Don't distract me while I'm shopping !

My Boyfriend was talking to me about some important thing while we were walking past the Chanel boutique & I turn back to catch the last glimpse of "that bag" as we move on. He got pissed! Why do I have to do that? Why cant I focus on the topic?

Well I cant, I have to look at these displays when I walk past. Just as he look at cute girls or fast cars .

That's my Achilles' heel. He should have know better, don't ever talk to me about topics of grave importance while shopping....lol....

 

Look at these cuties !!!!

 

 

The Tattoo saga

Coach manage to worm his way back into girl-next-door's good grace. He apologize & gave her the "love-you" ring! See told you that's a winner.

Anyway, she has moved into his bachelor pad & he seems to be happy.

And the tattoo??? The guys suggest he tattoo "her name' over it......lol.....

 But Coach for once in his life made a very good decision- he said -no way- no more names or tattoos ....lol.....

Please don't tattoo your boy friend's name anywhere especially not on your butt!

My bff just called & ask me to recommend her a place for getting a tattoo. I was wondering since when do I become an authority of tattoos? 

Well there's a tattoo incident involving one of my bf's friend: " Coach".

"Coach" as the name suggested is the group's coach on all matters that concerns girls...lol....  I don't understand, why the group consider him an authority in that department! Anyway his rate is one girl per 3 months. That's the rate he changes girl friends. I wonder what the girls saw in him. He's ok, looks- above average, intelligence -hmmm..... lets say I don't get him.

Ok the run-down: Coach's X was the dream-girl, he fell deep & hard for her, she got pass 3 months & on the 4th, she dumps him because she caught him flirting with another girl in the club. During the 3rd month when he was all lovey dovey, he decided to tattoo her name on his arm , & she -his name on her butt! All hell broke lose when they broke off.

Both went for the laser treatment to get rid of the evidence. Have you seen a lasered tattoo before? It's not pretty & very painful. Anyway, it has to take a few sessions to get rid of it totally. And before it's even gone, Coach is on the prowl again. This time it's a girl-next-door type & he claims "she's the one" until she saw the faint but still visible name of his X on his arm!

I'm sure he wouldn't mind if she calls it quits but she did not. She threaten to kill herself!

What happened next, I'll keep you informed ...lol...

We hate Mondays

I don't know how it got started. But I received a "Hate List" from a colleague. What's a hate list? It's a list of things you hated & you send it to your friends for fun. Then you are suppose to send back with your own list, or just add onto the group chat if you are in one. However not everyone will participate, Some just reply " boring" or "you are very free is it?" ....lol...

The first list I received was from Cora (our very young new colleague):
Top Hates:
-Answering calls
-Talking
-wearing dresses
(it's pretty funny considering she has to do all these things at work)

Joe my good friend from the same department in the bank
-other people's money
-clients
-Monday, tuesday, wed, thursday & friday !

Boss's favourite staff
-doing nothing
-gossiping
-Mondays

Mine
-Mondays
-group chats
-any kind of lists

Noticed, how almost  everyone hates Mondays ...lol...

Forecast for today, you'll find LOVE in Singapore !!!

Jess my friend has this apps which gives her a daily forecast, like a daily horoscope. She's totally addicted to it now. She claim it's spot on most of the time. Yesterday morning she texted me at 7am, with the day's forecast: It forecast :
(You will meet someone, a new love. If you are married you must be cautious & draw a line.)

I text back:
(What? you believe this shit?)
(Yes, Very excited, I'm going to wear my favorite dress to work! CU!!!)

So that's it. Saw her in the office a while later, & sure enough, she looked gorgeous! So now we wait, for the miracle. 12 noon, nothing happened. Her spirits was not dampen, not a single bit. We went lunch, & she insisted we spurge & go to a swanky place. Better class of people there, she reasoned ...lol... OK, I'm all for it. We didn't reserve so had to queue outside for a while.

