How has your Chinese New Year been?

In case you do not know, Chinese celebrates 15 days for our new year! And, today is a special day!

It's 立春! This day is meant to celebrate the first day of spring in our Chinese culture!

And so, my family prepared a packet each, put our wishes into it, and hanged up at our doors!

Here is mine!

Little cup cake bought by the CM boss from Oni Cupcakes! Pretty yea! Not only is it pretty, it's delicious too!

Check it out at www.onicupcakes.com

What is cny without gamble?

Although I do not gamble, there is no harm eating this deck of monies!

Yes! I typed 'eat'! Because it's a chocolate! Thank you michie for this pretty poker chocolate!

Anyway, the deck is inedible

The monies that went down my tummy :) oops I m growing my tummy fats with these! Irresistible!

Prata - Singapore's culture

2012-01-28T23:07:00.001+08:00

I am a Prata lover! This is a great dish for any tourist visiting Singapore, if you love bread/ flour, try this!

I am sharing on two pratas places today.

Firstly, Amk hub's Ah Mei cafe!

I love eating pratas with ice milk tea! Ah Mei's milk tea is slightly sweeter.

Their cheese Prata! Not cheap! But it's nice...

Yes! Factor: the Prata is crispy, the cheese is unique enough to blend with the curry

Nah! Factor: the cheese is too small :( would appreciate to have more

Second place... Prata Wala at Tampines Mall

Take a table number for your order

Clean and spacious!

Milk tea! This milk tea is just nice in taste! It's a huge cup! But not too sweet, not too blend, and with the taste of silk tea! Slurp!

Cheese Prata again!

Yes! Factor: the cheese is plentiful! Makes me feel its absolute worth of price paid!

Nah! Factor: the plate is too small to fit the big Prata, so the first few bites posed slight issues to me

Are you a Prata lover too? I would love to try Durian Prata too!

Puzzled

2012-01-19T15:35:00.001+08:00

Something which I don't understand...

Some people asked me, 'Eileen, why do you buy your iPad/ iPhone covers from regular shops, gmarket, and from online stores, when you can get the items from me? I get for you at cheaper price...'

My answer is, ' because your store don't sell what I want!'

Isn't it simple? Instead of asking me, why I do not look at your stocks, why I don't support you... Did you ever ask yourself, do you think your items are suitable to everyone?

In addition, there are so many choices out there. As a consumer, I have every right to decide which item is my style, suitable to me.. Just go to Ang Mo Kio, there is easily 5 to 10 stores selling covers.

I like covers that are durable, cute, pretty and bling! I don't want the usual types that everyone is having.

Think about beauty product stores, there is at least 6 stores from guardian, watsons, Venus etc, selling similar products, just different price.

Same goes to wears and outfits, there is many blogshops, retail stores, departmental stores selling clothes. What makes you think your clothes will suit me?

Frankly speaking, when I introduce a shop here (on my blog), i am not charging anything. I'm just sharing where I got my items from.

I have a friend, who is very nice. When I wanted something, I will ask if she has. She will asked from her supplier, and helped me to get what I want. Her great service, good quality products, and suitable items, are just what I want!

I have a friend who has a shop in bugis, I used to buy alot from her, until she changed her items to retro style, which is not to my style. She understands it, and if anyone were to ask me where can they get a retro theme clothes, I will gladly tell them to get from her.

Anyway, if you can't take advices, and criticism, then why bother to ask me how others can succeed, as if i will know? I am not a model, so I don't know how to carry myself in different styles. Isn't it ironic of some people?

2012-01-06T21:51:00.001+08:00

It's 6th of January today. A day which makes me smile. Had been studying on Christmas day 2011 and new year day on 1st January, when many of you are out partying and enjoying life.Since young I wasn't one who has good memory. My studies wasn't fantastic. But the saying of 'try my best ' works. I did my best, and was rewarded. It's satisfying! My skin is totally gone from the late nights studying after work, surviving on coffee daily so that I can perform well during the day time for my work. Hard work paid off! Rescue my face now!

Super unglam photo! But who cares! I m giving my skin a pamper!

Have a 'Charm-ing' 2012

2012-01-02T16:26:00.001+08:00

Got a new charm from Samantha Thavasa on 1/1/2012... Been eyeing it since that day I bought my bag from them.

I m sold to the blue bag!

3d cake design

This picture is taken from the facebook of Samantha thavasa. I m not sure why the one I got was totally different from the one featured on the photo.

Anyway, it's alright, since the pink is better then the colorful Xmas design for future usage. Fated anyway!

A new decoration for my bag. Why do I hang it on my bag then?

A sample of the usage of this charm - its a bag hanger!!

This little bear is a freebie from my purchase of bag, which costs $79 in store. Hmm, thanks ST!

Little tips in life - how to solve your monthly cramps

2012-01-02T00:13:00.002+08:00

As a lady, it's an agony to me whenever my 'aunty' visits every month. Even though it is just a period of 5 to 7 days, but these can add up to 84 days in a year of bleeding...

If bleeding isn't bad enough, we experienced cramps, backaches, shivers etc. As my health is very weak since birth, cramps are so frequent in every 'aunty' visit. I remembered during my polytechnic days, I will have to skip lectures to go home, when the pain got so bad, I looked very pale and fainting anytime.

The old trick is, the hot water pack! It always works when I used this to ease the cramps. But, how often can we use this, when we are schooling or working, or worse, on an overseas trip?

