Stress, De-stress, Work, Play

Work has been quite busy for me the past few weeks. BUSY plus STRESSFUL.

I know I can handle it and will always mange to do it eventually but I really cannot stand the grueling process. There was this week when the work was so overwhelming that I could not see half my table. I had to come back on my 2 off days just to complete them.

When I do fall asleep, I have very weird dreams. And for the 2nd time, I dreamt that Simba died. In both dreams, I was crying and screaming like mad and my voice just disappeared.

Amidst the pressure, I was quite surprised that I hadn’t lost myself and vented my anger on my family members and on kh.

I was quite surprised that I haven’t cried to de-stress coz crying always makes me feel better.

I was quite surprised and thought that I had grown stronger. (I’m actually someone who tears and cries easily)

With all the extra commitments from being in charge of kindergarten curriculum and opening a new class which required preparation of materials, I would just have to endure till last Saturday and most of the major stress would be alleviated and I needn’t have to cry. That day happened to be the last day of June and I thought of going crazy doing last minute shopping before the GST hike. I even reminded kh that I needed to de-stress after work that day and warned him not to restrain me. He was such a sweet boy the whole evening, accompanying me to shop with nary a hint of complaint and even offered constructive suggestions when asked.

Then, just an innocent remark over MacDonald’s breakfast broke the fuse. He asked me not to read my magazine at the same time and to finish up my food quickly.

The next moment, the tears flowed down my cheeks uncontrollably and my nose just went all runny. Yes, in public.

In between sobs, I just let it all out. “Do you know that I’ve been really stress at work? I eat in front of my computer and only take a break to go to the toilet. Can’t I just sit down and eat my breakfast slowly and read my magazine?”

I dunno what else shot out from my mouth but kh thought that my reaction to such a small remark was downright ridiculous. He understood the stress I was going through at work but he thought that his words didn’t warrant such a huge and ludicrous reaction. Also, he actually meant for me to finish my breakfast quickly so that I could go home and take a really good rest.

Misinterpreting his intention and visibly upset by the fact that he made me cry in public, I could not see it in that way of course. All I felt was that he was restraining me from relaxing myself and I was seething with rage.

After I got home and cried myself silly, I began to see things more clearly and realised that I had just released what was bottling up inside all along. I was not as strong as I thought I could be. SIGH… in the end still must cry.

For now, things are beginning to look brighter. The co just hired a full-time staff to help me out for the time being. Even though, it’s only for the time being, she is quite efficient and she did lighten my workload quite a fair bit. See, now I can blog long long and with photos some more.

Touched

Touched by this little gift from my favourite P2 boy…


No student has ever given me gifts after returning from a holiday and I feel all the more happy and touched coz it’s from my favourite boy. I wouldn't in the right state of mind think of buying things for my teacher is I were to go on a holiday. Oh and I just found out that his birthday is one day after mine! Such a coincidence. I hope he remains and doesn't withdraw.

My tutees got these from HK. [Click to enlarge]



Such a practical gift. It’s a gold medal winner red pen with revolutionary design. The little tortoise handphone accessory is from his sister. Remember my cutecute C? Now I’m also teaching his P1 sister. They’re just so cute sometimes la. Naughty and cheeky at times but very cute.

Lelong lelong day at HH

Last Wednesday, the hh babes gathered for another “Exchange Your Clothes Day”. The event was proudly organized by my. It was good that my cousin postponed the tuition that day, leaving me with only 1 tuition session and a whole lot of time to do what I wanna do OTHER THAN WORK. I purposely forced work outta my mind that day.

Being overambitious, I planned lotsa stuff on my imaginary itinerary that day:
1. To visit a dentist after procrastinating for the past 11 years and after my wisdom tooth gave me problems
2. To thread my eyebrows
3. To do manicure and pedicure
4. To upgrade my sim card
5. To clear my wardrobe and meet the hh babes.

Maybe I could even shop at TPY and go for facial (the bioskin people haven’t seen me for a year since my 2nd session).

