Can I be a student of Bishan Park Sec again?

Here where we are nurtured with Tender and Loving Care.. that we may grow from day to day!!

YES! I'm glad that I'm still able to sing my secondary school's sch song! Recently, there was a BIG HOO HA in facebook regarding about our secondary school photo. Tags were exchange to and fro till my hotmail hit a 70 emails in the inbox! I didnt mind at all with that huge emails from FACEBOOK.. cause every single tag posted was filled with care, laughter and happiness that I wish I was the FELICIA back then!

There were only 6 girls in that huge class of 40 students! Being in the normal academic class, we are always seen as the notorious bunch of kids! However, all the teachers in our school know very clearly that our class are made up of strong bonds.. we love and care for each other that people might mistook us as siblings of each other!

At least it was during my secondary school that I learned how to play mahjong with my classmates! I remembered clearly that it was after our n levels.. and almost EVERY SINGLE DAY.. we will play at our place without fail. Surprisingly, our N level results were very good then. Things like getting punishment together as a class and doing the kallang wave when the teacher was writing something on the board are still stucked right in my head! Love letters from some guys are still kept as remembrance for my future grandchildrens! Detentions due to long fingernails and dyed hairs seems like it took place just yesterday!

Friends then were seens as a gullible kid.. but every single one had change into someone beyond recognition. Some have turned into mummy and daddy! Some had even gotten themselves a gf when they thought that it was almost impossible back in secondary school. Some had make it big (just like my bf who is studying in NTU - WHO HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT AN AH BENG BACK THEN WOULD ENTER LOCAL UNI?)! Some had signed on for the nation!

Oh my.. I really wish I'm a student once again! At least that was when I found my true love...

Bishan Park Secondary School will definitely be one of my venue for.. my bridal photoshoot!

Fruits

I'm here to introduce fruit lovers a very delicious yet healthy (but expensive) fruit call....


BABY KIWI



Darling's mum bought this packet of baby kiwi at a price tag of $4.90! It didnt cross our mind that it was actually kiwi instead of some wierd fruit. I'm glad that his mum bought these baby kiwi. It taste so juicy and sweet that a pop is NEVER ENOUGH! You just have to pop 4 of it to feel the kick and by the time you felt that you need more.. you have just finished a $4.90 worth of kiwi!

I was being brought up in a fruit-lover family. Since young, my dad will always splurge highly on fruits. When I say HIGH... it means really high! For the record, he bought

1. Mangoes - $8 each
2. Peach  - $12 each
3. Mask Melon - $100 each (we have to frost it in order to have that winter feel)
4. Japan Grapes (those big grapes from Japan) - $120 per box (estimated to cost $1 for each grape I had pop into my mouth)
5. DURIANS - 1 durian for $50 or 4 boxes for $100 plus

yes! See how lovely my dad is when it comes to fruits. Everything can run out in my home except FRUITS! There will be at least a bunch of bananas lying on the table if not a few fuji apples. My dad buys only top graded fruits and seriously.. if you were to ask me what great things would I love to master from my dad.. I woul scream... 'HIS LOVE FOR FRUITS AND HOW HE CHOOSES THEM AS IF THEY ARE HIS GF'! Most of the fruits my dad picks are always sweet and tender. I must admit that because of his standards, I tend to be very picky with fruits that I ate outside.

Last saturday, darling's dad bought 15 durian back just because the family was craving for it. 15 durians is NO JOKE! I burped through the night while playing mj with lk and rest. The whole house stinks of our(bf and I) durian burps. The durians I ate at their place were although nice.. but somehow.. it just didnt win over those durian my dad bought this evening. The durian literally melt throughout the whole process of sucking. I felt that I was... erm.... *IN-LOVE*! YES! I finished up a whole box of durian for dinner! Can you believe it? HAHA!

I'm really glad and fortunate that I have such a lovely daddy! I LOVE YOU DADDY! Happy father's day!

Work Matters

I'm heading to my 5 mths in Waraku soon. Being a Marketing Executive for an FnB is indeed a very challenging job. I have to take every single opportunity seriously to promote Waraku effectively.

Just recently, we were informed that Wonder Girls will be heading to ILUMA for a meet and greet session. Iluma seldom have such grand events held at the premises.. and I thought that doing a promotion then will definitely garner truckloads of positive responses.