My new method to introduce... Heat pack!

Yes, these look familiar. I got these for my november 2011 shanghai trip, and they are very useful!

Not only do they kept me warm, during my cramps, one pack is all i need that day to ease the pain, working exactly like hot water pack, except that you do not need to find the container and to boil water...

This was bought in China's Watson , can last up to 12 hours per pack. Imagine you need it so badly in the cold lecture halls... And this is very light and portable. Just remove the plastic, and paste it over your thin inner wear at abdominal area, and you will feel comfortable.

This is bought in Singapore's Chinatown.

As the winter season is drawing to a close and many places are having sales for such winter items, get them now and keep for in case.

Disclaimer: this is not an advertorial. Use this method at your own risk. Do not use it directly to skin, as delicate skin can get burnt!! Always wear a thin cloth before pasting the pack on.

Welcome 2012

2012-01-01T04:16:00.001+08:00

As we just say Goodbye to year 2011, let's say HELLO to Year 2012! :)

I have been looking forward to 2012, as it will be a better year.

In life, there is always a period of ups and a period of downs. Since 2011 was a 'down' period for me, so 2012 will be an 'UP' Period!!

To reward myself for pulling through 2011 with great pains that I been through, and to welcome 2012, I got myself a little present.

Disclaimer: I did not get my bonus yet, and I paid it by myself.

Introducing... Samantha Thavasa!

In case you do not know, this brand came from Japan, and has its boutique at Ion Orchard. The brand is widely popular in Japan, featured by ViVi magazine, endorsed by international celebrity.

As I have grown sick of looking at brands that have grown so common and everyone just have one of them on the streets, this brand is relatively new in Singapore, yet the designs are unique.

Limited edition Christmas 2011 Disney edition ( featuring winnie the pooh, instead of the usual signature bear)

The charms and ribbons are detachable

A sling bag for casual look

Free charm that comes together for my purchase, exclusively for the Christmas edition

And so, how did you count down to 2012?

2011-12-26T00:01:00.007+08:00

There will be four posts for this China Trip. First of all, Merry Christmas to all! I hope my wish will be fulfilled.

I starting blogging on christmas day 7pm, all the way till now. Who says uploading and blogging is easy?

Ok... Here goes the post, of my trip from 28 Nov 2011 to 5 Decemeber 2011

China Eastern Airline

China has their sky darken very early, as early as 5pm, it will look like the picture below...

Mummy

The view from the tower, Splendid!

After that tower exploring, we went for a river cruise...

And I was surprised, by being able to see my taekwondo instructor, Sir Lee!

After the cruise, we went for dinner and headed to the hotel. I love this hotel, as they have wifi.

Nanjing Road in Shanghai

Mini train ride

Chen Huang Miao next...

Singapore's xiao long bao is really overpriced... Look at this below!

We went on a bus journey, to Su Zhou's Zhou Village

Their specialty - Salt water duck

Shanghai Trip Day 5 and 6

2011-12-25T21:13:00.013+08:00

After day 4 of hectic events, we checked into hotel again...

The local guide Xiao Wu

We left the hotel however, its the first time in our tripthat the tour group has two lugagges misplaced. The highest temperature is only 6 degree celcius, and it is actually way lower.

We visited the Chang Jiang Da Qiao, and its only 1 degree...

Its freezing cold

Next, Jade...

Introduction to jade by our local guide, Xiao Wang

Lunch at the Jade restaurant

The chinese are fond of having beers for their meals

After 6 hours of bus ride, we finally reached Yi Wu and have our dinner. We managed to witness an interesting Chinese Wedding Banquet, where they have lucky draws and performances.

Check in to the Yi Wu hotel

This room at Yi Wu is a bit unusual. The room has its mirror right in front of the bed. Mummy and I went for massage, and the hotel actually short circuit twice!

However, the massage is refreshing, and it only costed us RMB 58 per pax. Fantastic service, the massure actually helped to put an extra blanket on me during the short circuit, in case i feel cold due to the faulty heater.

Good morning world!

Yes, its 7 Degree Celcius

The above photo is the YiWu shopping centre, mostly for distributors and very limited retailing.

We took a bus ride, from Yi Wu to Hangzhou.

Local guide is Xiao Hu

Xi Hu is so pretty!

Breath taking sunset!

After the boat we went for a stroll....

The walk is very long, but it is a healthy stroll

We dined in this classy place for dinner

This is an actual toilet, in the restaurant

Look at mummy in the interestin toilet

Mummy and I went shopping while waiting for the rest

Majority of the tour group went for this show.

Actually, this is part of the optional tour, payable at SGD 80 per pax, which includes some boat rides we took earlier. However, mummy and I decided not to go ahead, but the tour guide insisted to, so we had an argument over it. And so, we agreed to pay SGD 40, and not go for this show.

Meaning to say, this show is worth $40, but one of our tour mates mentioned that the published price worth SGD30 only.

My mummy having her ice cream...

Shanghai Trip Day 7 and 8

2011-12-25T19:45:00.015+08:00

After the tiring day of day 6, we checked in to the hotel for our night rest....

Apparently, this toilet is one of the more amazing one which I have stayed in for this trip, the other one will be mentioned later...

Look at the standing shower! Its partly translucent! Romantic luh! Isnt it pretty?!