Alas, all I could accomplish was the clothes exchange. Oh well, the rest could be put on hold. My teeth aren’t painful for now, my eyebrows aren’t that thick for ticks to frolick in, my nails are painted haphazardly in an ugly shade by myself. Yes, these could wait.

I was so thrilled to be able to clear some wardrobe space yet again. I don’t mind not exchanging as long as I could give my clothes away. I would rather exchange and give my clothes to my friends than to have yahoo auction people haggling for prices of my clothes when they are already priced so reasonably and at times so cheaply.

We started introducing and “advertising” for our clothes, which is so hilarious cos they are all gonna be free anyway. It was really like a “lai ah lai ah” kinda flea market.

We were all frantically trying to give away our clothes. It was so fun trying to see which clothes suits whose style and holler together “Oh that’s so XXX’s style!” “You should really take this, it’s so you.”

Lelong Lelong


Trying out some clothes…

Before changing

I actually wanted to include this top in the clothes exchange but I tried it on again and changed my mind. I even took it off my auction. Luckily nobody bidded for it.

my’s bubble dress

It’s cute, it makes me look like a present but I can’t forsee myself wearing this dress on any occasion. Had to give it a miss.

Some T-shirts…

I think wy looks damn cute popping her head in the background.


I love the bright yellow scribble-drawing Beatles Tee. The drawing looks so amateurishly ugly but so quirky and unique.

We are just trying to take a good shot of the visitor and the visited. In case, you’re wondering, I’m flaunting my visitor’s pass. Haha so tacky to have a visitor’s pass.

Finally wy sported a different and much shorter hairdo, is not wearing the same sports shoes and not carrying the same white bag. She always laments that she is still the same in everything. Love her heels! I feel so short and stumpy in my birkies. my can really capture good candid shots. I don’t even recall doing those actions but doesn’t wy look so sweet in the 3rd picture?

Fwah fwah… Big metro bag.


Dear wy,
I didn't talk to wy much during the wedding dinner so it was really great that we could talk more that day. I was really happy to see you. I saved your sms! It's so heartwarming.

Oops I just realised picasa cut off wy’s heels. Here goes…


It's so good how everyone isn't selfish when it comes to exchanging, giving and receiving clothes. We do not even bother who is getting more, who is getting less, who is getting brand new with tags clothes or worn clothes, expensive clothes or cheap clothes. There were so many good clothes which fitted nobody. Such a waste! While some were carted to The Salvation Army, those with potential are up on my auction for $1 Clearance Sale.

Before: My huge paper bag was tightly-packed, squeezed out of any unwanted air and filled to the brim.

After: It was slightly less than half full with loosely packed clothes.


It felt so good to come home with a lighter bag!

Even though I feel kinda stress not doing any work that Wednesday, I was glad to be able to exchange some clothes and meet up with the hh people again. So happy to see "auntie" too. The few times I went back, auntie wasn't around. She still remembers me and even asks if I still suffers from headache as often. She is one of those who is always so concern about the teachers, sometimes buying snacks for us when she doesn't even earn much. Such a nice auntie!

Simba’s visit to the vet

Simba had lots of scabs and wounds all over her and she was getting really thin so my 2nd sis brought her to a vet. Damn that on a fine Sunday morning when I was having my tuition, the vet had to be good-looking. I’m so gonna bring baba to the vet the next round.

Anyway, it turned out that baba had mites. My sister thought there was something more serious than some minute mites and reminded the vet that she has really lost a lot of weight. The vet replied, “Yes, senior cat will definitely lose some weight…” He paused, looked at the weighing scale and continued, “But it’s ok to lose some weight coz she is already fat.”

Wahahahaha… For the whole day, we just pointed at Simba and said “You’re fat.”

We threw her collar away and she became a domestic hazard. She is those kind who would suddenly dash in font of us or walk between our legs and without the bell, there was no warning of when she would dash into our way. Really very dangerous.

Simba's medicine


Q: How many people does it take to feed a Simba her medicine?

