How you feel about yourself now

You want love or a new love in your life and a new relationship is in the offering. Even if you are not thinking about love, you’re in for a surprise. If faced with a choice this is an important one and could affect the rest of your life.

What you most want at this moment

The cards suggest that what you most want at this time is to find the strength and will power to see you through and achieve what you want. It is important to come from a place of love and tolerance though, and not aggression. Put your fears to rest and develop a positive attitude and you’ll reap richer rewards.

Your fears

You are in fear of everything turning for the worse for you, perhaps you are experiencing a run of bad luck. You have to trust that most of what we fear never happens and as The Wheel of Fortune turns downwards against you, the wheel will naturally turn upwards again and bring good fortune to you too. This difficult phase will pass.

What is going for you

All lines are open in your telephone exchange with your intuition, and there is no better guide than your intuition. Listen, listen carefully and the secret you want revealed will be shared with you.

What is going against you

This is a time of anxiety, depression and fear with all the turmoil and distressing events happening in your life - it's time to show what you are made of. What has now come to an end leaves room for brand new beginnings in life, love and career. However radical events may be in your life, believe that life goes on and life is what you make of it.

Outcome

This is a truly creative and fertile time. Expect the best if you are considering having a child, creating a new job or business opportunity or starting a creative project. The Empress symbolizes abundance, joy and happiness, and reassurance - a firm foundation for future progress.

Hmmm.. true in a way. This type of online tarot reading never fails to amaze me. Especially the wheel thingy that Gorilla has mentioned in his comment. Really hope that my job search will be an optimistic one. I want to prove to my snobbish relatives that I can do so much better without staying at their pathetic tuition centre and taking such meagre pay from them that ain't enough to even cover my shopping expenses, hmmph!

I BELIEVE THAT I CAN SHINE ONE DAY...

I have a colossal ulcer on the inner side of my lower lips and it's super painful when I brush my teeth or drink hot/cold drinks. Arrgh! Why I so suay one this year?! It seems nothing good comes my way. Why Why Why?!!!

Went to the doc with Mum yesterday noon. My flu was worse than hers thus I got more pills to pop =( She was better today but my condition is still that bad. Okie, no more runny nose that drips non-stop but it became a blocked nose instead. Duhzz, doc said I could take mum's medicine if my nose becomes blocked. Thus for the whole day, I just slept cuz I felt so feverish and tired due to the flu and pills.

Have an interview tml morning at Merchant Square. Ayeee, don't really know how to get there but I did a directory search online just now and recorded down some info in my notebook. I will not reveal what job I'm going for cuz I might not get it eventually (like all my previous ones) and will only update here once I get employed.

Actually I did get shortlisted for one of the interviews I've attended as a Sales & Marketing Executive in an advertising firm. However, after much consideration myself and advices from people around me, the job will be really tough and is not suitable for me at all. Thus, I decided not to go for the second interview. I hope to be doing something I like and not just to look for a job. At least I will not dread going to work next time.

It's passed midnight and is now 29th Feb, a leap year. Really unfortunate for those born on this day cuz they only get to celebrate their birthday once every four years. Really pathethic. And I happen to have such a friend who is suay suay born on this day. He did ask me to attend his birthday bash but I don't like parties, especially mingling in crowds who are strangers to me thus I had rejected him nicely. Somemore it's been about 4 yrs(?) since I've last seen him, will feel uncomfortable and out of place leh. Anyway, as all friends know I'm a very direct person in my speech, I told him my views lah and he continued to persuade me and even sent a mass sms to his friends (yes, even me) to remind us of his once in four years birthday. Still, I don't think I will go lahh, maybe give him a treat in future if we were to meet bah.

Talk about being direct, maybe people around me will get offended at times cuz of the remarks I've made. Actually, if I really start to tease a person, it's cuz I see you as my really good pal and I thought that we can laugh off the jokes or statements that I've made. I don't mean anything bad at all lah, I can even laugh at myself in front of others. However, I try hard not to hurt them lah, try to be tactful at times but still, others perceive that I'm humiliating/insulating them. Duhzz!