*Heart Melts*

The lobby resting area, while we checked out for day 7's journey... The only bad point about this hotel, is the lack of internet wifi! :(

And yes! Look at the temperature., 5 degree celsius.. As mentioned, this is the temperature inside the bus, can u imagine how chilling it is, outside of the bus?

Hangzhou is really a very relaxing and beautiful place... I love the weather and the peacefulness

The tea manufacturing and retail place...

The sample tea for us....

This speaker is quite cute in his presentation

Next, Lunch time!

The restaurant we dined in...

As I hardly takes photo of foodie in this trip, this is a worthy shot to recommend, the super duper nice chicken!

Chicken

The egg omelette is very cripsy and yummy

From here, we left handzhou and leave for Shanghai!

Tong Ren Tang! This is a very funny place... Full of conmens and funny tricks... But well, its up to individual on how much they want to believe them.

Performance at Dinner place... New concept to us uh!

Check in to the day's hotel, which is the same hotel as the very first day! However, to my disappointment, as we are at level 6, the hotel wifi is only restricted to level 3. Thus, I have to move myself to the lobby for the short access...

Another interesting toilet! This is even more amazing then the previous introduction...

The exterior of the hotel

Big Sofa!

See my turtle... So cute...

Our breakfast area

Our tour guide for the entire journey, "Xiao Chen"

Visit to a retail jade store

All jade stores seemed to have this on display

A photo with the young Singaporean, who is a lecturer in China's University

China is really a good place for good buys! Bought a large luggage for SGD 36 and a medium luggage for SGD 20 only!

As our last meal in China wasnt included in the package, we went to eat after buying our luggages.

Mummy's signature spicy ramen, costing only RMB 13 Woohoo!!

My mushroom ramen that costs only RMB 10

Nice clouds patterns

Growing up

2011-11-26T20:37:00.001+08:00

It's the day of the year... And I turned 24 this year, the fire rabbit.

I take it that I m still growing up, despite my age, because I m constantly improving myself from now on.

Met my girls on 24 nov to celebrate the day in advance at Nex

Thanks ladies for the cake and the two presents!

Today, mummy cooked red eggs for me

A glance at my presents

Ultra pretty pen from Elizabeth, it's a surprise, as this lady only got to know its my birthday on CheeYang's wedding banquet last night, and she sneaked out to get me this surprise. Thank you!

I love collagen and stuffs. Thank you Jonathan for the present :)

Sexy perfume from Colin

Coach wristlet ( nice design ) from my ladies

Shiseido skin care from Kim n ting

How did I spent my day then?

After the wedding dinner last night, I met him at plaza sing. Ever since my 21st birthday, I usually past the 12 midnight at home.

He is cute, by sending me an SMS to wish me at 12 midnight, when he was just sitting opposite me at Starbucks. I was stunned by the SMS, thus replied back after several minutes.

Yes, I replied via SMS. Because I m uncertain on how to put the message across.

Happy start for the day!

Went to vivo to have lunch w family at 'Dian xiao er', and i treated them to Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

A birthday that's unforgettable, because I got many blessings an wishes on fb, whatsapp, and met up w those I loved.

3 more hours to go... I wish I can see him...

I had always wanted to do all these...

But when I almost had you...

Things went so wrong that we have to let go of each other...

And learnt the true meaning of love, probably for the future if I ever will have

And can only hope that there is still hope for me in the future

So many things had happened, I had a beautiful dream, something too good for me, that's y it was taken away. Now I felt I m in a pit. I hope to get out of it soon.

I hope myself and those who matters to me, those whom I love, could live with a sick-free, healthy and happy life.

Probably it's just a cinderella glass slipper. Happiness is just short lived.

4s vs 3GS

2011-11-02T18:37:00.001+08:00

The ever popular and most commonly used phone - iPhone!

I have converted to be an iPhone user two years plus back. In the past I will change my mobile set as often as every half yearly. But since I had my 3GS, it served me for two years. Good job!

Now that it is old, n it's time for retirement, I have gotten my 4s in time. It's a pity that 5 wasn't launched, but well, a better camera in 4s can work wonders for me too!

I have never thought that I will meet such a nice man like you, who makes me feel, past doesn't matter, what matters is the present.

But destiny has put it this way, that we shouldn't even think of being together.

Probably it's the smiles on our faces that makes fate jealous of us.

Family Day 26 Oct 2011

2011-10-27T20:06:00.003+08:00

A nation declared public holiday Deepavali for our Hindu friends!

My whole family is off, and we declared it as family day!

We set off in the morning to Punggol Waterway, but it was too hot. Daddy wanted to play golf at the Punggol Golf Range, and there we are....

Four of us sit down and watch him play.

Went to GV tampines for a movie "Three Musketeers" then to bedok for our dinner.

Its quite a big restaurant

Brother & me!

I must say, this is the second best cereal prawns ever tasted!

Murdoch Graduation 2011

2011-10-27T19:14:00.005+08:00

After 2 years of part time studies with SMA Murdoch University, we finally graduated. 10 Oct 2011. What a nice date!

It begins as a rainy day. Vincent picked Deborah and myself up and we headed to Raffles Convention to collect our regalia.

You must be wondering why is our regalia red? I think its probably the colour representing the school.

We took some pictures with the regalia at Marina Barrage before the ceremony commence in the evening.

Ok, i look like I need to use the toilet with this facial expression.