A: 4. One to push the plunger, one to hold her down, one to hold on to her paws and one to open her mouth. It would have been 5 if only I was around to film the whole process. Luckily that was only on the first day.

Night shots of Simba under dim orange lighting using my Z5.

One of Simba's unique features: 1 black paw and 1 white paw

See baba so pretty, got eyelash.


Beady eyes peeking between her black and white paws.

Looking surprised...


Looking like an idiot with her head cocked to one side…


Fatfat being forced by my dad to stare at the arowana.

Check out my sis's reflection in the tank. Ugly baby top. I wonder why she and the aussies like it so much.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I love my super chio Z5...

coz it is the only digi cam that is able to capture Simba's Big eyes w/o flash. Flash makes her eyes very ugly. So far, all cameras weren't able to capture her big eyes under low light. And the best thing is, I don't even have to switch to night mode! It was on auto mode and it automatically balanced the lighting itself. The background lighting is actually that kinda dim orange light but from the pic, you can’t really tell right?

Can’t believe that I didn’t even know such a good fashionista camera exists until one fine day, I saw it, thought it looked like the pink Sony T20 and decided to do some research on it. It turned out that many camera enthusiasts agreed that it is a really good point and shoot fashionista camera.

Those who asked me about the Z5, this is all I could say for the moment as I've not really played around with it yet. Oh one more chio factor would be the Z5 words at the front of the camera would illuminate when the shutter button is pressed. Such a headturner! Enuff to make wy and my go "WAH!"


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

All I bought on the last day of June was this magazine...



I felt like it could nourish my soul for months. My mother scolded me for not buying more before the GST hike. Very funny mother I have. Well, at least the mag had a 20% off at Kinokuniya.

Raine and Ronald’s Wedding

The wedding was held on 16 June 2007 at Shangri La. The color theme was black and red with the décor tastefully done.. It looked like a fusion of modern with Chinese and was remarkably elegant. The ballroom décor reminded me of one of the rooms which I liked and found unique at the wedding fair last year.



Disclaimer: Photos taken from raine’s photographer’s online album. Raine, let me know if there are any copyrights issues.

The wedding favour consisted of classy-red rose petal bath soaps and L-O-V-E wine charms for alternate guests. Damn me for choosing the seat with rose petal bath soaps! (I’m sure all the other rose-petal-bath-soap-guests had the same sentiments too.) That was the first time I saw all wedding favours being wiped clean from the table. Why, of course all snapped up la! They are not one of those pink and blue salt and pepper shakers lying idly somewhere in the corner of everyone’s house… next to ten other pairs of pinkies hugging blueies.


My favourite traditional Chinese character is “ai”. What is life without love? Check out the card, it looks so “new age cheena”. And aww… the wine charms had their bottoms sliced off by picasa.

Looking at the wedding favour shots and comparing with photos taken from other cameras, I realised that my old fuji cam, which I always complain about, could really capture great colours. I just like to complain that it is lousy just coz of the dark screen. No wonder all camera enthusiasts who deem fuji good all cannot stand me,

Raine looked so gorgeous that night. I especially love her in the stunning ethnic green dress, she looked just like a mermaid. Love the shade of green and how it flatters the figure. She was damn sweet lor. She totally serenaded her hubby with a song she wrote. I never hear her sing before, except those [insert ex company’s name] greeting and Japanese and children’s song whereby you act cute and sing like a kid. Ronald is also very sweet. Even though I don’t know him personally, I have a very good impression of him. He is such a humorous guy and a “sweet talker”, in every positive aspect of that label.

The sweet couple RR




Seranading…




Hey babe, when will little R come? When the time comes, you all can be the 3Rs family. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle… Hahaha.. ok not funny. I’m like a non-practising Christian but may the Lord bless the both of you with love and joy always. =)

RR’s wedding also brought about the reunion of many Shi babes –HH branch, SP branch, TG branch- (BTW, Shi is the short form of ex co’s name.) I was really happy to see so many ex colleagues that night. No matter whether outta the co or still in the co, we always have so much in common to talk about. It was great fun reminiscing the good old days too. I didn’t manage to talk much to the TG and SP people at the other table. Aiya… “1 year old team da jie”… we only talked for a brief moment!!! Sobz… Why your blog no updates wan?