For instance, if my friend is overweight, I will NEVER say that she is FAT. I will use more appropriate terms like CHUBBY or FLESHY... To you, they mean the same but to me, I'm trying my best not to let them feel hurt. FAT to me is describing people will lots of fat bulging out and looks somewhat like the 500 pounds beauty. I don't think I have such FAT gfs around me....

For instance, if my friend is not tall, I will NEVER use the word SHORT on her. I will say she is PETITE cuz to me, if her height falls below 1.6m, I seriously think she is small-size but cute in a way! Then again, even my tactfulness offended some of them lahh.

I really think females are way too sensitive than males in a way that they can be offended really easily by the slightest thing/comment about them. I do prefer cracking jokes with males as they know that my words are harmless. My heart simply don't mean them at all.

Big Alicia and I are always exchanging crude jokes with each other. I don't get offended when she or someone else called me skinny lah, legs like chopsticks lah, look like paper man lah (as thin as paper geddit?) or get blown away easily when there's a strong wind lah... etc etc. Why should I get offended at something so minor? Alicia once made a comment about me. She said that she likes me as a friend as she can feel my sincerity. To her, I'm very real, not hypocrite at all, that's why she likes to be my friend. Even though at times, I'm too blunt but she knows I do not mean them.

Fortunately, I still have a few gfs who knows me well and don't get offended by my words at all. Hey, they too cracked jokes of me okay! Though it sounds like I'm bullying them all the time liddat. Not true! Hehe! Girls, next time just try to laugh off a silly joke lah instead of putting it to heart if I really unintentionally said something that might seems alright to me yet unpleasant to you. I really DON'T mean it one!!!

This Sat, I will be meeting Qi at Jurong Point (Sooo far away!!) and going to Von's house warming together. Haizz, staying in Toa Payoh, my area is the most central liao but all my friends are staying so far away lah, inconvenient to meet at times. At night when I feel so bored and wanna meet someone nearby to get a drink and chat, I pratically can't find a single soul. Sadzz.

My stupid computer is down AGAIN!!! Using bro's to surf net and update my blog. Abhor that useless and problematic CPU that suka suka throw tantrum. I cannot live without Internet as I need it to search for jobs, check mails and make payment through IBanking. That lazy pig did not sleep the whole night yesterday, hogging on his computer to play game and I only can use it now when he's sleeping. Was quite angry at my bro as he promised to take my CPU to Sim Lim to repair but the whole day today, he was stuck to his computer! Nvm, I informed him not to shut down his PC after playing as I need to use but he went ahead to shut down and went to bed after that!! Nudged him several times but he refused to get up and help me key in his password. But I bo bian, really need to get online to check something so I nudged him again after a while. He reluctantly woke up, punched in some letters and went back to slumberland.

Really pei fu him, faced the monitor since last night till this evening without any rest/sleep, he can take it ah? Why can't he take his fat ass out to look for a job instead of slacking and idling at home? He's already 23 this year, why can't he be more sensible? I'm only jobless for a month and I'm already worrying of no income and my expenses, yet he has been jobless since last Dec, his angbao money can last him that long meh??

1am le and I must go to bed again. Sucks feeling ill cuz that's what I'll be doing most of the time, sleepin sleepin sleepin. The more you sleep the more exhausted you become. But I really don't have that energy nor in a good condition to get out of the house leh, let alone attending any interview. Sigh. Hope I get well soon and my stubborn flu will leave me for good.

Nite to those who still bother to check my ever-so-boring blog. I'm quite surprised as a matter of fact that from my counter, there are still quite a number of souls checking out my blog everyday but I've only disclosed this new url to a few only? LOL! Sweet dreams everyone! =D

Feeling really lethargic as I'm down with heavy flu and the constant blowing of my nose causes me to be tired. Think that I might be down with fever soon as I felt warm and feverish. Luckily the sore throat I had yesterday subsided. Loathe having flu cuz mine usually is heavy (like my menses, arrgh!) and is persistent to stay. Took 4 flu panadols in total since last night and my condition did not seem to get better. I might have to pay a visit to my doctor again tml. Sigh. In the end, I was unable to sleep last night till 5plus in the morning due to my runny nose and I used up almost a whole roll of toilet paper! Poor nose!!