My parents

My best sister in Murdoch! She finally fulfilled her wish in taking a picture with regalia

My last project group mates - Brenda is missing

After months of mugging and hardwork together, we finally graduated. No words can express our happiness in seeing our fruits of labour. Part time studies aint easy, especially each and every one of us came from different backgrounds, different age groups and different jobscope, but a BIG THANK YOU to all my project mates and course mates. WE DID IT!

My sweetheart! She is a sweet little girl can! She bought the bear for me, and I bought the regalia for it. Thanks dear!

Bangkok trip day 3

2011-10-09T21:05:00.001+08:00

Waking up at 11am, we are ready to set off for another day of shopping!

Breakfast at this restaurant near our hotel

It is actually a restaurant that's hidden away, it looks like a fishmonger stall then a restaurant from the street.

The Thai noodle

Pineapple juice

Pineapple Fried rice

We went to the famous night market again

Kim is buying something

And there she is, with her sweet mango she has been craving for

The super nice coffee with Kim

Ok, the two of us look auntish here!

The cup melts my heart, apart from the delicious ice coffee it contains, but the wordings that state 'friends'! How sweet!

Oh, what are we buying again?

Coconut ice cream ~ according to Kim, it is a must try!

Posing with the ice cream

Going back to hotel with our bags filled with shopping loots

See who greeted me on my bed?

Kim's piglet

This bread shop is really unique

But we dint get to try

We went for a oil massage again at the same place as day one

Headed down to Chinatown

Shark's fin

Bird nest

I love the longan

Bought out dried food, and we decided to head back to hotel before heading out for dinner at 12midnight

This lane of pubs which is very near our hotel, sets us in a very curious mode after passing by everyday. We gave it a shot to walk through it, and its an eye opener for us

There is nowhere for a good n cheap dinner, So we decided to head back to the restaurant we ate at in the morning. Even though it's already midnight, but we ordered quite abit for ladies

The Tom yum soup which I love it so much

And this fish, AWSOME! Kim and I were saying that, we will miss the fish here in Bangkok, coz it just melts in our mouth. Together with the rice they have, it's perfect! Usually as ladies, our appetite for carbo like rice are very limited, but here in the restaurant, we ate two bowls of rice! Simply too great to resist!

A photo of our shopping loots

Oh yes, we got this from Chinatown

Bought three necklaces, for the three of us...

Ting, the necklace is for smooth sailing for u.

This trip is a shopping trip. Everything was great. But something/ someone is missing. If only everything was fine, then she could have come along too.

Ladies, maybe we should plan for our next trip soon! This time, Eileen, Kim & Ting to go together.

I hope that the prayers Kim and I made at Bangkok will be heard, especially the one on the missing Singaporean. Please bring him back to Singapore safely.

Second day of braces

2011-09-30T01:13:00.001+08:00

Being an active lady who can't sit still at home despite the awful pain in my mouth due to braces, I am literally running everywhere today on my off day.

Had lunch with at Rivervale plaza with Jon, then I headed to Marina Square.

I am so thrilled that I managed to get my formal wears for the upcoming convocation on 10 oct, with much discounts! G2000 is offering 50% off second piece purchased, and if you are a citibank card holder, you will get to enjoy another 15% off the total bill. How wonderful! I think the promotion will end in early October.

Meet up with Jerry there, and we went to MBS, marina bay sands. As a Singaporean, how can you miss this place?

The path that leads to the floating Louis Vuitton

The outside.. Went inside, and it's seriously big!

We settled down at for tea break at TWG...

The view I get from my seat...

I love this potty! It has a gold surface, and I can see my own reflection in it! It works like a mirror....

My snow mountain tea, that's so wonderfully nice in taste.

The service staffs are super nice! As I am on braces, they reassured that this chocolate fondant will be soft to my liking, and indeed, the chocolate melts in my mouth without much effort, and the ice cream is made of superior quality..

Jerry with his dessert... He claimed that the pie below is very delicious. I won't say much of it, as I dint taste it at all...

The bar area

Don't you think the cakes look yummylicious?

I think I'm rather crazy, to have buffet on the first night of braces, and dessert on the second day of braces.... Sound madness, but goodness doesn't come that often.

I am not someone who will indulge in fine food on a frequent basis, but when I have the chance to, it is too hard an opportunity to miss out!

Rushed home from MBS via cab to have my porridge cooked by mummy for dinner, then bathed and rushed to Nex for movie with Jon.

"Friends with benefits", how many times have we take our friends like google, only to perform a search on them when we need answers? It has really been awhile, three years, since I had a good peaceful sleep, and that I can really trust someone. When can I be true towards myself again? It's a question, that I cant even get my own answer to.

Input of my braces - 28 September

2011-09-30T00:31:00.001+08:00

Mummy accompanied me to the Khoo peck huat hospital for my braces input... Excited, yet anxious!

One last picture of my braces free teeth with mummy...

My appointment was at 11am, but we reached at 10.45am. It paid off to be early then late, coz the one before me was late, so I was given the slot first and he/ she was attended to, after me!

Bought new brushes and interdental brush too!

Say hello to the world with my metal teeth... Oh yes, I will nt be having the luxury of colorful braces, like green brackets for Christmas, red for Chinese new year etc.

Mine is the dull metal only as I opt for the auto lock braces. This is one minus point as it was supposed to be an 'in' thing for colorful braces, but well, I am no longer a teenager.

Cervical cancer vaccine

2011-09-25T22:14:00.001+08:00

After having a couple of girl friends who msn me or whatsapp me regarding the cervical cancer vaccine I mentioned on my previous post, I thought I should type my experience here.

