My first GEO Lens

Seriously, I have no idea where have all my blogging sense went?

Anyway, I shall quickly blog about what I have gotten myself for this week that earned a blog entry. I bought a.....

PAIR OF GEO LENSES!

It's my very first time purchasing it and I'm really so excited to see how much it will help to increase my pupil. I have not tried it out yet cause there's 1 more lens that I'm currently using.

After hearing so much about Eyestation.com , I went down straight to one of their optical store to order a lens. Those lens which I wanted was all without a degree and I randomly chose one really stunning lens from the rest of the beautiful lenses. Since this was my first time purchasing, I have gotten a pair of monthly lens instead.

As mentioned, I have not tested them out yet but seriously, with the amount I am paying.. I'm so glad that it came with a eye lens container. Woo hoo!! I will try to blog on how my eyes turned stunning in a couple of days later. :)

The way I plan my trip

Darling will be finishing his studies in May this year and in order to celebrate this very last marathon, we are planning to go

HIONG KONG aka... HONG KONG!!!!

We have been to HK last year actually but since we have gone with different grp of people (Me with my bestie and he went with his family), we have decided to spend more moolahs this time with a 7 days 6 nights trip.

I know right.. 1 WEEK in HK is indeed quite crazy, but it was actually an accidental decision. HA! The story goes like this:

Daddy was suppose to help me book  this trip using his KrisFlyer pts but thanks to his very busy schedule, he had to book the tickets when he was on his business trip. He called me at 7.20am on a weekday to book the tickets and since I only wakes up at 7.45am to 8am for work, I was still in LALA LAND when the phone rang.

He was asking me on the flight days which I am planning and since I was still in a sleepy mode, I told him 20-26 instead of 20-25(which was the original plan). KNowing my dad who always think more than 4 days is LONG for a vacation trip, I was persistant to confirm that 7 days was indeed the right timing I am planning to go. So that was how I ended with a 7 days 6 night trip which I am pretty glad with the mistake I have made.

I have been to HK 2 times and in these 2 times, I am always there for more than 5 nights.

1st trip - 10 days (cause my friend had a relative there who gave up his apartment for us)

2nd trip - 6 days (with my bestie for her graduation trip)

And.. I always have a emo feeling whenever I left my last footsteps in HK. I simply just love HK!!!

I love the food, the shopping, the scenary, the people (who dress so professionally in the CBD area) and EVERYTHING else abt HK!

So since I will be travelling for 7 days, it is definitely a MUST to plan for the itinery so that we don't over-spend our limits. I have build out a excel spreadsheet for it which honestly.. is my first time utilizing a excel for a travel budget purpose.

Interested to know what I have planned for my itineries? I will blog more in the next post!!

I am back again with gifts from Anna Sui

Hi friends, I'm once again back to this blogsphere. Where have I gone to?

Nowhere in particular. Work is eating up 10 hrs of my time per day - 8hrs in the office and 2 hrs of solutions thinking for the next day. I am pretty getting used to the life now and in fact, I am enjoying it! I am glad that despite all these stress that I am having, I do have a very supporting team who recognize my effort and a group of very cheerful colleagues who never fails to brighten me up when I'm 99% of giving up.

I still remember those days when I felt like I'm a useless bum who could never be able to manage all the artwork stuff by myself. I kept blaming myself, the boyfriend and the society almost on every single day. I was even worst when shit happens in the first 6 months of my job. But look at where I am now... Still in PG, surviving quite well!

I really wanna shoutout to all my fellow fresh grad friends. It's ok if you are not in a fantastic company or met tons of challenges looking for a job or surviving in it. Stay positive and give it your best shot and you will never know what fruitful result you can have in the end.

Alright, here's a good news for those who have read my 1st blog entry of the year. I'm going to share 2 of my Anna Sui gifts to one of you. Leave me a message of your name and email address to tell me that you want it in the comment link after this entry.

Gifts are as of below:
1. Anna Sui Mouse Pad (Authentic)
2. Anna Sui Color Powder - Gold (Authentic)

I might consider doing more of this especially when I spotted any sales. :) And of course, I do promise that I will blog more often and much interesting stories other than work related problems.

*I'm taking down my chatbox cause there are too much foreign people with wierd links*

My dearest boy birthday surprise

29th October was my dearest boyfriend, Lionel Lee, big day. Due to his coming papers, we have decided not to spend too much time on the birthday celebration. Hence, it became a hush hush birthday celebration where there's just 2 of us. I wanted to actually bring him out of Singapore but knowing how important exam is to him, I decided to forgo the thought of it.

It was reallll....y hard to plan for so a small yet meaningful and unforgettable birthday celebration. Money is not an issue but TIMING IS! Hence, I told him that we will have crab noodle from Uncle Leong instead since it was pretty long ago since we had crabs from very nice restaurants.