And the best part is that both my parents kena flu too! LoL. Today, Mummy kept putting the blame on Dad and me for passing the virus to her. Then Sis came over and while she was surfing the Internet, she popped a question. She asked whether we could smell something fishy, and could it be from her shoes....

I replied her that by asking this question to 3 people who have lost their sense of smell due to flu, we simply couldn't answer her at all!! She gotta ask my Baby lor who is still pink in health. Unfortunately, my Baby started to sneeze several times after I made the comment. Oops!

And then my bro who was stuck in his room most of the time playing his computer games, started coughing and sneezing too~! Duhzz, everyone in the family is ill now.

Was doing homework on my Taiwan trip, planning the itinerary on where to go and accommodation too. I had to be the one doing the research cuz Pauline doesn't have Internet at home. We might be going to NATAS fair this Sun for more information. Sis is going Taiwan this Thurs and I will get more information from her too! The weather in Taiwan now is damn cold lor, about 12 degree Celsius. In Oct when it's my turn to go, it's an average of 20 degree Celsius which is not so bad.

As we're only there for 6D5N (most likely), we can't visit alot of places. Guess we'll only stop by Taipei and KaohSiung. We intend to take JetStar instead of SQ as it's lots cheaper but heard that JetStar's flights are only available in the noon so by the time we reached Taiwan, it'll be evening already and a day's wasted =(

Can't wait to start our shopping spree there and I want to buy more goodies back too, esp Tai Yang Bing!! It's not that sweet and I will prefer it to Lao Po Bing anytime!! Love it!!!

Also I think hor, I'm colourblind leh.... Purple I see as Brown. Green I see as Blue. Yellow I see as Orange. Siao liao lahhh!!!!!

My whole body is aching, especially the muscles of my thighs. Been meeting friend and attending interview from Mon to Fri, damn tiring. Bought a pair of covered shoes and wore it twice for my interviews. It seemed so comfortable at that point of purchase but as I wore it out, my poor feet suffered the whole of the journey. In the end, the back of my feet had blisters and not only that, almost my ten toes had blisters too! *Wail* Super pain can!

Da yi ma has to come visit yesterday and I felt so queasy and a lil' unwell due to her. My menses are always damn heavy one lor, so I gotta change my loti and visit the lavatory quite often. It sucks to be a female at times.

Update on my job status. I'm still unemployed and thus have to actively continuing looking for a job. Hopefully M1 will give me a call soon as I think everything went well yesterday during the interview. Oh ya, and Sg is really small that I bumped into Fion at Raffles Place after my OCBC interview on Thursday. It's been so long since I've last seen her and she's the one who saw and approached me. Glad that her mum is discharged already.

Went down to the tour agency with Pauline to find out more on how to utilise her vouchers and we're really excited when the staff told us that we can change our destination. Therefore we have decided to change our venue to Taiwan instead!! I can foresee it as a shopping paradise for us both shopping queens, muahaha. However, we have not really plan on the places to visit or how long we intend to stay there. Need to do more research first but most likely, we'll be there for maybe 6D5N? At least Taiwan will be so much a better choice than HongKong as I've heard many negative comments on the HongKongers and their places of interests.

Received an email recently and it's a numerology reading. Extracted the content and I've bold those I've found quite true!

Hi there Serene,

I've been looking a little deeper at your numerology chart
Serene, and here is what I have found:

I see you floating in a sea of endless time - great vistas and a
feeling of lifetimes behind and ahead of you. I get the feeling of
urgency with you Serene, things that must be done,
lessons that must be experienced. I sense the rhythm of life, the
cycles we all experience.

From your Life Path in combination with your Soul Urge, I get the
impression that you have a pleasant personality, and are generally
liked by others. You can be easily hurt at times, and as a result
are more careful with displaying your feelings than you used to be.

Serene, I sense that you are a very busy person who is
always on the go. The more you have on your plate, the better. At
times you wish you had less to do, but you would be totally lost if
you woke up one morning and found nothing at all to do! This
couldn't happen, of course, as every time you get a space you seem
to fill it up very quickly. You'll be just as busy in late life as
well ... in fact you won't get time to grow old, you'll just simply
keep on growing!

