I bought mooncakes for my family.. Intercontinental Hotel Japanese Sweet Potato paste and Champagne Chocolate Snow Skin..


Heavenly, i tell you. Cost me quite a bomb too.



But well, its not everyday that i buy things for my family right?
(Sigh, this kinda daughter where to find? Lol!!! )










That guy at the counter gave me a 20% discount, so happy!

The whole Raffles City branch are having mooncake fever.. my Cash Officer Lynn bought almost all the mooncakes from different brands for us to sample.. In just one day, ive tried mooncakes from Goodwood park, Marriot, Bengawan Solo, Fairmount.. but the best ive tasted is still the ones at Intercontinental hotel.. and another brand called Home's Favourite.

Its a bakery located at Joo Chiat, the Black durian mooncake is freaking mouthwatering, and the snowskin wont leave u feeling Jelat.



Haha, anybody wanna hire me to be their Miss Makansutra? hehe..




Yesterday went to have steamboat with Yuanda and the rest.. Its been a long time since i hang out with them.. it just so happen that Yuanda accidentally miss-called me on my cell phone, then we started to chat, he asked me to join the rest for the steamboat dinner on sunday, and of course i agreed. Lol.



He told me he is gonna drive me there but i didnt want to trouble him cos' he is having a business appointment at Yishun, but he insisted, so im like okay lor.



And then at 7pm sharp, i saw this red BMW at the parking lot. For a moment i couldnt believe my eyes. Ha. I still remember the last time we met, we walked from Clarke Quay all the way to Spottiswoode, he didnt have a car then.. and now he is driving a BMW.



He is really my role model la. Bought a BMW with his own money at 24 years old, and still as humble as before.






Okay gonna enjoy my mooncake. Cya next post. =)

The Other side of the world

I only slept for 3 hours. Its my bio "cock" (as Yida says)..


No i didnt go to PLAY, I bet DQ hates me right now, i flew his aeroplane. I just dont understand why he refuse to ask his friends along. It is just no fun wout a crowd. I really dunno what he is thinking. And it was raining, totally killed my mood.



I slept till 2pm and met Huinee for dinner and shopping. We are really on a budget this time, we had Macdonalds, lol. After that we went from Far East plaza to DFS. I found this new scent which i really love- Miss Cherie Dior



I guess my next pay cheque goes to that. And just that. Ive thought about it, im saving up for my studies. No more spending money like nobody's business. =)


After that Huinee headed home and i went to find Gavin and his group of friends at Serangoon. His friend Jonathan actually stays at my aunts block, so i had to cross my fingers and hope she dont bump into me, but after all it is quite late at night so i guess there wont be any chance of that happening.


We were chatting in Jonathan's room and then one of his maid (they've got 2) pushed another guy in the room. It was Jonathan's younger brother who is the same age as me.


He was in a wheelchair, his speech was slurry, there were surgical scars over his arms and legs and he had a broken smile on his face.

I guessed he could see all the question marks in my head.

And he said, " I had a bike accident early this year. New year. And then i was hospitalised. Girlfriend was on the bike too. After that she left me."


"Oh.." I didnt know what to say. I felt quite sorry. It must be damn hard on him.


After that his brother went to bed and another friend Louis drove us to this place at Paya lebar. Royal thai disco.


Yea i know i know it isnt a place for a girl like me. But the ironic thing is i rather hang out then to go home and think about bullshit. And also, i wanna see what it is like there. I tell you, one day all these curiousity might just kill the cat. But so far, i think im wise enough to not do what i should not do.



Bass? Check.
Booze? Check.
Hot thai girls? Check.


It was indeed an eye opener for a girl with deep thoughts. I looked at those thai girls (yea some of them are so damn hot, makes me wanna be a lesbian myself) and i cant help but to wonder, what is their story like?


Behind those shorter than short skirts and long wild hair, why do they end up being like that? What do they need all these money for? Prada bags? Or to feed their families?


Nobody in their sane mind will like to be touched by horny ugly guys. At least that is what i think. And be forced to drink 5 shots for 50 dollars. Omg, that is so degrading.


