*sob* *sob*

i lOve bali...

gOsh so embarassing...i was wearing de "i love bali" white tshirt and shopping in orchard taka today when i saw another guy wearing exactly de same shirt, but in black! we bOth look so paisei...and our frens kept giggling beside us as we walked past each other... *shucks*

(gOsh lucky hes not old old de...think hes as young and sunny as me haha!)

& joanne peh definitely looks prettier & skinner in persOn! saw her at orchard cine yesterday & wisma today...she's wif an ang moh...and ya dey do attract quite abit of attentiOn (>_<)

i have an impOrtant missiOn tomorrow! pray hard for me!

skin is in nOw!

even we gals can't take our eyes off dem...what say de guys?

itz deCember!!

deCember has been my favourite mOnth of de year as everyone is holiday mooding!! ARE YOU? YOU SHOULD. TAKE A BREAK. TREAT YOURSELF NICE. REST AND RELAX. =)

feels good to having a new envirOnment, having a freSh perspective on life... mOving on (for de betta i pray & hope!)

itz 14 days to X'MAS party!!

how i wish itz really x'mas all year round!!

if you are thinking of decorating your home for de new year, here's two designs i reco:

i have been collecting beautiful zOcards since uni days hoping to decOrate my wall with a movie or colour theme..

de gOthic armchair is simply lOvely!

it would be nice to have a frOggy greet me every morning and night when i brush and shower... with daily toilet visit(s), i bet it smells too haha!

loved de idea de rolls are placed below de basin... so handy

de toilet makes one feel so fresh ya?!

2008 has not been a good year for de wOrld, and for me personally.. hard to believe i am actually stepping in de "New Great Depression".. wonder if i should be proud to be in this historic crisis??

really really hOping for a smooth and heartwarming 2009... no new year resolutions (never had).. will be thankful if every of my loved ones can stay healthy and happy whole year round...and that includes you =)

help!!!...

...i wanna revamp my closet!

de pre-xmas sale at our orchard shopping malls isn't promising to date... hope post-xmas will be betta! (usually dey do)

i really regretted sucumbing to packing with de ugly LC aunties at de JB custOms yesterday for almost an hour (left my home at 10am reach city square at 2pm)...i told myself never ever to enter m'sia on a weekend (unless someone drives) from now on!! thought i learnt this lessOn many years back haiz.. fren pls remind me if i ever fOrgot again

f*ck de m****ys and aunties who just kept pushing and pushing! (omg majority were holding red passports like mine somemore) they should all be terminated for a better tomorrow... bang bang bang!!

come on de whole waiting area should be queue-barricaded and air-conditioned!! phew a few times i was practically gasping for air, jam-packed in a maze of sweaty, pushy, ugly beings around me (my height doesnt help obviously).. and de speed of clearance was simply too awesOme for words...

luckily there were still cultured ones albeit only a handful... dey made my day seem alot nicer... halehluya!

and of cos a muscle relaxing thai traditional massage at thai odyssey, city square at de end of de day was a comforting trade-off (located inside thai village, innercity, level3, RG$83 for 90mins)...depending on who your massager is, de rating differs...but de ambience and service was not too bad.. 3.5/5

家後 (gei ao)

Came across this song "wife" (家後) when pub singer 民雄 sang to his wife at a variety show...for de fact that his wife married and stood by him when he's poor and low, how they survive a near divorce, how he's gonna hold her hand and take care of her... didn't manage to find de clip, but he really has got a great voice =)

this version is also nice... de gal 黎礎寧 recently committed suicide cos of love matters... alamak she's so pretty, so talented...itz really not worth ending her life...but then perhaps this is her destiny? it's fated ba

if you listen carefully to de lyrics (that is if you understand), de song speaks of an ordinary marriage, ordinary life, ordinary couple, ordinary happiness...and there's grandpa asking grandma to leave first cos he doesnt bear to see her tear for him...

too much TV = unhappiness?

NEW YORK:

Happy people spend a lot of time socialising, going to church and reading newspapers - but they do not spend a lot of time watching television, a new study has found.

That is what unhappy people do.