We went to the Punggol branch since we believe that the ambience will be better beside a park. We chose an outdoor sitting to enjoy the breeze of the after rain. We went there about 6pm on a Friday evening and was quite pleased that there was no queue.

We check on the menus and as usual, we order the dishes without knowing their prices cause they are not stated even for vegetables dishes. Excited to know what we have ordered?

1. The Fried Tofu

2. 3 different types of eggs Spinach (4 stars)

3. The famous CRAB NOODLE (5 stars)

4. The must order crab (Jin Sha Nai You Crab)

The total number dishes we have ordered for just the 2 of us

I think we are really CRAZY when we saw all the dishes arrived. People around us must have thought that we have not been eating well for the past 3 days. We tried to finish up EVERYTHING but we just couldn't store anymore food into our tummy for the MUST-ORDER Jin Sha Nai You crab and so, we got it packed for mummy instead. Mummy finished up the whole crab all by herself and kept praising that the crab is really good. :)

Darling went back to study after 2 hrs of dinner while I started sending my dedication to Yazmin on Class 95fm via the radio website. Mummy hide the small cake in the refrigerator where darling will least search it. :)

@11.58pm - I acted very busy running around the house to pack some stuff just so that he doesn't find something is amiss. I got the 2 slices of very delicious cake out ( it's 2 slices cause I believe that we will be very full after a good dinner at uncle Leongs and the 2 slices should be enough to feed Mummy, the bf and myself) and stick a candle on it. I was searching in vain for a lighter in my house but all I could find were MATCHSTICKS and so I tried to strike with the least sound I could do. Finally.. 12am came!

@ 12am (29 oct) - I sang a Happy Birthday song to him and the dedication was played after that. Mission accomplished!! He was very surprised and happy as well. However, he was too full to have even a pinch of chocolate. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!!!

Movie Preview: Tower Heist

In this movie preview, I brought a colleague along to watch it with me. It had been eons since I had last watch a movie with a girl friend and when I found out that I had gotten myself 2 tickets from OMY, I knew I had to whatsapp her about it.

Before I share with you guys on my reviews about the show, here's a little synopsis about Tower Heist.
Tower Heist is a 2011 crime comedy film directed by Brett Ratner and written by Ted Griffin and Jeff NAthanson based on a story by Bill Collage, Adam Cooper and Griffin. Main lead actors are of course... Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. This show is about how the employees of an exclusive apartment building who lose their pensions in the Ponzi scheme of Wall Street businessman Arthur Shaw steal back their money with the help of an experienced criminal theft (Eddie Murphy).

Pre thoughts about the movie

When I first knew that I had got 2 tickets to the movie, I was really very excited. I must admit that I knew NOTHING about the movie even before entering the movie theatre but the thought about seeing Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy just excites me. Tuesday was a really stressed up day to end with especially when my head was thinking of solutions and solutions for the whole of TUESDAY! I met up with Rika at 6.30pm after sending one last important email. She was asking me if there was an issue at work and I told her immediately that Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller better make my day end with a good laughing moments. Eddie Murphy have been my one of my favorite comedian since Big Momma and Nutty professor days. He's just a really very talented guy. Rika and I got a popcorn set to enjoy the movie on our Tuesday Night.

Post thoughts about the movie

I pretty like the storyline of the movie. It shows how 4 noobs have to make their way through a high security building and steal  $20M out from the safe only to find out that the $20m was made of GOLD to build a CAR instead. The story in the beginning was a little too serious for the 2 comedians but I had a great laughing moments towards the end where they had to transport the big and heavy car out from a high level. It was reallly hilarious.

Even though the movie did really make my day end with a good laughter to forget the stress I had at work, I do think that this movie also did gave me some disappointments as it is not as funny as I really expect it to be.

Loudness of my laughter: 2/5

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank omy.sg for the tickets! :)

Monopoly Macdonalds

I'm a big loyal fan of Macdonald since young but I'm really trying to cut down on the cravings due to the FATs I would gain. But thanks to this monopoly contest which came back after a hiatus, I kinda put all the weight loss plans away hoping that I could win the $80,000 or that Macbook air.

On every week, I will be seen munching my burgers away while sticking those stickers on my Monopoly sheet. I'm glad that I have colleagues who are as enthu as me as well. We will exchange stickers and hoping that on one fine day, we will walk away with a CAR or $80,000 (fat hope.. I know!)

Nur with her Monopoly game sheet which she brings everyday

Our extra monopoly stickers. Threw alot away due to the repeated places I have :(

Here we are again at United Square Macdonalds during lunchtime. This is what all of us would be doing before we start our meal - tearing all the game labels apart. Hahaha!

As usual, we won nothing big in the end but just a small packet of fries which I think was a good consolation price.

A small packet of fries for the lovely Japanese lady. :)

Friends out there who are playing/not playing this Monopoly contest, please kindly keep a look out if you have the below game labels and do share with me if you have it k?

