Valentine's with my BF, BFF, & BFF's BF

Spent a nice Valentine's day with my BF (Nic), BFF (Candy) and BFF's BF (Desmond).
In case you dunno what are all the BFs about (so duh!),
BF = BoyFren, BFF= Best Fren Forever.

Went to KTV in the afternoon.
Candy finally sang to someone else besides Desmond!
Congrats that you managed to take the first step out of your shyness!
N im honoured to be the first you sing to besides Desmond! =)

Had a super fun time singing and BFF was complaining that 4 hours for KTV was too short.

BF and me




BFF and BFF's BF


BFF and me.
By the way, BFF had hair extensions! Looks like part of her real hair!


Went to have Chongqing mala steamboat after KTV.
Best steamboat I have eaten in SG so far. Much better than Coca.
The chicken stock is so tasty and the mala is so shiok!
I LOVE it!
I wanna go back and eat it again soon!
No pics though...too busy eating. =)

The weekend of birthdays

This weekend has seen 2 significant birthdays in my extended family.
Friday, 13 Feb was my cousin WY's 21st birthday.
Celebration was at a chalet at east coast.
Went there with my family after work.

It seems like ages ago when I turned 21.
Attending other's 21st makes me feel really really old!

Im like Daisy in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Im damn scared of becoming old...as the clock ticks and the years zoom by.

My family and the 21 year old birthday girl.


My cousins! What a reunion. That's just about half of my cousins in the picture.
Im the oldest in the pic! -_-'


Why do guys like to wear black t-shirts and blue jeans? Uniform?



My relatives...uncles and aunties, plus mum and dad.
That's just a few of my relatives.

I've seen her other photos. Maybe side view a bit.
I havent met anyone who looks like me! haha.


A very old pic of my cousins when they were young kids.

It strucked me that they still look the same as when they were young!

Update on the car accident

Sad, it has not been resolved yet.
Still waiting to see what happens next at the insurance side.
Whether heng heng we can renew the insurance for the year,
before claiming insurance for the accident,
so as to still enjoy the no-claim bonus for one more year.

Also waiting to see if the other parties in the accident are claimiing against us
and how much we are liable for.
So shitty.
One small accident = so much trouble.
I never expected that it cud be such a hassle.

The workshop called and advised that to replace the front bumper,
grill and license plate will cost a whopping $3,000 plus.
I guess coz it's a Volvo.
Sian. How to cough up so much money.
So sayang, $3K just gone lidat.

Worse still...
NO LUCK WITH 4D or TOTO!
SHIT.
Din win anything at all, shit also dun have.
Realised that gambling is not the way to go.
It is never the way to go.
Gambling is always not in my favour anyway.
People say beginners always have beginner's luck.
How come i no luck at all?
No luck at my first time in a casino onboard the cruise.
No luck in my first time buying 4D and Toto.

Read in the yesterday's Sunday Times newspapers on a featured article on "Putting the brakes on pile-ups"
that pile-ups, or what is also known as multiple car collisions,
often happen because of one of the following few reasons:
speeding, failing to keep a safe distance, not paying attention to road conditions, poor vision, illness and fatigue.

Im particularly worried about speeding, failing to keep a safe distance and fatigue
coz these are the factors that Baby usually commit/have.
Makes me very worried everytime he is driving on his own now. =(

Apparently there is this cab driver who was paralysed waist down
due to a 6-car collision on CTE 3 years back.
The 3 other drivers in the accident are now liable of a $800,000 compensation to him.

In another pile-up accident, a lady had to claim insurance amounting up to $11,000,
and her premium immediately went up from $600 to $1,600 annually.
She also had to pay $6K to the car she hit.
I quote her "Getting into a pile-up is a really troublesome and expensive affair."
So true.

I was unaware that insurance claims can be long drawn,
taking up to 2-3 years to resolve for a collision involving 5 or more cars.
Hope our minor accident wun take more than a month to resolve.
It doesnt feel good to live in wait and anticipation.

Now im trying to save up more by eating cheap.
Try not to engage in too much frivolous spending.

Im gg to give up my Kate Spade bag, and my Chanel diamond earrings.
Baby's bro is gg to US on a business trip in March.
He asked if I wanted him to help me get anything...and i asked him to help me get a Kate Spade.
Think now cannot already lor.
No more Kate Spade.
No more Chanel earrings.

