  • 2 days MC

    Thanks to the accident, i got a 2 days MC from the doctor! :p



    Went to Raffles Hospital for an X-ray, and doctor diagnosed me with “Acute Neck Swan?” Can’t really read the last word, obviously his handwriting is horrible.

    Sigh, many things happened in my family recently.  Oh lord, please shower your blessings upon us and show guidance to those who needs it really badly.

  • A day to remember for the rest of my life

    Now i know why when there’s an accident, the whole road would be clogged up causing serious traffic jam.  Because people DO look, and loads of people were looking at us today on the CTE.  Bby and I had an accident today, on the CTE at about 6.15pm.  It was slightly drizzling and hubby couldn’t E-brake in time.. We saw it coming.. but we couldn’t do anything to stop it, and then.. BANGx! We crashed into the BMW in front of us.  And before we know it, we got hit from the back as well.


    The BMW that was HARDLY damaged.


    State of Hubby’s car.  Well, 90% needa scrap already man.


    The suay guy who knocked into us when it was our fault as we couldn’t stop in time.

    For the people who still visits my blog, you’re in for a treat.  Pls go get your 4Ds.. because i am going to buy!

    Anyway, the BMW guy was damn guai lan.  Like SERIOUS attitude problem.  The minute he got out the car he shouted at hubby.. “DON’T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IS IT!” blah blah blah.  But the good thing is, luckily there were no casualties, *thank god*, and then we exchanged details and left.

    Then about 2 hours later, the BMW guy called trying to “trick” us in sending our car to the workshop he was sending his car to, apparently he said it was his friend’s.  If we repair it together it would be cheaper.  Too ignorant, do you think we would actually do what he says?? FAT HOPE.  We got a toll truck to send our car to IDAC.  Then when we said nope, he carried on saying DO YOU KNOW MY MOTHER-IN-LAW is now vommitting due to the ‘accident’ that we caused earlier.  *TOOT* man.  Pls lor, just now the mother-in-law and the wife were like standing outside the car looking PERFECTLY fine and whispering amongst themselves lor.  Now come and tell us his mother-in-law got problem.  SO hubby told him nicely telling him, ok, pls bring your mother-in-law to the doctor and get a receipt for it, once IDAC has assessed the damages, and we have called the insurance company, our insurance company would take over from there.  THen he freakin guai lan say.. No, I’m going to make a police report.  LIKE WTF!  GO AND MAKE LAH, who scared who.

    Really disheartening to see such fellow singaporeans around.  Trying to get rip us off lor.

    3.5 years Anniversary since Australia Rachel incident.

    Sigh.

  • The blogging feeling is back!

    Wonder if anybody still visits my blog…  If there is, good news for you, cause my blogging mood is back! Well it began with boredom at about 2am this morning that i decided to visit my long-forgotten blog on my iphone.  And when i’m on it, i couldn’t stop reading as each individual posts brought me the memories that was already chucked to one corner of my brain.  Only then i realised how meaningful these posts were to me.

    Updates Updates!!

    I just got back from Taiwan – 11.6.10 – 18.6.10.  A “honeymoon trip” with Hubby!  Yesh.. we have been together for about 4 and a half years now.  It was really a break from work because auditing is really mentally draining, you feel like work is never ending…  The minute you step into office at 9am in the morning.. you work till 8-10pm at night, and when you come home.. you shower, sleep, and the same thing again the next day!  ROAR.. i wonder how long i can tolerate this.

    Anyway… Day 1: Arrival in Taiwan



    I hailed for a cab from my place and headed towards Sengkang to pick hubby up.  Then we proceeded to the airport.  We arrived quite early cause i wanted to do some duty-free shopping. (He promised to get me a new burberry bag for my birthday) And so, we were browsing through the branded shops at the airport.  I saw the one i liked, the black and grey check lowry bag but somehow when i carried it, it kinda looked bulky.  Plus the choices at the airport was limited, so we decided to just look and see.. Maybe Taiwan has better selections.


    The jetstar plane we’re taking to Taiwan.  I must say, the plane journey was torturous.  It’s 4 hour plus in a freakin cramped up seat, with no TV and no food.  I swear to myself, the next time if i’m taking anything more than 3 hours i cannot take budget airlines.  By the time we arrived it was about 7pm local time.  Then we headed straight to our hotel – 明日大饭店 recommended by Joelle which was about 1 hr away from the airport. 