- Joo chiat Road

- Toa Payoh

- Thomson Road

- Tanjong Rhu

- Shenton Way

- Orchard Road ( I will probably sell the car away and share the prize)

Here are the list of current unclaimed prizes. The $80,000 prize had been claimed. :(

Fright Fest at Singapore Flyer

When I knew that I have won 2 tickets to FrightFest @ Singapore flyer media launch (thanks to Omy.sg), I was as happy as a lark. This is the very first time in my 25 yrs of my life that I am going to meet the Pontianaks and hantu. I brought my boyfriend along with me for this event just in case the event was too scary for me. :)

Tickets cost $25 nett – Includes entry into FrightFest @ Singapore Flyer Rainforest and 1 Special Halloween Brew (non-alcoholic)*

It was a pity that I didnt have time to shop for a halloween outfit or accessories and hence I ransack my wardrobe and manage to pull out a dress and a horn for this event.

The day finally came and I met the boyfriend at Suntec at 7pm. We had a quick dinner and made it at the event at 7.45pm. We were pretty lost at first as it was a pretty long time since we had went to Singapore flyer. The very last time was 2 years ago when we have got 2 tickets to NDP preview and 2 years later... there's a new eatery food junction at the Singapore Flyer!!

We made our way to the Singapore reception counter and was greeted by a few 'scary' people. Oh boy, I can see that these people are really very enthusiastic with the halloween theme. During the registration, I was shock to realise that the organizer for the event was one of my secondary school friend, Fulvia. Even though we were both from different classes, I'm glad that she could still remember my name. :)

The event started not long after we have all settled down. Since this was a media launch, we will be seeing only 60% of the pontianaks on that night. Still, I was feeling really excited and scared at the same time that the haunted jungle is too much for my timid heart. 

The entrance to the haunted jungle..

Camwhore a little while waiting for our turn to enter into the very eerie jungle. Trust me.. hearing the first batch of people shouting isn't really helping me to conquer my fear.

Pieces of Talismans were seen almost everywhere in the jungle.

After 5 mins of waiting, it's finally our turn to enter into the dark jungle. We were greeted by this old lady who was smacking her clogs on the paper man and was cursing at in in Cantonese.

All of us started snapping photos of her until she suddenly stood up and scare us by shouting in Cantonese. I nearly threw my camera into the plants and run. A girl in front of us was so frightened that she took a step back and stepped onto my bf's feet. Ha ha ha!!!

We walked further into the jungle and out of nowhere, a ghost appeared in front of me. She's a rather nice ghost cause when I asked her to take a picture, she stood there for me to proceed. Good ghost!

When my heart was much settled into the environment and was talking to my boyfriend about the decorations which the event organizer had put so much effort in, 'HE' had to BOO me and scare the shit out of me. My boyfriend was laughing out loud when he saw me shouting like a 3 yr old girl. My boyfriend even asked him where was his buddy that night. Guys!!!

See how happy my bf is! After snapping this photo, I realised that the 'ghost' looks rather funny and cute instead of scary. Maybe it is just me who is afraid of 'HIM'. I kept asking my bf to beat him up when the 'ghost' try to catch me. HAHAHAH!

After all the scary moments, here comes something really funny!!

This lady here doesn't really appear to be a ghost to me. She was kneeling down on the floor, crying when we saw her. She stood up when she saw us approaching and told us that she was really sad that her so-and-so passed away. She plead us to look into the coffin and pass us a joss stick. We didn't know what to do and hence we stood there with the joss stick and asked each other 'WHERE TO PUT THIS JOSS STICK'. With nowhere to poke the joss stick, we put it on the floor and walk away. This lady made it so realistic as she kept putting her head down and asking us to look into the coffin. 5 star for her drama-ness!

2nd laughing moments:

This cheeky ghost took a feather duster and tickle my leg when I walk pass him. The jungle was in total darkness and when I felt something poking my leg, I told my bf that there's something on my leg and he was like.. NOTHING LEI (cause the feather duster was only poking at me).. ORH.. THERE'S THE GHOST!

A nice pretty ghost.. YEs.. I was sweating.

Here's some pictures of the deco.

 

The fright fest was really frightening and I'm calling out to all daring friends out there who wants a taste of a fearful experience to PLEASE KINDLY MAKE A PURCHASE TO THE FRIGHT FEST Singapore flyer.  

After a good frightful time at the frightful fest, it's finally.. the SINGAPORE FLYER TIME!

The bf and me at the Journey of dreams

                                     

I didn't know Singapore looks so nice till I'm on top of the flyer. 

The complementary Halloween brew which taste really nice! I really wonder what was in that drink.

That sort of sum up my whole experience in the Fright Fest Media event which I was invited by Omy.com.sg. Thank You OMY!! I'm gonna show you some pictures to end of this gruesome post.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!
