Its been long

Lazy~!

If I could have posted pictures, yes plenty! not of me, but my new pup, a toy poodle in parti colour, the biggest surprise I had which I brought home on 5 June 09. She's named Tiffany. Videos of her, half a dozen. More of her, of cos...but not now...

I still remembered the first living thing given to me by my first love when I was 12. It was a goldfish. I kept for a day, and through feeding the wrong stuff, I can't recall if it was biscuit or bread, and it died the next day. The 2nd living animal received was from my previous longest steady bf was a white rabbit which I reared from a palm size bunny to a big-sized one. So this third one from my hubby is definitely a great surprise. She is god darn cute, and I need a blog post itself to talk abt her. So, till next tym.

Since then I had been playing with her, getting pretty much occupied, + recently I had joined gym at amore and ~ so far so good. Years back, I went to gym wif my gd galfriend mandy, now I had to go alone, but i does not feel any distances or boring when I'm in the gym, I pretty much enjoyed doing it alone too. Membership is expensive, so I took the 1 year plan only for fear of no committment later. Spent $1320 + 10%. Good thing is that it extends for mc, overseas or pregnancy. So, I must say it is good for me.

Had went for 2 classes till now. The jazz class was taught by a Phillippine male instructor and the Stretch Fit class I attended yesterday was taught by a pretty late 20's female instructor. I must say I pretty much enjoyed those lessons & lose some carbs through those fun. I used to go for the hip hop class donkey years back, the male instructor was dancing great too! I will want to try the yoga & belly dance :D. O'yeah, and I went for a steam bath too, I told myself imma gonna bring my beauty mask the next time round.

Today is Saturday, and imma gonna go for kickboxing class at 12.30pm followed by a new body class at 1.30pm. Often I would spent time in classes for warm up, before proceeding to the treadmill for a 30min cardio run (well i used to run for an hour: i need to step up again), then other cardios, then weight lifting and crunches. I'm maybe looking forward to go for a swim at amore swimming pool at tampines 1, and try out the oxygen room. Well, it's far away, but since I got a birthday party to attend at bedok tomorrow, might as well on the way.

Yup, probably getting my body in good shape to fit in a nice bikini before I get preggie one day and leaves a flabby stomach, so I gotta do it. Of coz, for some good reasons, I had to prep myself for good body conditioning, so that my future baby will have a good environment to grow in my stomach.

Back last week, I did something which I wanna do for a long time. I did vbeam laser on my face to get rid of my strickening acne redness. Damage was $960 including consultation, creams, mask & laser. Boy was it expensive, it hurts so much to overblow the savings. But face is important! So? Worthy or not? I must say rather effective, and dr chua from sloane clinic is good, and while she chatted along wif me when she did my face, it makes time flew. However as what is recommended a 6 sessions would do wondrous. That's a package of $3000. I'm still considering hard as that's a lot of money to me, to cough out an additional $2.4k is no easy task. I can do so many things with it, like buying some pieces of furniture for the house, or buying a new bag or save for the whatever emergency i might land in.

Talking abt home, ever since we shifted in our home for the past one and a half year. Almost everyday, there is basketball, ping pong and badminton. So, we always gets the musical sound of sports from below. Sometimes, pok pok pok....., or pin porg ping porg...


Finally we made the decision to renovate the house. We're left with no choice as the preparing of baby conceiving, we have to hasten the decision. Making baby is not as easy as whipping up a meal, we never know the success rate so we gonna try asap.


Well, and thinking of my friends lately, close friend like mandy, even without frequent contact, we still have d mutual understandship and friendship. And good close friends like Joyce becomes sensitive of my behavior and Janice, makes me feel even closer as she always keep in check of my mood, and becomes a pot where I can pour my unhappiness and share my happenings. I guess that's what real friends are, they are not afraid to come to you when when u r a lil down, and they do not fear of listening to what u r gonna grief. Wow!


Girlfriends accompany you, goes shopping, mani pedi, and gossip....wow! Yes, I bought a lovely dress from Bebe, again with encouragement from my close friend, Janice. And Im planning to wear it on my bro-in-law's wedding. So looking forward! Definitely post pics of the dress when I wear it. Absolutely absolutely adore it! I can't remembered the time I spend so much for a dress, the last was probably a tailored -made goldish butterfly bare-back chio cheongsam I had years back. Just wore it twice, waist inch 23, guess I can no longer fit in anymore and shall keep for remembrance.