    Dinner at Xi Men Ding.  Look at the orangy thing, that’s O-Lua! Yummy, their oyster omelette came with this special tomato looking sweet sauce.  I was eating fish-ball noodles and hubby with his lu-Rou fan~


    Super long queue!!!


    Cam-Whoring in the room before we sleep…

    Day 2: My birthday

    Hubby planned the itinerary for the day as he said he wanted to give me a surprise.  We woke up pretty late, at about 10+ and only left the hotel at around 11am.  Then we had breakfast around the area before heading the to subway station.


    Our breakfast.

    Then off to Bei Tou we went for my pleasant birthday surprise!  It’s about 30 – 45 min away from the our hotel and we went there to check out the famous for its hot springs.  They have the public ones as well as the private ones but OBVIOUSLY since i’m the princess for the day, we had to go to a private one in the hotel itself.  Plus – i didn’t even bring any swimsuit to begin with, so public is OUT!


    This was taken at Beitou station itself.  The babies looked kinda cute though, climbing all over the place.


    Disadvantages of travelling in pairs. 




    Shots along the way… and me walking into the hot spring hotel. NT 1,350 for 2 hours, quite cheap, room is very nice also.

    After a revitalising hot spring, we headed off to Dan Shui Lao Jie, which was at the end of the subway line. 


    That gu-eee beancurd thing is called <Ah-Ge>, seems very famous in Dan Shui.  Don’t really like the taste though. 

    Weather wasn’t too fantastic, it started off with a small drizzle, then it poured heavier, thus bby and i decided to have a drink at starbucks.

    Taken at the 4th level from starbucks.

    The Emo shots.

    This bloody starbucks sucked.  Because it had so many levels in it.  And because it was raining, it felt like the whole Dan Shui was in it.  So when we entered, Hubby and I founded a seat at the 4th level.  Then one of us had to go all the way down to the counter at level 1 to get our beverages – which was me in the end since i lost, then i had to carry all the drinks up to the 4th level again.  Panting… Other than that, the view was great. Hahahahaha..  After that, we walked along the lao jie and we spotted this:

    Kinda reminded us of Naruto cause “Ninja” mah.  But not cute.

    PS: I will continue to update my Taiwan trip when i’m free wor~! hehe.

  • It has been such a long time I almost forgotten how to log into xanga to access my webblog.  Felt this urge to blog today, felt like i wanted to share my worries and problems to somebody.  Have been thinking alot recently, about what i feel about my job, about my objectives in life and about the people around me.  I met my first obstacle at work.  Being taken out of jobs and finally, getting informed about secondment to the tax department.  I can’t help my question myself am i not performing up to expectations that’s why they are doing this to me?  Then again i went through the appraisals on all the jobs i did from July 08 to now, i don’t agree that i’m at the bottom, because my appraisals tell me i’m doing well.  When the manager asked me whether i am interested in the 4 month secondment to tax department because of their peak period now, i did not give him an answer immediately.  I asked why.  What was their criteria in choosing people?  He assured me it wasn’t based on performance but more of the overall impact if one was to be removed from the engagement, he said for me the impact i would cause is minimal, as the jobs i have in April, May and June are new jobs, not continuity, so they could switch me for somebody else easily.  Furthermore, he showed me the email sent out by the tax department requesting for help in the audit department because 4 people just resigned and they are in need of people.  I wasn’t upset about the transfer, on the contrary, i was feeling excited in going to a new department!  Afterall, i knew that i didn’t want to do audit for a long time, i wanted exposure in different things so i can finally find my interest.  Perhaps God is giving me this chance in trying out tax, to see if i like it or not, and i believe that he has a plan for me, and i will follow his wishes and do my best in whatever challenges ahead.  The only thing i’m worried of is my promotion in July.  Hmm.. but see how ba, wait till the time comes then say lo.  One step at a time, no point worrying now also right?  At the same time, i feel the care and concern from my loved ones, how they were there for me when i needed a listening ear, and when i needed assurance in the decision i made.  There’s like negative sentiments in the entire company now, and all of us are feeling demoralised and disappointed in the new policies they have pertaining to toil, promotion and salary.  The future in this company seems bleak… i hope i have the courage to stay positive… :)