I finally saw my mentor after more than a year. All those times I went back hh, I din manage to catch her at all. I sure miss her a lot to even dream of her. Although I can’t say for sure that the feeling is mutual.

After I wrote about her, she did the same on her blog (which I only found out after quite some time) and I was touched by some things she wrote coz yeah, I didn’t know that she feels this way. Anyway, her blog is private so I’ll have to paste that entry here:

I think it's my turn to write about this person who thought about me suddenly.
I am not sure why she seems somehow different to me than the rest, and I thought it is because:
(1) We are both IJ girls
(2) We both like Ambercombie and Fitch
(3) She looks like a baby finger while I look like a thumb on a hand
(4) We enjoy "suaning" each other for no reason.
(5) We love taking photos.
On the other hand, I thought maybe it is also because:
(1) She was my first "mentee" to mentor
(2) She helped me with my ever first and embarassing magic show
(3) I cannot understand how she can be so skinny even though she eats so much.
(4) She tells me everything about herself.
(5) She can blog so much about herself
(6) I always wonder how come this girl is so vain
(7) She is never afraid of herself.
In fact, I like to see her at work a lot because there is always something for me to say about her to her. I will make talk of her coloured hair, her big balls around her neck when that kind if necklace was in fashion, her students, her boyfriend, her private affairs and happenings with her tuition kids, and I seem to care more for her than any other staff when she had her headaches and vomitting spells (as though she is pregnant). I think I treat like my "xiao mei mei".
I remembered there was one time she asked me this: "
Why do you talk like that???

Me (In order to irritate her):
"Because I am an 'ah lien'"
And guess what she said???
"Ah lien? Not ah beng?"
SO there I was keeping silent for a looooong time...........what was that supposed to mean ah?
This conversation took place about 2 years ago. I guess at that time, I was bloated like a blowfish that makes me look like a hulk and a half boy and girl.
A pity this "xiao mei mei" have not get to see me "toned" down.
But anyways, I am still the same person I was. If you want to look for someone who can talk to you till your tears come pouring down like storm since you probably never cry for so long, come and talk to me, and I will entertain you till you do not need to see any Korean dramas to make you melt.
I think after reading this, this person gonna say:" aiyoh, why is this person so thickskin ah?"
By the way, now we know that she is skinny. But if you notice in my old blog, she is none other known as "eateateat".

I finally got to see how “toned” down you are liao!!!!!!!!!!! Haha no offence about the Ah Beng thing. Nohing about being bloated and a hulk la. I said that coz you looked so spunky in your short hair last time. Ah lian no spunky spunky wan wor. So no choice, must be Ah Beng lor. You still talk the same way and words can't describe the way you speak Mandarin... even I have to stop laughing at myself to laugh at you.

Mentor-Mentee shot 2007. To think it’s possible.


HH babes are just so crazy… I love all of you manz! And only that night then I discovered that almost all of you still read my blog. It’s damn funny the way I realised it lor… Don’t mention ems, hs and wy coz I know you babes always read and always offer your words of encouragement; your care and concern over msn and sms. Then, one by one the confession came. The ultimate one was when sd suddenly blurted out, “So you’ve decided which bag to get?” (referring to my latest coach entry at that time) I was really speechless. How come you all can just read silently wan? Whack you all ah! Eh continue the Multiply tradition leh. Love to look at photos! And all of you were really so sweet to try your best in posting up the photos asap. *HugZ*

I think we were really damn crazy lor, even sang the Shi greeting song and some other songs together.

Then the real crazy moments came up when we decided to take wacky shots. I swear it was really a spur of the moment kinda thing. We were so crazy that even the professional photographer and video cam man came to our table to snap and film us. They were like “Wah, first time see people take photo like that.”

