Itz all about the money

I finally went to apply for a credit card after 3 months of working =) Applied for the UOB Lady's Card! UOB really offers the best credit cards around! What's more, as a UOB staff, the annual credit card fee of $60 for the Lady's Card is waived! For normal card holders, usually only the 1st year fee is waived. Hehe! So happie! The Lady's card really offers a lot of yummilicious privileges women can ask for. Itz cool. One of my personal favourites is that i can go for a strawberry spa mani and pedi at 20% discount. Plus other normal/french mani and pedi at special discounted rates at places like Fave Nails and Nails Couture. I also get twice monthly free accesses to Amore's (though im alry a member) and California Fitness' gyms plus free fitness classes! In addition, the Lady's Card offers priority entry and discounts on your total bill at certain clubs! How cool is that! Such a wonderful card for a super vain clubbing girl like me.

Think i might apply for the UOB MTV card too in the near future bcoz I stand to gain more clubbing privileges at much more clubs (e.g. priority entry, free covers, discounts on drinks, free entry for guests etc) and prioity bookings at concerts. I sound very sua ku right? I only find out about such stuff after so long altho i've been working at UOB. Well, cant blame me, coz im in the Commercial Credit sector mah. I shud educate myself more man. So lose-face, work in UOB yet dunno much about the Personal Financial Services' stuff. Freak...sua ku ass...=/

I love being a UOB staff coz of their wonderful staff banking perks! As a UOB staff, i get to earn 0.5% more interest rate on my UOB savings account than the normal rate. Gosh, i better try my best not to leave the bank...unless of coz i can find smthg way better elsewhere. Anyway i really enjoy my job, so not much issue here...unless i get fired or smthg..haha!

(Hmm...this entry sounds like an advertisement/testimonial for UOB Credit Cards. Shucks...)

Anyway i plan to work really hard to get rich faster. Den i can have more money to buy lotz n lotz of pretty clothes, bags, shoes, make-up etc (yeah materialistic ger). I also wanna have money to go travelling, support my parents n bro, get married (a lavish wedding!), support my hubby, buy a house n a car, n have lovely kids. Yay! Dream come true!

Bed and Bubbles

The past two weeks was a sad period for me. I was super busy at work and everyday was a stressful and hectic day. But wat made me realli sad was that we are going to have a customer event (cant reveal exactly wat it is for fear of competitors!) that will be from 7pm till 11pm which i will be organizing...and it falls on my birthday. I was realli upset coz i couldnt celebrate my birthday and Baby alry made plans for me. Wonderful and very special plans. Can u imagine me working my ass off for this dumb event that falls on my bday? N on my bday i have to work from the usual 9am - 630pm and den continue working at my customer event for 500 pax till late? I prolly end up with only one hour of my bday left to celebrate. And for once, i thot with my Baby's plans, my bday will finally be a very special and genuinely happie princess-y one.

But things took a twist of fate and left me slightly more convinced im not such a jinxed birthday girl afterall. (I always thot that im a jinxed birthday girl coz every year without fail, something bad will happen on my bday that always leaves me in tears somehow.) The customer event is now postponed to early next year after i gave my suggestion during a team meeting that it is not advisable to hold an outdoor event during the monsoon season. I din suggest it because i wanted to celebrate my bday. Thatz childish. But the outcome and success of the event is very impt to me as it will affect not only the mood of everyone but also my performance appraisal! N im so so happie that my boss actually sat there and listened to what i had to say. I have been trying to voice it out for the past two weeks but my boss doesnt seem to wanna give any attention to me.

So now Baby can execute his bday plans for me! YAY! So guess what we are going to do? Baby already made reservation for a super sweet and romantic Bed and Bubbles Package atRitz Carlton Hotel! Check this out:

~Guest enjoy deluxe accommodations and a soothing butler drawn bath in one of the "World's Sexiest Bathrooms."~

On top of that, i juz found out yesterday that this very good guy fren of mine actually bought me the most expensive tickets to the 5566 concert in S'pore in dec! He said itz a bday gift to me. So happie!

Anyway dear frens, if u thinking of getting me gifts for my bday....i think im too old for that. Well, instead of gifts, i would appreciate ang baos and vouchers more. Haha!

Juz a suggestion. Of coz i will love anything u guys give me coz itz the thought that counts! Passe but true!