Luckily we are safe.
It just proves that my slow and kiasee driving is still safer than fast and overconfident drivers!
Next time, Im not gg to bother if anyone asks me to "pick up speed" when im driving.
And yes baby, im talking about you.
Slow and steady wins the race!

You and I collide

Baby and I met up with a car accident yesterday evening at 5pm along PIE,
on the flyover after Paya Lebar exit.
We were heading to his house from my house,
with an intent to go jogging at East Coast Park.
He was the one driving.
But so suay, kenna car accident which held us back on the road for at least half an hour.

It was a three car collision.
Ours was the last car. Suay.
We were travelling on the right-most lane when we saw the front Honda Jazz suddenly jam-braked.
We jam-braked too...but it was kinda too late.
Coz the Honda in front really did an emergency brake.
We braked very hard den release a little to give the car behind us ample warning so that we will not be hit.
But unfortunately, even when we jam-braked again (the whole brake was stepped fully!), still cannot avoid hitting the car in front.
N apparently, the Honda Jazz crashed into a Honda Integra in front of it.
No wonder it jam-braked.
The Honda Integra said that the car in front of his jam-braked too...
But luckily he din hit the car in front but he kenna hit by the Honda Jazz and
our Volvo hit the Honda Jazz.

The back of both Hondas was all dented.
The Honda Jazz is the most suay, being the middle car, front and back all scratched n dented.
But not so serious la, luckily. All 3 cars still can be driven.

Our front bumper, grill were dented, but not as jialat as the two Hondas.
Our license plate also dented and dangling...gonna drop off liao lor.
An ambulance coincidentally passed by, and stopped to check if we were ok.
Luckily no one was hurt.
The traffic poilice came by too and took down our particulars.
But it was weird coz none of us called the traffic police.

When we started driving off, we realised why the traffic police came by
altho none of us called.
About less than 100m ahead of us at the end of the flyover, gg towards Eunos exit,
there was another accident.
A 4 car collision, which was much more serious than ours!!!
Wah such a coincidence, 2 traffic accidents on the same flyover along PIE,
less than 100m apart, around the same time, and on the right-most lane.

So should buy 4D right?
So me and Baby bought 4D today, of our car, the car we hit, and the date.
We also shun bian bought the 10million toto angbao draw. Haha.

Pls console my Baby if you guys see him or happen to talk to him.
He was quite upset yesterday as it was his first accident.
N we have to pay for the damages.
Dunno how much yet, but it may come up to quite a big sum.

We took half day leave today to lodge a report with the insurance company
and to have the car inspected.
The workshop is supposed to quote us before we decide to claim insurance anot.
See if claim or dun claim more worth it.
My baby has been feeling so sian since yesterday.
Poor Baby.
No worries, you have me to face everything with you!

Money is not a problem.
May we win the 4D or TOTO!!! =)

Luckily nothing happened to both of us.
N thanks for holding me back onto my seat so that I wun "fly" when we collided.
Love ya....

Im alright, not that scared.
Coz i kenna much worse and more serious accident before 4 years ago.
That was so bad that it left me super traumatised.
Till now, still haunts me sometimes.
So this kinda less serious accidents dun scared me anymore.
Coz at least we were still in control of the car, and the car din fly or slipped or get smashed.

Thank God.

Another trip coming up!

Yay! Baby and I will be going away this weekend on another weekend trip.
We will be going on-board the Royal Caribbean cruise - Legends of the Sea,
for a 4D3N trip to Penang and KL.
Last min. decision as Baby got offered some special travel industry promo rates
which are slighly more than 50% cheaper than the original rates!
But departure dates are only either 5 Jan or 9 Jan,
so we are gg this weekend from Friday afternoon till Monday morning.
Being in the travel trade certainly have much travel perks!
I wanna join the travel trade too =/

Adios!
Super looking forward to it...
Coz im having the go-back-to-work-and-slog blues esp this period when it is the beginning of the year.

This will be my first time on a cruise. Suaku me.
High class cruise somemore...not your normal star cruise hor...
Hahaha!

Im gonna pack 2 bikinis! One for Saturday and one for Sunday...
Muahahhahahaa.

Our KL Trip!