  • Korean dramas have been so popular that they have successfully taken away the lives of all the housewives in Singapore, ok, maybe not all, at least my mother was one of the victims.  Well i must admit i was hooked onto korean dramas at one time but i never watched dramas with more than 30 episodes i swear.  And my mother?  She’s currently watching this never-ending korean drama and i never fail to ask her everytime she watches it, “WHEN is this show going to end huh?  U watch very long already eh!!”  Finally today she told me.. this show has about 80+ episodes – she’s at her #55 episode lah.  *Cheers to her patience man*  So today, i decided to watch it together with her to witness how good a show this is.  Apparantly, the storyline is as usual, female actress very pitiful from young, lost her parents, finally gets married and finds out that her parents are still alive.  Blah blah blah  *trust me, it’s not a happy thing*  Then the jealousy between women, like so many women in the show, but too little men to go around for all of them.  The part i hate most is when the couple go out pak tor lah.. super BTH.. keep smiling at each other like siao one, then a little bit luff, a little bit say sorry, a little bit say thank you.. Piang… see already also super bek chek.  Oh, the most infuriating thing about the show is that they like to replay the same music at the same chorus ALL THE TIME LAH.  It’s ok if the music is nice.. but this damn music is getting on everybody’s nerves, even my mom!  To the extent she mutes it whenever the music comes out.  LOL*  Mabbe i should try to d/l the music and put it on my blog so that everybody can judge for themselves.  But it would be more fun if i were to put it as my mom’s ringtone without her knowing it.  MUAHAHAHA….  *hmm… that’s prob. what i’m gg to do!! LALALALALA*

    Anyway, i woke up with a sprained foot today.  Sob…  I have difficulties in walking now…. :(   Let alone jog.

  • Look at what it did to me



    I was abused by “oh sooooo cute doggie doggie Coco”.  It scratched me real hard with it’s freakin sharp nails.  What was its master thinking by not cutting its nails lah.  I just wanted to fling that whole pet away.  Abit cruel, but look what it did to me!!! 

    Undeniably adorable i must admit, but equally naughty.  Just 2 months old, my cousin bought it for $500 and brought it back a week ago.  Just like the baby of the house now, everybody’s attention was on it – aha!  That’s the problem, Coco knows ok!  Coco knows that *he is the jewel of the house, so he is damn spoilt lah, constantly pounding up against my mom and me and i conclude he is a pervert puppy.  WHY?  Cause he loves to rest on e breasts area.

    Dun get me wrong, i love the dog, just that he has got to be punished for doing such a monstrous act to me. 

    My dad, on the other hand, detests him terribly.  He claims that:

    1.  My cousin was being selfish in bringing a puppy back when he clearly knows my maid is an indonesian = muslim, and it is prohibited to have a dog because they are ‘ritually unclean’.
    2. However my maid is cool about it because she draws her salary from this family.  She has NO CHOICE.
    3. My dad is afraid of eating dinner one day to find that there’s dog hair in his food.
    4. Plus he is afraid that the dog might pass some disease to him.
    5. He hates it when mom and i plays with the dog.
    6. He warns me about the consequences of bringing Coco back to my house.

    My conclusion: He is afraid of dogs.

    and

    I can never keep a dog at home.

  • A new diet plan

    Today officially marks the last day i can indulge in nice food – and i really go all the way out la.  Yummy curry chicken for lunch, followed by chocolates and cheescake for teabreak, finally ending with duckmeat for dinner.  But all this would have to be put on hold, because i am going to follow a one month intensive diet plan drawn out by Hubby.  Here’s a small printscreen of it:

    People who have known me well enough would probably know i do not have enough self-discipline and determination and i give up super easily when it comes to food.  So Hubby added some fineprints at the bottom, one of which i found quite funny.

    “I) If you cheat or dont follow this diet / exercise plan, it means you dont love your hubby anymore.”

    &

    “E) Fruits include apples / oranges / pears / bananas, no durian / mango etc”

    But i like mango!!!  It’s my favourite fruit!  And now i can’t eat it.
    So to be reasonable, i gave myself a limit of one month too see if his diet plan does work out for me.  Let us 拭目以待。  And he is damn smart lah, this plan is only for me.  He can eat whatever he wants and not exercise.  Not fair when he is so fat too!

    So please friends, if we are going out during this one month, please do not tempt me with fatty fried food, because i SUCCUMB to temptations!!  Thank you so much~!~

    AMEN!