Without any hesistation, I came out an idea together with my colleague to give away our waraku mineral waters to the public during the Wonder girl event. We ensured all logistics were done accurately as the time scheduled for us was quite tight. We made our way down to Iluma to paste all the water bottle labels up on every bottles - it was time consuming (WE KNOW) but we had to get more students to know about our amazing offer! We started giving out the bottles at 4.30pm after getting our passes ready and thank god that the response for the day was unexpectedly GOOD! (The boss was very happy)

The huge crowd at Iluma! Uncle holding on to our mineral water.


My friendly outlet staff got his friend from M1 to snap a photo for me. :)


Back view of one of the wonder girls!

The design that we (my colleague and I) came out with.

The poster that I had designed for Iluma's promotion!

And yes.. it wasn't a TYPO ERROR! Pasta de Waraku at Iluma and Heeren is giving 25% off to ALL STUDENTS, ALL DAY @ ALL HOURS! On top of that, Pasta de Waraku have recently launched a new menu so STUDENTS.... PLEASE GET UR IDs READY TO TASTE THE RED AND WHITE MISO DISHES!

After a long working week....

Darling's mum decided to give us a treat at BARCELOS on Saturday. It was reported on the magazine that it is comparable with Nandos(the one I tried at Bugis with Lisa)! The critics review for Barcelos was good and having it situated just 1 level above Square 2 Pasta de Waraku, I was excited to know how good Barcelos really is.

The restaurant was quite empty upon my arrival even though it was already 1 plus in the afternoon. Despite the fact that the restaurant was quite empty, the food took quite long to be served too! The price (as you can see) are relatively cheap. They have not much of selection of food compared to Nandos. BUT but but... I totally love how juicy my chicken was served with PERI PERI sauce! I'm overall satisfied with the lunch especially with FREE FLOW OF DRINKS. Nandos charges even for mineral water! -_-!!!


I didnt manage to snap all my food! Hopefully this soup will portrays how much I love my food at BARCELOS!

Alrighty.. gtg now to do my crunches! :) Bye!

Mani/Pedi at Veal International (Coverderm)

I'm here to do a short review about a Mani/Pedi Salon that I had just went! I have been really finding some time to do my nails since 2 months ago. Work is totally turning me into a turtle stucked at its own shell. All I could do most of the time is to SHOP only!

While doing my usual shopping one day, I happened to pass by Veal International at this new shopping center at Orchard Road. Their promotion totally caught my attention with the 50% for all mani/pedi services. I was a little skeptical for their unbelievable move as it is really too CHEAP for such MANI/PEDI in Singapore! $20 plus for a good theraphy of CLASSIC SPA MANI/PEDI... can u believe it?

I immediately told my bestie(lala) about the great deal since I know that she is definitely the best kahki to bring along for a good tai tai session. Made our reservation and viola.. we are all set and ready for our theraphy on a FRIDAY evening.

We rushed down right after work as we couldn't wait to have our massage done after a long day at work. The salon looks spacious and classy and their company does not only deals with mani/pedi but also imports Coverderm make up products(having 30%  off now) and  they are actually a partner with Cenosis Slimming Center! This made me even more flabbergasted with the current offer that they are having!

All their products are OPI. All the way from moisturizer to essence to nail polishes. Though they have quite a limitated array of colours but still their colours are enough to brighten up your whatever blues away.


OPI Pedi moisturizer.

Here's Lala.. enjoying her hand massage while I snap a photo of her when my hands are still free and easy. Her manicurist is an experienced makeup artist/manicurist who took great care of lala. She applied alot of essence on her nails for FREE so that lala will have great pretty nails after stepping out of the salon. How sweet and thoughtful right?

As for me, I had a young and pretty shanghai girl to do my nails. I kept admiring her tofu skin like every second of it! She told me it was Coverderm make up products that make her so pretty... I think it was her GENES that made her pretty instead!

We stayed more than 3 hours on our nails! Yes! It was the longest MANICURE/PEDICURE I had ever been to! I must admit that that was the major downside but.. I realise that it was due to their perfection and care that took the whole process so long. They even have massage foot bath for you to enjoy! I totally felt like a queen on that massage look-a-like chair.

We were so happy with their services that we took up their 10 times nails services package (consist of 5 mani and 5 pedi) at a price of only $114 nett. Where to find such good offer?

So as of now, I'm a happy girl with really pretty red nails! *love*





Interested to have a pretty set of nails? Have your reservation made fast in order to enjoy the time bomb promotion cause they might stop the promotion ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!

Have a great time!

A Good Bargain

Wallet still looks new in box.
Coins Compartment

internal portion of the wallet

Price is going at S$150(Neg)  ($120 for fast deals). She does Meet-up (at her convenience) or register postage (additional $2.50).