In case you do not know, cervical cancer is one of the top 10 cancers affecting women in Singapore. There is a possibility of reducing the chance of getting, or preventing it, through vaccine and regular pap smear annually.

Ideally to be taken ranging from age 9 to 26 years old, preferably to be before having first sexual exposure for the vaccines to be effective. Fret not if you are already sexually exposed, so long as you are before 25 years old, you can still go for the vaccines.

I strongly urged ladies to go for it. Why? From my experience, the total cost is $450. Medisave can be utilized for this vaccination, of up to $300. I only paid $150 in cash, inclusive of the consultation and three vaccines. Like WOW!

Three?! Yes! I took my first one on 21st September, and my second a month later, the third one will be six months from the first vaccine.

If you still have doubts or FAQ on it, refer to http://www.hpb.gov.sg/healthscreening/article.aspx?id=8768

Pregnant ladies, or ladies who are considering on family planning are not advised to go for the vaccines.

Do check out with your doctor today, with regard to these vaccines and clarifications. Don't forget to do a pre-order if required, as the vaccines are not always readily available. This is a highly preventable cancer that we should not neglect.

Gentlemen, encourage your lovely girlfriend or wife to have it, or at least to speak to a doctor about it. Prevention is better then cure!

2011-09-21T22:51:00.001+08:00

Had my second appointment at Khoo Peck Huat hospital today... Met doctor Tang to put in the separator, and my surgeon who will be doing the jaw adjusting surgery for me six months later.

Before I officially be a braces girl, I did some cam whoring on my existing teeth condition. It's a self cam whoring post, with unglam pictures and posts that never appeared in my photo albums before.

Side view: you can see my upper jaw is more protruding then the lower jaw

Abit of bunny teeth

Bleah!

The reason I seldom smile in photos! My horrible teeth! This is the first photo of my ugly smile at side view.

Front view looks slightly better in photo

Half grin

Went to Cathay for movie with my family, Johnny English. Awesome show, laughing throughout! Worth the ticket price, really!

Dinner at park mall, at the Mongolian buffet. Ambience was not good as it was very noisy and irritating, but interior design was splendid! Food? Not recommended as the seafood are not fresh.

I love their nice costumes

The mongolian BBQ meat

How many of you have ex boyfriends who turned from your lover to a good friend? I have. Everything has past, good and bad memories were shared. But I m glad, I have a good friend, who understands me and I can seek advice from when I need his expertise.

His name is Alvin. Readers who have read the earlier posts of my blog, or my previous blogs will have read about him. We met up almost a year ago. Time really flies, and when I meet him again, we ate the same food again.

I wish I can cut his hair with a bowl! So long! Wenya, do something about it!

Good service

2011-08-10T14:09:00.001+08:00

Being a person who is very particular about service attitudes, I m very impressed by Fujitsu. I bought my laptop with a three year warranty about two years back. It has been serving me faithfully and seeing me through my days with Murdoch without a single crash.

Lately, due to age, it started to develop slight issues, especially on the keyboard. So I brought it to Funan IT mall to have it repaired. I told the service personnel that the keyboard and the trackpad were facing issues, and was told to leave my laptop with them for the engineer to do a check and replacement, which I did.

I received an SMS the following day, to inform me that they need to order hard disk for my laptop, therefore I could only collect it back two weeks later. I was puzzled, as my intention of bringing there was to solve the keyboard issue. I made a call back to them, and was told that my keyboard issue was resolved without any changing, however, they have tested my hard disk, it was damaged, therefore they will be getting it changed for me. They even notify me that there could be possibility of information lost, and asked if I had back up my documents.

Like wow! Without me asking, they did the checks and even notify me on the waiting time. Next up, I received constant calls to keep me updated on the status of my laptop.

When it was ready for collection, the engineer called me personally to notify on the parts that they have tested and they even helped me to reformat it. Amazingly sweet!

Just collected it today from funan, I was impressed, once again. The service personnel explained to me again what they have done, and allowed me to test. They even provided me with a job done receipt without me asking. On top of those, she asked if I need a carrier to bring my laptop home. Aren't they sweet to even consider that their customers may not have a carrier or could have forgotten to bring their laptop case at collection?

In overall, it was a very good service experience I have encountered thus far with Fujitsu. Kudos!

I bought the last unit there... Thank you to Harvey Norman (Hougang Mall), for their prompt and unique service provided.

New addition to my apple gadgets... This will be my last gadget for this year, as I was thinking of getting a netbook since last year. Finally, it came!

Cant wait for my friend Jerry to be back to SG again, as he is damn kind, in helping me to get the ipad cover. Meanwhile, I shall continue to use the smart cover, and my brother's acer cover.

Time to save up now! No more buying till end of this year... Except during bangkok and my long trips.

Suddenly, I miss the days I was at Punggol, sometime last year during this period... Like Boss May said, must treasure the times we spent together, as we working together is a blessing.

My branch people are sweet can! They got a swensen card, and redeemed for ice cream for us! Mango Flavour

Went for Buffet dinner at Central with SMa Classmates last night, and we went to Cafe Iguna for some drinks, Margarita... Pink Guava, Photo taken by Deborah

Wonderful time spent

2011-06-01T23:57:00.002+08:00

Had a busy day, even though I am not working!

Went to brazilian enterprise for brazilian wax, signing up for IPL sessions. I cant wait for permanent hair removal! Wee wee!