We played Simon says…

Stick out your tongue


Pull your hair


Cover your mouth


Now our side…

Listening intently, awaiting for commands


Squeeze your face


Suck your thumb

I dunno why I sucked my finger.

Pinch your nose


Act like a T-rex which had just been tickled

How the heck does a T-Rex act when it's tickled? Command was given by my.

my really gave very weird commands that night. When she said, “Simon says do push ups”, I was the only one who pretended to push up my boobs, the rest did commando style push ups action. Nobody understood my!!!! Haha my said we’re in the same league. I can’t find a photo of that! I think you all only managed to capture the seconds after that when we were all laughing like crazy.

Squeeze your pimple

Command must be from my again.

Act crazy


Table shots with RR



Some group shots…






btw, this photo is trying to depict push up boobs and push up butts.




We may kiss the bride


I know some of you are waiting to read about that night's happening. Thanx to everyone who uploaded the photos on Multiply so promptly. Thanx to all those who acceded to my request to trf the photos when I managed to catch you on MSN. I'm so glad to have gotten the photos from all the different cameras. I still chuckle when I think of all of you carrying lumix. The pioneer of lumix holder in this group has resigned to her unfortunate fate. You all can be spokespersons for Panasonic liao.

Yet more updates and photo blogging to come... The insomniac me is feeling sleepy so must faster sleep! Nitez nitez for now.

Little Meez Bimbo

Greetings from my alter ego -- Little Meez Bimbo!


Wahaha... I did this instead of my marking when I'm suffering fom insomnia.

There isn't a hairstyle that's quite similar to mine so I chose this one. This is how I would cut my hair if I were to cut it much shorter. The short dress, the brown boots, the huge accessories, the bimbotic actions while flaunting a pristine white (Chanel... I WISH) bag. Ah kwan says the little meez doll really reminds him of me.

I love me so much... Sorry I mean my Little MEez Bimbo.

Oh yes... dear frenz, please send me an sms with your name. I've lost many contacts. Thanx a lot! I hope this would be the last time I lose contacts. ;P

Will be back for photo blogging soon!

Watch this space.


Loving my z5,
Jo

Random

Random ramblings

I wish I could throw all work aside and go for a break. However, before I could even throw any work aside, more work was thrown at me.

I’m already struggling to finish my primary English materials, now that cyn has left the co to pursue her dreams, I’m left to take over her kindergarten materials.

How to handle all the tasks at once? I’m not sure. I’m handling quite fine for now but as the weeks go on, I can’t say for sure. I’m able to manage fine now cos I’ve sacrificed…

SLEEP
3-6 hours of sleep every night. I can’t sleep in peace too. I must go to bed only when I’m very exhausted before I can sleep well. Because of the lack of quality sleep, I feel really lethargic in the day.

TV time
For someone who doesn’t watch much TV, I’ve stopped watching the only drama serial I catch every week – Heroes On Starworld -- for the past 3 weeks. Now, I can’t catch the plot.

Shopping
It’s the Great Singapore Sale period and I only shopped for 1 day for the whole of June. Even on days when I met kh, it would just be dinner. By the time we finished eating, most shops had closed. I must buy all the things I wanna buy before the GST hike in July. Cannot procrastinate anymore. Time… I need time. Can I buy time?

Family and Friends
I behave like a complete toot to my family. I’ll be sitting at the table and marking my worksheets. Whoever who talks to me will be greeted with my dazed look and a nod of head to acknowledge their presence. Don’t expect me to be listening to whatever they are saying coz by then, I would have switched to auto pilot and mark mark mark. Nobody at home really bothers me as talking to Simba would elicit more human response than talking to me.

Meeting with friends who have not met up for months and even years haven been pushed back till the cows came home, went out to the fields to graze and came home again.

Surfing and blogging
I log on only to check my mails. Oh and also Yahoo auctions. Hehz… That’s a bit of a life for a no lifer like me. I need to blog to relieve some inner stress. It’s therapeutic. But now, I can’t find the time to blog coz whatever free time was used to do my work. However, I will try as much as possible to update myself on my friends by reading their blogs.

