The most popular x'mas presents for ME in 2008

mani x'mas presents

I have no idea why but i received many manicure related products as x'mas presents this year. Is either my friends think that I have pretty hands and want me to make them look prettier or they feel that my hands need maintainence. Haha... I hope it is the former. Hehe... The most of other x'mas presents I received are all beauty related like earrings, necklace, cosmetics and make-up kit. Last year, I received quite a few stuff toys. So it seems that my yearly x'mas presents have a theme on its own. Haha...

Pretty but not nice...

Allow me to introduce 1 pretty cake & 1 pretty drink but dun taste nice...

1) Caramelittle

It looks really cute and it's description makes it looks good too. Caramel mousse with almond nutty sponge cake. U would thought the cake will turn out to be a sweet fragrance cake. But I think even our sugar free sweet is sweeter than the cake. The caramel mousse is no tasteless...the cake is quite hard also. It is not worth to waste your calories on.

2) A coffee which I forgotten its name

It look really pretty with rose petal on top, 3 layers of colours. But it taste like bandung. Unless you are a fan of bandung, you should not try. Even if you are a fan of bandung, it is cheaper to drink bandung than this expensive bandung taste coffee. But it looks really pretty.

x'mas celebration 2007 - epi 1

My first x'mas celebration for 2007

22 Dec, my first x'mas celebration with friends...We tried to have a theme celebration but many cheated. The theme was "x'mas". And guess what, many came in green stating that it's the x'mas colour, while some had x'mas teddy handphone keychain, x'mas sock hadphone pouch, x'mas tag & even tying x'mas ribbon onto the shirt. Haha... The best dressed had to be Ricko & Shuhui who are Onz enough to wear x'mas hats & bring fairy wand. Well, I'm among the click who wore green but I made extra effort by wear brown skirt and white jacket. My explanation for the theme: "I'm the x'mas tree of course, haha..." White is the snow, green is the leaf and brown is...

We had lunch at RSVP at Park Hotel, previously known as Crown Prince Hotel. The buffet was delicious except for the oysters weren't too fresh. I nv tried any of the "fresh oyster" but my frens did. Hee... The lamp chop and beef stew were fantastic. The prawns were fresh. The strawberry pie and creme brulee were good, the strawberry n mango mousse were too sweet. Turkey was abit tough

After lunch, we exchanged presents among ourselves. The most creative present had to be Weiguang's. He kept saying that it is an expensive yet useless present which had our curiousity way up high. It was actually a doll with needles for you to poke to vent your anger. Then after lunch, we went to watch National Treasures, the first movie which we went to watch as a group after knowing each other for 4 and half years. Haha... Lastly, we ended our day with 4-hr KTV session.

At this x'mas celebration, my W910i found the love of his/her life. Haha... Yes, I'm holding a couple phone with Nijun. Hehe...

欣/新 的 gadgets

I know I promise to upload my HK trip pictures, especially the yummy food I ate. But I had something which I am so excited to share with all of you. I burned a big hole in my pocket and got myself new gadgets. Also, i realised I actually displayed the typical woman trait "flickle minded" quite well. I have been saying I wanted to change my phone. I shortlisted so many phones and in the end, the phone I got is nowhere on my list. Haha... Guess what I got? Yes, W910i, haha... a walkman phone. I have considered the Sony Ericsson K cybershot series (K850i & K770i) together with Nokia N series (N95 & N82). In the end, I got a walkman phone. I went into Hello Shop wanted to buy K770i and I walk out with W910i. But the angry thing is I couldn't get the colour I want. All Singtel outlets dun have the red colour W910i. Haiz... So I had to settle for the bronze one...

Then since I didn't managed to get a good camera phone which I initially wanted so I got myself a good digital camera instead. Hehe... This camera has a function which suits me a lot. It has IA mode. What does IA stands for? If you ask Panasonic or the camera salesman, they call it Intelligent Auto mode. But I'll call it the Idiot Assured mode, haha... meaning that camera is idiot proof. I juz need to switch on the cam n take picture. I need not do any settings at all. How wonderful... The cam will do everything for me...yeah! Very suitable for lazy people like me...haha... Save me the trouble of reading the manual. Hee...

All I have to do now is to charge all the batt n they are ready to get into action. :)

My horizontal expansion trip!