Like a miracle, 5 minutes later a guy appeared behind us & ask if we had waited for long. We turned & looked at him & I could have swear Jess's mind was going- "I've been waiting for you since this morning's forecast" ...lol... He's tall, well dressed, slight accent very charming. He's with another guy almost as cute. He was just wondering how's the queuing time like. Jess started flirting with him, & in no time, we have invited them to join us at our table. Sure enough, within a minute, we got our table. The staff was nice, yes they can give us a table for 4.

So..... do I believe in that daily forecast apps? You bet I do now!

Love is in the Air ...lol...

The Caltex incident: BMW series 5 driver vs elderly Caltex pump attendant

Have you read about that Caltex incident? The one where a guy allegedly named Freddy Foong driving a BMW Series 5, claimed that an elderly pump attendant had mistakenly filled up his car with $135 worth of gas when he only wanted $10- ....lol....

I guess he bullied the attendant & possibly the Caltex staff, so pump attendant said he would absorb the $125- , upon which Freddy Foong walked away smugly.

We would never know of this story if not for Ms Kelly Yeo!
Thank You very much Kelly!We need more people like you, who'll report such society ills. These bullies need be called out, so that they'll think twice the next time they tried to bully or cheat again.

As for smug BMW guy, please don't do it again. You have brought much shame to your family. You deserve it, but not your poor family.

Panbesy & Garbaslim to the rescue. And Vitamin D to lose weight effortlessly :))

By the end of Feb I was seriously bloated & feel kinda down. The Feb celebrations were really harmful to hot bods like ours ....lol...  So I quickly gather my gal pals & went to pay Dr Keith a well deserved visit.

Have not been to the clinic for a while. That has got to do with our will power to resist anything Fattening. Its not as difficult as you might think. Once a while if we over eat, we'll just go on GarbaSlim (the fat burner) for a couple of days, & that'll fixed it. But Feb is a terrible month: Valentine's Day followed by Luna new year! The celebrations, gatherings & eating just don't seem to end !

Anyway, once in the clinic, we quickly got our supplies of panbesy, more garbaslim, also a few pills to get rid of water retention, Kara even had the Vitamin D jab.

Then the stress thing came up, what's good for stress?  Kara read somewhere Omega-3 fatty acids can lower stress levels. It apparently reduce stress-promoting inflammation. Hmmm.... so we got some from Dr Keith too. We left .... Happy. Nick-named it the chill-pill haha...

Now 2 weeks later: Panbesy & Garbaslim is as usual very reliable, I've gotten rid of all the weight I've gained since Feb. Kara is doing very well too. The Vitamin D jab is seriously effective or her:))
As for the Omega-3 chill-pill, I'll be going back to Dr Keith for more, end of the month. I've been sleeping better since I took it daily.

Here's DR Keith Ong's contact for those of you who are interested!

Awesome jobs with great pay & flexibility

"What happen to your blog?" Jamie asked me that the other day.  " Why don't you blog more often ?? Review more things from food to movies etc ..." The truth is, I meant to then I thought, what's the point?  My gibberish really makes sense only to me, anyway. But writing helps.  Even if the only purpose it serves is to get the nonsense out of my head. So let me update you on what I've been up to during my unplanned hiatus.

The other day I went to the dental clinic without an appointment & guess what, no dentist is around. So I learn, you need to book an appointment for that. But isn't that funny? The clinic is open , the receptionist is there & there's not even a single dentist, I just cant get that around my head. But there's like more than 4 dentists listed in that clinic. They don't operate like the normal GP/doctor who has to be around all the time. I can't imagine having a sudden life threatening toothache & can't find any dentist at all!

Come to think of it, being a dentist is really not bad! Say you have no appointment for the day , you can go on long lunches, & coffee breaks, play goal, or even not come to work for the day. But my friend said these dental clinics usually have a few dentists registered there. They are mobile as in, they don't work only in 1 clinic but several clinics. So when ever there's an appointment in any of these clinics, they go. I still don't quite get the whole logistics BUT still.... it seems great ...lol..

I should have become a dentist !The flexibility, mobility & pay suits me :))

All I want for Christmas .....

