I Love Cherries

Finally went to Suntec City to wrap my new phone today after visiting the FHA exhibition at expo.



Cheerful cherries on a white background!!!



The back view.

So very pretty isn't it? I simply love the cheerful and happy feeling of this design. So very me. That's how I want to be. Happy, happy and happy.

I am just like my phone. I hate being exposed. It's a harsh world out there and it isn't always easy to stay scratch free. That's why I like to feel protected. Protected from the cruel world and the cruel people. It's human nature to be selfish and everyone just thinks of themselves. That is rather sad isn't it?

So when I feel threatened, I like to protect myself. I will start erecting a protective layer around me. To protect myself from getting hurt. From the bruises and scratches which I might suffer from any falls. I hate being brought up high into the sky and then dropped like a worthless pin.

If only protecting myself is as easy as protecting my phone. Life would be so much easier and simple. I agree that life itself can be very simple. But then, simplicity is the most complicated of it all isn't it?

TV Addicts

I have confirmed that my kids have inherited their daddy's love for the TV!!!



See how the both of them concentrate so very hard.



Hahahaha...... my son starting young ah!!! Yun Yi has officially taken over the plasma TV in the living room and her daddy is taking over MY television in the room. Not that I am complaining though.



Cheese!!! Yong Ye looks abit blur and Yun Yi as always faces the camera with a megawatt smile. I love you both!! Muacks!!

Oh yes, the yellow horse is my little boy's comfort toy for now. Just like his sister's pig pig.

遺失的美好

海的思念绵延不绝
终于和天 在地平线交会
爱如果走得够远
应该也会跟辛福相见

承諾常常很像蝴蝶
美丽的飞 盘旋然后不见
但我相信你给我的誓言
就像一定会来的春天

我始终带著你爱的微笑
一路上寻找我遺失的美好
不小心当泪滑嘴角
就用你握过的手抹掉

再多的风景也从不停靠
只一心寻找我遺失的美好
有的人說不清哪裡好 但就是谁都替代不了

在最开始的那一秒
有些事早已经注定要到老
虽然命运爱开玩笑 真心会和真心遇到

我要快乐

又被爱伤了一遍
无所谓 当作成长
刚刚走开的人
烟还点着 味道却淡了
我并不是天生爱寂寞
却比任何人都多
就算把世界给我我
还是一无所有

我要快乐我要能睡的安稳
有些人不抱了才温暖
离开了才不恨 我早应该割舍

我要快乐 哪怕笑的再大声
心不是热的 全都是假的
只有眼泪是真的

把从前想了一遍
谢谢了 伤我的人
想做乐观的人
每种雨声 听了都不冷

我并不是天生爱寂寞
却比任何人都多
就算把世界给我
我还是一无所有

我要快乐我要能睡的安稳
有些人不抱了才温暖
离开了才不恨 我早应该割舍
我要快乐 哪怕笑的再大声
心不是热的 全都是假的
我的决定是对的

Change

There will always be changes in life. But the question is to change for the better or for the worse.

It would be hard. But not impossible. What matters is that we all try. To try and fail is sad but to fail without trying is giving up all chances.

I've always believed that in life, 50% is fated and the other 50% is within our control. To lose something precious because of us being out of control will be a big regret.

In an overcast sky, rays will still shine through. As long as you're willing to find that ray of light, life will thrive.

I will thrive and ride the hard waves. This is my promise. It's time we fulfiled that promise made.

I want my ice-cream you promised me.

It's All Over

All good things must come to an end. It's unfortunate that this end comes so soon. Too soon.

I will not despair as there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I will come out a stronger person. Better person. I deserve better. All things and all people. Definitely better.

Convince me. I need to convince myself.

Shop Till I Drop

Went to Orchard with Lena this afternoon. Shopped and shopped and shopped. Shiok!!! Bought cosmetics, clothes and beauty products. And of course, went for lunch at the Scotts foodcourt. Absolutely love the beef noodles there. Divine.



Taking a breather at McCafe outside Shaw Centre. Walked too much.



It was a good hair day.



Picture taken from my new handphone using the front camera which has a lower resolution. That's why cameras should always remain as cameras.

Dinnertime!!!! Went to Indochine for dinner as per Lena's suggestion. Shesaid she like the toilets there wor.