Yay Yay...I love November.

It suddenly dawned on me...

It juz hit me that i lost my "life". No more Little Miss Happening. Dun ask me wat happened. All i noe is that I have been working everyday and I have no f**king life at all. Im usually too tired after work, and my bio-clock has been adjusted to shut down latest by 1230am every night. Havent been clubbing, havent been hanging out with friends. Think my closest fren now is my dear candy. Been seeing her like at least twice a week for some salsa fun or shopping madness. *love ya cands!* Think the most "happening" thing im doing right now is dancing salsa. Fell sick and was on mc for two days this week. That means no late nights and partying, no binging on sinful, yummy food. *sobz*

Watz worse is...i became FATter. The once almost gone cellulite are back to haunt me again. Tummy has began to bulge. To my dismay, I realized it too late! Small little pimples (dunno if u can classify them as acne) suddenly pop out from nowhere! I seldom have pimples! Piling on foundation and concealer doesnt seem to help esp since i always critically scrutinise myself. N little freckles seem to be appearing on my face! Gosh! It never happened before! Seriously, im so fat and ugly now i think itz the end of the world. *yelps!*

Thatz it! Im gg to dance my fats away, and exercise to tone up those legs and tummy! Im gonna pile on pore minimiser, spot reducer creams and watever beauty products that seem promising. Plus face masks!

Oh..n juz to share, i custom-made my salsa dance shoes. They are heels with suede soles that freaking costed me almost $160. How am I gg to buy my thousand-over-dollars Gucci bag now? *faintz* No money...no money =(

Juz to cheer up my day, Baby's msn nick:
"You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes,and her eyes everywhere in the world."

Whoppie! I am his "HER". hehe...gosh i think im gg bonkers.

What am i doing tonight? Salsa.
What am i doing tomorrow? Salsa. again.
What am i doing on Sunday? I better go to church.
I need to pray about my fats, pimples, cash flow problems and my dull life.
Gotta get my pretty life back!

Lessons of Love

Im sick ond body's in a wreck today. Got so bad that Doc gave me two days mc for today and tmr. (Yay! Secretly happie coz i dun have to work!). Brain's a little lethargic so not really in the mood to think of wat to blog about. But anyway here's a little smthg that i read and found it quite meaningful. So juz to share...enjoy:

Lessons Of Love
A ninety-one year old woman died after living a long dignified life. When she met God she asked him something that had long bothered her. If Man was created in God's image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each other so badly?

God replied that each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people, relationships and God. This confused the woman, so God began to explain.

When someone lies to you, it teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours.

When someone steals from you, it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate what you have, for you never know when you might lose it. And never, ever take your friends and family for granted because today is the only guarantee you have.

When someone inflicts an injury upon you, it teaches you that the human state is a fragile one. Protect and take care of your body as best you can, it's the only thing you are sure to have forever.

When someone mocks you, it teaches you that no two people are alike. When you encounter people who are different from you, don't judge them by how they look or act; instead base your opinion on the contents of their heart.

When someone breaks your heart, it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that person will love you back. But don't turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together. Times ten.

When someone holds a grudge against you, it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is the most difficult and courageous thing Man can do.

When a loved one is unfaithful to you, it teaches you that resisting temptation is Man's greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.

When someone cheats you, it teaches you that greed is the root of all evil. Aspire to make your dreams come true, no matter how lofty they may be. Do not feel guilty about your success, but never let an obsession with achieving your goals lead you to engage in malevolent activities.

When someone ridicules you, it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.

Upon hearing the Lord's wisdom, the old woman became concerned that there were no lessons to be learned from Man's good deeds.

God replied that Man's capacity to love is the greatest gift he has. At the root of all kindness is love, and each act of love also teaches us a lesson. The woman's curiosity deepening, God once again began to explain.

When someone loves us, it teaches us that love, kindness, charity, honesty, humility, forgiveness and acceptance can counteract all the evil in the world.
For every good deed, there is one less evil deed.
Man alone has the power to control the balance between good and evil, but because the lessons of love are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused.

When you enter someone's life, whether by plan, chance or coincidence, consider what your lesson will be. Will you teach love or a harsh lesson of reality?
When you die will your life have resulted in more loving or hurting?
More comfort or pain?
More joy or sadness?
Each one of us has power over the balance of love in the world.
Use it wisely.