Having said that, it's not surprising you need a break after this
past year. Let's face it - we all need a little breathing space now
and again to re-charge our batteries. Remember to take time to
smell the roses!

Serene, you have had a few worries recently about money,
but you know you have the power to solve them. While it's been a
bit of a bumpy ride financially these past couple of years, the
next 18 months or so will be a lot easier.

Looking at your Personal Days and Personal Months, you should be
pleased Serene ... it shows that shortly you will receive
some pleasant news. It is nothing momentous, but is sufficient to
raise your sights and hopes. It is good news.

I sense a period early on in your life - teenage years perhaps -
when you felt misunderstood, as if you couldn't really get close to
anyone, as it you are walking on the outside of life. These
feelings very occasionally reoccur.

You are a very special person Serene. The experiences you
undergo are all for a very special purpose, one I'm sure you are
not aware of yet. Nevertheless, you are progressing in exactly the
right direction. Your timing is good and you are learning from
every experience. I don't know if you believe in reincarnation, but
I get the feeling that you are a highly evolved person, as if you
have lived many times before. In time you will have much to offer
the rest of us.

Romantically, it has not always been easy, and your outlook on like
has changed because of this. The future is much easier in this
regard than in the past.

Serene, you have sometimes wondered if you have made the
right decisions at times, and it looks as it you have. You work
best when you make your own mind up on things, though it is useful
to ask other people for advice before you make your own mind up.

I see some travel in your future, and several new horizons
beckoning. Your progress in this world has not always been as fast
as you would like, but I can see significant growth in the future.
You tend to feel you have a lot of unused capacity, and that people
don't always give you full credit for your abilities.

I can see you happy and productive in your old age, surrounded by
friends and family. You are of above average intelligence, and will
keep on learning all the way through life.

"A lil' break after this past year..." It seemed to be hinting on me resigning from my previous job and that I ought to take a rest and breather and to recharge my energy. "A few worries recently about money..." Aahh, yes, definitely. I was putting on so much stress on myself that I cried one of the nights ago, feeling so terrified of my unemployment and having no inkling on where my future is heading. So worried that I'm gonna be broke again soon. That I still gotta pay for my insurances and bills. So guilty that I've stopped giving my parents allowance and thus unable to lighten their burdens. That my mood was so affected, I even broke down in tears while conversing with big Alicia. At least I felt alot better after that. Sigh. It's just a tough phase for me right now.

"Shortly you will receive some pleasant news..." Getting a job will be really pleasant to me!! "I see some travel in your future...." talking about my upcoming trip with Pauline? Hehe. Perhaps I'm thinking too much...

Viyond finally sent me 2 pics that were taken at Kenny's Rom. Unfortunately the one that I took with Mr. Lau is missing, haizz. Hardly see Ah Lau so was hoping to keep it as a momentum mah.... Anyway, I looked quite ugly in the pics as usual. Guess I'm not photogenic at all.

Was at an aesthetic clinic last year Dec and saw an article on plastic surgery in a magazine while waiting for the doctor. Took the images with my hp and this was how the before and after pic of the woman looked like....

Before

After

Hmmm, if I have a choice to go for plastic surgery too, the first area to undergo the knife will be my mini eyes of course!! It's a pity I ain't born with a golden spoon else I can be a mei nu too, hurhur.

I'm sure all of you must have heard of the death news of HongKong celebrity, Lydia Sum by now. She finally died of liver cancer yesterday morning at 8 plus, leaving her only daughter, Joyce Cheng, aged 21 behind.

Well, at least it's a relief for her, better than staying alive and had to suffer.

Back to my promised entry to all of you, a post of the scandal pics of the HK celebrities that's making a big Hoo-Ha in the entertainment industry. Initially I've saved the pics in my photobucket but mostly got deleted by the site as they stated that the images had violated their terms and conditions. Thus, I gotta go back to the site where I got the pics from and linked them here. Do note that the "conversation" in the images are not done by me as I'm just linking them directly.

Don't think Edison dares to appear in front of the public anymore. He is already condemned by the HongKongers and I heard that he is also wanted by both the Police and the underworld leaders. He is just so Suay this year!