2 table settings but Wendy joined us shortly after. And yes, free flow of iced-water. Don't you just love restaurants which serves FOC iced-water??



A trip to the toilet to document the purpose of this visit!!! The fish tank washing area. Interesting but not to my liking because the toilet is just simply too dark to see anything clear enough. Duh.



Chow time!!! I had some duck rice noodles soup while Lena had the udon in thick chicken soup. Or something like that lah. The noodles were just passable.



Ahhh.... this one must introduce to all. Fried chicken wings and spring roll with prawns. I tell you, the chicken wings were delicious!!!!! And the spring rolls were pretty good too. Great place, great atmosphere and great finger food. Will be a good choice for friends to catch up over drinks and finger foods. Oh, and did I mention they had cute waiters too??

100th Post & A New Phone

This is my 100th post on blogger. Didn't seem that many right?? But yes, it is. Not bad for an amateur right?? Give some encouragement leh.

Bought a new phone!!! Yippee!!!



I bought a N70 this afternoon. Finally after so many days of pulling my hair out, I have made up my mind. Was actually deciding between N70, Nokia 7370 and Motorola V3i. I really liked the Nokia 7370 but it was more of a fashion phone than anything else. And of course, I wasn't sure if I could handle the swivel thingy. As for the V3i, I was afraid that I couldn't get used to a non Nokia phone and I confirmed that when I was having lunch with my supplier today. But I really liked the slima nd sleekness of the phone.

Anyway, purchase made and no turning back anymore. I had to top up for the phone though because the price exceeded the budget of $500 given to me by my company. Sigh........ Now headache because I've got to go through the hair pulling process of transferring all the numbers, data, pictures and ringtones over to the new phone. And not to mention personalising it again.

I want to go do the sticker thing on my new phone for protection and vanity!! Who wants to go do with me?? $38 only!!!

Traumatised

I am traumatised!!! Scarred for life!!!

Ok ok, it wasn't as bad as it sounds. But close.

Went drinking with friends last Friday at this pub. Halfway through the night, this waitress there sat herself comfortably next to me. I thought she was just being friendly, you know, kind of like part of her job to mingle with the customers. I paid no partcular notice to her when she started inching her butt closer to me.

We were playing some games and talking crap when I was looking for ciggies because I ran out of supplies. And then this waitress offered me a stick. Man, she was really paying attention to my needs!!! Again, I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. Basic courtesy mah!!

After about 15 minutes or so, everytime she laughs at some jokes she will lean against me and starts resting her head on my shoulders!!! Arrggghhhh........ Those who know me should be well and clear about how I simply cannot stand any form of intimacy with people from the same sex. I can't even stand close friends holding my hands!! Imagine how freaked out I was.

And then before I could react, this waitress whispered into my ear. This was what she said:"By the way my name is Alice and my number is XXXXXXXX, call me." I was dumbstruck. Simply too stunned and shocked to say anything else. After staying stunned for about 10 seconds, I reacted in the very courteous manner. I took out my phone and asked her to repeat it. I stored her number!!!!

Please don't ask me why did I do it. I was just being nice. You know, I knew how to reject guys anytime. But this was a female!!! I didn't have any experience before and definitely not something I was expecting.

What is wrong with me?? She was this long haired and sweet looking girl. I definitely do not look like a butch right?? I mean, yes I was in jeans but my hair is permed and let down!! Why am I attracting the wrong sex?? Am I reading too much into this? Maybe she was just being friendly. But hey, you don't give your number out to another girl just because you're friendly right??

Anyway, I have come to a conclusion. You don't need a positive and a negative in a same sex relationship. Help me!!!

Onto the Pram

The maid has decided to place Yong Ye in his stroller whenever she fetches Yun Yi to and from school. He's getting heavy and he perspires alot when carried in his sling.



I used the stroller to bring him to the clinic yesterday too. No fuss!!! Hopefully he'll take well to it then it will be alot easier to bring him out.



He seems to be enjoying it. Or is it because of the bright bright flash?? Anyway, he gets excited really easily!

Happy Birthday Sabrina 2006

Celebrated Sabrina's birthday last Friday with a group of girly friends. Her birthday is actually on the 15th April but since she's going to be away in Genting, we decided to do it earlier.



