Karaoke Session 29/10/06 @ JE

my usual favourite pastime.... KTV!!!!! Same gang of people..... Something disappointed with Kbox JE was that, their mic was not really good.... I had always been rather particular about the quality of the mics..... Luckily the food that day was still quite acceptable... but since their mics were not in an excellent quality, i think i would avoid going there animore if possible lah..... coz after all, among all Kbox, JE's branch is the nearest to my home.... After singing, we went to IMM Coffee Club to have coffee n chat... as usual lah.. talked anithing which is under the sun.... with my 2 best friends..... Kelly n Jasline How i wish i can have such a time with them all the time.... we are all busy with work n personal stuff, so when i have the chance to meet them, i'll try to catch up.... i just hope that in the future, when all of us are settled down with families n children, our friendship can still b strong n firm.... In my life, to be able to find a confidante isn't easy to come by... I was lucky n fortunate to have Kelly with me. no matter when i was happy or depressed. she'll always b there when i needed her most... she is the 1 who understands me the most, more than ani1 else... how i wish i can keep this best friend with me 4eva.... i will never want to lose this wonderful friend of mine..

Mum's bday at Sakae 25/10/06


It was supposed to be a tuition slot for me that day, but becoz of this woman in my house, whose birthday lied on a Wed, so had to push forward, so that me n my bro can help her celebrate... For those ppl who know me rather well will now that my sis had flown to Dublin to work... Dad also went to Philippines to work, but will be back on this coming Saturday....
I asked mum whether she had tried Sakae or not, she said no.... Bro was actually thinking of going to Swensens, but i decided to bring her there to try the food out....
Though just the 3 of us... but life has to go on as usual lah.... We ate quite a lot of food... & most important was, i ate 3 Chawanmushi, which is my favourite!!!!!!!
Every year, we will give my parents a treat on their respective bdays.. will try to make it a family feast.. but this year was short of 2 persons... but nvm, we'll gather soon again, I know...

27/10/06 Happy Birthday! U R 1 year old!

How time flies.... a few days ago, which is 27/10/06, my car turns 1 year old! More years to come...
It has always been my dream to own a Picanto... n finally i got it.... Luckily was that, it is still healthy.. which is accident-free lah.. haha...
I was pondering n in a dilemma to get which blue.... for those who had seen these 2 colours before.. after a few minutes of consideration, i chose this lighter blue.... I had not regretted getting this Picanto... In fact, i'm rather reluctant to get a big sized car.... looks strange... i'm so small in size, to drive a big sized car is like a dwarf driving...
Hope i can stay free from accident..... i still want to have this LOVE of mine for a few more couple of years.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Grandma's Bday 15-10-06


That sunday, we Chin family, gathered at IMM Long Beach restaurant.... Made a reservation a week ago b4 the dinner, and yet when we reached, there isn't enough tables for us... we booked 2 tables... in the end, they gave us a BIG table, which consist of 16 people....
We ordered many food... which not all r fantastic.... this year, as usual, my eldest uncle was absent.... n this year was short of my sis....
My cousin Liling n family bought a big cake for my grandma.... n there we were, taking photos when the restaurant helped us to play a happy birthday song... we all sang 2gether n clapped... after making a wish, my grandma blew the candles...
Bro helped to divide the cake..... Though i was rather disappointed with the service the Manager has given, but since it's a happy occasion, we shall let it go... but i think if given a 2nd chance, i wouldn't want to visit there again.....

When a r/ship failes, dun blame ani1 but ownself


I was lucky enough to knock off from work at 11.30am after the last day of PSLE marking.... my other colleagues still stuck in their respective marking centres, so i decided to go home.... went to JP for lunch with my brother.... We were talking about some ppl in our lives.. then heard him saying a sentence which i agreed... he said that when a r/ship failes, don't ever blame the other party for having a new love or watsoever reason... just blame ownself..... i pondered a while n then found that wat he said was rather logical... Y does your partner choose to leave u after a few years of courtship?? if u r really good enough to make them stay by your your side, it wouldn't ended up this way... so we should reflect on y this matter happens if your partner leaves u for some1 else.. If partner leaves u for another new love, then ask yourself... y he/she leave u for the other person?? y u choose such a person in the beginning??? in what way the 3rd party is better than u? I really thought thru this matter..... i think if we ourselves are so good, partners won't leave u, even if u r broke or not outstanding in appearance..... this is also all about mutual trust.... For those people who love to grumble y their partners chose to end the r/ship, now is the time for u to reflect on the reasons.... we Man never admit the flaws in us... we only know how to push the blame to the other party that they caused us hurt n pain..... i think it's also time for me to think it over prudently on my perspective in life n love....