Meet up nutritionist on review on my body fat management in town. Then bought lunch for Mummy, and brought to SGH for her.

Rushed home, and packed some items for her overnight stay in hospital, including her Ipad! She even asked the nurse, is ipad allowed in hospital... Cute mummy :)

Went to NEX to meet my friend for coffee.... I think I spend a huge bomb today! $2800 for IPL package.

Next thing I want to do it, my braces!

Australia or Taiwan?

2011-05-31T21:09:00.004+08:00

I just received my letter from Murdoch today... But, my anticipation to go to Australia died down. The group has decided to have our convocation in Singapore, and our group to go Australia is getting smaller, making me feels its pointless for us to go now.

I have the intention to go on package tour to either Australia or Taiwan. Who wants to go with me? Since the group is no longer going, I will need kaki to go with me now... Expected to go date is around September or October.

Which one should I choose? Australia or Taiwan?

I am so bored... Off tomorrow and Thursday. What shall I do? Boredom...

Makan with Billy @ Bedok 85

2011-05-30T20:59:00.010+08:00

During my Saturday, or rather off days, I dislike staying at home to waste my time away. Life is short! So make it useful!

Met up with Billy for Kungfu panda 2, foot massage, dinner at Bedok 85 food market. Nice food + great friend = Great day spent!

The nice sugarcane, not to be missed!

Sambal stingray! Spicy stuff, I literally went red over it!

Billy has a thing for chicken! He is an enemy of chickens... So the satays he ordered are all chickens... Poor things... (I mean the chickens)

Peanut sauce that goes well with the satay

Chicken wings! But personally i prefer honey wings...

The famous Bar Chok Mee

Remembering the Past

2011-05-29T21:16:00.005+08:00

Today, is the date that 4 Endurance ladies meet up for some chats. However, due to my work scheldue, I cant attend.

I am missing dance. Cant wait for June 10, exotice 5...

My colleague Pei Shan, whom I danced with last year, will be a new student with Groove! Welcome my dear girl! I just saw some photos we took on that service night... Hard work.

Interesting Thing In Malaysia Toilet

2011-05-26T21:57:00.000+08:00

Can I find it back again?

2011-05-26T21:24:00.004+08:00

Went for a movie with Jerry ytd and we went for cycling at ECP today. Welcome back, my friend. When i see tears in his eyes, i know he is remoseful of what he has done that hurt the girl he loved dearly. He will be visiting her at her house this sat, I hope she will forgive him, as Jerry really repent.

Maybe I m trying to numb the feeling so that I wont get hurt? I feel i have lost the feeling to love, to trust, to have faith...

I dont known how to answer. Because I dont have an answer to those questions myself too. So next time, my answer will be, I dont know.

I want to meet special someone, but I dont know who is the someone. I was dumb stucked, when a friend ask me, who exactly meets my criteria? Or rather, what is the criteria that I see? What do I see for the special one? I wish I have the answer...

If only life is about rebooting... restarting... It will be simplier. It has been sooo long le, I am tired of looking for something that is lost inside me.

No more studies to numb me or to keep myself occupied... Anyone wants to go out can nudge me... I m usually off on weekdays! Heez...

Moving on in pace

2011-05-22T22:47:00.002+08:00

I am finally a Graduate! Passed my MRA paper! Super happy... The SMa peeps met up one of the days on 13th May, to have a durian feast at Bedok 85. We are planning our Australia trip...

Sister will be having her graduation tml from her polytechnic.

New branch, new colleagues, new environment... I can say, I am adapting to it, and thinking positively... I hope things will continue smooth and fast, till september.

And yes, some people may say, Eileen, you have left Punggol, so u r no longer in the trend of being single. So when are u going to be attached again?

May I say, i am ready for a relationship anytime, if it takes two hands to clap? Currently I do not have any shortlist, or rather, I have no choice in choosing. So, if fate or destiny allows, do give me the faith and trust to face it when he appears.

Return to Groove

2011-04-25T23:33:00.002+08:00

The Good Friday long weekend had been good for you? It was very special for me. Since my studies has come to the end for now, I have decided to go back to Groove Dance School to continue my dance classes, if my work scheldue permits.

Groove is a very special school to me. Why? Singapore has many dance schools, and I have joined another popular dance school prior to Groove. But, today, I chose to return to Groove for my dance classes, because I trust my instinct and experience that Groove has potential instructors, and I love the way Renee handles everything. The dances makes me feel like a woman, with confidence. When I saw the instructors dancing, they inspire me to do better.

The weekends, I took up Flirt Dance on friday, attended Groovy Night at TAB Orchard hotel on Saturday, and Art of Tease on Sunday.

Brand New Me

2011-04-24T21:29:00.002+08:00

After 2 years and 8 months, I am finally leaving Punggol, and going to a new place (which I dont know yet). These days have been memorable, going through many ups and downs, completion of my degree... I only wish my MRA paper is a pass, then Eileen is finally a graduate.

The busy life I had in the past two years and 8 months, had taken a toll on my health. I spent $120 today, on the products below.

I am starting on Kinohimitsu D'Tox juice now. Drank my first bottle at 7pm, and i am having runs at 9 plus. Hopefully it continues to be effective and works for me in the next 6 days.

Some may say, why spend such money? Eat fruits, drink more water, will give similar effects. Yes. I had been eating alot of fruits and water after my last paper, but the internal movement does not seem to have effect.

