ShoppaShoppa

with CNY fast approaching, the gurls and i have been racking our brains on what to wear (and what sprees to organize, of course).
also, our nail polishes have just arrived form US. we wurve!!

alas, there have been many much blogshop launches, all trying to bank in on the festives.
therefore, (despite the impending Bangkok trip) i couldn't resist grabbing a piece from AE.


no thanks to Miss L for buying two pieces *spankie*
(i think it was her subconscious's ebil doing)


back on the topic of the Bangkok trip, i currently have on my to-buy list:
- Boots toiletries/cosmetics
- Sandals & Shoes (lots of it to last me till the next trip!)
- Wedding DIY supplies
- iPhone covers (souvenirs for colleagues)

i'm starting to get excited.
the itinerary, u ask?

touchdown -> check-in -> eat/shop -> massage -> drink!

Hawaii~haa

was randomly surfing Facebook this morning.
saw JC's trip to Honolulu over the weekend, then i ended up in a Hawaiian fan page.

and guess who i saw...


well, i didn't exactly see Captain Jack Sparrow myself YET, but i probably will, this summer while they're filming the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean on Kauai and Oahu!

hot off the press...

Application Error!


if u could peek into my brain, this would be what u'd see...


nope, i can hardly remember the events that occurred in that past 10 days or so.
leaky memory at work.

according to traces of evidence scattered on twitter and facebook, here's what happened in the past 10 days:

10 Jan
met up with Adrian and Jessica for dinner over at CA* California and Ben & Jerry's in Dempsey.
had a quick dinner and dessert session and adjourned to Bishan for an hour of prawning in celebration of Adrian's birthday.


13 Jan
OpenNet came by for the fibre installation (part of the Next Gen NBN project).
can't remember what we did afterwards, but i think we either popped by IMM for dinner and grocery shopping for Saturday's BBQ or went over to Terry's new house in Dover to check on the renovation and stuff.


15 Jan
Poppy brought me to Evertop for the renowned chicken rice in Clementi (it's Halal!) after work. pity, i was too exhausted, so i skipped dinner that night and i only giap-ed bits of his meal to taste.

next time, i'll try the Yong Tau Foo next door, as recommended by Stanley.


16 Jan
ah, i remember this - the BBQ day!
bro came by to our place and we headed back to Mommy's. on the way, Poppy stopped by Citylink Mall to get his new iPhone.

BBQ-ed in the evening with his ex-colleagues and their families.
being an annual affair, it feels much more comfy now that i get to know them better.
it's the third year (already) afterall.


17 Jan
woke up to yummy breakfast (dang, i miss that feeling!) at Mommy's.
set off to Bugis for some window shopping and prayers. we grabbed a quick bite at Joo Chiat's Sin Heng Bah Koot Teh, one of my favorite eateries while i was still in SPC.

we had a medium sized "Premium ribs" soup to share together with extra extra you-tiao. yumz.
turns out the light snack wasn't so light afterall, and we had to stuff ourselves later on coz Mommy made an extra special mushroom soup and chicken wings for us.


that's as far as my recollection brings me. *sheepish grin*.

now, i'm looking forward to my off day plus dinner with the gurls on Thursday (my only off-day this week because of OTs - sticking to my resolution, of coz).

and, not forgetting my Bangkok trip happening in 8 days' time.
been there almost a dozen times, but each time i return, i still miss the cheap thai full-body massages, the sweet mandarin orange juice sold at 20THB along the streets, long (by that, i mean REALLY long) walks in Chatuchak and Pratunam. woohoo~

Deadly Sins.

it's less than 2 weeks into the new year,
but i've sinned.


Gluttony
had a beer-downing session with the director, new manager and team at RedDot Brewery in Dempsey. we had towers of (over)flowing beer, tasted almost all of the 8 types they had in a mere span of 3 hours. excessive burping afterwards.

less than 24 hours later, met the girls for our weekly dinner at Holland V. yummy steamed soup followed by Ipoh hor fun... then came more beer-ing at Wala Wala.
Poppy came by afterwards to pick me up off for an impromptu KTV session with Charles.

yet again, less than another 24 hours later, Poppy and i scooted off to the neighboring country to replenish our grocery supplies.
then we popped by the Bah Kut Teh store and got ourselves a nice serving of Bah Kut Teh for two, some Sesame Oil Chicken and Lemon Ice Jelly desserts. yumz.


Extravagance
despite always not being able to fit into their clothes, i couldn't resist a piece of it... or two.
and so, on Thursday i bought this:



Greed
then comes greed, when i contemplated buying another two, one of which i had already commented for on the launch but went OOS (out of stock).




or should i go for this instead?

New Year. New Resolutions.

it is the time of year when people begin to make promises to themselves, most of which are broken within a few months. that's right, i'm referring to New Year's resolutions.

everyone has published their resolutions for the new year on either their blog, facebook or twitter status.


let's see what i have on my list this year..

1. cut down on sprees
relatively hard now that i've found my way to buy stuff not just from US, UK but also Korea at the comfort of my home. ok, skip this.


1. continue to buck up on my exercise regime
2009 was a good start.
now that i've moved in with Poppy, let's hope he''ll continue to keep me motivated


2. i will attempt (at least a little) DIY for my wedding
i resolve to add some personal touches (or at the least attempt to do so).
on side note, i was (or still am?) infamously known in the family for my 三分钟热度 lit. short-lived enthusiasm. i need some whipping from my bridesmaids.


3. increase my moolah
alright, i figured i probably won't be able to save much because of my terrible shopping habits. since i can't save more, i shall earn more then! more OT!


need help with ur resolutions?
