  • Night at Clarke Quay

    I decided to do a post since my hair is still wet so here goes …

    I had a great dinner at clarke quay with YL and WL – basically to celebrate YL’s b’day lah!  It’s so nice to be able to be in Singapore to celebrate all my friends birthdays, esp. the close ones!!  Can’t wait for June to come because there are loads of June babies, including me!  So u guys know what to do ya??

    Anyway we were supposed to meet at 7pm BUT those 2 jokers were LATE!!  I knew it!!!  I should have just gone late but cannot like that right.  And joker #1 was late beacuse HE forgotten to take in the clothes when he was already out lah.  PLSSSS it’s not going to rain when it’s SO HOT lah…  But i forgive you because u were only 30 min late.  Joker #2 somemore later than you when she had nothing to do.  Then again it’s actually ok because i don’t mind waiting for people, but the thing is i was DAMN hungry lah.  And u know, a hungry person is an angry person.  Anyway we had italian food by the river bank but it was DAMN humid lah.  If it was windy it would be great.

  • Bye Bye Love… Bye Bye Extensions…

    The below pictures could be disturbing, but here goes…

    The plan:  Cailin takes out my extensions.

    Before everything started:


    The tools needed: Ikea pliers and Cailin.


    Stage 1:  After about 5 minutes..


    Stage 2: After about 20 minutes..


    Stage 3: After an hour..


    And tada!!


    Back to short hair!  I feel kinda good, first time in a a long long time i can comb all my hair smoothly.  First time i can scratch my scalp like nobody’s business!  But my hair is at the awkward length, YUCKS.  That’s it for now, of course, we have to thank Cailin for taking all the extentions out –> YES! All your effort, arigato!!  *Bows*

  • Home Sweet Home

    The A380 flight from Syd to Sin was great, especially when it’s not full!  I had a full 2 seats to myself to stretch and sleep, awesome! 

    A few comments about A380. 
    1. The seats are a little bigger and there’s a tinny winny bit more leg space.
    2. They provide givenchy pillows and blankets (and i stole one blanket!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA)
    3. The tv screen was big lah, and the entertainment was superb!  So many channels at your disposal.  Can start and pause and rewind anytime u want to.
    4. Food was ok.

    That’s about it.  Kor scolded me for not exploring the plane cause he heard that there are bars we can chill in.  Well i was so hooked onto the movies the only time i left my seat was when i needed to use the toilet.  Managed to catch ‘Mad Money’, ‘Hero’, repeated episodes of Sex and the City (OOOO can’t wait for it to come out on the May 29, who’s watching with me????) and Grey’s Anatomy.  Overall, the plane was pretty stable, unlike what my friends said, and the pilot was good in his landing. 

    Now..  after being inspired by Karn to donate my ‘old’ clothes back in Syd, since i didn’t have space and weight to bring back all my useless stuff, i have decided to clear up my Singapore cupboards.  To my surprise, i found so many clothes i haven’t even seen before, let alone wear them.  What a waste of $$!!!  According to Karn’s theory, if a top cost $10, and u have worn it more than 10 times, it’s about time u can get rid of it!  — that applies to many home clothes lah, but u know, the older the better, nicer to wear!!  And also, clothes that u hardly wear goes!  I def. have loads of them sitting in my cupboard now.  But super heartpain for me to donate everything lah.  I had to apologize to the clothes before i put them into the boxes… sob!!

    Ok.. now a few words to my friends in Syd.

    Karn:  Thanks for everything, and i mean.. everything.. u have been super kind and nice to me this time, the lodging, the car, the dates and the huggies…  Without you my life wouldn’t have been so comfortable when i was there.

    CY:  Miss your nonsense and your effort in trying to explain simple things that the whole world know but i don’t know to me.  Miss your whinings and complaints and how u and Karn never fail to fight the min u guys see each other.

    Renee:  Awww.. what can i say.. Thanks for driving me around like my chauffeur and being my super high clubbing mate.  Of course, not forgetting u’re the cam-whoring freak.  I love the chai dates we go out on and i still think the one along george st has the best chai tea.  Remember to use the cafe book and recipe book i gave u to cook for Billy ok!

    To the others who met up with me.. Catt, Ken, Munyi, Rachel, Fengxi, Stephanie, Andri, Weng Soon, Shira… etc, 10q 10q 10q.

    This officially marks the end of my chapter in Sydney and i’m looking forward to what’s awaiting me ahead.  Cheers to career!

    PS: Hubby i know u’re reading, haha.. sure u angry i never write about u right?  Cause u are not ‘friend’ ma..  u are hubby!! So that section doesn’t involve u.