The University of Maryland analysed 34 years of data collected from more than 45,000 participants and found that watching TV might make you feel good in the short term, but is more likely to lead to overall unhappiness.

'The pattern for daily TV use is particularly dramatic, with 'not happy' people estimating over 30per cent more TV hours per day than 'very happy' people,' the study said.

'Television viewing is a pleasurable enough activity with no lasting benefit, and it pushes aside time spent in other activities - ones that might be less immediately pleasurable, but that would provide long-term benefits in one's condition. In other words, TV does cause people to be less happy.'

The study, published in next month's issue of Social Indicators Research, analysed data from thousands of people who recorded their daily activities in diaries over the course of several decades. Researchers found that activities such as sex, reading and socialising correlated with the highest levels of overall happiness.

Watching TV, on the other hand, was the only activity that had a direct correlation with unhappiness.

'We looked at eight to 10 activities that happy people engage in, and for each one, the people who did the activities more - visiting others, going to church, all those things - were more happy,' said Dr John Robinson, co-author of the study. 'TV was the one activity that showed a negative relationship. Unhappy people did it more, and happy people did it less.'

The study said: 'TV is not judgmental or difficult, so people with few social skills or resources for other activities can engage in it.

'Furthermore, chronic unhappiness can be socially and personally debilitating and can interfere with work and most social and personal activities, but even the unhappiest people can click a remote and be passively entertained by TV. In other words, the causal order is reversed for people who watch television; unhappiness leads to television viewing.'

Unhappily married couples also watch more TV: '(Happily married couples) engage in 30per cent more sex, and they attend religious services more, and read newspapers on more days, while those not happy with their marriages watch more TV.'

Commenting on the study, Dr Robinson said the worsening economy could boost TV viewing.

'Through good and bad economic times, our diary studies consistently found that work was the major activity correlate of higher TV viewing hours,' he said.

Since the major predictor of how much time is spent watching television is whether someone works or not, Dr Robinson added, it is possible that rising unemployment will lead to more TV time.

(shit i'm guilty of watching lotsa tv! but i dun tink my frens whO dun watch tv are much happier than me leh... is SPH publishing this to 'gek' mediacorp??)

shOrt getaway at genting

itz my 5th time to genting... probably my last cOs itz high time i save for other destinations!

itz still an enjoyable trip... sometimes itz really de company that matters ;)

must do's in genting:

1. bumper car till your leg's full of blue blacks!

2. solero shot @ 4 different angles

3. bet RM$100 on 大小 casino table

4. hit de jackpot! (now most machines only accept 'virtual' credits *sadz* as i almost fell asleep while playing cos there's no need to hold a cup to 'hop' de falling coins)

5. walk in de open or wind down your window while driving up (de cool air is super fresh!)

my recommendation:

3d2n (jus nice to explore almost everything), stay at first wOrld hotel (cheap and good and sometimes you get to hear your neighbours talk in de next room), rent a car and drive up (you can maximise your time by reaching early and leaving later, and travel in comfort), go in a group with people who loves thrilling rides, shopping, chilling out, casino (no xtreme shoppers or gamblers or gu-niangs pls), best is go with someone like them who keep you entertained, oh yeah...

hey, guess if i'm a boy or girl? do i look like a maplestory character?

oh ya while we travel along de malaysia highway, we came across SOS signs...

it actually means ⋅⋅⋅ – – – ⋅⋅⋅

yep, get it???!!!!

aiya, it doesnt mean anything lah!

itz not an acronym, it doesnt stand for assholes, save our sedan (what else can you think of?)

itz just letters representing an internationally recognised radio code to call or signal for help... chey!