Don't miss an opportunity to nudge the world's scale in the right direction.

Shopping Madness at Isetan Members' Sale

Im a horribly broke girl who has spent most of her pay in juz 2 weeks! Yesterday was Isetan's one-day-only exclusive Members' Sale. Miss Candy and Miss Fiona happily went to shop during their lunch time. The shopping queen n shopping princess shopped for 2 hrs till they did not have their lunch, and went back to the office way past their lunch time. Poor Miss Candy cudnt get her pretty Nine West shoes and Polo Jeans cashmere sweater bcoz they were not available in her size. Poor Miss Fiona had a long cut on her left knee, being squashed by a fat lady behind her at a shoe section, n grazing her knee across a sharp corner of a shoe rack. Poor Miss Fiona bled in pain. But! That did not deter her from squirming her way thru the crowd to try to find anything good n pretty that she can lay her itchy hands on. The two shopping maniacs are nonetheless happie altho they did not manage to hit their satiable appetite level for a good amount of buys and bargains, in midst of having to squeeze thru the crowd and fumble thru the heaps of clothes.

Miss Candy and Miss Fiona met again for more shopping after work, plus dinner after the shops close. To meet twice in a day during lunch n dinner time, it seems like they cant get enuff of each other. But! They aint no lesbians. The two gers juz enjoy each others' company tremendously. N they juz cant get enuff of shopping.

Mr Nic came to meet the two sistas for dinner, and w a budget constaint, they ate at MOS burger. But wat a FUN time they had at MOS burger! Mr Nic and Miss Candy were so entertained by Miss Fiona's eating antics of talking excitedly with her mouth full and spewing bitz of food in the wrong directions. It was such a comfortable and interesting chit-chatting session that they engaged in for 2.5 hrs. Happiness can be derived from such gleeful simplicity.

Miss Fiona is realli happie that her dear Miss Candy could always get along so well with her bfs, yet will always be by her side and diss the ex-bf when they break-up. If there's one thing that Miss Fiona realli treasure, itz for her good frens n her bf to be with her, and that her bf can mingle comfortably with her frens and vice-versa, in a way that everyone she loves is part of one big happie group. Same goes with the Swing Girls. Miss Fiona is so happie when her dearez Swing Girls said that they treat Mr Nic as one of their silly jie-meis. Realli hope that her dearest IJ sistas can accept him in the same way as well.

To round it up, Miss Fiona bought yet another pair of shoes, yet another piece of lingerie (cant get enuff of these two items!), and a few tops for work and play. N she has alry bought a few expensive suits the last week! PLUS! She is a GLUTTON with such an expensive n fussy taste in food, and efficient digestive system that leaves her tummy rumbling every 3 hrs. She is officially broke! Someone please donate to the needy. Hahahaha!

A stream of sad sad tears

Today is a horrible, terrible, moody, nothing-ever-goes-right, why-is everything so wrong, day. Woke up feeling pleased coz I slept so so long n so so well. But shortly after, everything juz went BAD. Everyone in my family was in a bad mood. Even my gadgets screw up n fail on me. Frustrated me gets even more pek chek being yelled at. My driving sucks after such a long break from it. Clutching the steering wheel so tight with my heart banging against my chest as i brace the yelling n complaints frm my impatient dad sitting next to me. Flashes of my past accident kept haunting me until today. Read something on my bf's ex-gf's blog that hurt me so. Seems like she might not have totally gotten past her break-up with him. Insecurities creep up on me once again as memories of my past r/s reminded me that guys cant be trusted. It doesnt help much that she called him twice two days ago. Sunday is the day meant for me to relax b4 the start of a new week of work. But why do i feel more stressed out on a sunday?

Went to the hospital to visit my sick aunt albeit in a very very bad mood. Totally upset. One more thing that goes wrong can totally wreck it n make me burst into tears of frustration and despair. And it came. From someone i least expected. Someone whom i wished wud be there next to me in my midst of despair. Someone i thot wud make everything alright again. Someone i thot i cud count on to bring me the smiles and the rainbow after the rain. I thot wrong.