Being myself
I think I’m losing a little of myself bit by bit. But I still behave like a bimbo.

For now, whenever it seems like all is wearying, I’ll just tell myself… Hey! There are people out there who are much worse… Working from Monday to Sunday… reporting for work at 8am and not leaving the office till 3am. There are people out there who are much worse… getting even lesser sleep every night and having no time to even switch on the tv. There are people out there who are much worse… don’t have any family to bother them with and don’t have any friends to keep. There are people out there who are much worse… for they do not even know themselves, much less lose themselves.

I would also try to appreciate simple pleasures in life (like how I finally had the luxury to catch SHREK 3 after A MONTH since its release). Only then, I would find that my life isn’t all that bad after all.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Anyone has more information on brain scan?

My headache and vomitting spells have gotten worse. It used to be only headache and feeling nauseous but now, the pain is so bad that Panadol Extra cant cure it and I do not even down Panadol frequently to get immuned to it. The nausea has been replaced by actual puking. Happened 4 times within a period of one month. Recently when I visited a relief doctor, he asked, "Have you ever thought of going for those scans? I was shocked coz my family doctor and the doctor downstairs always allude these to stress, lack of sleep etc. I need more 1st hand information on these scans. Thanx in advance! =)

Wicked!


--> Are you right brain or left brain? Try this!

First, identify yourself as right or left brain person:

1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying.
Look at your hands. If you see

Left thumb is below the right thumb ---> left brain
Right thumb is below the left thumb ---> right brain

2. Fold your arms in front of you (as if you are angry)

Right arm above left arm ---> left brain
Left arm above right arm ---> right brain

Based on 1+2 (order important), below is the interpretation of your
personality:

Right-Left
Considerate, traditional, indirect type

can instinctively read other's emotion, and respond friendly by natures.
Although not very into taking initiatives in moving forward, but this
person
will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and
considerate, give others a being protected feeling. But the weakness is
they cannot say no;
regardless how unwilling they are, they will take care
of others.

Right-Right
Loves challenges type

Straightforward. Once they decided on one thing, will take action right
away. Very curious, and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without
thinking through (sometimes foolishly). Their weakness is they don't
listen
to others, will filter in only what whey want to hear in a conversation,
and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude,
they tend to be fairly popular.

Left-Left
Dedicated, cold, perfectionist

Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat (or win over) him/her
is through reasons. Has a lot of prides, and feeling strongly about doing
the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy.
However, if they are your opponents, they will be very tough to deal with.
Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist, they usually leave a
bad impression of
being hard to deal with when first met.

Left-Right
Likes to take care of others, leader type

Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet
still can be considerate in others needs. Because of their cool and calm
nature, and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a
group. Popular among people. However, they may not be able to help
themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much.
Very concerned about how others view them, and always on alert.

I'm a right-left. Which one are you?


I was reading dawyang.com the other day and found out that she’s got the same lappie as me!



I have to agree that it is such a beauty indeed. Love how the speakers are integrated all around the buttons... Love the cool blue lights... Love the touch scroll volume... I love the size. Even though it is not considered small, I find that it looks compact and handy. Hahaha… So clever of kh to cheat this laptop from his bro. The pictures cetainly don't do justice to the beauty of this laptop. This is one laptop which will make me forget about the...

Pink Asus Leather Notebook series.

Oh and damn that smile. She seems to be smirking because she has like the cutest notebook on this planet.

Can lv, my, sd, rei (anyone else) upload yours please? Arigatoo gozaimasu!

*Smooches and hugz and puss-in-boots eyes*

Hello? May I know who is this? I sent my hp for servicing and lost all contacts

I hate it. It’s just like a déjà vu. I remembered assuring that I would not ask the “May I know who is this?” question ever again when you all sms. It seems like I have to take back my words.