    GAWD.. i’m going to Cailin’s house later to get rid of my extensions….  SAD!!!!

  • brrrrr…

    It’s really cold in Sydney today.  On the bed with my quilt now but it feels exactly like the times when i switched on my aircon in S’pore… Brrrrrr…  Think tomorrow’s going to rain again. 

    Had a great day today starting off with a shopping spree at Parramatta, which has basically everything under one roof at Westfield Shopping Centre.  With Myer and David Jones, there are many other small boutiques like Bardot, Blue Juice, Glassons, Seduce, Supre, Sportsgirl, Cue, Country Road, etc.  Really good place to shop.  Ratings: 9/10. 

    Anyway, it was really near to get to Parramatta from North Ryde, mere 15 minutes by car.  Still remember the days we had to take bus 545 there lah, whooping 1.5hr lah.. hahaha.. damn it.  Anyway the parking there is really shitty, ok, we were stingy lah, we wanted to park in the shopping centre because first 3 hrs was free, so we rounded here and there the merry go round for about 45 min before we found the entrance in the free parking place.  Haha, so much for penny wise pound foolish.  So by the time we found a lot, we were freakin hungry so we settled for Italian.  Some photos taken when we’re there.  We started taking photos even before we ordered the food but the waitress seemed really impatient so we decided to order first, then continue to snap.  It’s always good to take photos before food comes and before gg shopping because after all those things, we wouldn’t have the mood to take them already.  Here are some of the photos~


    She claims she’s a pro photographer when it comes to taking at a angle.  What dya think?


    Bling Bling~


    Pretty Renee~


    We made the waitress snap this picture of us.  Haha. 

    Btw, i had chai latte… but it was damn bad lah.  Disappointed.  Super into chai stuff recently, totally loving it!  The food was not up to standard we reckon, the risotto and the lasagna tasted the same lah i swear!  But we were damn hungry so anything goes.  Ratings: 4/10

    Then i was supposed to catch ‘Made of Honour’ at Chatswood at 7pm, but at around 5.45pm we were still looking for the car.  The shopping mall was so big we lost the car!! GAWD we were like running up and down the escalators and parking lots lah, finally we found it after 30min.  Damn dumb.  Then i had to make Renee send me all the way to Chatswood to meet up with Karn and Hubby for the movie.  Felt so bad cause she had to drop me all the way there, but luckily i made it!  I reached at 7pm exactly!  Really romantic love show, Patrick Dempsy is damn funny and he’s really charming.  A different side of him aside from Grey’s.  i just loveee his dreamy eyes..

    Gosh i think i’m waking karnni up with all these typing.. shall stop here, till next time, adious!

  • Bloody Hell

    Just as i’m thanking my neighbour for his internet, his network just disappeared from my wireless list.  Shit.  He must have found out somebody has been using his bandwidth to do shitty stuff or he must have felt that his internet is damn slow lah.  And i was so greedy to wanna d/l more stuff.. haha.. that’s why humans must be contented.. cannot be greedy, this is what happens when one is greedy, everything is taken away from u.  Even to connect to vincent’s home network took me about half an hour to configure cause there was an ip clash.  Irritating!!!

    Didn’t go to the strip club today because they all favour men!!!  Bummer.. most of em are female strippers, what’s the fun for us female right?  So we decided to cancel everything and not benefit bby.  Instead, i had japanese for dinner with him and caught ironman which debuts today!  Damn good, PLS go watch it!!!  HAHAHA.. Gwyneth Paltrow damn pretty!  And Robert Downey Jr. very funny!  The armor is really cool and stylo lah can!  What is it with this comics, think hulk 2 is coming out soon also.

    Fish market and bowling this sat!  Looking foward… … …  Mua Sashimiiii….

  • A laidback life indeed.  I have been sleeping 12 hr straights for the past week and i’m feeling good!  I sleep at about 2am in the morning, and wake up 2pm the next day – cutting down one meal of the day, muahahahaha.  In actual fact, i’m just a sleepy freak when it comes to sleeping with my bby, we can actually just lie in bed the entire day lah, which is totally a waste of time. 

    Anyway, i have been tapping into my neighbour’s wireless network because it’s unsecured!  It’s weird because although the speed’s really slow, i still managed to d/l heaps of stuff (tvb series) overnight.  Thank you neighbour, whoever u are, thank you for allowing me to do my downloads and surf the net happily during my stay here (even now i’m still using his internet, hahahaha), because i always get scolded by bby for overdownloading using his internet =_=, and he’s really fierce you know, he’s like, “WHAT!  U d/l 5 gb worth of stuff one night??  Cannot lah baby, this house already got 5 people, u one night d/l so much, everything will slow down.. and it goes on… yada yada yada.”  And after i d/l 5 gb that night, when i tried to log on the next day, they said i have an IP clash with some idiot in the house, so the whole day i couldn’t log onto their net –>  which led me to my neighbour’s net MUAHAHAHAHA.  Ok, i’m feeling damn yaya now la.