Mebbe i complained too much. Mebbe i was too much of a spoilt princess for anyone to handle. Mebbe my temper was juz too bad n out of control. But i was really very upset. Am i to blame? How could i control my temper when im alry driven to the edge? But now I know. You made me realize that I cant vent it out on you anymore. Not when the person i thot i cud complain to and vent my frustrations on suddenly lost his patience. For someone always so sweet, mild-tempered and patient, he suddenly lost all his patience for me. For the FIRST time. The sms he sent me was a SLAP to my face. A STAB in my heart. The trigger to my tears.

Uncontrollably as I stared at his sms, hot tears started streaming down as I hurriedly left my relatives and parents at my aunt's hospital bed. Looks of curiosity dawned upon me as I desperately tried to find a washroom where i can hide myself in. These onlookers prolly thot someone juz died since i was at the hospital. N there I was squatting pathetically on the toilet floor, locked in the cubicle for the longest time. Sobbing and sobbing, my arms were drench with warm tears as his harsh,sarcastic words kept running thru my mind and pricking my heart over and over again. At that point in time, i was so tempted to juz dunk my head into the toilet bowl next to me. Nothing could be worse than having the person u love most, the person u thot u can truly count on and turn to, to turn his back on you. I knew i was being difficult, hot-tempered and spoilt. But he didnt have to be so mean. All i wanted is for him to comfort me, the way he always do. Mebbe i pushed it too far. Mebbe i shud juz shut up and stop complaining all the time. I knew that someday and one day he will eventually lose all his patience and flare up at me. I juz din expect it to be so soon. I have reached my ultimate abyss for the day. Nothing could make me more upset than i alry was. This is the FIRST time ever that he made me feel so hurt, the first time he made me cry so hard, the first time he lost his patience at me, the first time he ignored me thereafter. N for all you know, there might be more of such instances to come.

I remembered him saying that he will try his best not to hurt me or lose his patience at me. Is it a lie den? Den again, when do guys ever keep to their words? As far as i can rem, all my ex-bfs nvr keep to their words for long. It was all said and meant "for that moment in time". Wat makes him any different?

These tears brought back such familiar feelings. My thots drifted to my present outlook and attitude towards relationships and how much it has changed from the past. I looked into my heart and i saw a very ugly scar. The deep and ugly scar that my ex left me with. The damage done was far beyond repair. Up till today, whenever i think about it, the hurt still burns inside me. Who could i blame? I was the stupid one. I allowed him to inflict such wounds upon me. I willingly allowed him to trample on me. I brought it upon myself bcoz i was stupid. There are some wounds that are too deep to heal...and some things that even time cannot mend. Unwittingly, i brought the past hurts into my present r/s with Nic. Im no longer the carefree and happie-go-lucky girl i once was. The girl who was so confident of herself. The girl who could love and trust with all her heart like she will nvr be hurt, like there is no tommorrow. I have raised my expectations and my level of caution, n lowered my level trust. Poor Nic. As hard as i try, I still bring with me such paranoia and insecurities that are the repercussions of my ugly scar.

You may ask...with all these doubts...do i still wanna marry him den?...My answer is yes. why? I dunno.

Thumpering again

Went thumpering at Thumper yesterday! Itz my Fave club! Been a long time, almost 3 mths, since i last went. After my Swing Girls ditched our plans to go out, luckily my dear Mr. Lim Chuan Seng asked me to go with him n his frens. If not, i will be so bored on a friday night! As a working adult, fridays n weekends are so so precious to unwind and have fun!

Thumper is a cool place to chill and club ur night away. I strongly reccommend it. They play mostly realli nice RnB music, plus a bit of pop n contemporary hits n a little bit of retro. Plus they have a realli good live band that comes on every other half an hour. Itz also the place to see and be seen. Mostly yuppies, working class ppl and some expats/foreigners. Pretty exclusive place. No ah bengs and ah lians and 18 yr-old kids! Age Limit is 23 for ladies and 28 for guys. But seriously, as long as u dress well, u will get in. They dun check IDs. But unless of coz if there is a long queue n the club is super packed, they might be a bit more selective on who gets in. So my advice is if u wanna get to Thumper, go early! It is usually packed by 10pm on fridays. I lurve Thumper! Im a Thumpering Thumperian at Thumper! Wahahahah!

FYI: Thumper is located at Goodwood Park Hotel.