Had sent my Cartier watch for servicing, change batteries and crystal glasses and oiling the movement, custom made a white lizard strap which I will receive in 6 months. Finally a good change from my 2 previous alligator dark-coloured ones. Gosh, hoping to wear it during X'mas, best if I can recieve earlier.


Okay, and last to talk about was I wished for a miu miu coffer bag. Too bad we will be renovating the house soon. Everything is so out of budget and pocket will be tight. I'm gonna scrimp and save hard to buy things for my lovely house. :)

HDB & Ice cream cons

Majorities in s'pore stays in a hdb flat...& of cos unless i strike toto im no different.

But im totally not sadden abt tat part, im so contented wif wat i have, happy...glad & treasured it! Save that for my next life lah!

Everytime early in the mornings, we would get irritated by the 'karung guni' man aka the used newspaper collector a.k.a used radio, tv & clothing collector who pays a miserly sum to our used items. Of course, at times they get items for free.

Each time they would travel from level to level in hdb high-rise buildings, shouting -------> Karung guniiiiii...videoooo...radiooo...dian si giiii ('tv' in hokkien). It ryhmes!!!

& late sleepers would probably b annoyed by em'. & Yes...my place got plenty of karang gunis too. Tat's d disadvantage staying in a hdb. BUT, but last time when i used to meet customers who stays in landed, i must also say that i get pretty annoyed by dog barks, especially during the evening times, or when some ppl passing by or when they go haywire? Its nothing better than those karang guni shouts.

Alright, im definitely not boring my post with this karang guni thingy, its just a phase of tots. Its actually the ice cream.

Sometimes we do get vendors visiting our home for the so-called 'door to door' biz, selling items of non edibles to edibles, eg: yakult, curry puff (in d old days), hifi, wok series etc.

Oya'...i used to do tat too...but selling alarm clocks! I combed a few blocks but i got ZERO sales! & i tried another time selling children's educational products in commercial buildings to OL, responses were equally bad. So, from then on, i gave up and decided to hate door to door sales!!!

Okay, back on track... to the ice cream thing. Yes, now so oftenly we get ice cream sellers. (Teenagers)....(used to be yakult sellers are aunties and curry puff sellers malays)..

ok, today we got a pair of teenager, a guy & a gal at the door. My grandpa walk to em' & spoke to em', yes d' finally part is we bought from them too. I did walked to the door after my grandpa wants to buy the ice cream & while waiting for her change, i briefly looked at the white styrofoam box they contained those assorted ice-cream flavours from durian to choco to red bean & sweetcorn.

This ice cream cost us $12.90.




Which i would labelled as expensive! Same sentiments is shared by ah gong. So we chatted after we bought the ice cream and i got to know that the young girl actually told ah gong that she's from malaysia...and her parent is sick back home & she's working part-time during her school holidays now, and wants my ah gong to help her.

Initially i tot they r some flyers distributor, but when i know we're going to buy some ice cream, i did not hesitate, thinking that its gd to help ppl who works hard & since we could afford and it doesnt cost a pinch, i wouldnt say no.

But it sorta annoys me to find out the fact that she resorts to sympathetical dialogues for selling her stuff, and getting a soft-hearted elderly to buy the ice cream from her.

Take this-------without knowing the conversation between them, i bought the $12.90 ice cream gladly for it being expensive. Hey! 1 tub of haazen daz might juz cost merely a few bucks more & sometimes i couldnt even bear to buy for myself.

So, principally or morally or i should say conscientiously i dislike the way she made her sales pitch. She did caught a customer at heart to buy from her & no doubt a sale is a sale, but i juz dislike how she used pity to made ppl to buy expensive products from her. Surely there's a better way????

Reading till this part....thinking tt im mean to say this? Thinking tt she might be truely poor?Well, im not one who likes to pick on ppls fault & showing it off.. but judging the way shes dressing, her speech... she doesnt sound malaysian to me, & her well-pedicured toes totally sold her off.


She's probably a student whos earning the bucks during school holidays. It doesnt matter so much as to the overpriced value of the ice-cream but the scheming conning lies to make ppl buy from her.


=o Probably it might be my misjudgement of her, but whether its experience or six sense or feelings, it seemed to me a packed of lies for her explanation to close the sale. Nonetheless, its just a pea issue, but i just feel like voicing my points.