Updates for the 1st week of October 2006

This week, i've been rather tired.. so no time to update my blog. now i shall update u of what i've been doing for the past few days.
  • 04-10-06:
My tuition no longer on wed, coz my student has PSLE, so no need to tuition animore. My bf n i went to Chinese Garden after having our dinner at Wen Dong Ji Chicken Rice @ bukit timah. We missed the lantern festival last year. so Bong asked me if i'm interested to go with him. n there we went.
  • 05-10-06:
Another tuition slot for me, for those who know that i've been teaching tuition. wed n thur cannot ask me out. but bcoz of exam peroid, my tuition slot will start 12-10-06.
It's the day when my sis fly to Dublin, to work, for 2 years. I drove home to fetch my other families members and my Gu Zhang (uncle). Sis' frd drove her to airport, we all meet up at Changi. We had Fish & Co at terminal 2..then went back to terminal 1 as she has to check in there.
It has always been her wish to go overseas to work. she succeeded. but mayb bcoz she got too touched, so she kept crying b4 she went in. we stayed there all the way til 11.30pm then we left the airport. i was so shacked, as thur has always been the day i hate most, timetable very packed.
  • 06-10-06:
Mid Autumn festival! had to go grandma house for dinner as usual. Bong has to work OT, so he can't join me. We stayed til around 9.30pm then go home.
  • 07-10-06:
Something to be happy about!! Bong n me went to Chinatown to search for tour agency n packages for Taiwan trip. after approaching 1-2 agencies, we decided to go back to the agency we went 2 years ago for our HK x'mas trip. after the asst manager explained to us on all the fares n infor, we decided to book our package there again.. we'll b goin on a 6D/5N. will b there for x'mas... so happy! had been waiting for this day!!! we placed a deposit for our air fares.. the rest will go pay next month.
Had a mahjong game with bro, dad n 5th uncle at 9.50pm.. played 2 rounds that ended around 3am.. coz 5th uncle moved to Yew Tee liao, so i went to drive him to our house, then we all went to Yew Tee 24hours Mac to eat supper. send him back liao then go home sleep.. wow, that was around 4am. what a tiring week.
As a whole, i'm very happy... Now the next problem comes, what about the Bangkok trip in early dec??????

Free makeover?




My bro called me yesterday to find out if i'm free to go to a place with him today morn at 10am... he claimed that he received a call that he has won a free makeover session thru the Great S'pore Sale... though he forgotten if he did take part in the lucky draw, but he think mayb he can go down to find out what is it all about... if it's a pram, then we'll just walk away... so i promised him to go down with him...
i shall not spell out the studio's name.... so this morn, we went down w/out having breakfast... the person who called my bro said that it'll b done in 1.5hours' time... we r required to bring our 2 favourite sets of clothes to change... ???
there were quite a number of ppl there, queueing to get make-up n change, to prepare for photoshoot... in the package he has won, can take up to 40 photos, but only allowed to choose 2, n they will burn it into a CD-rom for him... they requested my bro to bring a working adult to go down with him.. Angeline wasn't free, so there i was.... being available...
shan't go into details on the photo shooting.. otherwise the whole blog will b too long... we changed into their Korean wear provided.... bcoz the casual wear we took, the memory card is spoilt, so to prevent changing back, we chose to take photos with the Korean wear...
After the whole photoshoot, as expected, they tried to promote us to buy their products n sign up for their package. i told my bro to do the talking... after much persuasion, we insisted not to purchase anything from them.. coz they said my bro won the package, so my bro already told me that if they want us to pay, he definitely won't compromise to pay a single cent...
They persuaded us for quite some time.. we remained firm, so they got infuriated, the expressions n reactions were so obvious.... actually the whole thing can b done b4 12, but we ended up leaving at 1.30pm... caused me to get a fine coz of insufficent displaying of carpark coupon. N out of no choice, they let us choose only 2 pictures.
We did take around 40 shots, solo n pairs.. so we decided to take 2 pics with us in it... we need more time to think it over to sign the package, but their intention was like, we had to take it NOW or NEVER... i wanted them to give me a namecard, so that after careful consideration n calculation, if i really wanted to take up, i'll contact them.. but when they knew that we were persistent in our stand, they showed attitude.. then i was thinking, then never mind loh...
Well, there's nothing as a free lunch in this world, esp makeover session... but my bro n I had some fun out of there.. making so many poses n shots.. quite shiok... but in the end, we chose 2 photos with decent looks...