Woke up at 6 plus this morning to help my mum at the market. Volunteered to go down cuz my uncle ain't helping her today and I wanna help lighten her burden at work. Oh ya, my parents are back already yesterday in the evening from their China trip. They're really happy going for the trip as they witnessed snow and saw the breath-taking view of snow covered mountain. Especially my dad, he was talking to us non-stop, sharing his expedition with us. Hehe...

Talk about trip, I will be going to HongKong with Pauline in Oct!! She has won a pair of tickets worth about $800 in her company lucky dip and her bf might not be free so I'll be accompanying her there instead. We gotta make flight reservation by end March and I guess we'll have to start planning already. Will not be visiting Disney Land cuz the feedbacks received were rather negative. We'll be there purely for a shopping spree bah. Both of us are really excited and are anticipating for the getaway as it's a virgin overseas trip that we are gonna have after knowing each other for so long.... Muahaha. I simply can't wait!!!

Am still waiting for an interview with the OCBC Bank, the one that I applied for at the recruitment agency. Received another call this noon for an interview on this coming Monday but the location is damn far leh, at Loyang Lane, near the Dua Pek Gong Temple.. faint. Luckily the man told me on the phone that I got direct bus down from my area. However, I'm more interested in the latter cuz it seemed more interesting than the OCBC one. The company is Walt Disney and job title is known as "Master Control Officer", something to do with media, making sure everything that's gonna be transmitted on tv goes smoothly. Hope things will look optimistic for me and I need to get a job soon so that I can start saving up for my HK trip and can go there shop shop shop =)

Visited a doc the day before, before heading to PS to meet up with Pauline and a long time no see pri sch friend, Xiuyun. Doc said I'm allergic to *ahem* hard to tell lah, but he gave me pills to stop the itch, for allergy and cream to apply on infected areas. My condition has improved drastically, am waiting for the ugly dark scars to diminish.

It was a nice day spent with my gfs after that. Pauline's bf joined us for lunch before he left and we proceeded to shop. I bought a bling bling sling bag, 2 pairs of shorts but I've went back to exchange for a white top the next day cuz I simply couldn't fit in (they are elastic and are those casual shorts you wear at home, thought the smallest size will fit me but my butts proved too big to be pulled up!), a SaSa milk body shower that feels and smells heavenly and went for a trim at REDS while Pauline cut and dyed her hair. Xiuyun left just as we are going to do our hair. I like waited for her for 1 & half hr lor... Cuz I only trim mah. In the end, we started at 530pm and finally left at 9pm (-__-)""

Had a simple dinner at MOS BURGER and we chatted till 1030pm before taking a train home. Am soo lazy to bother taking any pic and uploading them (my USB port down anyway) though at times, I can still use my bro's com to upload lah. But very troublesome as he set password to log in his com and I can only use it when he's at home AND not using the com. Most of the time, he'll be playing games or watching drama serials from the internet so I'll hardly have any chance to use also lah. Will find one day, when I am darn free and in that darn mood to start taking pics again then I'll update them here. Meanwhile, here are a few long over-due pic from my phone.

Pizza feast that I've ordered on last Sun for dinner. Was meant for 4-6 people but only bro and I shared the food between ourselves! We couldn't finish all, left 3 slices and bro microwaved them for lunch few days later. There were 8 drumlets but I ate 2 before taking the pic cuz I was too hungry. I LOVE their spicy drumlets!! So delicious!! =D~~

And the next day, I told bro to buy chilli crabs that was so uber spicy and yummy!! We really know how to indulge in good food during this CNY when our parents are not around.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and I really did not wanna step out of my home lah, seeing all couples so lovingly basking in their sea of love. And it's this very day whereby you will see almost all the females carrying bouquets of flowers and their bfs carrying their handbags for them. You also can't miss out the affectionate kisses that were being displayed in public, as if there's no one else around them, only can see each other in their eyes.... I wonder can they see the "bak sai" in their eyes as well.

Arrgh! If not I have to head to PS to exchange my shorts, I would have gladly stayed home. Not a day for singles like me lah.

Anyway, I'm targeting 2 GUESS bags. Will get them once I got a job. Ya lah, I know I must save up for my HK trip, I know. So maybe I'll just get one and see how. Am addicted to leggings/stockings too!!!