Hello gal! I didn’t know you’re still reading. Heh… Of coz no offence la. I know I’ve wasted money to rebond but to achieve that curls in the picture, I do not even have to style it. That’s a major plus point. However, now my curls are getting straight again. How I hate my hair.

sherin
Wooh… pay day. Haha you sounded like you were going “window shopping”. Open and close windows. Yes, it’s good to reward yourself especially since you know you’ve worked hard. I’m so gonna reward myself too. We better reward ourselves before the GST hikes. Good excuse to spend $$!

Canny
Wahaha… For a moment there, I thought you were asking me in Hokkien “Ho bo?” I was wondering why Canny speak like Ah Beng Ah Lian. I reread again and realised you were talking about the coach hobo bag. Wahaha… Yup yup… time to update… everyone’s been telling me that. *Hehz*

xtina
Yo bz gal is finally here reading ultra back dated entries. I’ll write a longer reply in the comments section where you left your mark in a while ya?


I'm so bo liao to do this.

Your Blog Should Be Yellow

You're a cheerful, upbeat blogger who tends to make everyone laugh. You are a great storyteller, and the first to post the latest funny link. You're also friendly and welcoming to everyone who comments on your blog.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

Yellow? Hmm is sandy colour considered yellow?

I’m left with only 1 more P2 composition to mark. But I’m like so so so lazy that I decided to just leave it for later. But, I’m feeling sleepy now. Oh what the heck. I'll just go and sleep. It'll be an early day tomorrow, I mean later.

Which bag to bag? I'm getting carried away.

A few days ago, I met Sam, my friend cum financial advisor and she really is EVIL!

“I’m going to the States! Is there anything I can get for you?”

“Abercrombie! But maybe not,” I stopped short.

Although tempted, my angel reasoned with my devil that I could get it cheaper here and not to forget that my tutee’s mum might give me free A&F stuff every now and then.

Oblivious of my inner struggles, Sam continued, “I’ve got a list of orders from COACH. Why don’t you go home and surf coach.com and let me know again?”

Surf coach.com I did. I went home with fingers willing my mind and went click click click.

Their patchwork designs greeted me once I clicked “handbags” and my heart went fluttering at the sight of all the pretty lovelies.

Love this patchwork satchel but the “$458” lying innocuously under crossed it out of my list immediately. And that isn’t even in Yusof dollars!



Focus, focus. I’m looking out for either a casual hobo bag or a pouch-like mini bag (not as mini as my current demi pouch) which is formal enough for functions.

Ever since I’ve changed my hp and switched back to using my old camera, these could not fit into my demi pouch anymore, together with my sms line and wallet of course.

I either need to buy a bigger handbag to accommodate all my knick knacks or buy a slimmer camera. Maybe I could just do both. *winks*

These are what I’ve short listed: the more affordable ones.

Which little devil should I choose? I sort of like the 1st one most. Reminds me of a cow which produces cocolate milk.


Or should I get a hobo bag?

Absolutely love their multi-colour hamptons weekend. So colourful and cheery but the brown classic seems to be a more sound choice.

Should I choose both a small handbag and a hobo? But then again, Sam said no guarantees. I hope that whatever I want would be sold out and I can use the money and top up loads more to buy these…





LV is getting more and more common, but I like these timeless classics.

I must not get carried away. I asked kh for opinions and he said he is fine with anything as long as I don't let him know how much I will be spending. Such constructive comments.

Have you ever heard of rebonded curls?

Anyway, look at what my rebonded hair has become. The day I decided not to blow dry my broom hair straight, I got this...


Nowadays, whenever people ask, “I thought you rebonded your hair?”

I would reply with, “I THOUGHT I rebonded my hair!”

Any of you with perming and rebonding experience reading this, can share your views please?

I’ve asked people around me with permed and subsequently rebonded hair if it is normal for rebonded hair to curl due to previous perming and they all said “no”. They could not figure out what had happened but all said that my curls were nice because they look so natural. I’m beginning to like this style but hey, I've spent $$ on getting my hair straight ok? Something has to be done! I'll definitely NOT go for another rebonding.