I just went to the land of shopping, eating, shopping, eating, shopping, eating, shopping and eating... If you still have no idea where I go then you seldom watch TV rite? I went to HK la. I ate a lot on my 5-day trip. Basically, my trip was eat, eat, eat, eat, shop, play, eat, eat, eat, eat, shop, play, eat, eat, eat... despite I ate so much, there are still a lot of food I haven try. If you are on a gaining weight mission, HK is the place to go. How much weight have I gained? I have no idea and I'm not intending to find out...but I need to start shreding some kgs before I expand too much horizontally. Hee... So those of you who are interested in going gym, exercising, playing badminton, tennis, squash, swimming...start jioing me, k? haha....

You must be thinking where is all the pictures. Wait! They will be uploaded soon. Hee... Good things are worth waiting...especially the pictures of those yummy food.

I hate upgrading! - seriously delayed post

Upgrading done!!
The upgrading in my house is completed quite some time ago. For those who are interested to see what have been done, look down...


Welcome to my new toilets who love to leak...


Next, please come into my new utility room who has become the store room of my house until my mum has sorted out everything and paint the house. I guess all the great plan she has for that room will have to put on hold.


Beside my new toilets and utility room, I also like to introduce you to my new lift who stops at every level and is situation right outside my house. It definitely brings convenience to the families but what makes it unique is its hobby of breaking down. Since launched a few months ago, the number of its breaking down could no longer use my 2 hands to count. Next addition to my family also includes the 70 bucks lock. I can't believe a lock cost 70 bucks!!!

On our own, we also torn off our kitchen cabinets and changed the floor tiles. Maybe the difference in the picture is not obvious but I have never seen my kitchen so empty before. Haha... So I guess my "I hate upgrading!" series can changed to "I hate renovation" series, hee...



Updates to the painting of my house!
Living room: blue > dark green > purple > apple green > white who my mum insist is greyish white
My mum's room: baby yellow > ??
My room: baby yellow always...
My kitchen: baby yellow > let's pray that it wun change colour like my living room, haha...

As you could guess, till date my house is still not fully painted yet. So if your parents want to paint the house themselves instead of getting professionals, ask them to think think think and think again.

I hate upgrading! - Part II

Toilet upgrading - stage 1
Knocked off everything!

Toilet upgrading - stage 2
Add in the cement!

Toilet upgrading - stage 3
Lay the tiles! And there you have it, a new toilet is almost coming my way...



Never did ever looked at the scenary from my room, at least not until my window was torn off. Actually the view is pretty good, it could be better if the new lift is not blocking the way. But in a day time, the window in my room is up again. How different does it look from the previous one? Not much different actually. Except that I have additional glass panel and less 1 metal panel. Come to think of it, changing of window did make a different...lots of dust and lots of cleaning to do lor...hee...

Upgrading diary con't
2 Oct (Tue):
My mum wants to repaint my whole house and is asking me what colour I prefer. So I told her how abt baby yellow? Then she say not nice. So I go on to say baby green? Then she commented "yucks, ugly". So I ask her wat colour she wants then. She immediately say "blue and white" coz it's her lucky colour for the year. Well, my first reaction was, if you already had in mind what colour you want then why bother asking me what colour I prefer?

She is asking for opinion when in fact she has made the decision. The reason for her choice of colour is so weird. Her lucky colour for the year but the year is almost ending...haha...

4 Oct (Thu):
Back on track...my kitchen cabinet is dismantled...gas pipe newly replaced...of coz these mean more money spent. But as long as it can lower my mum stress level...the money is worth it...lesser nagging for me ma...haha...

5 Oct (Fri):

Bathroom accessories shopping time...I guessed all aunties are the same...they like to "kek poh". Since the upgrading started, beside having lots of workers walking in and out of my house, I also have lots of aunties walking in and out of my house "kek-pohing". Some I know them but some I dun and my mum like all other anuties also like to go other people house and kek-poh. So when she was poking her nose into my neighbour house, she saw people getting new bathroom accessories and she also want to buy. It's like the primary school kids mentality. She have, I also want!!! I received a call once my neighbour told her that the place sells cheap bathroom accessories. So I have to call the shop to ask for exact location, rush home straight after work to accompany her to go bathroom accessories shopping only to discover that the stuff in that shop aren't really cheap. So we had to stay on in the shop so that my mum can bargain n argue with the person on how cheap my neighbour got the items, OMG... I dun even mind paying the listed price as once as I can go home and eat my dinner.

6 Oct (Sat):

Hot and long day...that's the day I officially got cut off from internet access coz my mum cut off the internet connection wire...I'll just need to bear with it for abt 1 plus mth n i will go apply n install MIO or whatever internet package I'm getting. And besides new internet connection, I'm looking forward to buying new HP. Yeah Yeah!!! Any good HP to recommend? Hee...