Funny conversation between Pauline and her beau about me when I'm not around...

Him : Why Serene dressed till so bright?! (I was wearing a white top accessorized with a gold-colored necklace and belt and wore a pair of black leggings and my white princessy heels)

Her : Bright meh? To her is very normal one. This type of loud/bright dressing is her normal dressing already!

Wahaha, ya lah... I dressed in whatever style I like and prefer and will not care about other's view/opinions at all. Am also drooling over some clothings in an online spree. Still contemplating on which to get. I wanna revamp my wardrobe!!!!

P/s.My next entry would be pics of the HK scandal, Edison, Gillian, Cecilia Zhang and BoBo Chan so stay tuned! They're censored of the "nether regions" so it's not a crime to post them here, don't worry!

Dong Dong Chiang!!

Happy RAT year to everyone!!!

Today is Chu er already, soon Chinese New Year will be over like a breeze. Did you guys collect alot of ang pows? As for me, I got red packets from my parents and sis on New year eve. And like I've mentioned earlier, we already had our reunion dinner thus on the eve itself, Mom cooked a simple dinner for Dad and bro then I took a bus to Tpy Ctrl with her. She said wanna go walk around to see whether we can still get some goodies from the supermarket. We left home at about 7pm....

Only to realise that all the shops, including the supermarkets were closed for the day too. Haizz, what a wasted trip. The eateries were not operating too, and while everyone was having a sumptuous dinner, we had to settle for roti prata cuz that's the only stall available lorrr. We got no choice but to take a bus back home after that.

I stayed up all night on the eve watching Korean vcds and only went to bed at about 7am. My sis and her husband picked up my parents at about 6am and sent them to the airport. Hope they will enjoy themselves on their trip!

Yesterday, bro and I had cup noodle for lunch. As for dinner, I cooked rice, fried luncheon meat and microwaved some honey-coated chicken wings. Unfortunately, I really couldn't cook at all, and it's been so long since I've cooked rice already. In the end, I added too much water and it's quite sticky and porridge-like. Duhzzz. Bo bian, still gotta eat. Poor baby also suffered the same fate cuz she had to eat the rice mixed with cabbage and pork for dinner.

Quite zo-bo the whole day at home on Chu Yi, it's just any other normal day to me. Stayed up till 5am this morning watching Korean drama again. Cham le... I've been sleeping only in the morning for quite some time already. I need to get used to sleeping early again!

Introducing to you the Korean drama that got me hooked.

It's really a nice drama which I myself liked alot. The title is called "Fashion 70s". Because of this show, I'm in love with....

Joo Jin Mo!! He is soooo SHUAI!!! Sooo charming!!! SOooo Charismatic!!!

Found out that he also starred in the movie 200 pounds Beauty and I've not caught it yet. Must go get the dvd soon.... *Swoons with ~~lust~~ adoration*

Today, I nua at home again. Did help to vacuum the floor, washed the clothes and cook dinner again. Oh yah, for lunch, sis dropped by and got me and bro a packet of mee rebus each. For dinner, I cooked rice with fried crab sticks, an egg each and re-microwaved the chicken wings that were left over from yesterday. The rice this time round tasted alot better but the wings had become too hard.

My skin has become so sensitive recently that patches of red rashes had formed on my arms and legs. They were also very itchy and I had to apply body lotion and powder to stop the itch so that the redness would fade. I don't why my skin's condition has deteriorated. I'm intending to switch to a better shower foam/gel and observe whether there's any improvement. Otherwise I might have to visit the doctor soon =(

Going to big Alicia's home in the noon with small Alicia tml to bai nian. After that, I might be having dinner with my siblings. Hmm, and I visited Fion's blog yesterday, expecting to read some happy post of the new year from her. Imagine my shock when I realised that her Mom was hospitalised. Smsed her right away and she replied that the operation was just over and her Mom was resting. Hopefully everything goes well for her.

I'm unable to upload pics for the time being cuz the last time bro brought my CPU for repair, the USB port became faulty when he took it back. It couldn't detect any USB cable that I plugged in. =(

Gonna take a shower now. Can't stop myself from scratching. *Grrrr*

Went to help my mum at her stall again yesterday morning. Was supposed to reach the market at 7am but I overslept till about 8am!! My uncle who was helping her too, had to give me a call to wake me up... Paisay!