And one of those HUG (Horny Ugly Guys) put his arms protectively around one of those girls, kissed her and told her that he love her but its clear to see there is nothing else but sex on his mind.


It was damn crowded as it was one of the organiser's birthday. Me, Gavin and Louis were stoning there and debating about who's hot and who's not while the rest of them (all HUGs) were all drunk and hug.


The 2 of them didnt even drink a bit. Gavin was there everywhere i go and Louis was kinda heartbroken. He haven got over an ex girlfriend who is one of the Thai girls there.


And he said," Hey you dont know, it was true love okay."


I laughed. True love? Talk to me bout that man.


True love to them is the cold hard cash in your wallet and the car you drove us here.



After the club closed, we were dragged to Oasis at Maxwell after much persuasion from Louis. With another 2 cars and a few bikes so total up approximately 15 guys and one girl. ( Me la, duh.) And i kept wondering what the fuck i was doing down there.



Oasis really sucked. Number one, the sound system was really bad, the bass and treble was piercing to our ears.



Number two, no pretty girls. At all. And not to mention the HUGs is 2 times worse looking then the Royal Thai disco. It seems like Gavin is the only good looking one there. Well, at least he look korean. Haha.



And it is really disgusting to see those self-degrading ah lians get drunk and blabber bullshit.. They were screaming and making a fool outta themselves. We couldnt tahan the sound system anymore and after 3 sticks of cigarettes Gavin decided to send me home. (Im like, finally). Ha.



It was hard to get a cab and Shenton.. We walked quite a fair bit.. on the way home, we talked about everything under the stars. And he really changed my perception of seeing things. I guessed he is right. With our standards it is defnitely not difficult to find a girlfriend/boyfriend, but relationships are troublesome, why bother? Single life is good, no liabilities. If i like someone, we can enjoy each other's company but there is no need to be in a relationship. After all, it is just a status. And its not like we gonna get married or something.



It is only the beginning.

Yes, it is quite flattering to have a cousin who looks up to you.

But somehow it is kinda freaking me out.

Never mind that she put my pictures on her friendster.

She added my ex boyfriend (Toie) and put it as her featured friend.



And somehow or another she knows my love life!! Freaky!!
She is telling her mom which tells my mom bout Jin who still has my pictures in his bog, friendster or whatever.. My dad always tells me vague details.


I dont even go to Jin's friendster anymore. Or his blog.


I find all the rumours amusing.


No thats not Joey im talking about, it is a younger cousin. That silly girl.


It is kinda awkward la. My mom's side is kinda screwed up.


And i just remembered, a few months ago, right after a family gathering, my dad gave me a stern look when i came back from work.


He is like , " Ting, you should know what you are doing, Dont anyhow."


Anyhow what?!?


"Your cousin told his mom that he likes you."


Wtf?!? He made it sound like we were having some incestuous relationship?


I only meet this cousin once every few years!



Somehow i find all these rumours kinda amusing.



But i seriously dislike my parents asking me questions that i dont even understand.


And to my little cousin, if you are reading this, just wanna tell you, dont look up to me.


I aint a role model. Im just a normal person. I get hurt in relationships, in fact, my love life is kinda screwed up. I face shit at my workplace sometimes.. my life aint a bed of roses.


But if you still want to know more bout me, its fine. Just dont let ur momma know. Because by letting your momma know means my mommy will also know. And if my mommy knows my daddy will come and ask me questions. And i dont know how to answer his questions you know?


Complicating.

Wake up, Mr. West, Mr. West, Mr. Fresh
Mr. by-his-self-he-so-impressed
I mean, damn, did you even see the test
You got D's mother fucker, D's, Rosie Perez
And yes, barely pass any and every class
Looking at every ass
Cheated on every test
I guess this is my dissertation
Homie, this shit is basic
Welcome to graduation

Good morning
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning

Good morning
On this day we become legendary
Everything we dreamed of
I'm like a fly Malcolm X
Buy any jeans necessary
Detroit wear cleaned up
From the streets of the league
From an eigth to a key
But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets
From the moments of pain
Look how far we done came
Haters saying ya changed
Now ya doing ya thing