Short getaway with Baby on a 3D2N trip to Kuala Lumpur on the weekend before Xmas.
Was a good break from work.
KL had nothing much to offer though (except for the great clubbing!).
Fashion sucks, nothing much to walk or go to.
But just being with Baby makes the trip super enjoyable!
We can be anywhere in the world as long as we are there together =)

My virgin flight on Jetstar.
Have nvr taken budget airlines before.
But Jetstar seems ok. At least we get to choose and reserve our seats in advance.
I will never take Air Asia or Tiger Airways!
Flight was at 630am...super early.
Was at the airport by 445am. *yawnz*
Only had about 3 hours of sleep.

Disney at Changi



Harrods at KLIA! (Kuala Lumpur International Airport)
Uber cute!




I love this Harrods brolly!
But i din buy it coz everything is super overpriced.


Baby using my Hello Kitty pen to fill up his immigration card.
That's one of the Kitty pens he bought for me from Japan's Universal Studio!


Upon arriving, we took the KL Express train to KL Central,
before transfering to a monorail to get to our hotel's train station.
The express train was nice and clean with comfy seats.
But oh boy, their public transport sucks!
Everything looks old and dirty. The monorail looks like it can breakdown any moment.
KL is still a rather backward place by my standards!
I thot they are supposed to be a very developed city.
But kinda looks like Bangkok to me. Haha.
In fact i think Bangkok trains are better and cleaner.

We are finally at our hotel, Berjaya Times Square,
where their rooms are all suites.
We booked the normal suite room.
Good news is that upon our request, we cud check in early at 12pm,
n check out late at 2pm! =)

Here's our suite.
There is a living room, dining table, kitchenette, 2 connecting bathrooms and a bedroom.
I find it somewhat old though. I had higher expectations actually.
A few of the side lamps in our room were not working!
N the bathtub dun look sparkling clean.
It is supposed to be a 5-star hotel but looks more like a 3.5 or 4-star to me.
But overall it was ok la, carpeted, spacious and we were on the highest floor (43rd floor) =)


Hotel.


Hotel view from our room window. Swimming pool looks pretty good.


The old KL prison.
Luckily now defunct, else I will be very scared to stay at Berjaya coz it is so near the prison.


Our hotel is connected to Berjaya Times Square Shopping Mall.
Super big mall with a indoor theme park.
Check out the roller coaster track. Scary.


Went shopping ard. Check out Etude House!
So Pink! I like!
But nothing to buy lar...


Xmas tree deco. Every mall sure got some Xmas tree one...


We went shopping at Sungei Wang as well and bought some dvds at a fantastic deal!
Ate chicken buffet dinner at Hertz American Chicken Buffet Restaurant.
Chicken tasted great! But everything else sucks..esp all the sides.

Highlight of the trip was our clubbing experience there!
We checked out Phuture at Zouk Malaysia..and oh boy, it was way better than Singapore's Zouk!

Their Phuture totally rocks and the DJ was fantastic!
Played lotsa super nice R&B songs.
They first warmed up with the older popular R&B songs,
which brought back may memories and were super nice to groove to.
Den they came full swing with the latest R&B songs!
Was so good, it got me and Baby all high on the music and dancing all night long
altho our feet were killing us!
We only had one whisky and one beer each.
Totally not high but totally high on the music.
Which is a very rare case for us in SG.
Here in SG we usually got to drink a considerable amount before we get all high and dance away.
Trust me, it is that good!
I was so wishing my gals Candy, LY and Yanz were there w us that night to enjoy this!
I know that they wud have loved it as much as I do.

Pics taken before we went to club.


Back from clubbing in the hotel lift.
We were super exhausted from all the non-stop dancing.
Havent clubbed like this in a long while.
I almost cudnt feel my legs.


Next day, we resumed shopping at Lot 10.
Haha, we bought clothes from Topshop and Topman.
Isnt it funny? Singapore got, dun wanna shop.
Go all the way to KL buy Topshop. Crap. Haha.
But seriously the fashion at the local shops sucks!

Lot 10. Xmas tree again.


Cool cafe with bed-like couches in the middle of the mall.
Reminds me of Bedsupper Club concept.


Cool Xmas sphere by Dell outside Pavillion shopping mall.
They really got those small white bits swirling inside the sphere like snow.


Pavillion shopping mall. Huge mall. Heard that it is pretty new.


Us taking a break in the shopping centre.
Legs really breaking!


Modesto pizza, takeaway.
Taste damn shiok.


At KLCC Suria at night.
Xmas tree again.


KLCC park just outside the shopping mall.


Petronas Twin Towers!
It really looks good. It is probably the nicest building in KL.
Nothing else comes close.
Looks rather ordinary in the day. But at night, it looks magnificent!