However, it's not entirely my fault. My dad's useless phone lor. Not only calls couldn't be made, the alarm clock system ain't working as well. But how was I to know. I did wake up at about 6am though cuz Baby wanna go pee (as usual) and I went back to rest for a while more since it was still early. I remembered vaguely that the last time I checked my phone, it was 630am. 5 mins more before the alarm rings, I closed my eyes and .... drifted into slumberland till about 8am! (Chants, "Stupid phone... Stupid phone.")

Perhaps it's partly due to the fact that I only slept at 2plus the night before therefore was weary. Accompanied Pauline to her empty office cuz she had unfinished work and there's no one in the building thus she's afraid. I was quite free so I agreed to meet up. After she was done at about 8pm, we took a train to Orchard and had a quick dinner at TAKA MOS Burger and did some shopping. It was already very late le and all the shops were practically closed. Orchard late night shopping till 11pm on Sat was a lil' deceiving. WISMA's shops were mostly closed by 1030pm. SG really should extend their retail operating hours till after midnight on weekends!!! In the end, we only managed to purchase a pair of shoes each. I got myself a pair of white heels. It's been quite some time since I wore heels liao, must practise!!

Then we went to have a drink at a lil' cafe opposite Cineleisure till 130am before sharing a cab home. Pauline paid for my drinks and the blueberry cheesecake that we shared and even for the cab fare as I did not have change with me. Also because she just got her bonus and she knew that financially now, I wasn't that well off cuz I'm unemployed.

Back to the topic on helping my mum. My mum's selling frozen food in the market just across my home and since CNY is around the corner, she really needs extra help at her stall. But hor, when she's serving a female customer who came with her young daughter and wanted to buy chicken from us, Mom blurted out in Mandarin....

"You wan FRESH or NOT FRESH one??"

The customer who failed to notice Mom's mistake, replied, "I want FRESH one..."

WAH LAO!!!

I chided my mum nicely at the moment that she should ask whether the customers want fresh or frozen meat. SIMI not fresh one.. Who in the right mind will wanna buy NOT FRESH meat?! My mom just laughed at her own error. Kaozz, hope she don't become a laughing stock again next time.

Oh ya, my family had our early reunion dinner last night. We had steamboat as usual and ate lots of abalone and scallops, yummy!! My sis and her husband gotta eat with the male's family on New Year Eve therefore we decided to eat earlier lor.

Called up Samsung service helpline this noon as I still had no news from them yet. The staff said that he would call the PS outlet which I went to and they would contact me again. Received their call in the evening to inform me that my phone was ready for collection tml. HAPPY!!! Hope it won't give me any problem again. I would be going for an interview at a recruitment agency at Orchard first before proceeding to collect my U700. The lady whom I accused of being irresponsible contacted me this noon finally. She apologised of forgetting to email me that day and asked me to go for interview again tml.

Today is Pauline's birthday. Only sent her a sms wishing her and I have not gotten any gift for her yet. Initially wanna get her a GUESS bag but due to budget constraint, I had to rack my brain to think of getting her something else not so expensive instead. That day, she blurted out that she wanna get a perfume and got my opinion on which fragrance is nicer. And so, I will try to get my dearest gf a nice bottle of perfume tml when I'm out. Will then try to meet her again soon to pass it to her and give her a surprise, hehe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BESTEST PAL!!!!

Though she would never get to read my blog but still, I hope that our friendship would last for a lifetime. It's been almost 20 years since we've known each other and am still counting to more years down the road. I will treasure our friendship... =D

Woke up at 7 plus in the morning yesterday to prepare for the supposedly interview despite me not knowing where the venue was. I was thinking like perhaps the lady who supposedly forgot to email me would read my mail to her OR would call me when she realised I wasn't there for the interview and I could then set off right away. And so, by 9am, I was sitting at my PC online WITH my make-up on AND waiting for my phone to ring.