2009 planner

itz de year end!

erhmm with de AIA saga, guess your agent will be more worried about his/her jOb than to get you a 2009 organiser? they earn your money to print that anyway *oh what de heck???!*

hOw about getting your own pOcket-size planner at S$2 Only?

i like it cOs it opens with a mini monthly calendar...
gee i have been using one to keep track of my deadlines for past 3 years (it can be pretty stressful to see it red with words at times - you get what i mean ya)...

reasOns why i gOt it (again):
itz small, handy, pretty (many designs to choose) and it fits nicely in my bag, pouch... itz made from recycled paper...good for de environment! and itz 2 bucks come on! (aiya gals alwaz have reasons to buy things ma...itz not a waste of money k)

and nOpe i didn't order online. i bought it from de bloomingtOn shop in anchorpoint (#b1-34, opposite ikea @ alexandra)...itz quite an interesting shop where you can find items like



and also hOt games meant for de couples (for those who wanna spicez up their xmas nights...hur can see some of your eyes brightening hahaha!)

and if you do not already know, these "where the unexpected happens" items dO not come as cheap as de planner though...

btw i personally lOve de decor @ de tcc boutique here...itz as far as i know de only cafe in s'pore dat allows you to machiam dine alfresco but with air-conditioning!

hmmm a recommended place to chit chat with frens or read a book... feels abit like you are overseas?

oh no realise i have been advertising for free lately >_<

cheap & nice mani & pedicure

on a lazy sunday afternoon, this is what you can do...

try de express manicure (S$6) & pedicure (S$9) at jojo beauty salon... it includes trimming & buffering... very worth it (and ya u need not fly to bangkok to have a nicely done cheap manicure!)


de manicurist 小丽 (a young, shy, polite, fair chinese lady) has steady hands and can draw delicate creatures like beetle, butterfly, flowers, santa claus etc, for just S$1 per nail!

she is very 细心and can take about an hour to complete de express mani & pedicure for every customer... keke not sure if itz a boom or bane for her bossie >_<

de salon uses OPI polish, so itz extremely worth it... you need not sign any package...

ur galfrens can chit-chat with you on this lazy couch while waiting for their turn!

remember to book an appointment wif dem as dey are usually packed, especially on weekends...

i haven't tried de facial though... do leave a comment ifyou have tried and itz strongly recommended! thanx!

before & after...

really creative thinking...bet it's by a guy!

2 nOvember was beautiful...

2 nOvember 2OO8, was a beautiful day...

it was de day one of my closest frens got hitched to de love of her life...

and i wOuld like tO capture and ink the magical mOments leading to and on this beautiful day here, befOre i eventually lOse memOry

(keke believe sOmeday i will... was nicknamed 'ah pek' for my slowness and forgetfulness...)

(姐妹s trying on our cream themed dresses and discussing de wedding plans at 新娘's new home... guess who's de bride who is not in cream??)

(姐妹s visiting our alma mater to make a special dedication for de wedding day montage, but as all of us are camera-shy, phew...am so glad the dedication was not screened during de lunch in front of so many guests...yeah it will be a exclusive video for de couple only wahaha!

de sweet mani and pedi we did on our nails...

*blink blink*

what i loved most about de day:

everything falls into place with er... a few hiccups of cos...but most importantly, de bride din puke!

(she will when she's too anxious...i was de runner and have to standby with a few plastic bags to pre-empt her...omg cant imagine if she did on her big day!)

what de bride loved most for de day:

waiting in de master bedrm waiting for de groom to enter, and hearing de laughters de 姐妹s had gate-crashing with de 兄弟s... (keke, guess she's eager to join us in de hackering!)

what de groom loved most for de day:
de solemnisation... de bride answering "I will" before de JOP asks her officially! (keke, she must be too nervous!)

a special dedication to the newly weds..."when you tell me that you loved me"...your solemnisation march-in song was perfect for de occasion...


remember to be there for each other no matter what happens...

may you two share a blissful marriage fOrever...

新郎, thanks for being so sporting for de games we played!

我门相信你一定会在每个月份对peggy说: "我很爱你,我很幸福" 的!

b: there's no pork chop, only lamp & chicken chop

few mins later,
a: where's my pork chop?
b: we din order pork chop, cos itz halal.

few mins later,
a: i feel like eating pork chop... is it ready?

haha, on my mind i was like "isn't this mr brown's NO PORK podcast?!"

for those who have not heard it, enjoy!
if you heard it before, keke i'm sure you will still be entertained again, so enjoy too!

happy deepavali ah ne!