All I want for this Christmas is this : Yes it's Salvatore Ferragamo's Aosta leather flat loafers. A leather bow and metal plate detail the vamp. It has Rubber sole. I'm so into animal prints all of a sudden. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. I hope the concern individuals see this & know what to do ...haha...

Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen @ MBS

Have you seen Gordon Ramsay's cooking program? Even if you have not, I'm quite sure you would have heard of him. His fame as a celebrity chef & TV personality is pretty in your face. He's everywhere, even in Singapore. He has set up the Bread Street Kitchen at MBS in 2015.

When ever I visited MBS, I'll pass by the restuarant , peek in & tell myself must try it next. I'm pretty curious if it's good. And always I forget about it whenever it's time to look for a place for food.

Then 2 weeks ago, once again we were as usual thinking of where to go for lunch. Then Josh, our new colleague suggested Bread Street Kitchen, & I immediately go "why not?" But the rest were not so enthusiastic. Finally they gave in. This is part of the wonderful meal. The staff are pretty attentive & nice. And will I go again? Yes I would.

I had this, love it

Josh had this, I love how they place the chips in that small tub, it's too cute ...lol..

The salmon is not so good, but the chicken is :)

Nice generous serving of bread & butter

Ah Mah Homemade Sponge Cake at Jcube

A week ago one of my colleague (Kate) brought 2 cakes to work. It's like a norm for us to bring something special, once a while. Usually when we came back from vacation. According to Kate, she saw this Queue for these cakes & she just join it out of curiosity ...lol.. She has to queue for half an hour. Wow we were impressed, it better be good. Yes it's Ah Mah's Homemade Sponge cake!

We tried it & it's good. We had the chocolate & cheese cakes. I especially like the cheese cake. Kate bought hers from JCube, Jurong East. They have other branches now At VivoCity, Bukit Panjang Plaza & Paya Lebar Square.

Japanese fashion label CUNE

I love Japan & it's fashion. Have you heard of Hironori Yasuda & his label CUNE?  The super creative guy started CUNE in 1994.
Yasuda don't care about what's hot this season & the latest trends. He makes what he wants, and each season he picks a seemingly arbitrary theme, one that typically has no place in the world of fashion, and designs his entire collection around it. He doesn’t think about who would wear his clothes, or how they would wear them. In fact, he even says “you don’t have to buy them.” But with two stores in Tokyo, one in Fukuoka and a thriving online shop, people seem to like his bizarre creations.

2016 – raw meat in the sky

His most recent collection last year was all about raw meat and a blue sky. We’re not entirely sure what those two things have in common, but we’ve learned not to ask. So there you have it.

2013 A/W – cabbage

2013 the designer debuted a collection inspired by cabbage. Specifically, the core – that part you have to awkwardly cut out because it’s too hard to chew. Isn't that cute ?

Skinny jeans with frills ?

I'm not sure, but I think everyone would have at least a pair of skinny jeans. Most would have a dozen if I'm not wrong. And that's me. I've 5 pairs in blue, 4 in black, 1 in white, 1 in green & 1 in pink. You just can't go wrong with them. You can dress them down or up, so convenient. However not everything works with jeans.

The other day I was in town & I saw a girl wearing this.Yes they are frills or lace with the skinny jeans. Yes it's pretty weird. I tried taking a pic, but I thought I better try getting one online, for privacy reasons. Found it !

They just don't go together, what you think? My friends couldn't stop laughing when they saw it. People would just wear anything these days I guess! It could be cute on a small kid but an adult ?

Lets all be friends again ..... for my seek !

Last year a couple of my pals decided to start a small business. A café, like Toast Box or Ya Kun, only theirs would be selling crepes, waffles and with higher priced coffee at the heartlands. But these joints are sprouting around town right? Many have done it to various degrees of success & failures. My pals are just being bored & a couple of them has been lay-off recently. They have some money, so looking forward to some investment, something to occupy their time.

They ask me to join in the fun. FUN ? Business school don't teach you, but common sense should warn you about never sharing a business with your best pals. When money is concern, even family will fight. I told them my concern & they brush it off. It'll be great they promised me.