Collagen will be taken after my d'tox program. Woman, we need to take care of our skin. I realise, the stressful life I had, had taken a toll on my skin, more visible neck lines, pimples and acne scars, dark circles, saggy cheeks without glow, oily and enlarged pores. I need to regain or probably to maintain this.

I want to have the sexy body like the Groove dancers. Their toned and sexy bods, are my inspiration to improve myself.

Complication

2010-12-12T19:30:00.002+08:00

Sometimes I dun understand things... or rather, Men! I hate to be accused... It makes me shatters, and I no longer believe in pple who dun believe in me, and my character.

I am unhappy today. The feeling sucks!

Changes

2010-12-07T00:04:00.002+08:00

Life is full of changes, it is inevitable!

After 1.5 years, my boss left us, and went to another branch. We will miss her dearly. My first experience with a lady boss, and the longest I had ever worked with..

Like a sister, and also a leader, she has guided us, and we learnt together for the past 1.5 years. Being her first branch as a manager, she is a great role model.

She left on 3rd Dec, and all of us are crying. Initially I was having my lunch, and we are just having casual talks, and suddenly she turned her back at me, telling me she felt "bu she de" to leave. I left her in the room, and went to tell Maria. In the end, Derek, Maria, Belinda, Mitchell and myself, are stuck in tears...

I wasnt in tears, until May told me, " We must support Maria, cannot let her get bullied". I will try my best. When she walked out of the branch, I dint see. But i know, her heart is pierced, because we have been like a family, going out and laughters at work every day for the last 6 months, it carries wonderful memories.

We went to Universal Studios, JB makan trip with foot reflexology, 2 ktv sessions, endless of Dragonfly drinking sessions, Branch dinners...

A boss, who dont put herself before others. When she goes for appointments, she will call us, and check with us if we want special foods from elsewhere for lunch. When I faced problems in communicating with my colleagues, she will access the issue, and try her best to educate and solve it. Without her, I probably could have left the company, and moved on.

Now, I should embrace the changes, and support the service team. :)

Aunty me

2010-11-03T01:39:00.002+08:00

I realised I dun suit retro stuffs at all... Just back from the annual CFS d&d... It was fun, but i am not as happy. Ate very little, and was drinking the beer, which for the past 3 years, i do not touch beer in co. events.

From my phone

Taken with my ex-CSM, Angeline with her camera...

I am emo-ing now. I duno what I can do. I am confused. I wish I can run away..

My new baby - LX5

2010-10-12T21:46:00.004+08:00

After waiting for months, doing much research and reading up on forums, I was deciding between canon or panasonic. Just when I was about to make up my mind to get LX3, LX 5 was due to launch in Singapore...

And so, I waited for good 3 months, counting down, before it landed in Singapore. With much anticipation, I went into stores to check out for availability. Was quoted $799 for this LX5. And it seemed to be sold out everywhere.

I managed to get this baby, at Sim Lim Square, with the help of a nice friend, who knows the supplier and connection to get the stocks from. And i got it at a whopping price of $675, inclusive of the camera case and the usual memory card.

The free case. I think it comes with all purchases. (I think it looks more like a "bomb" in real, fat and bulky)

I customised it, by beading the lens cover to the camera's body, as I am known for my carelessness, which I think the likelihood of misplacing the lens cover is relatively high.

Mummy helped me with it. It looks more pretty and girly now, even though its still black. Maybe I will send it for gmasking when I am free to protect the exterior body.

The above pictures are taken with my iphone... I cant wait to try taking photos with my new gadget!

Oh yes, my colleague was telling me, "Eileen, I heard you saying you are aiming for your LV and coach bag. But after one whole year, I dint see any, except for new phones, and now new camera." Well, its my weakness for gadgets, even though they change regularly.

10 Oct 2010

2010-10-10T23:22:00.002+08:00

Today is a very unique day, due to the date number, "shi quan shi mei".

I am thankful to my bosses and fun colleagues that I am currently enjoying now. Our bonding session, from KTVs, bbq chalets, clubbing sessions, to the next upcoming JB seafood makan...

Sometimes, I am contented, and feeling blissful for what I have now. I may not have an individual love frm a guy, but I have love and care from my family, friends, and colleagues, which are blessings which I cant ask for more.

Supposed to get my camera today, but the stocks seem to delay. So well, I got to hold on to my budget for it now. Hopefully I can get it before the JB makan trip.

Move on

2010-09-24T23:41:00.002+08:00

I am moving on. Enough is enough

A hurtful truth is preferred than a comforting lie

My thoughts

2010-09-22T20:57:00.002+08:00

Taking one module, doesnt mean Eileen is a very free person. I have decided to take a slower pace in my life, and understand the importance of time.

I do not wish to be taken for granted, that I can do your part for you, if you are going to get the same results are me. If i do, I must be crazy!

I cant imagine if Dave is going to get promoted, he is going to fly more! Argh! I want more of his time to myself, but both of us, or rather his time, is so packed. :( Pouts! We are meeting like just twice per month.

I know there are many bad experiences in life. You taught me to let go and move on, to ignore my past, but i feel, your past is still binding us. I want to understand you, but u seemed too hidden for me to understand u. I dont want this to be another dream, i hope you are a real person, in my real world.

Chalet

2010-09-22T20:39:00.004+08:00

On Sunday, we have our annual chalet, in conjunction with Derek's mother's birthday.

Playing game before the rest come....

Food preparation in progress....