Good morning
Look at the valedictorian scared of the future
While I hop in the Delorean
Scared-to-face-the-world complacent career student
Some people graduate, but we still stupid
They tell you read this, eat this, don't look around
Just peep this, preach us, teach us, Jesus
Okay, look up now, they done stole your streetness
After all of that, you receive this

Good morning
Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good morning
Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good morning
Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good morning
Hustlers, that's if you're still living
Get on down

Good Morning~!

yes, this IS the official Kanye West video.. i love it.. i love how he uses education to voice out about how life on the streets is. And the bear looks so cute! I saw his signature "Stronger" glasses at Revoltage. Wonder if anybody will wear them, i mean, you cant even see properly with them right?

Im having a love hate relationship with my ipod, it keeps hanging on me. Tried to reset it but i cant. How do i survive wout music? I have no idea. God can you stop putting me to the test? You are like giving me everything i love and taking them away from me.

Okay, enough of my melodrama.

Another day just comes and goes..

Work life was a okay. I dont dare to say that it is great, but im pretty much contented. Back @ Raffles city and it is good to see those people again.


Today i had to go to FEB building at Cecil street for a Relief pool meeting. Waited for Huinee for a freaking 15 minutes.. but after the previous relationship i realised ive become more patient (i mean, whats 15 minutes when i had waited 2 weeks right? Never mind that all the waiting went down the drain)

So there she was, with another guy in a suit. At first i thought it was her bf, but i remembered she told me her bf was the sporty outdoor (almost Toie) kind, so i figured he wasnt. Turns out it is a Senior Officer who is also from relief pool. He seriously got that doctor look. So 3 of us walked like 10 freakin minutes before we reached the building.



The meeting rooms were labelled funny names, like espresso room, cappucino room bla bla bla.. (i wonder if there is a frappucino room, if there is, im gonna call up my bff and asked him to slack there with me the whole day, hahaha.)


I didnt expect that many people to turn up.. so we did what most adults in the corporate world do, just socialising around.. i took a quick glance around, some auntie looking woman blabbering about shit.. 2 ladies smiling at each other politely, and guys looking smart with their ties and all.. and then there's me and Huinee, 2 noobs there bullshitting. Haha.


And then i found myself chatting up with some of the guys there.. and then i thought to myself, hey, single life is not that bad! It is good to know more people, i still need to broaden my social circle.


And then the meeting starts. It was tad boring. The presenter cant pronounce "L" and somehow i find it kinda amusing. (Yeah, i know, i hate myself for that too.) i tugged on Huinee's ponytail playfully and she turned back and look at me, almost as if she is half asleep. I guess she wasnt really paying attention to what the speaker was saying too.


And then we ended the meeting with doughnuts, muffins and Old Chang Kee.



Yeah thats about all.


No thats not all.



I took a peep at his friendster. His shout out was this: "Should i say you are Extravagant; Fanciful; Whimsical; impudent, Streetwise or just another person who haven't seen the world enough?"



I wonder if he is talking about me. God knows. Maybe im too sensitive.


But seriously, impudent? Am i? Nah, im just straightforward.
Fanciful? Hell yea, i have to admit that.


But its not a crime, aint it? But i dont build sandcastles in the air.


Well, if all these are true, i feel sad that we turn out this way. I dont want to burn bridges. Plus, how much does he know about me? It is because of all these assumptions that we ended up like this. And if that is really what you think about me, i will appreciate you telling me right in front of my face, just dish it out and we can discuss about it.. or argue, whatever, but just dont assume.



But ironically, if its true, it is good too. At least he had feelings (be it resentment), better than him having no feelings for me at all. I seriously feel like toilet paper, like me, get into a relationship with me, tell me you will never hurt me.. and then the feelings fade, just an sms and expect me to fuck off and move on with life?



Sounds too fucking easy. I vowed never to trust any guy again.


Somehow, i still yearn for an answer.. the answer to why this relationship turns out this way. But it doesnt matter, does it? And the truth always hurts.


Aargh.

Somebody save me frm this misery.