Me-Time

It is a Monday today. I had no plans of meeting my bf up and thus I decided to have some Me-Time. I went to Ion to check out on the Stage 70% sale (going for $6 for most eyeshadow) and then walk around the whole mall to shop! That's when I saw a few people holding onto some hangers.. walking around the shopping mall.

Being a curious me, I actually kept my eyes open for any marketing program for the hangers. Then... I saw it!! I saw a a stack of hangers being hanged right beside the customer service counter of ION! As a marketing executive myself, I am always curious of how other marketing campaigns are held and what is the purpose of it plus understanding how customer would respond to such marketing programs. I find that this hanger give-away is a rather cool idea but I doubt anyone my age or with customers with no big bags would actually get a piece of hangers or let alone notice what the hangers are for.

But.. I'm really curious.. that I actually....................

yes... Took a hanger for myself!


And I am glad that.. I took it!

It states what ION has to offer. One of their promotion was... DRIVERS PAYS ONLY $2 from MONDAY TO FRIDAY at 5pm to 11 59pm! I bet you guys didnt know about such good offer right? Haha! Don't you think you peeps should thank me for being curious now?

Went down to J8 after that to do a little stationary shopping for my boss and also to get food for my mum! I was sucha good girl today that I queue 15 mins for mummy's fav. chicken rice!

Finally, after a long walk, I'm HOME for a good facial mask with 2 cucumber on my face! Love my monday!

Friends

Hi everyone! It is Sunday once again! Work starts tomorrow and I do feel abit bored now! My weekend was filled with too much joy that I really didnt want the time to stop any minute.

I went to the IT show to check out the prices of my favourite camera, Ixus 130! I was pretty disatisfied with the discount given as I felt that I could definitely get a better offer as times comes by and so.. I halt my purchase a little while longer. Though it was a short trip, I still did enjoy the companion of my dearest bf!

I had a rather rough day the next day at work but everything was sorted out before I leave for another shopping spree with my gd friend, Lala! We had dinner at KFC as we wanted to save up the moolahs for something call... CLOTHES and SHOES! We walked around town and managed to get our eyes glued on a pair of Pink Pazzion pumps. I was still contemplating on getting it since the sizing isnt too comfortable to me! I hate my feet sizes sometimes... My left foot is smaller than my right foot and buying a right pair of heels is always a chore. I know getting the rubber is an alternative but at times I just don't allow myself to buy an expensive pair of shoes which couldn't fit me well. I kept my options open while lala decided to reserve a pair! After all the long walks ard town, we actually decided make an appointment for next week mani/pedi session to continue our TGIF night!

Went over to bf's place and ko-ed after getting myself washed up! A tiring Friday indeed!

Rise and shine as early as 8.30am on a Saturday! Woke my bf up as well to get ready for our weekly run! I ran an extra 500m today! Felt so accomplished! It is really funny that I'm much willing to run now compared to my secondary school days! I think I have improved my stamina and running speed as compared to the past. Wanted to have a good afternoon nap after a good meal with his mum.. but was woken up by Lionel Koh instead to book our tickets for KARATE KID! Yea.. I mistook the movie title as KUNGFU KID in FB as the word Kungfu is mentioned almost all the time in the movie.. whereas for the word 'Karate', it was mentioned probably 2 times? Lionel Koh came to pick us up for our shopping spree in town. YES... shopping AGAIN! This time, I made up my mind to get that pair of heels into my fifi's collection of shoes! Paid $70 plus which consist of the Pazzion shoe pad (-_-!!!) - the SA was too nice to be rejected! Had our dinner at Tampopo (voted as the best ramen restaurant) and it was way too disappointing! I expected something more from them! Went over for our movie after that and I would give 4 out of 5 popcorns for it! Xiao Dre is really cute in the movie! Mj session(AGAIN!!!) at Lk's house again! I went there once every week in this month that even his dad laughed at my appearance at the door step! Ha Ha Ha!

It was really great to still have such good friends around. Just 2 weeks ago, lk invited us - the mahjong kahkis, a good steamboat dinner(at 10pm) at his place.
22 23hr dinner!

a platter of food he had prepared! Most of it are his gf's fav!


A Meat FEAST!!



The photo might not much justice but... it helluva pretty! I even heard some women asking for it after seeing their gfs wearing them. It is quite comfortable ( heels are NEVER super comfortable) and the pink is so sweet!! The heels is OMG pretty!

Alrighty! Gtg now to bed! Had 5 hrs of sleep only!

Games

I have recently bought a PS3 to entertain myself. It's not usual of me to splurge $68 for a game unless it is really worth buying it. So what have I bought? It is none other than...