The ladies

Trying to look muscular?

CSM & me!

They start playing game and drinking...

We went to Zirca after the chalet.

2010-09-22T20:17:00.001+08:00

Its the 15th of the 8th month on the Lunar Calendar! Although it rained heavily in the afternoon, the moon still shine brightly outside my house.

Busy

2010-09-20T22:04:00.004+08:00

I have been so busy. Ytd was Punggol Branch's chalet, in conjunction to celebrate Derek's Mother's birthday. We had BBQ session, and after everyone left, Derek, mitchell and myself made our way to Zirca to club.

I was not feeling well, and literally slp on the sofa due to the effects of alcohol and cramps. Tequila + Chivas + Vodka = Gone case Eileen. After the effects wear off, we danced our night away.

We went back to chalet to slp at 5am and woke at 9 plus. Met Dave at 12noon for lunch, as he is going to London this weekend, and going to Beijing, Canada and Italy after coming back. Pouts!

Dave is sweet today. He asked me if there is anything I want from London. Oh well, I dont need anything, but simple question like me, makes me a very happy girl! Duno why. He scolded me when he knew I went to work despite having mc. But I am very glad, to have him to insist that I should visit the doctor for Scope checkup. At least, he cares.

Met my dearest Ms Yvonne Liu. After 3 years, the lady is back from the States! From an intern from my previous company, she is so much more mature now. We had fun chatting and catching up. Really missed those lunch times that we had in the past together.

Shall get Ping, Clara, Rose, Don and all to get together, for clubbing or pubbing with Ms Liu!

SMa September Babies Bdae Celebration

2010-09-20T21:56:00.003+08:00

Due to my packed scheldues and laziness, I have not updated my blog for a long time. on the 10th September, SMa peeps met up at Vivocity to celebrate the September Babies' birthday.

We went Powerhouse after it, but as I just went Dragonfly the previous day with my colleagues, I am not in the mood to stay up too late or to drink too much, therefore I make my move after 1 cup of vodka.

Random

2010-08-27T22:48:00.003+08:00

"I trust you coz I have faith in u... Therefore, make me feel its never a regret knowing you in my life" my own quote since year 2004.

Sometimes, gaining trust and respect from others, are not easy. But, to trust others, is an even harder task. I am one good example, I cant trust anyone, not even myself. Sad? No, i feel since i started working, this rule applies, as people can stab you, lovers can cheat on you.

I wish, life and love can be simplier. But, things are hardly going the way I want it. So, its a CHALLENGE! Its where you want to face your challenge in front of it, challenge it, or run. Sometimes, I will run. But sometimes, i want to see how much I can tolerate, for how long.

Things have been going up and down for me, uncertainties... Happiness at work, but my personal life hasnt been stable. How how how?

Confused

2010-08-18T21:53:00.002+08:00

Too many things happened lately, and I hope Mr. D n i can communicate more. I am very confused on things now... Haiz.

Cross fingers. Is it wrong to seek the truth?

Malacca Trip

2010-08-15T20:46:00.015+08:00

After much mugging together for our exams, preparations for the projects and assignments, the peeps from SMa decided to give ourselves a well deserved holiday to Melaka, 7 aug to 9 aug 2010.

Warning: This is an image heavy post!

15 of us, 3 kids, 12 adults (4 guys, 8 ladies)

Lynn, Deborah and myself join them at the night of 7th August. All photos are credited to Chee Kui.

When we reached there, went for some drinks then to have some duck wings that is super yummy, before heading back to the apartment at 4am.

At 8am, we woke up for breakfast...

After heading back to the apartment and washed up, we thought of going for massage. But, before any plans, we have a surprise!

Tata.... Vincent and his family bringing the cake over to Derek's apartment

Happy Birthday to Derek, and little Madeline.

The family...

The kids were too tired, so the parents brought them back to sleep. And so, Deborah, myself and Lynn were locked out for that night. Thanks to Jay and CK for their rooms

Before drinking session, we decided not to go massage. So, the men went out to da bao the duck wings back to go with the drinks.

Day 3, National Day. We woke up at 8am, while some of us headed their way back to Singapore. Packed up, and we went for brunch....

Notice the table? Its made of the traditional simple wood as table top.

After a long drive back to Singapore, we rewarded ourselves with dinner at House of Seafood at Serangoon...

This wonderful trip, will not be the same, without the people who went!

Hit on the notes

2010-08-03T00:01:00.002+08:00

Exams are coming, in just 2 days! Damn I am so stressed up. Even though I am on leave, i stayed home, and read through. Progress very slowly.

Talk to Mr D over msn today. Was emo and unhappy, as I asked him, we doesnt seemed to have much topics between us. Probably he is too busy to bother abt me? And he is going beijing end of august. Like, again? Spoke to him abt my past, and he said that I am too innocent and too easy to get bullied by people.

Probably in comparison to him, he is a successful career person that I look up to. So.. I am too simple for the work politics, relationship complications. But, he is damn thick skinned to say he is so nice to me luh. Ya he is la..

Pray hard, the papers will be easy. Please....

Simple Life

2010-07-23T23:16:00.002+08:00

I only ask for a very simple life, to spend w my love ones, work and family committments happily.

Exams are around the corner... I need to study them soon. Once again, my block leave is here again, and after this exam, will be heading to Malacca w my coursemates fr a little retreat.

Hopefully after the leave, I will brave the changes in my work, and do my best!