    Am going to move again.. but not with bby this time.  His new house doesn’t allow him to inhabit visitors and family members.  (THAT IS WRITTEN IN ONE OF THE TERMS in the bloody tenancy contract lah!), so i’m gg to bunk with CY.  So sad lah.. esp. in the cold harsh weather.. nobody to cuddle with at night.. nobody to snuggle snuggle.. no dhats dhats, no stories.. Sigh…, and not forgetting i have to share another bed with another guy… (it isn’t what u think it is), makes me wanna go home earlier. 

    Sidetracking abit, i’m going to a strip club tonight!  According to my cheeky cousin, she said we could get in for $10 (if we bargain)..  she say must act act a bit.. act like we not gian, then the person will call us back, and let us in for the price we want.  Then again, strip only mah… nothing much, i strip everyday when i shower.. lol*  I’m dragging bby with us because i said.. u dun wan us 2 girls in that messy area right?  What if something happens.. then he’s like, okok i’ll go!  Although we are going to see guys strip.  HAHAHAHA.

    Ok, gg to go dry the clothes.  Everybody be good in the meantime.  Tata!

    PS: BTW, i got $150 from the govt, i think..  Since they never state who transfer over also..  Happy`!~

  • My graduation ceremony!

    I’m back in Sydney!  For my convocation!  And i’ll be uploading the photos to those who have been waiting for them, here goes, *jang jang*
    Anyway, my convo was at 2pm in the afternoon, when i kept thinking it was 3pm.  Luckily bby checked it for me once again or else i would have missed the entire thing.  Sotong me.  It was raining in Sydney for almost the entire week, even on the road to Mac uni.  But once the ceremony began, the rain stopped all the way till i got back onto the car towards home.  Aren’t i lucky, or else it would be an ugly sight while taking photos. 


    This is Mac Uni’s Vice Chancellor – Not a very clear photo taken.


    Individual: Gawd.. my face super round like pancake…

    Well.. the thing was, i actually curled my hair before i went for the graduation.  But everytime was so rushed lah, if u noticed, my hair was almost straight when the end of the whole ceremony.  So sad lah.

    From left:  Tua Ee, Mommy, Me and my A$120,000 Bachelor of Accountancy cert and Daddy.


    Poor hubby, he was practically the bag holder cum camera man the entire day.  Thank u!!


    This photo is super funny lah.  Because that day there were professional photographers stand-bying at the campus, so they offered to take photos for everybody and they would post it online.  If we wanted it we could order them online.  So it turned out that all of us weren’t looking at my own camera!  And for this photo the photographer made us say ‘YEAH’ lah.. duh~


    The entire gin gang.  Thanks for all the flowers and pressies! 

    Esp. to Fengxi, thanks for turning up when i forgotten to inform u of the time.  U actually still came with a big bouquet of flowers, thank you so much!!!


    Mom and the matching flowers.  Her cheong sum damn chio right?  She specially had it tailor made for my convocation.  Apparantly premium thai silk. XX leh.

    Will blog again soon when i’m free, in the meantime, enjoy these photos!  Cheers.

    PS: i will return on May 13.

    Love,
    Joyce

  • Family Day

    Being family day today, kor suggested we go to the tree top walk.  Haven’t heard of it before, but according to him, it’s supposed to be quite a nice walking path.  Anyway, the entrance to the tree top walk is at Upper Thomson.  But u know upper thomson is damn long can, we ended up at the wrong entrance and landed ourselves in Pierce Reservoir instead.  Nonetheless, we had a great time walking and my greatest joy was seeing the little monkeys playing around.  *by the way, if u feed the monkeys – you’ll get fined S$500.  HAHAHA*

    Monkeys!

    After which i met up with Lokes, my ex-brek colleague.  It’s a wonder how we could click so well even after leaving brek for such a long time.  About three years now, but i believe friendship is a really amazing thing, doesn’t matter how often or not you see each other, once u click, it lasts forever.  Anyway, really glad u came back for holiday this time round, pls take good care of yourself when u return to London.  Cheers!

    Lokes and Me 2

    She’s a mother of 2 already lo!!  Dun look it right?  Sexy mama!  So slim somemore~!~ Jealousssss

    By the way, now i know why my complexion is getting from bad to worse.  That’s because i’m not zzz when it’s like 2.17am now.  Plus ah joy is not drinking enuf H2O!!  Now my lips are cracking like mad.
