their legs. like what firefighter always say..."guys, only think with their dicks." if i didn't remember wrongly, someone in the movie said that "love is just not enough". yar zach baraff was shouting "i love you", "i love you" like a mad dog in the show, but the fact is that he still cheated on his fiance.i love you..my foot.

this is supposed to be a romance film right? but all i felt throughout the entire show was anger and sadness. didn't even feel touched or whatever. then again...maybe there wasn't a scene where we're supposed to feel touched...i don't really remember. but all i remember was i walked out the cinema feeling even more angry than i was before i went in.my movie date said...wtf ...such a stupid ending..and i said yar! no kick at all! pissed off. and now i have to go to sleep feeling pissed. good nite