My bf is a Fire Fighter

My Baby has been on reservist since Monday 19th Sept. This week has been the most boring week for me. A melancholic week of Blues. Cant wait till Monday 26th Sept when he comes back from his dumb stay-in camp. Why must men stay-in when they go for reservist? Why some no need? Why does my Baby need to? NOT fair. =( *sulks*

But im so proud of my Baby coz he is in Civil Defence! Means he not only does fire-fighting, but he also saves people's lives! He was part of the rescue squad during the Nicoll Highway incident last year. Can u imagine? My Baby is a HERO. Wahahha! He had to try to save n extricate ppl, no matter dead or alive. He even had to carry dead bodies out of the wreckage. How scary!! He risked his life saving ppl when the soil underneath is still unstable n may cause further aggravation. My Baby is so brave! There he is, all part of the exciting action and dangerous rescue work that took place at Nicoll HIghway.

And like all firemen, Baby actually has to SLIDE down the POLE when the fire alarm rings n jump on the fire-engine to go save ppl. Oh n he is the driver of the fire-engine! How cool is that! I can imagine my Baby sliding down that POLE...wah! So sexy. I think firemen r so so HOT! N I think it's such a turn-on if i actually do see him slide down that pole...hiakz!

Imagine, in times of war, those NSmen will be fighting at the frontline, shooting n killing people, throwing grenades n bombing each other senseless. But there my Baby is, at the backline rescuing people, saving victims and putting out fire. Woah...thatz what i call a true hero. A hero isnt one who kills his enemies but one who saves lives. I've got a hero as a bf! Yay!

But if there is realli war one day, I'll be the first to grab my Baby and RUN. Yeah screw all those patroticism n heroic bullshit. All i want is to spend a simple n fulfilling life w Baby. So all these reservist training is useless for my Baby, I cant wait till he comes home to me.

Rich Girl, Poor Girl

Shopping in S'pore is indeed expensive. In S'pore, i dun realli like to go for sales and cheap stuff. Coz stuff on sale are usually either leftovers that people dun wanna buy, clothes that are out-of-season, with defects, or in odd sizes. Whatever it is, im always suspicious of sales in S'pore. Unless it's something that is on sale but yet not dirt cheap. Or during the Great Singapore Sale. Den more likely it's worth the buy.

Somehow whenever i stumble across smthg that i like, i always pray hard that it will be cheap or at least meet my estimated expectation. But somehow, it almost never work out that way. Things that i like happen to turn out to be expensive. I dun think itz coz i have expensive taste...but more becoz..i have such a soft spot for very pretty stuff! Embroidery, lace, ruffles, flowers, butterflies, sequins....which all works out to be expensive. Plus all those pretty shoes that come in so many different designs that always put me in dilemmas! =( *sobz* I feel like such a poor girl.

BUT! When im in Bangkok and esp Hongkong ( I can hear Jialing and Elizabeth sigh and say "Here she goes again. Ask Nicholas to buy her a piece of land there"), I feel like a Shopping Princess! So many pretty yet CHEAP stuff! I'll juz take and buy, and buy and buy. Dun need to think so long. I guess over there they do not thrive on high margins but instead whip in on the volume. I feel so so rich!

Anyway, i finally got my hair cut. Well...trimmed. Went to Supercuts to try try since i heard itz not bad. Had to do so coz my dear Kimage stylist is relocated to Jurong (freaking far), and Kimage at PS is now Kimage Prestige..and poor me...cant afford it anymore. N neither do i trust the ppl frm other outlets esp the one at funan. Well, the hair cut at Supercuts turned out pretty good i must say. Shampoo girl is super helpful and kept trying to give me lotsa hair tips. Stylist was professional and good. All except the dumb cashier/receptionist who spoke poor english (ah lian pattern one), n dun seem to understand half the words im saying. Have to keep repeating myself. So irritating! N u all noe how bad my mandarin is. And they charge $36...more ex than Kimage! But overall still quite good lah. =) *relatively satisfied customer*

Going for my 2nd Salsa class tmr! I love salsa! Itz so so fun! Finally get to learn it since my ex-bf used to forbid me from learning. After Level 1, im going o to Level 2 den to Advance! And up next, im gonna take up Exotic dance and Rumba. I love dancing!

Realize that itz been a long time since i posted pictures. So here are some taken recently!

Herez Baby n me before going for dinner and meeting my dear Swing gers plus Candy and Yimei to club at Momo.

Mr Nic trying to be funny in the car.

Three silly girls!

Obsessed lesbo-s. We love each other to bitz!