Fast forward 8 months, now the 4 partners/friends are not talking to each other anymore! Anything & everything that could go wrong, went wrong with their venture. In the past we would meet together for birthdays etc... one time. Now I've to meet them separately for all their birthdays, my birthday & whatever day. It's getting exhausting.... for ME! This weekend I'm holding an intervention. Our almost 2 decades of friendship should be able to weather anything.... I hope ! Wish me luck.

Lets all be friends again ..... for my seek !

The more you delegate the less you can be blamed for anything!

What do you think of people who never make decisions? As a result these people cannot be held accountable if anything goes wrong. How F--- up is that right? Is like the more you delegate the less you can be blamed for anything! That's almost like a motto in my department lately!

How it got to be this way? I don't know.... The recent series of lay-offs could be one of the reasons. The locals' kiasuism another I guess. Whatever it is, it's not cool & it's driving me nuts!

But not always.... not where I work !!!!

A perfect picture for my new passport :))

Everyone I know hates their passport photos, two thirds of them also hated their IC photos as well. Well I'm one of them, but now that my passport is about to expire, I've decided to take the most flattering, least embarrassing, best groomed, borderline glamor shot I can.

I bought a whitening tooth paste & have been using it for the past week to bleach my teeth.. Got a new haircut, dye it! Invest in an expensive SK11 facial, 2 days before. I even went to a proper studio to take it! My little secret- eye drops just before the shot to make my eyes sparkle!

The photographer though not Steve Mccurry of the "Afghan Girl" fame, is good enough for me as he looks arty ...lol... He fuss over me for a minute, making me feel like Hedi Klum & I go 'weeee......' Snap, snap & it's done!

A perfect picture for my new passport ...Finally ! 

Super Moon

Did you witness the much hyped about super moon? Ya the night was drizzling & clouded. Guess we were not in the right place. Friends send me a few images, so beautiful right ?

I love fried food.

Fried chicken, French fries, fried onion rings, And I don't just love fried food, I love the fried part ,all by itself! Who has not nibbled the fry off of something? I love KFC, extra crispy. When I'm in a Japanese restaurant, my favorite is tempura.

You have to agree that frying makes a good thing better. But the truly amazing thing about frying is that it will make even disgusting things better!
Example?
Calamari.
It's a squid for God's sake. Have you seen a squid? If you had , you wouldn't put it in your mouth. But fry it, any sea food dinner would not be complete without it!

Same thing with softshell crabs. A soft shell crab is a crab that has recently molted its shell, so that its exoskeleton is still soft. You wouldn't normally eat a soft exoskeleton, much less all the stuff that's inside a crab, which is whatever he ate last.
Do you think crabs are picky eaters?
I don't think so... So you have to factor that in.
Plus the eyes are still attached.
But fried it?
It became a delicacy! And I love it !

Still looks disgusting , but taste yummy ...lol...

Breakfast @ Botanic Gardens !

A colleague from an overseas branch is in town. So I thought I should bring him around. 2 days ago,  I took half a day off & brought him to Botanic Gardens for breakfast.  He came to Singapore many times already but this is the first time he had breakfast @ Botanic Gardens. He loved it.

He told everyone how awesome it was. Now everyone is asking me to bring them there too ...lol.. Well I told them they have to be male, single, 6ft , full head of curly hair ,big eyes with giraffe like lashes first !

Yummy

Me on steroids ???

I went to the hair salon yesterday to do some hair treatment. When my favorite stylist & friend saw me, he almost screamed. "Wow, your hair grow so fast!!! What you did? you went on steroids ???"

Goodness everyone turned to stared at me. Probably thinking I'm really on steroids. How embarrassing. FYI, I'm not ! That stuff damages you!

My hair just happens to grow fast, I don't know why. Faster than a normal person. I sort of, have to explain & loud enough for everyone to hear me, I hope. The lady beside me looked at me with envy & started talking to me. She said her hair growth is like a tortoise moving, but she does save on cutting though, as it hardly needs cutting. Then everyone came up with all kinds of methods to expedite hair growth. Sometimes I enjoy going there, it's just fun talking with everyone, even complete strangers.