What's gg to Malaysia without eating some local cusine?
No coffeeshops for me pls.
So we went to Madam Kwans' - Truly Malaysian Cuisine restaurant.
Ate some otah, nasi lemak and another nasi-something.
Taste super good! Uber Shiok!
Had chendol for deeserts too. But dessert was a disappointment.
I had better chendol. Haha.


After dinner there was nothing really to do or shop.
So we went out of KLCC Suria, crossed over the road to find a good spot to take a pic of the twin towers!


I took such a great shot of Baby and the Twin Towers!


But the same cant be said of his photos.
His photography skills just sucks lar.
He took many shots of me and the twin towers, and this is the best he cud pull off.


We went to Ampang at night and walked along the long stretch of bars and pubs.
It is something like Mohammed Sultan back in the days when it was still alive.
Came to this place called Beach Hut which we heard is quite good.
It has the most number of patrons on a Sunday night,
and was the most packed club along the street.


There were lotsa Filipinos at the club though.
Hookers I presume.
All scantily-cladded, flirting, eyeing and trying to hook up with the ang mohs.
Some succeeded, some were turned down flat.
It was a damn good place to people-watch here.
N despite us just sitting there for over an hour with only one drink that night,
we really enjoyed ourselves watching people and gossiping about them. Haha.
Those Filipinos are really daring and blatant!
N they only want ang mohs. Men of other races like Malays or Indians are all rejected.
N they have really big boobs! Like at least a C to D Cup.
On top of that, they all wore push-ups to emphasize their assets even more.
Gosh...it's like shoving them in the ang mohs' faces.
I suspect their boobs are fake. How can ALL of them have such big boobs?
Most are thin, so confirm fake lor!
Only those plumpish ones...maybe real la. haha.

We went swimming at our hotel the next day after breakfast.
It was our 3rd and last day in KL.
Wanted to suntan, but we only managed to do so for awhile,
coz the sun disappeared into the clouds after that =(


Surprsingly, when we tried getting into the water for some dipping and swimming after tanning,
the waters were super cold!
It was so cold, both me and Baby were shivering like mad
and we took a long long time to get our whole body into the pool.
We had to go in by the steps in the pool, machiam like kids,
to slowly submerge ourselves into the pool.
N yes, we were making a lot of noise. Esp me, i was shrieking!
N my teeth were chattering. No joke.

KL Tower.
Taken from the swimming pool which was perched on the 14th floor.


Petronas Twin Towers.
Told you it doesnt look as nice in the day as at night.


We went for a bit more shopping after that at Chinatown, Petaling Street.
Baby managed to do some shopping there, and I managed to get gifts for my bro and dad.

Did some last minute shopping before we had our last meal in KL.
Had yummy food at Vivo!
Haha...it is actually a cafe/restaurant like Spagheddies offering pastas and pizzas.
Not too bad actually.
Pretty cheap too for a restaurant.

My Mango freeze thingy drink.


Bbay's chocolate marshmellow brownie drink.


Greedy pig!



Ok that's it.
Adios KL.
The shopping there was truly a disappointment.
We din buy much there.
The number of things me and baby bought can use just 2 hands to count lor.

Back in SG, Changi Airport,
Baby and I walked past Gucci and he suddenly spotted a wallet which looks like the one I wanted in Gucci's display window!
I looked closely and it certainly was!
N lo and behold!
It was the last new piece!
The lady said it was a very popular and fast selling item and most places do not have stock anymore.
I bought it immediately!
I was so so happie, and felt so so lucky to have came across it.
Phew!

I actually have it reserved at Gucci Paragon,
as the wallet has been out of stock and new shipment has not come in yet.
But so far, they have not called me back.
I waited and waited for almost a month already!
Feel really lucky to have bought the last new piece at the airport's Gucci.
If not I udnno how long more I have to wait!

But yet felt abit suay coz if i was departing, I did not have to pay tax.
I was arriving, so I had to pay the dumb 7% GST which works out to be almost $50! =(
Cudnt get it when I was departing coz my flight was 630am and the shops are all not opened yet.
Suay lor....
So pay the 7% gst lor =(
Haiz.

Nevertheless, im super happy with my new pink Gucci wallet!

Looks smthg lidat, except that the coin part behind the wallet is not a coin zipper but a coin pocket.



Yay! Im one happy girl.

New Year's coming!
Holiday again yay!