Yeap! I had a total of.. 3 different games for such genre. It is so great that we had bought the guitar hero world tour band set which includes the guitar, drum set and the mic so that we can play on most games even on... ROCK BAND!

So what is so exciting about this fabulous game which made me spend money on it? It was because it consist of songs such as...

1. 3 doors down - When I'm gone
2. Carl Douglas - Kungfu fighting
3. Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
4. Culture Club - Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?
5. Hilary Duff - So Yesterday
6. Jackson 5 - ABC
7. Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
8. Robbie Williams & Kylie Minogue - Kids
9. Spice Girls - Wannabe
10. Taylor Swift - Picture To Burn

11. Taylor Swift - Love Story
12. Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me
13. Tonic - If You Could Only See
14. The Turtles - Happy Together
15. Village People - YMCA

The CD consists of 65 songs and I can strums guitar or even sing karaoka at the comfort of my bf's room!

While shopping around Fun Center, a lovely Sales assistant was having a chat with us with the latest games as the bf is interested with ALOT of games! We were talking and talking till he pop us a question..

SA: HAVE YOU HEARED ABOUT PS3 MOVE?
US: NOPE! WHAT GAME IS THAT?
SA: OMG.. YOU MEAN YOU DIDNT HEAR ABOUT THAT? YOU MUST KNOW ABT THIS!
US: ERM... (*looks SUA GU*)
SA: -Show us the video-
US: *both of us* WAH!!



This has totally win over WII in many ways such as GOOD GRAPHICS, Much HD, more exciting games and most impt.. THE GIRLS HAVE MORE GAMES TO PLAY ON PS3 now!! I totally advise you to quickly sell off you Wii asap to fetch a good price before Move comes out and those who hasn't get a PS3 and intends to get one.. PLEASE GET ONE NOW before the price increases! The move controllers will cost less than $200 I think! It is definitely a MUST BUY.. I will definitely get one for the bf and myself!

Other than the PS3, I have got myself hooked on Itouch games as well! Angry birds is seriously making me very angry each time round! I will get so pissed whenever it misses just a small distance but it never fails to entertain me in long distance bus route. Haha!

Ok! That's all for the gaming post! Do remember to pester your bf to get a band hero if he owns a PS3 or Xbox k? If its Wii then don't bother getting the game larh, it consist only 35 songs only! :)

Have a great day!

A Family Day At Sentosa

My sister had won 7 tickets to take the hippo bus to travel around Singapore's tourist attraction spots. We woke up very early last Saturday (Despite the late night mahjong on Friday) and drove down to Sentosa to start our Hippo ride.

Since I was 16, my family hasn't planned any family trip. The very last one was a KL vacation when daddy went for his meeting. I will normally take the lead to bring my mum out of the hotel to take the cab and mono rail to KLCC and Mid Valley to shop!

So, having to win that 7 tickets through NFC competition really did bond our relationship tighter especially with the presence of my dearest boyfriend.

It was my first time sitting on a HIPPO tour. Actually, it is just a topless bus driving ard singapore. I don't really understand why would tourists pay $23 each to have a sightsee around Singapore. But well.. at least my was a topless bus, there's a Rhino bus which looks exactly like a.... AIR CON SBS bus which cost.. $23 too! Since it is free, I shall not complain so much! Haha!



I was feeling damn tired yet excited for the family trip! You can see those droopy eyes! Thank god that I wore sleeveless that day, I was BAKED!


Us in the shuttle bus to Sentosa!


ME at Sentosa! See how blazing hot was Sentosa that day!
Sister and Daddy queuing up for the tickets! Smarty mummy went ard those game stalls to win some FANs and DRINKS!
Sister and Mummy!
Even at a family gathering, I had to deal with office issues! What a workaholic babe I am! *haha*


The trip started and here comes Sentosa main entrance which is still under renovation.
Can you see what is that building??

Yes... that's Marina Bay Sands. See how many people are there at the Merlion Fountain area!

I take this photo to remind myself that ONE DAY I will.. be working in this area! Please grant my wishes!

 
A picture of my mummy and bf!

And after a long day at Sentosa, daddy brought us to some area to have the best BAK KUT TEH! What beats a good meal after a sun bath? I gobble up every single dishes on the table as if I hadn't eaten for days. Our Tan family with the presence of Lee had a good heart warming day with jokes, laughters and a good awesome meal. Woots!

Yummy!!

It's Sunday today! Will be heading down to Tong Lok for lunch with my relatives to celebrate my grandma's bday! Yippie!!