Me at Debbie posing at Fish & Co.



One group shot courtesy of the help from the very busy waiter there.


We proceeded to after dinner drinks at this wine bar called CornerStone at Robertson Quay. Nive place, nice wine and great company.



Of course, how could we have a birthday without cakes??



Happy birthday to you!!! Make a wish and may your wish come true. We love you!!!



Blow blow harder harder. We are all great at blowing....... candles I meant!! Hahahaha.......



Cheers!!!! Did I see two glasses of iced-water amidst the red wines?? Yes, cos poor Lena had to work the next day and Kerry is driving and also heading back to work later that night.



Group shot again.



I am left out of the picture.... so sad.

Isn't it great to have friends celebrating your birthday with you?? Great friends, great lover and great wine. That's the ultimate.

Flu Vaccination

Just had my flu vaccination done. Chevron is great!! They actually got these medical people to come in and do the jab thing for us. Free!!!

Now my left arm feels a little numb. According to those few cute guys who did the jab, I will most probably be down with a fever tomorrow.

Going drinking tonight and I am assuming I will be hibernating at home tomorrow because of a hangover so the fever is just a ride on.

Want to know why officials around the world is so concerned about the bird flu thingy? I'll tell you why.

************************************************************************************



The Spanish Flu Pandemic was an unusually severe and deadly strain of avian influanza, a viral infectious disease, that killed some 50 million to 100 million people worldwide over about a year in 1918 and 1919. It is thought to have been one of the most deadly pandemics so far in human history. It was caused by the H1N1 type of influenza virus, which is similiar to bird flu of today, mainly H5N1 and H5N2.

The allies of World War I called it the "Spanish Flu". This was mainly because the pandemic received greater press attention in Spain than in the rest of the world, because Spain was not involved in the war and there was no wartime censorship. Although the virus certainly did not originate in Spain, the country did have one of the worst early outbreaks of the disease, with some 8 million people infected in May 1918. It was also described as only "the flu" by publuc health officials seeking to prevent panic.

The Spanish flu may have contributed to the end of World War I. More people died from the Spanish flu in six months than during the five years of conflict of World War I. The epidemic killed at least 20-40 million; some now believe as high as 100 million.

The Spanish flu may have killed 25 million people only in the first 25 weeks beginning in September 1918, while AIDS killed as many in its first 25 years.

The current H5N1 bird flu strain spreading through Asia has some features of the 1918 strain but is so far not able to pass easily from human to human.

All current flu vaccinations are not effective in preventing humans from contracting the H5N1 flu strain.

Scary huh?? I felt so too. Don't play play.

Discount and Miscount

Heatwave by Monsoon @ Marina Square is having promotion!!! 49% discount for all chemical services and 39% discount for all treatments.

Went with Lena yesterday late afternoon before my waxing appointment. Did treatment and also trimmed my hair to give it a little more body.



Nice? Is it better? My head is lighter now, but still feel like it's in a mess!! I feel like I am in a forever battle with my hair. Arrgghhh, this is so frustrating.

I finally tried the Honeypot waxing place at Pacific Plaza yesterday. They use purely hot wax to pull everything out. Not like Strip where they actually have the strips on top of the wax when they pull. Personally, I still prefer Strip. Cheaper than Honeypot too.

Photo Contest Results

Remember the photo contest which I signed Yong Ye up for? He came in second!!! Hurray!!! Thank you to all who showed their support by voting for him. Though I expected him to come in first!! Hahaha...... Anyway, I am proud of him irregardless of the results.

Those of you who are interested to view the results.



His prize came through the mail today. His very first mail!!! Hahaha......



Hmmm.... wonder what's in it.



It's a nice little romper. In blue for boy no doubt.

Anyone knows of any baby contest let me know yeah??



Yong Ye turns 5 months and I decided to let him have a taste of cereal today. Chicken rice flavour!!!! I tried it and the taste was pretty mild.



All prepped up and ready for his first official semi-solid meal. And how did he react to it? He totally hated it!! Wahaha.... had all sorts of weird facial expressions and finally got frustrated and started wailing away. Not a very good start. But I have told the maid to let him try every day during lunch. It takes time.