An hour passed and still, my phone was as silent as a grave. Got a feeling that lady ain't responsible after all. I mean, she MUST HAVE seen my email to her cuz she's a recruitment agent and MUST HAVE checked her email everyday as it's part of her job. She should AT LEAST gimme a call OR an email apologising for her forgetfulness OR to update me of the interview again, not?

In the end, I started to become weary. Have not been sleeping well at all for the past week due to stress. At times I even had nightmare and shouted out in my sleep and woke up to a racing heartbeat. Even my poor Baby was jolted from her slumber by my abnormal behaviour. Commented to Pauline on msn that I'm starting to have insomnia.... =(

I went back to sleep WITH my make-up on and napped till 12 plus before waking up for lunch. Damn lethargic but I need to get my arse out to go town and send my phone for repair. Haizz, it turned out that the Lao-Kok-Kok phone my Dad loan to me was spoilt too... Only can sms, cannot call =(

I went out about 3 plus to Tpy Central to deposit my cheque and paid for my credit card bill, then took a train down to Somerset and headed to Centre Point cuz I thought that the SAMSUNG service centre was situated there. I remembered vividly few years ago bringing my faulty phone there to service but I searched the whole mall and to my dismay, the shop ain't there anymore. Tried calling the Samsung helpline but only to realise my Dad's phone couldn't call out.

Nvm. Then I walked all the way to TANGS to get my moisturizer and eye lotion. Remembered there's a M1 shop at Paragon thus decided to drop by on my way to TANGS and to consult the staff where the servicing centre was. Turned out that I had to travel all the way to PS -__-

After walking all the way from Centre Point to TANGS, I took a train down to PS lor. Was practically stoning cuz I'm so lethargic. Then nvm, I waited patiently for my turn and the staff who assisted me was a Malay lady. Talking to her was damn strenuous cuz she asked me questions like...

"What's your CONDUCK number?"

"Does it HUNG?"

I gotta asked her to repeat and finally told her I dunno what she meant. She tried to explain to me and I had to strain my ears to comprehend her sentences cuz she CANNOT PRONOUNCE THE WORDS PROPERLY LAH! Haiyo, liddat how to be a customer service person?!

What she meant was...

What's my contact number. (I thought she meant some serial number for my phone)

Does my phone hang.

I already informed her all the faults of my phone the moment I sat down. She got listen to me at all not? Haizz. I did not show my displeasure lah, tried to put on a smile cuz I know she's trying her best to help already. Gotta wait for about 5 days before I can collect it. Hope I don't have to wait that long.

Then purchased a set of thermal wear for Mom's upcoming China trip and took train back home. Kept yawning... Was too exhausted to go get my dinner and I simply cooked Maggi Mee when I reached home. Went to bed at 11pm but got up in an hour time cuz my Baby kept scratching on the door. She wanna go out to pee -__-

Dragged my tired and almost cannot make it body to help her open the door and to clear away her urine before concussed again. Then at 2 plus, my phone rang. Sis called and after I answered, the stupid and useless phone died. Quickly got up and rushed to the living room to call her back.

Went to the lavatory after putting down the phone and Dad woke up at that moment. He told me that recently, his room has been infested with mosquitoes and he kena bitten every night. He had no choice but to wrap himself up with his blanket when he sleep. But how was he to know that, the mosquito decided to bite him on his face! It must be due to the sucky weather that's why the mosquitoes breed so fast. It must be due to the sucky weather again that's why my skin feels so dry nowadays and I've been scratching my body non-stop.

I went back to lie down and tried hard to sleep. Sadly, I'm wide awake and no matter how hard I tossed and turned, I couldn't return to slumberland. That's when I decided to come online to blog lor.....

Oh yeah, recalled a funny incident that happened yesterday while I was using the PC. I heard a "POOOT" sound next to me and as I turned to look at my dog, she guiltily walked away. She had just farted next to me lor... KAOZZ. Luckily it didn't stink at all and the "POOOT" did sound rather cute lah. HAHAHA. I began to tease her about it and she only stared at me back with an innocent face. Told bro about it and we had a good laugh. Told Mom about it and when she's hugging Baby to sleep, I overheard her telling my dear one not to fart at night. Haha, so funny can.

Eyes feeling dry and heavy. Could feel headache coming for a visit. Better stop here and try to go back and sleep. Nite all.
